Greetings Sector!

It is time for a little game. The Guardians have listed some tasks that may be accomplished in the Winterflame festival grounds for points! We hope you enjoy your time seeking and finding. We very much enjoyed doing it, too.

Rules:

This game is played on the Winterflame Festival Grounds, the Thill Shipping Yards, and the Tosmar Preserve.
Play it together! This is a great activity to do with a large group!
You do not have to do every single task on this list for credit. Do as many as you want. This game is built to be tailored to your exploration wishes!
There are no prizes for this game. The points are there for your own tallying abilities and your sense of self worth. Lord the imaginary points over all of the other spacers who did not complete our tricksy little tasks!
Be honest with your points tallying; They are made up and random, and it's more fun!
Have a fact you thought should really be included in this game? Add it to your message when you're finished and we'll include it in our master list!
Have a great Winterflame from all of Celestine to all of you.

Instructions:

We have divided our trivia questions and item hunts into categories for your convenience. Pick one category, a few from each category, or do them all! When you are finished, tally up your points (they are arbitrary and random) and message Arissa Moonchild the results of your Winterflame Scavenger Hunt! At the end of the hunt, we will tally up the points and post up the results.
