Christmas special art pack (Update 2023)

Greetings, brave explorers of Nanraas! Christmas hustle and bustle is speeding up, so it’s finally time to think about pleasant chores and get some sweet presents for the loved ones. Soon our family will gather around the cozy fireplaces or Christmas trees to unwrap colorful boxes with exciting heartwarming surprises inside!

Nanraas has also got a cycle of winter holidays that is so much expected by little hatchlings and adult om’veri alike – the Three Aegises Festivity and the Chio’nova.

Since the moment the first snow cover the roof the Tower of the Chronicler – the place where the oldest and the wisest of the om’veri records the historical chronicles of the current epoch in the Book of the Ancestors – the pleasant chores of the preparation for these two festivities begin. For the next 24 days the entire Nanraas looks like a beehive that is preparing for the holidays to come. Despite the multiple differences, our Christmas and New Year traditions have much in common with the celebration of the Three Aegises Festivity and the Chio’nova. Adult om’veri usually bring a pine tree to their homes and decorate it with colorful glass balls and sweets.

Since new chores and preparations for the festivities consume all the free time of the om’veri, most of the enterprises offer their workers a paid vacation called “The Three Aegises Fiesta”. Culmination of the festival is the grand celebration in the center of every town and city round Nanraas. Every om’verai gives the Aegis he/she was born under a small ceremonial pawmade present that varies from a small candy from a hatchling to a gigantic statue of the particular Aegis erected by a rich entrepreneur or politician. All the presents are left at the public shrines or family altars located inside living quarters. As the thanks for the offering, it is believed that each Aegis purifies the hearts of each om’veri allowing them to enter the new lunar cycle with all the sins atoned and grieves washed away.

Chio’nova is the festival of the lunar cycle change that occurs every year on the 368thday. Unlike The Three Aegises Festivity, Chi’nova is a holiday with a fixed date. Traditionally, the oriental region of Chyme-Calantre celebrates this festival especially pompously – since this is the second night of the year when it is forbidden to sleep, all the om’veri try to get charged with the positive energy that is rumored to fill the world. Nevertheless, the rest of the Chio’nova traditions remain the same: sweets, presents, family reunions.

To make the merry Winter Holidays even merrier, we would like to present you our special holiday artpack, which includes some awesome holiday-themed artworks and even the prototype works that are more than 8 years old!
