| The Clan of F.A.E.R.I.E., each year, holds one very special Closed Gathering for their members. Games are played, contests and raffles are held. A Yule Lord is named who 'presides' over the festivities. The Clan votes on various issues & awards are given to the winners. This, the Yule Gathering, celebrates the kithship of the group and strengthens the ties of the clan. |

| Images from the 4th Yule Gathering held January 8th, 2000 at Ailm's Gate. |
 |
| Every Yule Gathering is lit by the Yule Tree. Beneath this tree the members can leave gifts for other members if they choose. Many of the awards & raffle baskets are also placed beneath the yule tree's boughs. |
 |
| After much searching, the cait sidhe Luna Llewellyn finds a basket of food & wine under one of the Holding's Guardian Spruce's. |
 |
| Luna shows the hobbit Jasper Hearthhugger her discovery. As he looks inside he finds a scroll with runes on it. |
 |
| Jasper & the Wood Hob Ravenwolf investigate the area where Luna discovered the basket. |
 |
| Jasper Hearthhugger & Ravenwolf, with the help of the rest of the clan, attempt to decipher the meaning of the Runes. |
 |
| It is discovered that the runes were written in Dwarven 'common'. Jasper reads the scroll which tells of a pact that the dwarves wish to continue with Ailm's Gate. It also tells of the gifts inside the basket left for all to celebrate yuletide. |
 |
| Ravenwolf tries to avoid the 'smelly orc armband' that Zandelle Vath Dragonfire had brought to show the clan. Zandelle had discovered the armband after a goblin raid on a neighboring village. |
 |
| The faun Zeyth Nightbringer models his holiday finery that he purchased on his trip to the town of Calire. |
 |
| Zandelle welcomes the very tired (she had a long way to fly from the F.A.L.O. realm) sprite Emberon to the Yule Gathering. Emberon is one of the 2 Findara A Corri to the Clan and is very welcome in Ailm's Gate. |
 |
| Jasper & Zandelle share tales & laughter over a game of chess. |
 |
| The Yule Lord Cait Sidhe is not amused. |
 |
| Luna Llewellyn is named the Yule Lord of the Gathering. |
 |
| None in the Clan have any idea what this shared outburst was about. Ideas? |
 |
| Emberon & friend uses the Yule Lord as a comfy chair & shows all her yule gift. |
 |
| Ravenwolf holds the winter cup during the "Passing of the Cup". |
 |
| Emberon tries to teach an 'new Wood Hob' an old trick. |
 |
| "Good, Ravenwolf." |
