How do you celebrate the most festive season of the year? With a Winter Maiden Festival, duh! Together, spread holiday cheer and keep Marianople and Austera safe from the icy intruders beginning on December 17. Bah humbug! During the event, festival period rules will be in effect in Marianople and Austera* to prevent PvP from occurring during the joyous season. Getting to the festival zones is pretty easy; use the festival gate in Diamond Shores.
*Please note the localization of the quest "Blessing the Basins" will direct you to Mistmerrow. However, this is incorrect and the festival is celebrated in Marianople and Austera.
