The agents of Heroica Hall are surprised one morning to see the Menahi, Nondos Aghonzath, and a cybernetic enhanced Daraki stacking miscellaneous objects under a Vorbanian Oak tree "Happy Yul'Yom Agents!" The frustrated Ornithun accountant, Kreiri, walks into the hall. "Nondos! Who authorized this? Where in budget was there a line item for Yul'Yom gifts? Do you have any idea how tight things are right now?" "Tight. BWAHAHAHA! Don't you worry your pretty feathery head Ms. Kreiri, I discussed things with Wranquen. He assured me we could afford it. Besides, the heroes enjoy a bit of respite and holiday cheer, it was getting a might gloomy around here!" Thorvald pipes up from behind the bar. "Hrmph... and what's wrong with gloomy?" "Oh don't be a Kruge, Thorvald. Get out the 'nog, pour the mulled-wine, it's time to celebrate Yul'Yom!" The Daraki having finished arranging the odd assortment of baked goods, luggage, and furniture around the tree finally speaks up. "Verily friend Nandos, p'rhaps t wouldst be beneficial to enlighten our bosom companions as to the nature of Yul'yom?" "Surely everyone knows about Yul'Yom, no? Very well then a tale I shall tell!" The Menahi grabs a tankard of mulled wine and settles in beside the tree. "Long ago the ancestors of the O’Kor’uk were enslaved by species of evil folk known as the Vol’Kor’iin. The holiday is in remembrance of that first Yul'Yom, the great Day of Preparation, when the O’Kor’uk made ready to in concert rise up against their Vol’Kor’iin oppressors and win their freedom. In the legend it is said that the smiths and bakers of the O'Kor'uk hid the weapons of revolution in loaves of bread so as not to be discovered by their overlords. Modern day participants of Yul'Yom may not hide blades within baguettes, but still enjoy hiding gifts for their friends and families in oddly shaped or inconspicuous wrappings and making a game of guessing what could be hidden in such misleading packages. Adherents of the Boundless Sky faith carried the tradition with them all throughout the galaxy after the O'Kor'uk Scattering and it later became co-opted by many other cultures. It's a personal favorite of mine and old Vazrurg here." "Tis indeed a chance most noble to remind one the bonds we forge in battle and in life." "Couldn't have said it better old friend! Now agents, why don't you come here and each choose something!" ~*To celebrate this Yul'Yom, all players can pick an item from the list below.
