Mettarë is a time of renewal and joy. It celebrates the end of the year and beginning of the new. Celebrated at the winter solstice, when the day is shortest and the night is longest, it is a time to gather with those most important to us, to feast and be merry and remember that life and joy continue, even in the dark and cold of winter. The Deigolowine is an important part of this. The gift-giving, a time to show appreciation for each other and to give that small bit of joy.


How this works:
This is essentially a Secret Santa. Everyone can sign up for the Diegolowine, from any kingdom. Sign-ups will stay open until Dec. 20, at which time I will post the list for who is gifting to who (whited out, obviously. No peeking!) The gift-giving is entirely IC, unless arranged by individuals to also include a RL element. But this is entirely up to you. Gifts are handed out to each other in the Mettarë Feast thread, which will open on Dec. 20th. If you can't make the feast, you can still participate! Just mail your gift using the post office AFTER the feast has opened.

Rules:
Open to ALL kingdoms and races. No need to have a Rohirric character.
Gifts should be ME appropriate (so no tablets or gift cards or things like that) as well as family-appropriate.
Because we all know how RL can interrupt the plaza, please indicate if you are willing to be gift-giver to two people, in case someone has to drop out. We want everyone to get a gift!
Be creative, and HAVE FUN!!!

Hey @Shivased

Sign me up, please. Not sure if it will be Aodh (or one of my NPCs) who'll dispense the gift... Grins, adds another aspect to Secret Santa :lol:

I'll play as well, and I can do 2 gifts. It'll be Eldreda and/or Taeth doing the gifting. Definitely Eldreda, Taeth is the maybe.

@Pele Alarion , @Calimir @Winddancer @Aodh Hammerhelm @Taethowen @Rior Laegiel @Fuin Elda @Sil @Skwovet @Dimcairien Luiniel @Beowulf @Nessa Saelind @Lailyn @Moriel

Diegolowines have been sorted, please check the OP, names are whited out in the brackets. Pele, you won the dice roll for 2 diegolowines, so if there's any change in ability to do 2, just let me know and I can pull in one of my toons to do it.

As a reminder, diegolowine gifts should be handed out at the Mettare Feast, which will open shortly.

Mettarë gift to Eldreda's recipient has been posted in the Post Office, since she won't be attending the feast.

As I understood it, you were supposed to give it to the character chosen when we applied. *thinking face* I mentioned that my NPC Rihannon will be doing the gifting. Although there were some that were undecided during application :shrug:

Sorry Windy, I was undecided at the time and have now brought a male elf character :lol: I'm up for whatever - happy to say the gift is for Tarawen - maybe @Pele Alarion can bring it back to Gondor if we go that route?

No no it's totally fine! I'd been planning on bringing this character for a while otherwise I would've switched it up once I saw your post. But yes let's just do that if Pele is cool with it. Erniel is very cheerful and probably won't even notice he doesn't get a gift :googly:
