History
The Winter Solstice monument is located on the right hand side of Blizzard Blades.
Winter I — 2004-05-08, Midnight Armada won the first blockade of Winter, which was uncontested.
Winter II — 2004-06-03, Winter was used as the staging ground for the trial of Artemis; the blockade was halted after three rounds. Jobbers for Vilya, who helped Midnight Armada defend the island, received an unheard of sum of about 11,000 PoE per round. This was the last major blockade where Vilya jobbed players to the Dread Ringers crew; jobbers henceforth were jobbed to the Heroes of the Gods or Fools of the Gods crews.
Winter III — 2004-09-17, Alt flags Buri Armada and Nidiata Dei Buri dropped war chests on Winter, Oyster Island, and Park Island. All were easily defended.
Winter IV — 2006-06-10, Midnight Armada successfully defended the island against contenders Notorious Fandango.
Winter V — 2006-07-22, Midnight Armada encouraged other flags to give the island a new owner, and so they did not defend. Caper's Capers win the island in a 4 round blockade against the only other contender, Klingon Empire.
Winter VI — 2006-09-17, Black Sheep Brigade dropped a warchest onto Winter Solstice. Caper's Capers defended the island in a 3 round non -sinking blockade.
Winter VII — 2007-03-18, The Wrath of Neptune dropped a warchest onto Winter Solstice. Don't Panic dropped a warchest after The Wrath of Neptune did, but before the blockade had started. Don't Panic swept the blockade in three rounds in a non-sinking blockade.
Winter VIII — 2007-04-08, Don't Panic awarded control of Winter Solstice to Klingon Empire for winning the first "Royal Rumble" event.
Winter IX — 2007-07-15, Chthonic Horde under Barnabas the Pale defeated Klingon Empire 3 rounds to 2.
Winter X — 2007-07-22, Tyr's Own attacked and lost 3 rounds to 1 after pulling out at round 3.
Winter XI — 2007-12-02, Killer Watermelons defeated Barnabas 3 rounds to 1.
Winter XII — 2008-03-02, Spirit of the Game defeated Killer Watermelons 3 nil.
