Winter '23 Beast Trials Wrap-up

The melodies were mightily impressed by all the amazing shows Aitielkh from all over put on for them, and Valasong provided blessings to many elk in the form of wings and the very unique uni antler! Some melodies were so impressed they even followed the elkh home! Great work, everyone!

The Beast Trial Shop is open until March.

(All participants recieve a participation badge and an additional Lv3 Beast Box!)
The final point tally was 102 out of 60!

Matsana Jungle exploration event

February is typically known for the famous Sono Races, but this year, everything has come to a halt!
Explorer Rambler has returned from a year-long journey and everyone is gathered around him at the center of Tama to hear about his discoveries.

The people of Miatias are familiar with the jungles on the other side of the mountains, but there is much superstition surrounding the area. Miatians value the open sky, and the dense canopy of the jungle is inhospitable in this way, along with generations of stories warning of all manner of unpleasant creatures and strange happenings to those who dare enter. Even Rambler's human adventuring companion Meridian declined to attend this exploration, but Rambler forged ahead.

a new sono subspecies

First, a whole new subspecies of elkh has been brought to light!

Meet Casa Sonos!
These teeny-tiny counterparts to Villa Beps are mildly fluffy all over, but not to the extent of Villas.
Unlike Villa's reputation for a sunshiney attitude, Casas are stubborn, independent, and resourceful.

Casa Sonos are available to make via MYO slots and customs immediately!

See WORLD > ENCYCLOPEDIA >SUBTPYES > Casa Sonos

Exploration event

Rambler also spotted some new creatures and ruins, but he's requesting a team of brave souls to join him on a return trip to learn more.
If enough explorers join in, they may be able to uncover even more exciting discoveries!

Track the event HERE!

Exploring the Matsana Jungle via drawn or written prompts will earn you Mossy Gildes (1 per prompt) which you can later use to purchase Mossy Treasure Chests from the Event Shop (1 gilde = 1 chest). The Event Shop unlocks when the meter reaches 25 points.
Mossy gildes will  vanish 1 week after the event ends (March 7) so please spend them quickly! They will only be used for Mossy Chests in this one-time event, so no need to hang onto them for later.

The contents are a mystery but perhaps teammates will share their findings with you as chests are discovered!

Work together to thoroughly explore the jungle and ruins. If the goal is met, an exciting new discovery will reward all participants!

Goals:

• 25 points- Event shop unlocked ✅
• 50 points- New areas of Matsana Jungle Described ✅
• 60 points- ??? ✅

Updates:

-We reached 25 points and the Events Shop was unlocked! Everyone can now turn in their mossy gildes for mossy chests throughout the event!
-We reached 50 points, unlocking more information about some specific locations in the jungle! Characters (typically sonoelkh and miatian shroomkin) can also live here now. A free pet was added to the event shop!
-

Congratulations! We reached 60 points; the end goal (and so quickly)! All this exploring has uncovered a new playable species called Habapi. These peccary-like creatures have a fascinating history you can read about in the Habapi guide. All participants throughout the event will receive 1 free MYO ticket; additional tickets are available in the event shop for a discount during the event, and will be available at a higher price in the general shop afterward. (if you have yet to participate, you will get one when you do!)

-Hapabi guide created
-Habapi traits added to the encyclopedia
-Habapi design information added to the design guide
-Hapabi now have their own masterlist
-Habapi prompts forthcoming in March
-Matsana Jungle is now a place your characters can live (though we don't recommend humans..)
-Matsana Jungle theme now available under settings- placeholder banner to be updated with different art in the future :>

The event continues through February, so please feel free to continue exploring Matsana Jungle. Perhaps the new locations and creatures we’ve discovered will provide inspiration for new adventures!

The event shop will remain open for the first week of March so any leftover mossy gildes can be spent. We currently have no plans to use mossy gildes in the future, so please spend them promptly as they will disappear after March 7. Remember to pick up your free pet and discounted MYO tickets before that date as well.

See WORLD >WORLD MAP >EVENTS

Beast Trials Winter 2023

A new and unusual new trial is here! Valasong has summoned Aitielkh to the south shores of Silkkassa near Reheva, where the ocean meets rocky cliffs and pristine beach. Track the event's progress on the tracking page!

Valasong is our "beast" for the Winter 23 Beast Trials. You can find Valasong by going to World Map > Figures.

See Valasongs request on the prompt page!

