What's up next for the world of Azorna? We have two upcoming events lined up for the next few months.

First, later in April we'll be hosting a Design a Location contest to help fill out more regions and help get these out to more players.  Along with that, it looks like Blessie and Art will be donating their unique marks to the other species finally, and two new Festive Starters will be added to extend this markings into the game gene pool finally.

Next May will roll in a small event to introduce an item to swap Monthly Holidays between the two options, allowing players to adjust older genos and Imports bred before both were available. This will  include some prompts

/ End of No joke Zone.

After the gift giving and soft moments between friends, family and partners has started to fade, Cupid ever the match maker and builder of connections wanted to keep things going with a little give away from everyone to get in on, including some of the site’s other Starters will be donating some very interesting items with some bonuses.

Players may donate up to 3 times to the event, and can donate either Items, which may be stacked up to x10 (I.e a stack of 10 Iron Ore), or Genos.

To enter:

1. Submit a single claim with all three donations listed out, and attach any items being donated to the Claim.
2. For Genos, after approval of your Claim, then transfer the Geno to the Lorekeeper admin account.

Even will be open to donations until March 18^th.  After that staff will count donations to see what extras will be added, so makes sure to give some more rare and hard to get items, to help boost the gift pool for everyone! Around March 20^th, randomized swaps will be sent out, and everyone can enjoy their new prizes.

For those that didn't get enough from the last sale, there still room for more goodies with the end of year Candy Shop. This post will be open until Jan 1st, giving everyone time to trade Candy and get orders in.

To turn in Candy, submit a Claim with the needed amount and either attach the items you want or, for non-item based treats, just list want you want and it will be approved by staff.

Up for offer this year are the following:

1 Candy:

• Common Item Roll
• 500 Kouneen

2 Candy:

• Choice of one Common gathering Item
• Random Food Plate Item

5 Candy:

• Rare Item Roll
• 2 TP

10 Candy:

• Blue Azoth

Days have passed, and a few members of the Survey team return from their tip higher into the mountains, along with the newly discovered Balikin, Hinsira who seems a little surprised to see some familiar faces from his own species among the strangers that stumbled into the local nesting grounds.

After a hearty meal and some discussion, Sootrot lays bare the reason for the visit to this distant land. Him and his companions need to check the status of the land's Guardian, as they fear changes in their own homeland might spread beyond there if not studied and controlled. Hinsira gives a sullen nod, telling the group to gather Glass Stones before asking Moorlani to open the path to their Guardian in the volcano, it's part of the needed ritual, but shouldn't take long. The Bailin directs the group to check the beaches of the Frozen Sea, Glass Stones are everywhere, if everyone leans a paw or wing they should have enough to open the pathway in no time.

--------

The Final Step of the Stygian Waste is now open, gather up the needed Glass Stones to help start the ritual to meet this mysterious Guardian by using the Prompt here, there are once again two options to help out.

This step is using the site's Event Currency to finish, once full the story will advance, the Stygian Waste will open up as a general Gathering Region, and character may pick it as their Homeland.

Voltlund, home to the great studium of all future Alchemist and other students of the magic world, and well renown for the commendations they offer to their passing graduates. Come April, the grand revealing of intense studies of the last year students are put on display for the city to interact with and enjoy. From new medical advancements to useful illusions for art and story telling, but this year the buzz is all about..

Tokens.

Newly Found Tokens, or abbreviated to NFTs. Perrion, one of the final year students is set to reveal his creations to the world, small Familiars with rather volatile powers, and a collectable nature. The press can read his thesis paper on these newly created chimeras here. (Business opportunities will be available following the festival for those looking to invest!)

With all the early hype, it seems some extra help is needed to run the NFT booth this year. Some requested positions are now open here.

By helping out, players will get access to the following:

• By completing 1 prompt, ticket to the MYO Random Token Raffle
• 2 Prompts, ticket to the MYO Random Token Raffle AND the Custom Token Raffle.
• All 3, 2 Tickets to both Raffles.

Prompts can be submitted up until May 13^th, Raffles will be rolled shortly afterward.

Tokens are real Familiars, with unique powers and random designs. What animals , Element and Skill focus you get will be random, with the exceptions of Custom ones, which will let players pick their three animals, Element and Skill focus.

Get your pencils ready, and open your imagination, it's time to let players design new Traits for the game!

Both artists and writers are welcome to join the fun, you don't need to design the trait, just describe it to count as an entry. Players may submit up to 3 entries total, and can win for multiple categories. Designs will be put to public voting to pick winners. In the case of voting ties, players who have NOT won a Trait yet will be picked.

Kirunhound, Popokee, and Balikin are all open for Trait submissions.

Kirunhound and Popokee entries will be available after the contest, but Balikin Trait winners will be added after the story event to allow everyone equal chance on rolling their first Balikin egg.
