EBON GATE: Between now and Ebon Gate’s opening day, it is the lead-in to the big event. Feeders will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of them will fade away, but a few will not. Look for the marionettes in swaddle cloths during your next hunt!

Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep, the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!