See WORLD > PROMPTS > LIMITED PROMPTS > BEAST TRIALS

Beast Boxes

The reward for participating in this event is a beast box! The level of box you recieve for a prompt correlates directly to the magic your aitielkh used in said prompt (read the instructions thoroughly, because this one is a little different!). Beast boxes are gacha boxes with a chance of winning any one of the items inside of them. Chances are listed below.

Beast boxes include beast tokens as well! The amount you get corresponds to the level of beast box (lv 1 gets 1 token and so forth). The beast token shop will open January 1st and remain open through February 28th; you will be able to use your tokens to purchase the prizes unique to this event.

Aiti Rare Trait Potion (small) 25% chance
Tender Shoot bundle 25% chance
Spectral Lights 18.75% chance
Melody Companion 12.5% chance
Feathered Wings Potion 12.5% chance
Uni Potion 6.25% chance

Spectral Lights 33.33333% chance

Valasong Aiti Traits

The featured prizes in this round of Beast Trials are two different trait potions! These potions can be applied to aitielkh/sonoaitielkh only. They will, respectively, give your aitielkh feathered wings and a unicorn "antler" (which can appear one of two ways as shown in the encyclopedia). Uni can be combined with other antler types to create new combination traits. Feathered and bat wings can also be combined (requiring a mysterious carving of course).

See WORLD >ENCYCLOPEDIA >ALL TRAITS

Regarding aitielkh subspecies

In the past, we decided natural born aitielkh could not be various subspecies. Because of changes to the lore, namely that all elkh subspecies arose naturally in nature, we've decided to open up aitielkh to all subspecies, so please look forward to more villa, mountain, and other aitis.

Hollygiving Wrap-up

Just a note to say thank you for participating in our first Hollygiving on the new site! We're going to change a few things next year to make things go a little more smoothly, including a hard deadline for sending holly out, a limit on how many beps can send holly from one user (some users felt too overwhelmed to even start, so we want to help!), and allowing holly to be spent through Dec 30th with the rolls taking place Dec 31st. Again this is all for next year, so we hope you look forward to it!

ODDS & ENDS

• Beast trial items are now on seasonal rotation in the Crystal Gilde shop! This winter, the Kirin Scale is available.
• TOS has been updated; AI art or writing is prohibited.
• TOS has been updated; Designs using Herboreal's bases may not be resold.
• The Featured Character is updated on the front page!
• Raffles are on hold for the time being so there is no new raffle this month.

Hollygiving

The snow is falling and the candles in homes are lit. There's magic and yule spirit in the air!

The Story of Hollygiving

Bepotelkh may give out bundles of holly leaves and berries to other beps they think deserve them for doing a good deed or even just brightening their day some time in the last year. This is done in the name of the mysterious Spirit of Yule, an indescribable creature or force that embodies the magic of Yule and encourages reflection and new beginnings. It's said that the Spirit chooses some lucky beps each year on which to bestow some gifts, and that these gifts are presented by the equally mysterious Gifting Stag. The Gifting Stag is said to be a bepotelkh with flaming yellow eyes, growing in power in late December and appearing on the edge of forest clearings and the outskirts of villages. His antlers are draped in silver cone bells.

When a bep receives a bundle of holly, a human friend ties it to one of their antlers. To humans, bep antlers covered in holly are seen as a good luck charm. Beps who lose an antler (or both) while still wearing holly may choose to give one of those antlers to their caretaker or another important human in their life. These decorated antlers can be seen on doors and village gates. With wild and free beps, this tradition is similar, but instead of humans tying the holly on, they have to get the help of other wild creatures like shroomkin! In villages, holly bundles for giving are handed out to beps by their village ambassadors. In the wilds, beps must find holly bushes to snip bundles from with their teeth.

Instructions

• Pick characters from the masterlist to give holly to.
• Each of your elkh may give out 3 holly bundles to any other elkh they choose (but please choose active users)!
  • You may, in ONE instance, have one of your beps give a holly bundle to another of your beps! (we decided this was too cute story-wise to be overlooked, but again, only once and with one bep!)
• Comment on this news post, linking the bep who is giving the holly, and the three candidates they are giving holly to!
• A moderator will send the holly currency to the recipients you chose.
• Holly currency can then be spent at the Yule Shop, where you will find Gudvin has all kinds of gift boxes!
• The gift boxes each enter you into a different raffle. See the below image to learn what you're entering for and buy the corresponding box.
• Open the raffle ticket box to be entered into the raffle!
• The hollygiving raffle will be rolled on December 26th and items will be delivered the same day.
• If we get a high number of entries, we will increase the number of winners for each raffle!
• You can enter all the raffles as many times as you want!

