Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment are bringing winter to Neverwinter. From December 19 the citizens of Neverwinter will be celebrating the Winter Festival of Simril, the observance of the winter solstice and the longest night of the year.

“Mayor Vario Cephied of Twilight Tor has opened his doors to all adventurers seeking a winter wonderland to escape to.  Sit by roaring bonfires and feast on roasted meat and drink sweet winter wine.  Gaze upon the stars with crystal clear night skies, relax a bit on Glorfindar Lake and partake in ice fishing, or compete for the best times at the Twilight Run, a slalom course which runs down the mountain and around the lake.” Written in the Neverwinter news.

Festivities will continue until January 9 between which time a whole new religion will be introduced along with new gameplay mode and new companions and mounts for players. In the town of Twilight Tor players can take part in the Twilight run, go ice fishing, go against new foes, and collect Lights of Simril and Stars of Fortune.
