Day 1 -- Ink

"It seems we're one walnut short of our quota if we're to have enough ink to write the entire squirrel manifesto. Again. Wouldn't happen to know anything about that?"
"...No."

Only a small number of cape hogs bore the recessive trait that caused them to grow an additional pair of ornamental tusks, and of those many were killed for their ivory before growing to maturity ...

Buy the old pig farm they said. It will be FUN they said. It's got GoOd BoNes they said.

Day 4 -- Acorn

One of the more misleadingly-named seasonal fae found in the Fallows, the prolific thimble-sized "acorn spiders" are actually crustaceans.

Day 5 -- Gossamer

Insect wings from the depths of the deep woods made for frail quills, but far and away the best for transcribing spellwork. And they made you feel extra fancy while doing it.

Day 6 -- Hunter's Moon

For hussars in training that lived in the deep woods, under so many layers of canopy no sunlight would reach them, flying during the full moon was the first step toward acclimating to the light levels of the surface world.

Day 8 -- Clockwork

Automatons by no means needed to be ornamental, but artisans of the deep woods didn't tend to understand concepts like "too much."

Day 9 -- Blood

As a commonly shared celebratory drink at gatherings and feasts, so-called "yotie wine" was made from the fermented blood of any beast large enough to make for a satisfying hunt, mixed with just enough anticoagulant venom to give it a kick.

Day 10 -- Lantern

Stained glass lanterns are often employed by hunters of the deep woods, as the diffused light doesn't stand out as harshly among the phosphorescence below the canopy, allowing them to travel without alerting the wildlife.

Day 11 -- Sweet

Oleaster berries were harvestable for a short time in the autumn months. Expert foragers knew to pick only the berries that glowed bright golden when disturbed.

Day 12 -- Mushroom

Houseplants in the deep woods are more often fungal than floral.

Day 13 -- Grimoire

"Can we at least take a break? My hands are tired and my ears are ringing from all the beeps..."
"We can't stop now! Not when we're so close. Not after generations of wisdom passed down from our ancestors who spoke of the power contained in this spellbook. --

Day 14 -- Foliage

Even the mundane fauna residing in the Fallows hide behavioral quirks that only appear certain times of year, such as the common pied robin, which adorns its feathers with the brightest leaves it can find among the autumn foliage in hopes of attracting a mate.

Day 15 -- Amphibian

The mosquito-infested swamp really wasn't all too dangerous if you brought the right equipment.

Day 16 -- Reclaimed by Nature

Retrieving lost explorers presented a reliable source of income for those who knew the deep woods well, if a bit of a depressing one. These tourists almost never turned up alive.

Chaff for some is a full pantry for others.

Day 18 -- Looking Glass

The most irritating part about harvesting cockatrice eggs was remembering your left from your right in a mirror.

Day 20 -- Pumpkin

Some radjurn insisted that even at an excessive scale, the only way to determine if a pumpkin was ready for harvest was with a good knock.

Day 21 -- The Horde

First attempt at casting a "summon mount" spell was a swarming, slightly itchy success! Tally-ho!!

Day 22 -- Antlers

Male beetles were often cheaper to obtain than females due to the sheer impracticality of having a beast of burden with so many chitinous points to snag on every branch and vine it passed by (among other things).

Day 23 -- Dormant

Further north of Stag's Run, some communities of daurics were known to pass a portion of the winter via hibernation.

"...Now I'm SURE this is too much lace."
"Listen, I think the harvest pageant is stupid but no sister of mine is going to be an under-laced Pumpkin Queen."
