Autumnfound: Giving Gala Returns!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 4 days ago by HerborealAfra and the shadow well at ease
With the help of Corvääni and her corva, the aitielkh have successfully caught the wild shadows and freed Afra from their imprisonment. The avian messenger of the Goddess blesses your aiti for helping her and Afra. A question that Corvääni muttered to herself before leaving sticks in your aiti's mind, what trapped Afra in the first place?
Afra back in their true form at the Shadow Well
You can now see Afra's profile via World > Lore >Important Figures

Bepotelkh Lore of the MonthThere's legend among aitielkh of islands in the sky. The details seem to have been lost to generations for some reason. Even human sailors have vague tales about having seen flashes of strange landmasses in the sky for just a moment as the sun was at "just such an angle". Searching the sky now, no one can see a thing, so it is considered a fairy tale. |

Autumnfound Beast Trials!
Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by Herboreal
Beast Trials: scramble at the shadow well
The Messenger speaks to your aitielkh As day turns to dusk your aiti feels wind pass by their flank, as they turn around to look at the cause, they see a curious creature. A corva, much larger than any usual bird or their species, with a stark appearance. This one is split right down the middle with one black side and one white. Many, many seasons have passed since any elkh has spotted this particular corva, for she is not any regular bird, she is a demigod, Corvääni, the messenger from the Goddess Aiti herself. “I come to you today, not with a message from Aiti, but with an urgent call from Afra, the justice of the shadow well. As you know, Afra guards the shadow well, keeping in balance the two opposite natures of shadow, compose and caprice. Without caprice shadow has no life or movement but without compose, shadows cannot be contained and spread everywhere, removing color from its surroundings. There has been a disruption at the well, Afra has been weakened and captured in her minish state, throwing off the balance of compose and caprice. We must release them and funnel the escaped shadow through them and back into the well. The escaped shadows may be tricky to spot, my children the corva can help guide you if you do not have shadow magic. Use your magic to free Afra, capture these shadows and restore balance to the Well. The shadows are much easier to catch if you yourself are trained in the art of Shadow Step.”
Afra captured in their minish form
Help capture the shadows and return Afra to their full power!

The last of the years crops are being harvested and fields prepared for next spring. Preserving food to enjoy through the winter has begun. Fruiting fungi are popping up everywhere, much to the delight of shroomkin. Humans and elkh alike enjoy natures bounty and celebrate with stories, food, and festivities!
AUtumnfound Scavenger Hunt
Our Autumnfound scavenger hunt is back and elkh from all over are handing out the items! Can you find all 10? AUTUMNFOUND PROMPTS
Art by MouseinSweater Autumnfound Prompts will be available all season (September through November), but keep in mind that other events will start in October and November, so September may be the best time to focus on them!

Recruitment Event
During all of Autumnfound, we're holding a recruitment event!
The debris bunny is a wild creature from Rainsong Forest. Its greenish coloration helps it blend in with ground mosses. It picks up sticks and other debris as it shuffles along, adding to its camouflage. In dangerous situations, it plants its face into the moss and appears as an unappetizing pile of debris. The desert debris bunny is similar but blends in more with the desert scenery, picking up bits of cactus which also provide extra protection! |
Vocations & Crafting for Elkh
Bepotelkh Pride performing a Civil Duties vocation: delivering the mail!
What Are Vocations?
A vocation is a job or specialization that an elkh can participate in! In the past, we've provided a gilde bonus for elkh drawn with work gear. This will continue! However, once a vocation prompt is completed, elkh can have more of an "official" duty which will provide daily crafting item drops. Their vocation badge will also provide access to hidden shops where specialized recipes and retired accessories can be accessed and/or purchased!
Benefits
Once an elkh has a work permit (can be obtained from the general shop OR by completing the first four storyline prompts for beps or sonos), and has then completed the vocation specialization prompt, they can:
- Collect daily crafting item drops on the elkh's masterlist page
- Access special hidden shops for exclusive recipes and retired items
- Craft their vocation's companion
- Craft their vocation's potions or enchanted accessories
See the Vocation Page here for details!
A Note to the few owners of Royal Guard Beps:
You are eligible for skipping some (but not all) prompts; send in the training prompt BLANK (but attach the character slug!) so we can unlock the second prompt & award all the goodies you get automatically! Applies to Beps: 133, 134, 289, 478, 604, 931, and 832 (thewyvernandthefox, galestormkitsune, key, pandelirious, mountainmadam, and fiachmara).
See >HOME >Crafting
See >WORLD >Prompts >Storylines
See >WORLD >Prompts >Vocation Prompts
What about Aitielkh?
Because they are above doing labor for humans, Aitielkh are not eligible for a work permit or vocation. However, we do have solid plans in the works for a similar feature for Aitielkh. Release date is TBD based on our ability to get everything done. If you want to support more features like this, joining the Ko-fi (or making one-time donations) can help free up more time for Timbre & Nopal to do work on the game (we've been working on vocations for a long time! Art assets alone took three months)!

