==Walkthrough==
===Starting out===
To begin, talk to the elf near the [[Well of Goodwill]] at [[home]]. They will inform you that the entire north pole is distress as the holidays are approaching but Santa is nowhere to be found, however since they are only a small cog in the Santa's operation they advise you to speak to the head elf instead.


After Santa's elf teleports you to the crash site where Santa's sled was last seen, the head elf fills you in on the situation and, since you weren't on Santa's naughty list, they trust you to assist in the search and rescue operation.


Start by searching whatever you can find near the crash site, at the north-eastern side there will be a couple of crates near the hole. In here you will find your first clue.

Each clue is an item that points towards a specific NPC or location, after talking to the correct person they will tell you where they have last seen Santa Claus. At these locations you should search for additional clues (tiny Christmas trees), each clue will bring you slightly closer towards Santa, until..


You finally discover a lair under one of the Christmas trees, travelling deeper into them you discover Santa himself, however he seems rather.. intoxicated. Return to the head elf for advice, they will provide you with a Hangover cure that you can use to sober Santa up.


As Santa sobers up and you are about to leave, the real culprit appears: Anti-Santa! They are not planning on letting Santa, or you, leave at this point and a violent battle follows.

After defeating them you can now finally leave and return to the north pole, where all of Santa's elves await your arrivel.

===Item clues===
Each item redirects you to a specific person or location. Which clues you get assigned (and what order) is random for everyone.
