Grifix Lore Update #8 - Queen Ivy, The First Children, The Crystal Academy etc.
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by MysteriousShineI'll make this shorter Lore Update in order to clear some stuff that were left out in the past lore updates, and maybe also clarify some website stuff.
Queen ivy
She is the subject of many legends and stories amongst the Lost Tribe, but those are yet to be revealed to us. Today I shall only tell you about who she was...
Design by kazoowary, MidnightStar and MysteriousShine
Queen Ivy was a grifix from the Starfell Clan who used her special abilities to make the First Warriors approve of her. She could see sphirix, and wanted to rule the Tribe alone so she wouldn’t spoil her pure blood so she never chose a king.
She was a trickster and tricked the First Warriors into believing she'd be the best for the clan, but once she was in power, she tried to break off all the connections to the First Warriors and to lead the tribe into a better future, but was stopped doing so. In the fear of being betrayed/manipulated again, the First Warriors declared that no queen should ever rule again.
She was a dark spot in the history of the Starfell Clan, but secretly they all admire her. Maybe it is the silent wish for liberation of all grifix that made her name last through the ages, like a faint echo of a prayer for change.
The first children
Ever wondered what happened to the children of the First Warriors? Who were they?
Well the first warriors had two types of children: "legitimate" and "illegitimate" but they obviously didn't call them like that. The illegitimate children were simply... not theirs.
The First Warriors had a bunch of children who's parents were unknown. Some of the first warriors didn't want the others to know who they made a child with so they often asked Bluebell to apply a special lotion on the egg that made it absorb magic from all the grifix around it, and this way the child would take traits from everyone and be, biologically, a child of many. Not all the children on the First Warriors were like that though, but those who were were treated like they weren't anybody's child. Amongst those there was Mossy Peak, Nighttime, Moon Gemstone, Hena and others. The First Warriors used these children to their advantage, promissing to treat them better or reveal who their actual parents were in exchange for various things.
The crystal academy
I'll jump to some Frozen Empire lore now.
Like I mentioned before, the Crystal Empire is a university center in Equestria and contains records of knowledge that has been saved from before the Great Cataclysm.
The university from the Crystal Empire is called the Crystal Academy, and its libraries hold almost all the world's knowledge between their walls. It is only, perhaps, the Frozen Empire's library that hold more knowledge than this.
The Crystal Academy also regulates most of the trades in the Empire, including the trades with the Frozen Empire.
If you want one of your non-grifix characters to attend the Crystal Academy contact MysteriousShine. All sorts of creatures attend the academy so as long as it is not an original species it's likely they'll get accepted in the grifixverse like this :D
Site stuff
Lastly, some updates on website stuff:
- I added a link to download the grifixverse font in Navigation. The font is free to use BUT ONLY fir grifixverse related stuff. Please respect this, I worked a lot on this font. Get it here: GRIFIXVERSE-REGULAR.TTF
- I added the "achievements" prompt section. Usually just having one grifixverse character should assure you to complete at least three achievements. They are usually locked behind completeing other achievements, so there's a certain order you can complete them in. Just check whichever ones you have available: ACHIEVEMENTS (they offer rewards such as limited items, MYO Slots and Star Points or even coupons).
