With family and friends in the forest of Gleigh, wee Mister Cumphobiecack chose to decree.... Ostara would be a fantabulous fest to celebrate all of by which they'd been blessed. The equinox ushered in beauties of spring... and all of the joys this sweet season could bring. 'Twas also the time of the Leprechaun's Ball, which is secretly held 'hind a charmed waterfall. Never before has a Glumpet been asked....

It was in the twilight of Christmas Eve, 1867, when Cyrus Fernsby first caught sight of the tapering square towered lighthouse on Wraith Rock from the large rowing boat which was conveying him to, what was intended to be, a short term keeper posting. As it emerged with evermore clarity from within the Atlantic sea mist, and the spray of the crashing waves which embraced it, an inexplicable and undeniable sense of foreboding began to seize and permeate the innermost reaches of his soul.
