Santa's Workshop

Santa's Workshop is the first of many Christmas-themed City Locations. The man in red himself is said to live here, and many Quests involve searching for clues on his disappearance. Toys are manufactured by elves on the upper floors of the shop, that remain unseen by the player.

When the location is played, the player is presumably looking from the front door, greeted by the icy canvas and warm fireplace one would expect from where Christmas gifts originate.

There are quite the number of quest's that go along with this location. They come from old events that didn't stay cases but became a series of quests instead.
