The Crystal Vynter

The Crystal Vynter is an honor bestowed to a Shadowbranch citizen who impacted the town’s wine industry. The actual vynter is a one-foot crystal-made wine glass with a gold rim and emerald vines wrapped around the base and body. The item is imbued with fey magic as it glows red in the presence of ripe grapes.
The person who earned the Crystal Vynter would have their name displayed on it for a year.

History

The Vynter was a gift to Shadowbranch from the fey nobleman, Mairu Pearfather in 30 AT. Pearfeather spent months in Shadowbranch, visiting each winery and vineyard. The nobleman enjoyed his stay so much, he wanted to bestow a gift to the people and created the Crystal Vynter.
With this gift, then-mayor Eli Retrabone decided to make it a symbol of Shadowbranch’s excellence in winemaking and sought to recognize an individual who went above and beyond for the town and its wine industry.
