Christmas Valley

 

“HO! HO! HO! Gather ‘round! And let Jolly Old Saint Nicholas tell you about the your home. Elves, other beings, and I work to bring Joy, Love and Hope to children of the world. The Hearts of Christmas are both used to achieve what we need to keep the Spirit of Christmas high so Ancient Power survives!”

  Deep in The Artic Circle, all Ley Lines converge to form one of the most powerful locations in the Realm of Ancient Power. And it is for this reason that it is also aptly named as The North Pole or Polar North.   A realm of magic sits guarding this location. A realm who belongs to one of the Rulers/Guardians of Childhood.   That realm is the North Pole Kingdom of Christmastide, the legendary place of Santa’s Workshop/Village and home of the actual North Pole.   Two Hearts of Christmas lie in this valley. The Original Heart is known as Santa’s Toy Workshop Compound. The Second Heart is The Christmas Spirit and Magic City which replaced the toy workshop due to it being too small in space and in terms of population explosion in mankind.   Most who live here are The Mystical Family of Christmas Magic AKA The Mystical Christmas Beings Community AKA Christmas Beings Community. This entire community who protect and harness the power of the Christmas Spirit.   This land was first, and still is, home to all Winter Gods and Goddesses and their nymphs and fairies. Primordial God Father Winter leads this group. However, they allow Nicholas to stay as Father Winter feels like this was meant to be. And all obey him.  

Valley’s Location

The valley lies at True North where the actual North Pole stands. From the perspective of powerful locations in the realm of AEP, The Poles are two places where the Ley Lines converge and Ancient Power is very strong.   In the olden days of Ancient Power, it could be strongly felt and used here. This protection “spell” is deliberate as attacks could happen without it. This is something that was decreed long ago. Thus, Christmas Valley and other locations of Ancient Power are not on maps made by mortals until after Magic is returned.   Another question many ask is who lives in the valley. The Clauses, Father Winter, two pastors, elves, polar bears, yetis, and reindeer (flying and non-flying). Others that may be here are Amerigo and his descendants (Nicholas's White Steed), descendants of the original animals from the Birth of Jesus, and other horses, zebras, and animals that can haul things in wagons or sleighs. They live in a small community called Equineville.  

Entering and Exiting Valley of Christmas

The valley can be entered or exited in two ways. Neither is on foot until magic returns. However, nobody really comes thhis far north except the local Eskimo/Inuit/whatever population.   The most known way is to fly a sleigh through the dome surrounding the entire valley. Also the fastest way for many people. Santa allows them to pass through the barrier.   For the highest and most trusted of mystical beings, they can orb/teleport into the valley. Gods, Mystical Elders and Guardians are the only ones who have this ability.   However, this valley is hidden and under a protection “spell”. The entrance remains unseen and unpassable until a powerful being (Guardian or God) wields it so.   The hidden entrance helps Santa avoid unwarranted visitors or Dark Power from destroying the Light.   The limiting of how people can get here also helps.   Everything is relaxed when Magic returns.   Visitors are only allowed upon permission from the congress but the nine are the usual exceptions to this rule. They can always pass freely.   The secret tunnels/corridors are underneath the entire valley (Santa's Toy Factory Compound and Center of Christmas Spirit and Magic City). There’s passageways from Toy Workshop to City and also these two to Christmas Mystics Land.   The tunnels are six and a half feet tall. Tall enough for Humans and for the Rulers. These tunnels run in the ice for miles all underneath the valley.   The tunnels were originally under Santa’s Toy Factory/The First Heart of Christmas. Then they moved under North Pole City. And then beneath both hearts. All three places up north have passageways between them.   Most of these are pretty known to all elves.   The weather often is trouble up here. Every elf and creature stays safe by using the tunnels when it is too bad. Some even don’t go outside.   Reindeer and polar bears are often seen pulling sleighs not steered by the elves. In tunnels meant for sleighs, they can pull the wagon sleighs with toys in them. Christmas Preparations still go on no matter the weather.   There are signs pointing to wherever they need to go.  

North Pole Workshop/Santa’s Workshop/Christmas Town

Santa’s Factory has tunnels that go to the Elf Dormitories, or the Workshop, or the Stables and the sleigh barn. Trapdoors or hidden doors are often under carpets or part of the wall. Hollow walls are usually made so that the reindeer can safely store toys in the storage barns. The whole operation is able to move during a snowstorm. Sometimes, they are used if something was clandestine.  

North Pole City or Northpole

A series of tunnels lead from each elfin housing to all buildings in Christmas Town Central District. There is also a tunnel from the reindeer and sleigh barns. Claus Palace has tunnels into all buildings in Christmas Town Central District, the barns, and the office. The tunnels might extend to the church.   While the Rulers don’t need tunnels, they sometimes use them.
