The Unusual Christmas Quiz
The time between Christmas and New Year's Eve is celebrated differently across the world. Every country has its own traditions and customs.
The Runes of Magic Team wishes every player and their families a happy and relaxing time. This year we have decided to create an event where we keep the individual Christmas traditions in mind.
This board event consists of 24 questions. 12 of those are identical for all communities and ask about the world of Taborea. The remaining 12 are different for each community. Your task is to answer those 24 questions and combine the resulting letters into a Christmassy phrase. Finally, you'll have to write a short Christmas poem containing this phrase.
Deadline for entries is 05.01.2024
