Snimvig

Snimvig is a week long, annual winter festival celebrated throughout the Splendid Lands to celebrate the first appearance of the Snow Cloud. It begins on the 24th December and ends with Loukim on the 31st of December.

History
Snimvig first occurred over 31,000 years ago when the Snow Cloud first appeared and produced the first snow on the Icy Continent. The Snow Cloud created the snow creatures after snowing on the continent for a year. The snow creatures then celebrated and worshiped the Snow Cloud, declaring him an ally of the moon. The snow creatures continued celebrating the Snow Cloud by conducting a yearly religious festival in which gifts are exchanged between friends and family and snow games and sports were played.

A thousand years later the Snow Cloud reappeared in a larger form, covering the entire Splendid Lands. He declared it was a guarantee that it would snow for one week every Snimvig. This gave the Snimvig holiday international recognition and resulted in the festival being adopted by people all over the world.
