Ardent Wrapped 2024

**Xarae**

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In celebration of the New Year, I thought it be a fun bonus to take a second to look back at 2024 on Ardent! In the spirit of the year-end Spotify Wrapped playlists that go around during the holiday season, let's take a look at some of the facts and figures from the past year... and yes, there are also presents to "unwrap!"

Please claim once on a single character account or an OOC account, all rewards are being granted once per player account and all you have to do is post this form in reply to this thread and WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Also included is a space to tell us about a personal memorable moment from your year on Ardent - a favorite thread, piece of character development, community moment, whatever!

I am so grateful for our community here and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2025.
