THE TUVMAS MIRACLE

 

 

---

 

It was the 13th day of the Tuvmas calendar! A cast of white flaked snow as they were called in the northern realms of the continent would descend upon the capital of the Southern Kingdom, it’s warmth shrouded by this cold but spectacular view of snow that ladened the capital with scenes of white mangled with the colourful and vibrant bricks of the city. At the center stood the erected Tuvmas tree, decorated only night’s prior as the citizens of the southern nation had come together, in unison to celebrate the soon to be crowned tree with the Star of St. Lothar. Never before had a phenomenon like this been witnessed in the south, but such a shift in the weather for a singular season was an omen that was relished by its citizens, the taverns filled with citizens, peers and royalty alike, each conversing as they gathered around the warmth of drinks and a center fireplace, cheerful and blissful in their conversation as they all awaited the day for crowning the tree and soon it would come. . .

 

Then came the day where all gathered around the lushful tree imported wholly from a northern forest ladened with white’s of snow from a gentle descent of flakes the night prior. The denizens, foreigners, all who came to witness the tuvmas celebration did so in jolly and in anticipation as the hosters, Lady Augusta Eliana Temesch and the Lady Yelena Vasileia Virosi announced that the time was near to crown the tree as promised! And thus it would be.

 

 

The Temesch announced to the gathered folks, announcing that it was time for the procession to begin and for The King of Balian to officially crown the Tuvmas tree in order to prepare for the season to begin. . . he made his way glancing up and towards the tops of the tree, everyone looked in spectated in anticipation for the festivities to being, but it was only then that the King noticed an odd detail and a pivotal part missing. . . “There is no ladder!” Called King John II and much to the dismay of the gathered crowd, he was speaking the truth, prayers and whispers broke out at once and Tuvmas it seemed. . . was doomed to fail, some even surmised that it was the doing of the rumoured Grinch, they wondered if Tuvmas was truly ruined.

 

But it was at that moment, as though their prayers were heard in an instant that a ladder had been shown by a star in the sky, many watched as it was found and spotted! None knew where it had truly come from, but none cared, they knew that no matter what, St. Lothar would always guide the peoples and the nation of Balian into the light on behalf of GOD himself, though none knew of the true origins or truly cared about the procurement of the ladder, many were instead taken by surprise and would call this a most Tuvmas miracle and indeed it was! Tuvmas had been saved!

 

 

Only moments after the ladder was entirely propped by the Tuvmas tree, both with care to not see the tree damaged and to see that the King was safely held up and able to place the star upon the tree would the denizens watch as the king, guided by the shining moonlight at the top of the tree would make his way forth, eventually reaching the top of the tree and then began the countdown to the crowning of the Tuvmas tree.

 

 

And so was the Tuvmas tree crowned, on the night of the 11th of Godfrey’s Triumph, in the year of our Lord 140 BA,

 

But the events and the festivities hadn’t ceased there! For by the planning of the Lady Virosi and Temesch had called for the gathered folks around the tree to begin decorating the tree officially, those who decorated the tree were rumoured to be granted luck for what might come in the future. . . 

 

 

Thus we wish all, a very Merry Tuvmas from Balian, it is the time to be Merry and to be Jolly.
