[QUOTE="Indagare Nogitsune, post: 9506333, member: 40018"] The third-greatest (but, arguably, most beloved) of the halfling festivals is the week-long Hagswatch which cumulates on Hagswatchnight. It is a time of exchanging gifts and gathering with friends and families. Father Winter, the servant of the Hag, is said to give gifts to those who have none or otherwise reward the just and good. For them he appears as a jolly old man of their species with a sack or backpack or similar item from which he gives a gift. For those who have been wicked, however, Father Winter appears as a terrifying creature, and they end up inside his sack/backpack/etc. where they are confronted over their wicked ways. Most who experience this end up reforming, but there are legends that some simply refuse and are instead turned into Winter Trolls under the command of Father Winter. The truth of this is unknown, but many have reported sightings of Father Winter or, at least, have found mysterious gifts on the morn of Hagswatchnight. Other people, well known for their cruelty, have suddenly turned a new leaf overnight. The Winter Trolls are the most unknown, though some have claimed to have found them at the poles. They are thought to be a counterpart to the fiends and are tasked with finding the true names of them, especially the eldest. [/QUOTE]
