Frostfell

"Frostfell is coming, the vulrich's getting fat! Please to put a copper in the old gnome's hat!" from a popular Qeynos children's Frostfell rhyme

It's Frostfell Time in Norrath, again! Song fills the air, Norrathians bustle to purchase that special gift and all the fixing for their feast, and those Frostfell Elves are out in force once more, bring cheer and gifts of the season to one and all. Heck, even Lord Nagafen wants in on the festivities!

Frostfell is the Live Event for December, originally run in 2005, in celebration of the Winter Solstice (or Christmas, if you prefer).

Snowball Fights!
Scattered about the city zones you will find harvestable stacks of snowballs. Gather them to get a stack of 20 Snowballs. When you target a mob, or another player, and use the snowball you will throw a snowball at the target causing them to run one of several different animations including shaking a fist at the thrower or being knocked down! Get your guild together for a Frostfell party and have a snowball fight contest!

''WARNING!!! Hitting a Fae with a snowball while they are flying will knock them out of the sky, possibly causing death! While this may seem hilarious to non-Fae it would be in very poor taste.'' Rumor says that this was fixed just before it went live. Confirmation needed.

As in Narnia, you step through (click) the wardrobe to be transported to the Frostfell Wonderland Village! Find Mr. McScroogle on an island at the back of the village and, when you talk to him, you are transported to his home AS HIM! You will be visited by 3 ghosts of Frostfell past, present and future.
