Previous Chapter The screeching caused Romulus to flinch, dropping Mordimer and slamming his paws over his ears. It was as though his eardrums were about to burst from the sheer force of her pitiful cries. The door to the library burst open, not that Romulus noticed as he curled in a ball, hands pressing against his ears to try and protect them. "Quick! Repeat after me, you have to be the one to summon them back." Byssus' tentacle stretched out shoving between the Harpy and the pup, applying force to press the beast back. "She's losing her hold on reality." They were losing time hunting down the townsfolk one by one. They'd already found a pawful, and there was still more to be found. "No need, I've got it memorized by now!" Remus shouted back before immediately turning to Elizabeth. "Come back, come back! The cost's to great To stray far from the pack Let our voice reach you, don't be late Elizabeth, you must come back! Back to your

Previous Chapter The day was edging by, and Romulus had been having a blast flipping through the pages of Mordimer. The spells he held within his cracked, old, covers were amazing, and he was full of wonderful knowledge. Somehow, learning like this, wasn't boring. He hadn't tried anymore spells, but had discussed a few of the more "spicy" ones with the tome. He suddenly understood how Remus felt when he was learning something new. With thoughts of Remus, Romulus realized that it was well into the afternoon and he'd yet to see hide nor hair of his little brother...or anyone else for that matter. "Maybe we should close up and go look for Remus. It's weird that he hasn't returned yet." Romulus frowned at the door to their shop. Even when he was at his maddest, Remus would forgive quickly and hurry back once something bothered him. It never took this long. 'I am sure the young lad is fine, but if you insist. It's been an incredibly quiet day after all.' The to

So someone alerted me that I've been using the name Regulus - and Honestly, IDK why I was. All instances of Regulus in the storyline AND the minigames should be Romulus, forgive me and my brain fart self.

Last week's round of What Am I has ended.

The item description was: The expression on this plushie exudes such an adorableness that makes ichie collectors wish this was not a plushie.
The answer was: Leafy the Plushie.

5 out of 6 Ichuans answered correctly.

A new round of What Am I has started. Good luck!

Yay!...It's Halloween and time to gather some yummy candies from everyone and hope no one plays any tricks!


All decked out in my little devil costume, I went out the door and down the sidewalk.
When out of nowhere I happened upon this glowing goo trail. Curiosity got the best of me, so I just HAD to follow it!

It was getting kind of creeeeeeeepy, as I heard noises that made me tremble to the bones. However, I JUST had to keep going, even though the area was getting very heavily treed. I crept deeper into the woods, when I recalled an old town myth of a hidden area that all the undead gathered at. Even knowing that, I still NEEDED to see what the noise was and why the goo trail was there!



I very carefully, though even a bit hesitant, kept walking, when the goo trail....just stopped! I looked around, it was dark and I was scared to DEATH!..The noises got LOUDER, I wanted to run, but couldn't.

A tiny light appeared a short ways in front of me, so I slowly walked up to it and that is when I SEEN it!.........

It was an extremely frightful and paralyzing sight!
It was Arada's Pumpkin Patch!

I looked fast and then run swiftly home before anyone or thing could see me!

Congrats! You win a boootiful trophy for your profile and ONE free month account upgrade!

The mysterious magics surrounding the Lost Realm seem weak still, in spite of the rapidly-approaching end of October. The Ringleader informs all visitors that she expects the Lost Realm will continue to be available to the general public for an extra week!

The following Haunted Faire festivities are being extended for one week, until November 7th, 2020 @ 23:59:59!

- Realm prompts and availability
- Drawtober prompts
- Apple Bobbing
- Free raffle entries (this means the raffle will not be rolled until November 8th)

However, the Costume Contest and Eidolon Hunt will close as expected at the end of October 31, 2020.

Lythian Marketplace

We have implemented a dedicated page to list the Lythian designs currently available for purchase or offers.

Unowned designs created by staff and guest artists will be listed here, as well as designs listed by members who are seeking to rehome their characters.

We will be aiming to adjust guest artist/staff premade design sales to occur on-site via these listings. Sales options such as auctions can be posted per-listing, and all comments on the listings will alert the seller. As always, guest artists and staff will be fully allowed to advertise their designs where they would like, but this will hopefully help centralize sales and keep them available to all members.

Moving forward, new auctions will always be held on-site on the relevant character listing.

Member sales listings operate similarly: comments on a listing will notify the seller, and there are various options available when listing a Lythian for sale/trade.

To list one of your Lythians for sale, visit their profile and click the "List Lythian for Sale/Trade" button. Lythians that aren't allowed to be sold won't see the "sales" section, but can still be listed for trade. FPCs cannot be listed at all, as they cannot be transferred.

Once a sale or trade has been agreed upon, it is still up to the seller/purchaser to arrange an exchange of the currency/items/characters/etc and transfer the Lythian. Upon transfer, a Lythian's marketplace listing will automatically be removed, so you don't need to remember to delist them.

Companion marketplace listings are not yet available, but are in the works.

Reminder

You have until November 8 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time to submit designed versions of FPCs. Any that are not designed (still showing the NPC, non-customized version of the art) will be removed after this point. Please refer to this news post for full information.
