This event covers two distinct holidays rolled into a shared event.
- "Krampusnacht" is the Yule event, and borrows heavily from real-world Norse Mythology, specifically that of Niflheim, Hel, and Krampus.
- "End of Days" is the New Years event, and borrows from the real-world Mayan Mythology, specifically the Mayan Calendar and the b'ak'tun that ended on December 12th, 2012.
Dates
In 2012, it was introduced as "End of Days", an individual event celebrating New Years - there was no corresponding Yule event that year. In 2013 Yule/Krampusnacht was added and the event was renamed to "A Mother of a Season". In 2014, it was renamed again to "Winter Holidays".
