Only the PCs can fight back the darkness and save the holidays from the doom that came to Christmas Town. The Yule-Light, perched atop its majestic pine of old, is dying. This strange gemstone tree-topper has sat for untold millennia, shining its joyful and life-giving light over the small hamlet of Christmas Town serving as a symbol of hope and peace. Now it is wane and dimming. At the same time far to the north, hidden in the gloom of a mountain-top cave, the vile Grinch has awakened. Foul, mean, and possibly with a hole where his heart should be, this king of sinful sots seethes with hatred for the holidays. With only days left before Christmas Eve, a sour-sweet wind blows across the north and spreads a vile taint that threatens the yearly tradition of Lord Claus traveling the realm delivering cheer and good faith.
