The following changes, fixes, and additions were applied to Chaos and Order on 12.23.2008 as a part of the Gnomekindle event:

• FIX: Fixed to give the proper augmentation/debuff:
  • Crimson: Gold-etched Bracelet of the Crimson Scourge
  • Crimson: Platinum-etched Necklace of Scorn
  • Crimson: Gold-etched Ring of Vice
  • Crimson: Platinum-etched Bracelet of the Crimson Scourge
  • Crimson: Gold-etched Ring of Umbrage
  • Crimson: Gold-etched Earring of Ire
  • Crimson: Gold-etched Earring of Malice

• FIX: The Yew Shoulder Treant, Yew Dragon Shoulder Treant, and Cedar Dragon Shoulder Treant will no longer give a Heal-over-Time on equipping.
• FIX: Fixed the persistent actions on Sash in Kion that were causing simulation errors
• FIX: Fixed the persistent actions on Nell Multu in Mahagra that were causing simulation errors
• FIX: Corrected the required construction quantity for Radiant Essence Sources on the Tier 6 Human Library.
• FIX: Fixed the scribing requirements for Master Blighted Essence Orb, Essence Orb Cleansing and Essence Orb Enchanting formulas.
• FIX: Fixed the requirements on the new Primal/T&C quests to exclude bipeds.
• FIX: Alchemist Trainers now carry the Beginner Vial and Bottle Formula

• CHANGE: The Fall Festival has ended, but Gnomekindle has sparked once again in the area just outside New Rachival. Mayor Clause, Mrs. Clause, and everyone from Gnomekindle Town have returned with many new quests and a few surprises for this year's celebration.
• CHANGE: Modified the following simple items to use new icons: button, snail, rare bottlecaps (Special thanks to Xoshara for her hard work to make these icons and many of the other new ones found in Gnomekindle items)
• CHANGE: The items available from Gnomekindle Presents have been changed. There is some difference between tiers, but not as much as in previous years.
• CHANGE: In the "off season" the same gnomes who had researched how to make snow in the desert spent hours in their labs researching how to make Novian resources require less bulk. Unlike their snowmaking attempts, the work done on Novians has proven to be quite successful. So successful, in fact, that novian resources no longer require any bulk at all! Merry Gnomekindle!

• ADD: New emblems "AFK" and "LFG". Geoff the Pawnbroker sells them for a minimal fee.
• ADD: Files for biped plot banners (not festival related)
• ADD: Files for the Winter Festival plot banners and murals.
• ADD: Files for celestial robes.
• ADD: Files for the Winter Festival shorts.
• ADD: New quest lines to Loremaster Burl, Mayor Clause, Mrs. Clause and Yukon that will enable players to hunt for the proper tier of ornaments.
• ADD: Files for woodland headscale
• ADD: Formulas needed for making Banner Staff and Banner Cloth to Weaver trainers and Carpenter Trainers. For this year only, Hermey will also give the beginner formulas to any who do one of his quests. (Banner Days quests inspired by a story submitted by Awdz in 2007.)
• ADD: Quest to Kiva the Tailoring Trainer in Kion to provide a formula for this year's special Gnomekindle Clothing. Any biped may complete the quest.
• ADD: Quests to Mrs. Clause for dragons interested in this year's mask and a surprise on the side.

• ADD: The winning banner from the contest was inadvertently omitted from delta 156. This has been corrected. Lady Kendra will also give 4 Banner Patterns rather than 3 so that all the banners from this year can be completed should someone wish.
• ADD: Added a few banners to Kion for Banner Days.
• ADD: Added deer to Mrs Clause's "Deer Pen".

• CHANGE: Significantly increased the hoard value of Crimson Scourge jewelry (some items now have a hoard value for the first time)
• CHANGE: Crimson Scourge jewelry is now attuned-on-equip
• CHANGE: Blighted Radiant Essence will now drop from the Crimson Scourge as loot
• CHANGE: Crimson Scourge jewelry is now stackable

• FIX: Fixed a problem with Banner Day's quest so that it will work correctly from the first step now.
• FIX: Added constraint so that the Dragon Treats quests are given in the proper order now.
• FIX: How Gnomekindle Came to Be now ends as a quest.
• FIX: All Shoulder Treants now provide a stat buff only while equipped. (Correction from earlier patch notes)
• FIX: Fixed a problem with T5 "ornament" quests that was preventing some players from being able to get the quests.
• FIX: Corrected a problem with the "ornament" quests that were causing them to disable themselves. The restriction that you can only have one ornament dropping quest at a time still remains, but the quest should no longer disable itself.
• FIX: Fixed a problem with Kiva's Clothing quest so it will complete.
• FIX: Removed constraint from Mrs Clause's Hot Cocoa.
• FIX: Jewelry sets now have a coin value of 1 (they can now be consigned)
• FIX: Fixed skill problems with the Gnomekindle Festival Treats formula.
• FIX: Crimson Scourge jewelry now has a coin value of 1 (they can now be consigned)
• FIX: Crimson Scourge Mithril and Platinum jewelry was missing keywords and should now be able to be worn.

• FIX: Mithril and Platinum Crimson Scourge jewelry is now restricted to bipeds and level 60 or higher in either adventuring or crafting schools.
• FIX: Fixed a problem with Mohs, the diamond golem, being invisible and improved his appearance.
