I haven't introduced myself for the past 3 years since I first appeared on this game in 2017. You may consider me who I am as a helper, guide, or a good friend. So, let me introduce myself and my story (in 3rd person).
This is Widmung, he is one of the 3 deer owned and operated by Jeweleye, who himself has been playing this game for the past 14 years. Widmung is the German word meaning "Dedication." Certainly, he is based on the beautiful piano composition and lieder (The first song cycle of "Myrthen" Liebesleid S.566 Opus 25 No. 1) of the same name written by the Romantic Era composers Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt. Usually, you see him meditating in the sunlit mushroom circle overlooking the pond and bridge. Occasionally, he likes to greet curious and friendly players who come to meet him in his circle. Despite his eternal age, Widmung has a pure soul in his heart. He looks scary to others, but he is very sweet, gentle, and calm. Widmung trusts players that welcome him into societies, gatherings, or events. Sometimes, when Widmung sees new "unique" 5th-generation player pictograms that appear in the forest, he's on a mission. He likes to give flowers to new players (mostly fawns) so that they will keep their flowers if they like to. Eventually, when he seeks players who need help with their appearance, Widmung can help them to become amazing characters. Widmung is considered to be a guide to the forest, he will show the resources on how to get pelts, antlers, and masks, to new developing players who come here in this game. On holidays like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas, Widmung enjoys bringing candles from the playground to everyone in the forest, he brings them as a gift. He doesn't care if they like it or not. He always bows and treats the players with respect. Widmung is a very kind, loyal, wise, helpful, playful, and respectful player to others. Mostly, in the afternoon or evening, you see him occasionally in the game but sometimes, he has other stuff more important to do.
The 35 pictures of fine art (shown above) tell the story of Widmung's life. (Four of the images are with my deer avatar, Jeweleye.) His best friends, in most of the images, appreciated him for keeping company and for helping them to have unique sets of forest magic.

I have an update to
Widmung is planning on to spread the Holiday tradition of giving candles to all the players in the game on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day. However, In the real world, I am going to be really busy with my family this Christmas week.
I am asking to all of you that if I'm not in the game or if you see me sleeping, I would like someone that can be a volunteer of giving candles to the new players (usually fawns) who are running around with unique pictograms.
This is for spreading the holiday tradition of giving candles as presents to the new members of the game. I have done this since 2017.
I hope all of you are enjoying your Christmas break. I'll try to participate in the game on Christmas Eve to bring presents and to bring laughter and joy.
Enjoy the holidays and I'll see you soon!

Hello! I'll be able to play
I'll be able to play around Christmas Eve and Christmas day for at least a couple of hours, so I promise to try my best to give out candles to any new players I see!
See you soon in The Forest!

Hey Widmung, hey
bringing candles to new player is so so nice from you; such a lovely and allways amazing idea!!
I love you for doing this to others without expect something as a thank. (poor word but I hope you understand what I want to say).
It is so terrific to have people like you here in the forest!
Hey Widmung, I forgot
I forgot something to tell.
I really hope Cu will be able to get on your "christmas picture" for your gallery (I assume that you will take funny pictures of us).
I was mostly in forest when you take this fantastic pintures but Cu was allways there before or after you take the pictures.
maybe he will gets a chance this year, lol
Cu, I will try to take
I will try to take pictures and enhance them with a group shot of us. It is possible to make a third "Weihnachten Stimmungsbilder" (Christmas Mood Pictures) in my gallery series. I hope you can be in it too!
This was from last year Christmas 2023.

Good evening Widmung I'm
I'm very happy to read that you will continue your every-year tradition of giving candles for everyone, specially new players and fawns, I love it ^^
Sadly I won't be able to be very active in the game, and since I won't be home during this event (I will spend the Christmas at my parents house) that I won't be able to give candles. I will try to bring my laptop with me and then put Ferne sleep in the forest, but can't run around that much, since I will be spending my time with my family.
Hopefully we could make some cuddle pile in the forest where everyone can join whenever they feel like so share the warmth and to remember those who are not with us anymore.
Also I can't wait to see if you gonna take screenshots in the forest ^^ I have always enjoyed to see your screenshots, they looks very nostalgic and brings good memories.
Hope to see you in the forest during the Christmas day!

Hello Fernelescent, Thank
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I will look for you and sit a while. (Widmung loves cuddle piles) I plan on taking screenshots and will post them.
Have a wonderful Christmas and I'll see you again soon!

It appeared that on Christmas
It appeared that on Christmas Eve, The Forest didn't change its atmosphere. There was no snow falling from the sky and there were no candles at all.
It looks like that my plan for the Candle Run has been cancelled.
I hope everything will change on Christmas Day.
I wish all of you best a Merry Christmas!
God Bless all of you!

Thank you, Saater. The
I think that this is why The Forest didn't change to its Christmas atmosphere. According to Michael Samyn, one of the creators of the game, he posted a "Merry Christmas" message back in 2023.
Michael said in his post; "Nevertheless this is going to be the last Christmas in the current version of the game." Possibly the creators are focusing on the remake version of TEF.
Thank you again for the playtime!

Beautiful artwork, Saater!
I really appreciate your amazing artwork and your talent! I'm always looking forward for the playtime with Saater and Eris, alas that my time is limited now. Too busy in the real world.
I wish you all the best and I hope that I can spend more time with your company.
See you real soon!

I'm sorry for drawing Widmung
The screenshots turned out enchanting, like an old photo. I hope to see you again in the Forest.

Saater, I understand how you
I understand how you feel. Don't feel sorry for your artwork, I love it! Widmung is not a monster, he is a pure soul that brings everyone happiness.
Please understand that I'm taking 5 classes this spring semester, I have numerous homework to do and I have to focus on them.
I'll see you again in the forest if I have the time.
Signature by Saater
I understand. I am sorry.
Signature by Fernelescent
Saater, There's no need to
There's no need to apologize, I don't want you to feel bad for yourself. There's nothing wrong with what you wrote. I accept that. Its just the way life is for me in the real world. I get depressed too if I don't do well with one of my classes, we just have to accept changes through life. Whatever you can do with your artwork and your stories to inspire others, I'm very proud of you Saater.
I will try to be in the game if I can get a chance of free time and I hope to see you again if possible.
