Winter Event/Presents
Overview
During Winter Events, Presents appear throughout Paragon City, the Rogue Isles, and Praetoria; courtesy of Gamester.
Presents are interactable objects (Glowies) that spawn in city and pvp zones (excluding Night Ward and Recluse's Victory) throughout the annual Winter Event. When interacted with, the character will either be judged 'Nice' and be rewarded with Candy Cane's, Inspirations, and Temporary Powers; or 'Naughty' and ambushed by Winter Horde, or even the Winter Lord when opened by a large enough team.
Present Opening

Nice results will be rewarded with one of the following:
- A Build Snow Beast temporary power and Candy Cane Salvage

Naughty

Historical
- In Winter Event 2009, the defeated Winter Lord would leave behind a large clickable present that would transport characters to Lord Winter's Realm. This was removed in Winter Event 2011, when Lord Winter's Realm was added to the Team Up Teleporter.
