It's the time of year where Habapi celebrate the long days and plentiful food in the Matsana Jungle! Meridias is honored with food offerings and the habapi decorate her with all kinds of jungle flowers, joining her at the crystal for bonfires, music, and dancing.

In Lar Cantio, habapi play games to win vouchers for festival items, and some paths are lined with booths selling these foods and other goods.

Long Suffering Meridias is honored throughout the year, but especially during festivals, as is her right as the protector of the Habapi and their way of life.

New Habapi Foods

We've added a bunch of new habapi foods to the FLORA and FAUNA section of WORLD! You can see them here, or:

New Habapi "Companions"

Habapi are unlikely to keep living things as pets/companions. Many jungle creatures are seen as either potential meals or respected neighbors, so habapi just don't have that sort of relationship with other creatures. However, they do have their own creations, such as Kilnkin and Creta Dolls. Creta Dolls are made from red clay and fabric and imbued with magic from elemental runes and creta runes. Creta magic gives these dolls life, which allows them to toddle around and chatter. The will of the creator of the doll determines that dolls personality and how it behaves. It's unknown whether these dolls existed before the Loss of Magic era.

Habapi even make dolls of Miatians!

Some of these dolls can be crafted with recipes available at JUNGLE TRADER; others are ready-made and sold at JUNGLE TRADER or during Summerpeak Festival at the FESTIVAL PRIZE BOOTH. Complete festival prompts to earn Festival Tokens to get some recipes and dolls without runebits! 

See WORLD> GILDE SHOPS >Festival Prize Booth 
See WORLD> GILDE SHOPS >Jungle Trader 

Red Clay Crafting MAterial

A new material is available for crafting the habapi creta dolls. Red clay is separated according to it's creta stone content. Clay with little or no magical creta stone magic is made into household items and goods while clay that has creta particulate in it can be made into Creta Pots, Creta Dolls, Kilnkin and other magical items. 

Red clay can be obtained via doing the Sunpeak festival prompts, the Jungle Delight prompts or by purchasing from the Jungle Trader shop for 20 runebits (kilnkin drops).

Spring Beast Trials (for real) Wrap-Up

In the end, all the shadow portals were finally uncovered!

Lord Wiikset can finally enjoy its vacation in Miatias. It seems it chose to visit the jungle. I wonder if it will run into anyone...

Shadow portals can now be used by Aitielkh with any level of Shadow Step and aiti with Shadow Step mastery are powerful enough to bring another elkh or other large living creature with them. This allows the aitielkh to fast travel between points quickly, including across continents, as long as there is another portal in that place.  See the World Map for Elkh Shrine locations to see where the portals are.

Changes to Gen Prompts + Gen and Giftart Rewards

The general prompts category has gotten an overhaul! We have set mini prompts and Followers of Aiti retired prompts aside for the time being, and instead we have reintroduced general art rewards. There are now PROMPTS to submit your general art and gift art, as well as commissioned art, to easily receive rewards. The prompts in this category could just be considered suggestions for art to make to develop your character, so we hope you will enjoy having the freedom to make those choices yourself going forward. A list of ideas (retired mini prompts) is available on the General Art turn-in prompt if you miss them!

• General art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site.
• Gift art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site, as a gift for someone else.
• Commissioned art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site, which you paid someone else money to make for you (does not include trades).

Submitting previously made General & Gift art

For this month only, you may submit old art that fits these categories to receive rewards, but only art/writing which is up to one year old (this is on the honor system- you don't need to prove it). After this month, you will no longer be able to submit old art for rewards. You cannot submit gift art that has already received rewards such as Giving Gala, Yule Exchange, or Featured Character art.

Bepnip Day

Thanks to staff member Key, we have some new plants for our world which have some silly effects on Elkh. You can read more about them at our new Flora page!

• Blazebrush: A plant beloved by beps but not so much by humans. This woody plant has large red 5 pointed leaves and bright yellow and orange blossoms. Although it doesn't smell good to humans, beps absolutely adore how it smells. Beps are known to nibble on it and roll around it in, causing a euphoric and playful feeling!
• Moonlettuce: A fragrant plant that smells of blueberries and matcha. The leaves are a popular green in salads for humans and beps alike. The lettucy leaves are buttery and sweet. When let grow a long time- the plant blooms a huge blue cuplike flower. When beps consume or smell this flower, it causes feelings of silliness, happiness and zoomies.
• Wizard's Borage: A difficult-to-grow flower that beps and humans both enjoy! Not only does the plant boast beautiful, large purple speckled flowers but consuming the flowers in different ways can cause feelings of relaxation, euphoria and giddiness. It sparkles when it's lit on fire.

AND!

There will be a themed flatsale today!

Ascended Aitielkh

Aitielkh who choose to ascend will have a new, beastly form with great power. They will be able to switch between their two forms freely. Upon mastering all magics, you can simply follow the Ascended Aitielkh guide to design the ascended form and submit it as a Design Update on your characters masterlist entry (you can choose whether its the main image or a secondary image). You may also purchase an Ascension Pearl from the CG shop to skip all magic prompts and grant your aitielkh full magic mastery so they may ascend. Once the art is updated, the character will provide daily collectible drops and can access the Ascended Library.

