Hello and welcome to the 10th lore update!! The first lore update has been done on 08/27/20, so it's been... exactly 800 days? That's funny. A bit over two years, but I didn't expect it to be such a fun number of days XD

Anyway, I asked all the species members to submit random ideas for this special edition lore update on Discord. All the information will be added in this post and all the people who submitted will receive a special limited item:

OLD DRAGON NECKLACE

Category: Event items

Rarity: ✦✦✦✦✦

 

You found this item in the forest, close to the village. You wore it once and thought of something, which then seemed to... become reality. But that only happened once, now the necklace is useless to you. 
You wonder who it belonged to? Does it really have supernatural powers? If so, why can they only be used once?

Uses: Collectible

Source: Given as a reward to users who submitted ideas for the 10th lore update

So, let's begin!

✦ The same way the Frillback Pigeons came to be through selective breeding, something similar happened to the Starfell Clan. It is quite common that the Starfell Grifix have feather fluffs that look this way.

✦ There are some rare vegetables that actually grow in the snowy biome of the Frozen Empire. They are extremely rare. The grifix love them.

✦ Some gems are prominent in the Frozen Empire: amber, seraphinite, and Dendrite Quarts. Amber is used as the symbol of the Frozen Empire since it represents warmness in the freezing cold.

 

✦ The Grifix in the Frozen Empire are much fluffier and have more feathers especially around the wings since they have adapted to the cold weather over time. They also can have insulated feathers (instead of fluffy feathers they have insulated feathers and fur that allows them to keep their heat in the cold weather).

 

✦ Shaped Freckles: this is a new trait category which will allow some sort of freckles customisation. However, it will be locked behind this item that you will have to purchase from Wolfsbane's Store. Some shapes will be locked behind special events.

SUN STAINED BRUSH

Category: Collectibles

Rarity: ✦✦✦✦✦

 

This old brush seems to do more than manipulate paint... Selenara told you it belonged to her predecessor, Queen Rosa.

Uses: Unlocks usage of Freckles Shape traits

Purchaseable At: Wolfsbane’s Store

✦ Everfree Village grifix parents tell little myths to their cubs to make them behave, or just have fun seeing them get excited over the information and spreading it around: "If you (inset action) at (location or infront of a random item) during (time), you will be (insert effect which is totally not real, but kids trust it anyways because they are kids)." These are often influenced by the Queen who is reigning at that time. Back in Eclipsa's reign this myth was similar to "standing infront of a lake during an eclipse will make you trip thrice in a row". But there were also myths like "helping with the harvest while wearing a flower on their head during the Great Harvest Holiday will bring you good luck", so that kids can be tricked into helping. In the future, these types of rumours help shape their personality, discipline, etc. The myths are different from family to family, but it also happens that the cubs tell them to eachother and they spread around the Village. Sometimes two different versions of a myth appear and cubs start fighting over which is the true one.

✦ There is a common tradition that if parents place a egg looking rock or object near their egg, it will protect the egg to not be eaten by predators. This variation of Rumours varies in different locations.

The origin of this story is old, from back in the Old Kingdom, when grifix were slightly more exposed to predators and started placing egg shaped rocks near nests to distract them. As grifix settlements evolved, the tradition lost it's original meaning in some places, and changed more to some sort of superstition.

The Divided grifix will Surround their egg with a lot of rocks, almost making some sort of rock bed.

Lost Tribe grifix place moss and leaves on top of the egg to make it in with the surroundings.

Everfree Village grifix place a painted rock near the egg, decorated with the same patterns the egg has. they say they do this to fool the evil spirits that might want to harm the cub inside, so that the evil spirits will attack the rock instead. When the grifix born reaches adulthood through the Sphirix Shape Ceremony, they take the rock that was placed near their egg outside and break it.

JOKE PLANT LANTERN

Category: Collectibles

Rarity: ✦✦✦

 

Dangerous is this plant to the Grifix species. Because of a certain hair growing event,  the grifix cubs are warned to avoid plants like this.
This lantern has multiple purposes: to be of a thing to fear, or serve as a good light source. 
Still, what is it doing here if it is so dangerous? Is that glass really enough to protect you from it's influence?

Uses: Collectible

Purchaseable At: Wolfsbane’s Store

This was all for the 10th lore update, our first milestone! Should we hold events like these every 10 lore updates, or have bigger milestones? It did take us over 2 years to get here, so I think 10 posts is enough.

Either way, see you next time and hope we will reach 20!
