Re: The undeserving poor

I am relatively sure that you have a spelling error in the challenge. At least I think it should be "undeserving", not "underserving" (For me as a non-native speaker of English, I was puzzled for a while how to translate this word, or what it even means in context [xD] ) :con: Yé...

Re: Happy New Year!

:con: Yélian

Aleveai reconitiy! / Aleveai ilverquet!
I wish you a new year!

The first sentence refers to the Yélian calendar, where a year ends on Reconitiy 4 or July 8. The second sentence refers to the Gregorian calendar New Year, which ends on December 31, or Frostes 12.
