HarvestonSledathon

In the Harveston Sledathon, Epel Felmier invites you, Grim, and fellow students Sebek, Idia, and Jade to his rural hometown for its annual Kelkkarotu, a traditional winter race on Mount Moln that honors a legend of animals saving a young lady in distress. To participate, the students must craft magical stuffed animals from patchwork fabric and imbuing them with magic to pull their sleds through a grueling, all-night course. Throughout the event, the "Applepom" team navigates treacherous terrain, including a daring jump over a ravine after Sebek is nearly lost following a collision, and faces off against rival students from Royal Sword Academy. Although the NRC team ultimately loses the race when Epel's plushie sustains damage just meters from the finish line, the experience allows the students to bond over local apple-themed traditions and earns them the respect of Epel's formidable grandmother, Marja.