Aitielkh are not ascended/do not have drops until the updated masterlist art is created and approved.

Beacon's Offer After meeting briefly several weeks ago, Beacon has returned to gather Aitielkh who wish to ascend. Only those who have fully mastered all magics can ascend, and only ascend if they wish to, by swallowing an Ascension Pearl.

Ascended Aitielkh will be able to collect crystalized wishes daily, which can be used for crafting.

See the Ascended Aitielkh page for full details!

Mastery Wisp

Starting today, owners of Aitielkh who have mastered all magics can detach that characters 7 wisps, send in a claim mentioning you'd like to combine wisps, and receive a Mastery Wisp in their place. Be sure to attach the affected character so we know who to give it to!

Granting Wishes Prompts

Ascended Aitielkh can now participate in Granting Wishes Prompts to gather more wishes (crafting materials).

See WORLD> PROMPTS> Granting Wishes Prompts

New Trait and a New Flower

New trait for all elkh: druidic ears (R)! This trait could be considered to be similar to long x furry ears.

And, due to popular request, we've created a new flower! This plant, commonly called Falling Stars (Convallaria stella), grows and drapes from cliff faces in Wish's Rest and is closely associated with aitielkh and ascended aitielkh. The flowers are bell-shaped but have five petals, resembling stars when viewed at the opening.
It can now be used in flowercrowns.

Mastery Badge & Future of LEarning Magic

Any player who has mastered all magic with at least one Aitielkh is eligible for this new badge made by Key! We will automatically send it out to everyone who has earned it so far. Amazing work during MotA, everyone!

We're also planning to bring back the Apprenticeship prompt in the future. We know mastering magic is a lot of work, so having a teacher is important. The apprenticeship prompt will now be available for the month during any future beast trial (the Beast Box Magic Gacha will not be a part of the prompt).

USD and CG Shop Changes

• The USD shop has moved and now only sells CG
• CG can be bought and used in the CG shop to buy items that were available in the USD shop prior to the change
• Some items in the CG shop have had prices changed so we can evenly balance USD to CG to G.
• Custom design trait add-ons will now be through the USD/CG shop (buy CG in the USD shop; buy add-on potions in the CG shop)

We would like, and we know users would like, to have the USD shop on the site and have items delivered automatically. This feature is about $200 to maintain yearly, so thus far, it has not been feasible for us. If you want to see this feature, you can support us by using the current USD shop. If we make more regular sales that go well enough beyond covering this cost, we will look into getting it installed in the future!

Ko-Fi & server Boost rewards

There are a few Bepotelkh tiers on Herboreal's ko-fi which award you monthly (and/or quarterly) goodies like premium currency and Beast Boxes! Help support the site & its creators by subscribing! While some previews are provided for discord boosters, full previews are only provided on ko-fi from the Beepersneeps Tier and up! Many, many hours go into the making of our game and the art + writing for it, so supporting us via ko-fi is a massive help. You gain access to the sponsor chat where we hold monthly sponsor-exclusive raffles, post early design WIPS and previews, and more!

You can also boost the Discord server and earn 1CG per boost per month, as well as access to the Sponsor chat. The sponsor chat get sneak peeks and sponsor-exclusive raffles. (We are thoroughly boosted at the moment!)

Magic is rising again. A call from the sky stirs the hearts of aiti everywhere and compels them to sharpen their training! This month, Magic Trials earn a special bonus: a random beast box corresponding to the level of magic they are learning. For example, if your aitielkh finishes the first Rushing Waters prompt, they will recieve a random  Lv1 retired beast box. If they complete Lv3 Rushing waters, they get a random Lv3 retired beast box!

• There's no additional limit to how many prompts can be completed (other than the usual limit of once per elkh per prompt).
• You can "level up" as many aitielkh as you like.
• You do not get a beast box if you use magic crystals.
• We are winking at you and encouraging you to strive for complete magic mastery (all magics) on a character. Full mastery leads to Ascension! What is Ascention? Let's find out next month!

Loot includes (equal chance of any one):

• Beast Box Summer 22
• Beast Box Fall 22
• Beast Box Winter 23
• Ritual Box Spring 23
• Beast Box Fall 23
• Beast Box Winter 24

Alternative Prompt: Apprenticeship

After receiving the message, Usnea and the messanger Corvaani call out to the Beasts for their assistance. Most of them come to lend their time willingly as many of them were saved by local aitielkh in one way or another. 



One of them comes less willingly. After using their earthsense mastery to locate the hibernating beast, Usnea pulls Lord Wiikset from his slumber inside of a massive hollowed out tree in southern Rainsong Forest. The large, caterpillar-like beast has such heightened senses that it can only sleep if it goes into deep hibernation.

Usnea drags the sleeping beast into a cold pool of water and it awakes with a start. Wholly unperturbed, Wiikset greets Usnea and is quickly whipped up into an excited frenzy as it knows its help is needed.

Each of the Beasts featured are associated with a magic type. For this time only, these deeply magic beings are willing to help tutor your aitielkh in their magic specialty. 




Please read the prompt carefully as the prompt requirements are different than usual. However, if you complete the prompt as described, you will receive magic mastery with one prompt instead of doing the usual three. Magic crystals cannot be used for this prompt.
