Habapi Ruins Restoration: Lar CANTIO

Historic Era (past) / Loss of Magic Era (current) / Reacquirement of Magic (restored)

New Prompts: Rewards & Magic!

As a reminder, exploration prompts must be done before restoration prompts!

With the ruins mostly explored, it is now time to work on restoring them to a state of use once again. There is one new area with both an exploration and restoration prompt for Creta magic! Completing the Creta prompts will result in your habapi earning a creta pot and creta chalk.

The creta pot canonically allows your habapi to create a kilnkin, but can also be used as subspace storage, allowing for limitless items to be transported and kept near.

The creta chalk allows your habapi to do creta animation magic by drawing on a surface or in the air. The magic allows the habapi to animate inanimate objects.

Discovery: Forgotten Workshop

A thick layer of white dust covers the broken tables and chalk boards. Light and plants spill in through the cracked ceiling of the open room. On one side, what seems to be kilns are lined up, though no longer functional. On the other side broken cabinets with tools, and habapi records. There are many jars and barrels that used to hold various powders, now tipped over and mostly empty.

The Forgotten Workshop First Excursion and Restoration prompts are now available! These prompts are associated with Creta magic.

Discovery: Magic

As your habapi completes exploration and restoration prompts, they can earn magic which can be used in Beast Trials! Habapi will get their own special beast box. A new Beast Trial is coming in July, so hone your magic skills now!

Explore Again and Again!

Ruins prompts are now available to be repeated with the same or different habapi. If doing the prompt again you may exchange your UNOPENED record for a random crafting rune by sending the record attached to a claim.

Set your Habapi's Location to Home!

Lar Cantio has been added as a location, which you can now set in your Habapi's profile!

New Traits

A habapi with  Prismatic + Extra traits.

New craftable habapi traits include Glowing, Prismatic, and Extra.

Glowing: Creates a glowing appearance. One potion covers either Horns + Hooves OR fur markings (however, the design can have JUST glowing horns and not hooves or vice-versa).

Prismatic: Creates a prismatic appearance to the horns or hooves. The horns and/or hooves appear to be translucent crystal; may be tinted with a bit of color. When they catch the sunlight, these parts can give off rays of rainbow just like real crystals. (those who use CSP can see clip studios asset shop for prism brushes). One potion covers Horns + Hooves however, the design can have JUST prismatic horns and not hooves or vice-versa).

Extra: Lengthens horns, ears, tails, or mane. One potion applies to one area; i.e. one potion would apply only to the tail and you'd need an additional potion for  longer ears).

Habapi Fluff: The habapi has extra fur. This can appear somewhere on the body such as elbows, fetlocks, rump, eartips, chin, etc.

Kilnkin and Runebits

Kilnkin are companions made of clay using creta (animation) magic. They automatically gather a randomly generated amount of runebits daily, with a very rare chance of finding a whole rune. Obtain a kilnkin for your Habapi by crafting kilnkin schematics. Send the kilnkin schematics in as a claim, with your character attached, and your character will be provided their kilnkin which will drop daily runebits. See Rahowla's profile for an example.

HOW TO GET A KILNKIN:

• Complete the exploration prompt (one prompt total) for The Forgotten Workshop to get a Creta pot recipe
• Complete exploration and restoration prompt (two prompts total) for either Old Grove, Cracked Tower, Twin Springs, or Underground Forges to recieve a kilnkin heart
• Craft kilnkin schematics
• Send kilnkin schematics in as a claim with the appropriate character attached and a moderator will award your character the kilnkin.

Jungle Trader

A new shop has appeared! Baruna the habapi will trade you whole runes in exchange for your runebits. This new shop is permanent.

New Lore

Archivist Tamossa activating a record to read the information inside.

• Habapi naming convention has been rediscoverd! The convention is (x)a(nature feature)a. For example: Tamossa (moss). Baruna (rune). Rahowla (howl). Faflora (flower). Please use this naming convention for your characters only if you want to; it is provided as a fun lore element and is not required! Habapi were separated from their records and culture for some time and may have picked up any variety of names along the way, and may choose to pick naming conventions from Bep or Human culture now too.
• Kilnkin are all made with a Kilnkin Heart which is also made of fired clay. Though they do not speak and are not sentient, the clay heart rattles around inside of them, sounding like a ceramic bell, providing them a sort of voice or song.
• Habapi records float between the front paws/hands and project the image in front of the user. Habapi writing is in a spiral. Records may contain any kind of information and commonly contain recipes.
• MORE! See the Habapi species page.

Site Fixes/Updates

• We're excited to announce that character pages now feature inventory items and character awards!
• The character (letter) limit has also been increased on character links but should still remain at 300 characters or below; there is now a text line warning about this. You will still get a 500 error if you put too much text!
• Encyclopedia pages for Accessory Categories and Award Categories now have image icons.
• The aitielkh shop will now only be available during Month of the Aiti (January) annually. Aiti rare trait potions have a new home in the general shop.

Changes to Shaped Marking

Shaped marking is now a restricted trait, but you'll only need one potion to cover much more than the rare potion covered. The single marking may now have multiple elements to it such as a skeleton/spine marking within reason; if the marking covers more than 1/2 of the body, it will require an additional trait potion. Read more on the encyclopedia entry. The potion for this item is available in the CG shop for the forseeable future.

MOON & STAR MARK

In lieu of Shaped Marking changing to a restricted trait, we still wanted some more commonly used "shaped" markings to be available as heritable traits, so we created Moon Mark and Star Mark (for both beps and sonos)!

Moon Mark: A secondary marking. A single moon-like mark anywhere on the body other than the mane. Can be any moon phase; can be light or dark.
Max 3 moon markings per design; each requiring a rare trait potion. This marking is not symmetrical meaning if it is on the left flank, it does not automatically appear on the right flank on the other side.

Star Mark: A secondary marking. A single star-like mark anywhere on the body other than the mane. Can be a 5-point or 4-point star; can be light or dark.
Max 3 star markings per design; each requiring a rare trait potion. This marking is not symmetrical meaning if it is on the left flank, it does not automatically appear on the right flank on the other side.

Other New Bep Traits

A few more heritable traits were added: Bloom, Blaze, and Tassel! You can read more about them in the Encyclopedia.