New seasonal autumn accessories!
Monthly collectible plush: Ambassador Henki!

Bepotelkh Lore of the Month
Silkkassans and Miatians do their best to live with the land, and are very conscientious about environmental impact. Generally, it’s culturally unacceptable to get more than what is needed from nature, or to let what was collected go to waste. |

BT Wrap-Up and Autumnfound Approaches: Storyline Bonus Month!
Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by HerborealKing Cade Rests Again... For Now!
The aitielkh and habapi successfully wrangled cicadles from the structures they threatened long enough to delay complete destruction, but surely there will be some repairs and cleanup to do for some time. All participants will be given a participation award and Lv2 beast box for a successful victory.
The Beast Trial Shop will be open through August 15th so be sure to purchase what you need before it closes!
We aimed low due to a certain art game going on this month, but players knocked it out of the park!
Autumnfound Approaches: Storylines Gain New Importance!
With Autumnfound around the corner, we want to give everyone a chance to get going on storyline prompts before we drop a new game update that will require completing the first 4 prompts OR having a job class permit/wildspeak!
There is now a Storylines Guide if you need help getting started!
Art by Pandelirious
Storyline Focus Event is back! During these months, you may earn bonus currency for completing Storyline prompts without worrying about missing out on any special events. We hope to have these temporary bonuses occasionally during months where other events aren't scheduled. Storyline prompts include: Village Stories, Wild Pact, Oasis Dreams, The Desert Trail, Followers of Aiti, Trail of Mushroms, and Jungle Delights.
Please note that the new feature arriving in September ONLY applies to Bepotelkh and Sonoelkh; it does not apply to Aitielkh, Shroomkin, or Habapi. However, you are still welcome to participate in those storylines for the bonus this month if you wish!
When you submit your prompt, the bonus reward you get (in addition to standard currency) will be randomly generated.
50% chance: 3 Gildes
25% chance: 5 Gildes
20% chance: 7 Gildes
5% chance: 1 Crystal Gilde
Reminder: Recieve a 10CG award for completing any Storylines Path! This reward is available all year.
See WORLD > PROMPTS
New Items Appear...
You may notice some new items appearing in the Daily Calendar this month! We won't provide details for now, but all will be revealed when Autumnfound begins Sept 1st! Be sure to sign up for the Daily Calendar Reminder role in the discord server if you'd like reminders to check in every day!
Felvits Are Here!
A new type of companion will be available going forward! Meet felvits (pronounced like "velvet")!
Felvits are omnivorous wild animals that can be captive raised, but aren't quite domestic. While native to the surrounding environment, some varieties have clearly been tailored toward human tastes. They have 5-toed grabby hands and are very nimble depending on the type, spending a lot of time in trees or otherwise up-high. Sharp claws for climbing and big ears for hearing All. They take well to living alongside humans and elkh as they enjoy picking off the pests that follow, such as small rodents and insects. They eat pretty much anything they can, including fruits and even (human-cooked) grains. They come in many body types and even a gliding type (the humans did not make this one and it's a questionable pet because it's highly capable of theft)!
(Out of canon note: Felvits are our version of cats for Silkkassaa, but they are a native animal thus stay in reasonable population with the environment they're in! We hope this scratches the cat itch!)
Pet Rotation to Begin in the Elkh Shop
Beginning this month, new pets will be rotated in the elkh shop on a monthly basis! We're starting with one of the new Felvits (the rest will be available in the future, one by one!).
Old companions and exploration prompt companions will continue to be rotated every season in the CG shop.

