Oh boy! I get so excited this time of year — fun, laughter, food, drinks, and presents!
I love seeing the excitement in the children’s eyes… oh dear, the children!
Christmas is almost upon us and I’ve prepared nothing for them. Mrs. Claus won’t be thrilled unless we pull together a festive surprise, fast.
But hey — I’m Santa! All we need is a cozy grotto and a magical guest or two. A flurry of snow here, a twinkle there… and perhaps a festive creature. Something from the far south… yes — a penguin!
Now, I realize an Apkallu isn’t exactly a snow native — we’ll fix that later. If you can convince an Apkallu to join me in the grotto it will bring music to my ears, the children will be delighted, and I’ll avoid the gentle wrath of Mrs. Claus. 😉
Your task: Convince an Apkallu to join you.
To do this, you must speak their language. Translate their sentence to reveal the Apkallu’s name.
Say the name aloud, and they’ll happily waddle along to the grotto. Didn’t take Apkallu Language at
Vana’university? No worries — this is a new derelict of the common beak, you'll have to start fresh and put your translation skills to work!

Tip: Use the table to translate the words, for any missing letters, try to guess the previous words to help fill in the gaps of the name.
Once submitting an answer, remeber to scroll down to reveal if you were correct.
Final step: Using letters from the five words you decoded, form the Apkallu’s festive name and submit it below!