AUTUMNFOUND PROMPTS

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!
Many are geared toward domestic Elkh, but Autumn Feast and Fall Colors can be entered with wild elkh (including aitielkh). Aitielkh can also participate in the costume contest (on their own terms- not in the village)! Prompts will be awarded acorns.

There are also some new Aiti Rare Traits just in time for fall!

Mushroom growth and Mushroom Walking are now available to use with an Aiti Rare Potion (details in the encyclopedia!)

mimic trait

We've decided to introduce the Mimic Trait for those who enjoy creating beps that look like other creatures, but found the current traits & trait combinations too limited. This trait will allow any real-world mammal or bird marking to be applied to an elkh. This trait is restricted, meaning it is non-breedable; it's also currenly only available via custom commissions, but may be available for use on MYO designs in the future once we work out any kinks in the system :>
The price for the mimic trait is now listed in the custom guide; it is also available in the CG shop and thus can be bought with CG and applied to customs that way!

NEW AUTUMN ACCESSORIES

Check out the Elkh Shop for the newest seasonal bep accessories, available September through November! As always, there are also a set of retired accessories available. And, as a reminder, accessories can change color as you like to compliment your elkh's look! The colorways provided in the shop are simply options :>

Sono Free Raffle Design

This month's raffle design is by our dear MountainMadam aka Woolsey!

As always, you can enter for this raffle by making a gift for another user and submitting it under the Raffle prompt!

See WORLD > Prompts >Limited Prompts to find the Prompt Raffle- please check the submission guide if you need help learning how to submit prompts- or ask in our discord chat!

2nd Beast trials wrap-up!

The nibblers were deftly shooed away from the Lightning Master, who was able to recover and once again fiercely stand watch over the fulgarite beach,  always waiting to teach new aitielkh students how to dance with lightning. Does the Master seem a bit... humbled???

The Post-Trial Event Shop is now open for the month of August! As a reminder, we do have to clear out the earned MP in order to reuse the event tracker, so the shop is now Beast Tokens only!

Introducing Starter boxes

We've made starting out with Beps easier by creating Starter Boxes! These boxes are now available at the General Shop and are free; one per person! You can pick up a box regardless of how long you've played, so please enjoy your MYO and bonus gildes! Instructions for using the box are on the item itself, but of course we are happy to answer questions in the discord as well.

New MYO Bases

We thought it would be a good idea to provide some new bases for the sake of the MYO starter boxes! These can be used to more easily design your first MYO or to play around with design ideas before finalizing. You can find them on the Design Guide.

Wild Speak

Completing Village Stories prompts allows elkh to earn a Work Permit. Now, an equivalent reward has been created for Wild Pact: Wild Speak! An oft-requested feature, this will allow your elkh to speak fluently to animals and understand them as well! Complete the required Wild Pact prompts to earn this skill and recieve a bonus whenever it's featured in future prompts. As with the Work Permit, you may also buy the Wild Speak Blessing in the general shop.

Aitielkh inherently posess the ability to communicate with animals via telepathy or Wild Speak. Most elkh speak to wild animals and companion animals at the same level of understanding as a human has with their domestic pet.  The elkh can talk to the animal and depending on the relationship the animal has with the elkh, the animal may or may not understand them. Some bepotelkh who have lived in the wild long enough get blessed by Aiti and gain the WIld Speak ability. This ability allows Beps to use a combination of speech, chattering and body language to successfully communitcate with all animals, wild or domestic.

Odds & Ends

• The featured character is updated for August (see main page)! Earn 8 gildes for drawing them and submitting as a prompt.
• Note that this is the last month to buy Summer accessories in the Elkh Shop!
• This month is a great time to complete more magic trials to hone aitielkh's skills for future beast trials. The next trial is in October!

Nubian sono ears + Free Raffle Design

Sonos can now enjoy the same floppy nubian ears beps have had for awhile now! In fact, this month's raffle design is sporting them!

As always, you can enter for this raffle by making a gift for another user and submitting it under the Raffle prompt!
(Go to WORLD > Prompts >Limited Prompts- please check the submission guide if you need help learning how to submit prompts- or ask in our discord chat!)

Stay tuned; Autumnfound is on the wind with more exciting new things.

Returning Prompt: Chickens!

Summer is here in Silkkassa and Miatias! That means the Summer Harvest Festival! Four new limited prompts are available only for the month of June. The prompts follow standard prompt guidelines (fullbody + minimal BG required) and are awarded standard gildes with bonuses. In addition to the gilde reward you may also pick one chicken of your choice!
