While Coldreach still has its icy grip on Etherios, people are looking forward to the festivities that happen during the month of February. It’s a month of relationships and connections. Friends, families and lovers alike all come together to appreciate each other. Gift giving, writing letters to one another and making memories are just some of the ways Etherians celebrate this month.

Mini-Event: Month of Valyn

February surrounds a figure in history known as Valyntine. She was a princess well known across the land from her affectionate, giving nature. Valyn had a heart of gold, loving both her kingdom and her people to the point where she had no unrest and peace prospered under her reign. Citizens celebrate her memory during this time.

Contest Results

Shopkeeper Contest 

• Congrats hydroxyzine777  I loved the scruffy, chaos vibes of the design you made and definitely reminds me of someone who’d own a shop!

Familiar Contest

• Congrats to Cinder! I loved the overall concept of a snake who inhabits various items. There’s lots of potential and different ways I can make them fit all sorts of biomes!

I’ll still be going through the other Familiar submissions to see how I can introduce them. You all had such precious ideas and I definitely would love to incorporate them!

Rewards will be sent the coming days for the winners, keep an eye on your inboxes!

Leaves on the trees have begun shifting hues, whispers of souls and haunting things alike rippling across towns. The time for Umbraveil has come to Etherios. This is a season of harvest, hauntings and other activties. While some enjoy the light-hearted, fun aspect of this time; others look to collecting souls or simply avoiding the eve all together."

☀️ June Update ☀️

Faetide

Faetide festivities have come to an end for this year! All prompts & shoppes are unable to be purchased from or completed. That being said, we have rewards to hand out for our two contests!

The Fleeting Emerald DTA

There were only a few entries total, so all are winners in our books!

The winner of The Fleeting Emerald design is . . .Spiritowl!

Your story was a wonderful narrative to read and really brought personality to this character. Also shed some cool ideas into the forest and fae life within Etherios!
Congrats on your new baby!

And of course, our runner ups, Snoodle-Tea & Ch_Art_Reuse!

You also wrote an enchanting narrative to pair with the glowy Arcanai. We absolutely loved the overall atmosphere of your piece! And the animation art piece was STUNNING. 

Originally the runner-up winner prize was x15 TS + Faetide loot, but, with lack of entries we’ve decided to bump this up! x25 TS + 1 Faetide Loot + 1 Sunwake loot!

Congratulations to the both of you!

Now onto our fiery designing contest,

A Roaring Flame!

There were more entries to this contest which is awesome! It was difficult to choose a winner, but in the end we narrowed it down! First let's announce the runner-ups!

Midnightmage

Jai

Spiritowl

All were unique in their own way and took interesting spins on the fire fighting concept!

Now for our winner . . .Tasmathian!

We loved overall the vibe of the design and the broodiness. It definitely gave off a sassy, determined, blazing fighter! All participants will be rewarded! Thank you for everyone’s entries, we hope you guys will join future ones!

Now with the official end of Faetide, we go into more with Sunwake!

Sunwake

Sunwake has only just begun and there is certainly more to come within the season of the sun! To start, there’s a whole new familiar type!

Glissrays

Gliding among the reefs in huge groups, these creatures are surprisingly friendly. They come in all sorts of colors and shapes, tiny to massive! Seems you can collect a few to start. They’ve been added to the Sunwake loot!

Storyline Quest

Go meet the Flameweavers! Coming to the island, you’re met with a new face who’d love to show you around. Why don’t you join him? Meet our new NPC, Pyrrhus and join in on the sacred festival dedicated to Ignis by visiting the prompts page!

Extra Notes:

More art assets are on their way! Working on them slowly but surely.

That is all for now! Thank you guys!

☀️ Hello June and our first website newsletter! This is going to be a hefty newsletter, so please read through everything, it's worth it! ☀️

🏠 Toyhou.se 🏠

The time has come to sunset our Toyhou.se! Our Lorekeeper website is ready to launch and it makes no sense to keep full functionality with our Toyhou.se, not when everything is now centralized within Lorekeeper! Please note, we will be keeping data and other things that we’ve uploaded there. In the coming weeks, the Toyhou.se world will have some changes done to it to direct new users to register on Lorekeeper.

We will still use Toyhou.se for advertising and display of information.

🌼 Faetide 🌼

Normally, Faetide would end today and the launch of Sunwake would begin. Well, with the early closure of Toyhou.se forums and some people not getting to participate, we are extending Faetide activities until June 8th!

Note that Faetide activities have been transferred here onto Lorekeeper where you will be able to submit your prompts. Quests, items and traits are on the website. The only thing missing is the shoppe, which will go up shortly! (tweaking the coding)

✨ Now for the most exciting thing, LOREKEEPER! ✨

This has been a process to say the least and I am so thankful that I’m able to set up a website, so quickly too! HUGE thanks to our coder Camy, who has worked her booty off to ensure things get done. Please note, things may still be wonky and some things may not work. If you find anything, PLEASE PLEASE report it. Let us know. We want to get things smoothed out as quickly as possible.

Lorekeeper brings a plethora of new features and easier capabilities to you. This includes auto transfers between members, prompt submissions with a queue with auto rewards once approved, dailies with currency, shops that you can buy from, easy masterlists, automated MYO slots and much much more.

How do you get signed up? Well it’s pretty simple, read on!

Start by clicking REGISTER and start getting your account all set and verified. You’ll get an email to have your account verified. 

Couple things to note:
✦ Your username does not need to match your toyhou.se username.

✦  Make sure to link with your Toyhou.se account, Deviantart linking is not working at this moment!

Once this is done, you’re going to need to get your Toyhou.se inventory transferred to you + any characters you own! Please read through this form and answer all questions!

📜 Inventory Transfer Form 📜

Click Me!

If you have any questions or confusion, please ask in the Discord server! Note that transfers may take up to 72 hours. We will do our best to get everything done in a timely manner as we can!

Once your account is all good to go, you are free to poke around the site and see what you can find or start prompts, if you’d like!

🔥 New Event - Sunwake! 🐚

It’s time to join your peers and make your way to the  Emberforge Archipelago! The fabled Flameweaver’s Festival is underway, a celebration dedicated to the fiery child Ignis.

With a new season comes a new event and new loot! Sunwake is in full swing along with the extension of Faetide. Please note, not ALL Sunwake assets are finished and things will be coming out in the next week while we finish up the last season. June 8th is when another large announcement will be made.

✦ What does Sunwake bring? ✦
✦ Flameweaver’s Festivities Questline & Lore

✦ New Familiar Variants!

✦ New Familiar type, Glissrays! (To be revealed soon...)

✦  New side quests!

📣 Weekly Updates & Newsletters 📣

There will be monthly newsletters set up on the Lorekeeper from now on, and announced in the discord. As the site is updated, we will ping in our Update channel every week on the discord if there is a substantial amount of updates!

For now I believe that is it, happy Sunwake & Pride month travelers! (I'm gonna try to add in some pride related things here soon! Hehe)
If you have any questions, ping staff in the server. We will try to answer as quickly as we can!


Huh...?  What's this. Maybe you should grab it?