King Cade & The Cicadles
In ages long before man There was one mighty king He let his children feast and his clan raise number
The goddess faced the king and his kith “Until the end of time, for every 800 seasons you will slumber”
On the longest, hottest day of the year, an ear splitting buzzing is heard. As the sun is directly above in the sky, a giant shadow is seen flying toward the nearest human village. As Aitielkh follow the buzzing, large blue beetles are seen all over the forest, deserts, mountains and swamps.
As aitielkh rush into the human villages, these beetles are even more present, and even with all the buzzing, the sound of chewing can be heard. A gigantic creature with sparkly wings, an impressive collar of fur, and a massive crown of horns seats himself on the tallest structure in the village.
As people and elkh alike start to panic, how does your aitielkh subdue the cicadles before they leave the villages and forests to splinters? At nightfall, King Cade and his Cicadles will return back to the earth to slumber, but the damage must be reduced before they eat everything!

Habapi Ruins Restoration & Pride Month!
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 5 months ago by HerborealHabapi 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.
A habapi using creta chalk to perform creta magic.
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!
See WORLD >PROMPTS > Habapi Ruins
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.
See HOME >Crafting
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.
See WORLD >GILDE SHOPS >Jungle Trader
Updated Habapi Design guide
The habapi design guide has been updated to add more helpful information on designing bipedal forms!
See GUIDES >Design Guide
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.
See >WORLD >LORE >Species Guides >Habapi
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.
See WORLD >ENCYCLOPEDIA >All Traits (sort by newest for ease)

Return of The Lost Fawn
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by HerborealThe LOst Fawn
One bright and sunny spring day, a group of fawns was playing out in the flower fields of Tuil. At some point, one of them went missing! Word of mouth spread quickly to all the elkh in the area to keep an eye out for a lost fawn, and so everyone was tasked with searching both the village and the surrounding fields and forest to find the young elkh! Reportedly, the other fawns did see a strange sight though... a group of pollen packers carrying off a massive load of pollen?! Was that pollen ball fawn sized?! (Note that you can draw any elkh participating in this event regardless of where they're located!)
Pollen packers are wild and fluffy creatures that dine on pollen. They roll up collected pollen into a ball and carry it back to their homes to store for leaner months.
Rewards:
For every prompt, users will get standard prompt gildes, a random pollen packer companion, and a raffle ticket to enter for the lost fawn design. The winner will be able to choose from a set of color palettes for Herboreal to complete the final design. Details can be found on the prompt itself.

Herboreal Commissions/Customs Update
Commissions have obviously been open scarcely this year due to my health issues. I am finding less time and energy to work. In order to be kinder to myself, I am discontinuing the ping list and "first come first served" commissions in favor working from google forms. The forms will be linked in the Bep discord anytime I open commissions. Users send in their requests for commissions and I choose based on what I feel up to working on/what suits my abilities. This means some requests may be skipped. I know this is a big change and I appreciate grace as I continue to navigate balancing my health issues with serving the group.

Work Permit Changes
Due to some very exciting upcoming changes to the ARPG, work permit prices have increased and can now only be bought twice a year in order to emphasize participation & character development.
