— Vehicle Description

Dawning Cheer is an Exotic Sparrow introduced in in Season of the Forge ^[1] for The Dawning. It was originally acquired by completing specific activities during The Dawning 2018. In The Dawning 2021, it was obtainable with Glimmer and Legendary Shards^[2].

Lore

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

SOME TRADITIONS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

"What is that?"

Grinning, Kasim stood back to let the kids get a better look at his Sparrow. "It's Kringle's sleigh."

"Who's that?" barked Runa. At eleven, she was the oldest of the group.

"Mr. Kringle," said Kasim, who had been reading all about pre-Collapse traditions. "Every Dawning, Kringle visits the good children of the City. He comes at night, while you're asleep, and leaves presents in your house."

"But the door's locked because of prowlers," Tomas said.

"He slithers down the chimney," Kasim said. Or was it 'slides'?

"How does he fit?" asked Matsuko, the youngest.

"Well." Kasim hesitated. "He's magic…"

"So he's a Guardian," Runa said.

"No, he's not a Guardian."

The children exchanged looks and erupted into nervous chatter.

"If there's a fire in the fireplace, can he still get in?" Tomas asked, alarmed.

"He can't get hurt by the fire." Kasim was losing steam. "Listen. He—"

"He's immune to fire," Runa said gravely.

Matsuko started to cry. Tomas kicked the Sparrow. "Hey!" Kasim said. "Listen! He's not real, OK? Kringle's not real. He's made up." He moved the Sparrow away. "Just… forget I said anything."

Runa watched Kasim go. "Don't worry," she told Matsuko. "Lord Shaxx will stop Kringle."

Trivia

The name "Kringle" in the lore tab refers to "Kris Kringle", an alternative name for Santa Claus.^[3]
