Did you hear the news? Starlight bells are ringing and a brand new outfit has hit the stores - the Far Northern Attire, complete with tunic, gloves, bottoms, and boots. And a headpiece....

Heyo!! Lopp here and I have a big surprise for you all! If you read the title and clicked in, you probably can already guess, but this is what I have been gone for the past week!...
