Description
December 1730: I arrived in Dresden at the order of King Augustus II the Strong, having been successful at tracking down and dispatching Kallikantzaroi in the Greek Isles the year before, I suddenly found myself much in demand, but my discovery of what they were was not without its pitfalls. Before my time, it was assumed that Kallikantzaroi were goblins who descended upon cities to wreak havoc during the celebration of Christenmas, but after several bloody decapitations, I was horrified to learn that they were children of the Indole Gentile.
Kallikantzaroi are rare among the Indole Gentile and appear to manifest during pubertas, lasting about 12 days and linked somehow to the bruma.

Now, knowing I was dealing with children, I put away my sword and worked feverishly to discover something that would stop them. King Augustus, however, had found the answer for me. By chance, his mother discovered the Kallikantzaroi were insatiably drawn to sweet cakes. The king ordered the royal baker to create the first stollen, a German sweet cake made with candied fruit. It stood 7 cubits high and weighed 6 stone.

As strange as it sounds, when they overindulge, it renders the Kallikantzaroi harmless, returning them for good to their natural state once the sun comes up.
