One Shots: Celebrating Wintersday
Reader Brinstar offers us another holiday-themed screenshot form the Guild Wars Wintersday event, complete with explanation of the holiday:
Wintersday is the first day of the year in Tyria. The god of death and cold, Grenth, and the goddess of life and light, Dwayna, are at odds with each other on how Wintersday should be celebrated. Dwayna believes the day should be celebrated in the spirit of giving during the coldest months of the year, and Grenth prefers that the day serve as a solemn reminder of death's hold over us all. Each year on Wintersday (January 1), Grenth and Dwayna vie for the support of players in all Districts through a series of games. Depending on which god wins the support of the District, they will either receive lots of presents from Dwayna, or receive presents and get killed and resurrected over and over again by Grenth's minions. Each player is also awarded a special hat, depending on which god wins.
Death and hats! Now you know where we'll be on January 1st!
