________________________________________________________________________________

It's June, and love is in the air! On Earth, colorful flags fly high, music and art fill the world, and love is celebrated more than ever.

On Kósmos, something similar happens: while Kósmos doesn't have the impactful history Earth deals with, dwellers of all kinds gather around to celebrate love for the sole reason that it's love: love of all kinds fills us with joy, and makes our lives more meaningful and blissful. And so, Kósmos, too, is filled with music, flowers, colors, and laughter.

Happy Pride month everyone!

While I've been busy trying to juggle life, our lovely Kageh , Kyennalla , and Wyverntoots took the time to design some beautiful Pride Eláfkeri for this June! Thanks to their drive to get something done, I was able to toss a little one in as well.

All designs showcase a few different LGBTQIA+ flags, and are looking for new homes!

As per usual, these Eláfkeri have special rules to make sure their designs and flags are properly respected.

You don't have to identify with the flag to join! Queer and ally folks are equally welcome to celebrate love.

{ Timthriall 2022 }

Thank you everyone who has participanted in this years Timthriall thus far! We look foward to host the next one.

Now that entries are now closed. Please make sure that you claim your rewards by the end of the month June 30th. 

________________________________________________________________________________

With the northern snows melting, and the southern sun mellowing, the Kósmos welcomes once again the beautiful spring flowers and gentle autumn breezes.

And with them, excited chatter about the festivities begins to be heard all over the place: Timthriall is here once again!

With the passing Síocháin full of small gestures and relaxation, dwellers from all over Kósmos are now recharged and ready to celebrate!

How will your Eláfkeri tackle the season's festival this time?

________________________________________________________________________________

{ About }

Welcome to our second Timthriall!!

This season's Timthriall consists of a simple art-based event meant to be light and fun while more things cook behind the scenes!

As many of you may remember, Timthriall's traditions vary from season to season: while spring's Timthriall welcomes new life, autumn's Timthriall bids farewell to parting one.

Like most creatures of Kósmos, Eláfkeria tend to have a deep connection with the festivities, and look forward to the celebrations.

> Read more about Kósmos culture here! <

While Timthriall is lore-heavy, keep in mind you don't have to follow the lore if you don't wish to! You may tweak and adapt prompts and lore to your liking, as long as all event criteria is met.

________________________________________________________________________________

{ Rules }

• Anyone may participate! You may use your own Eláfkeri, a Starter, or a leased Eláfkeri ( with permission from the owner ).
• Players only need to complete one (1) prompt to claim the event's rewards, but may complete all if desired ( rewards may only be claimed once ).
• Collaborations between up to four (4) players are allowed! However, each participating player must use one (1) Eláfkeri in the entry to claim their rewards.
• Entries must be posted to PaperDemon and submitted to the HarP Counting Queue before the deadline to count for the event! Entries that are judged by admins after the deadline but were posted before will still count.

________________________________________________________________________________

{ Entry Criteria }

• All entries must collor HarP guide rules.
• Visual art must be full body, colored or shaded, and have a background!
• Literary art must be 700 words minimum, and have a background; 100 words are added to the minim count per extra Eláfkeri!

________________________________________________________________________________

{ Prompts }

To participate in the event, depict your Eláfkeri celebrating Timthriall during spring or autumn, following any of the prompts below.

Keep in mind that the mentioned "relevant traditions" in each prompt are for lore purposes! You may read more about them in the Culture guide if desired, but it's not necessary at all.

________________________________________

Prompt One: Smore's Little Sprouts ( Autumn )

Smore has decided to organize a small seed-planting day for autumn! Alongside other dwellers of Ágape, she's decided to gather seeds from all over Ágape Forest to plant them around Mirësi Grove.

But there's one issue: there's not enough creatures to help carry all the seeds!

Depict your Eláfkeri helping carry bags of collected seeds to cross the sea towards Mirësi Grove!

Relevant tradition: Autumn Timthriall Seed-Planting.

________________________________________

Prompt Two: The Largest Bonfire ( Autumn... and Spring )

While looking around the spring celebrations, something odd catches your eye: a HUGE pile of wood seems to be arranged into a statue of sorts, despite it being spring, not autumn... is it a cow? No.

A flash of bright blue tells you otherwise. Proving your assumption, good, old Crookedfeather pops out from behind the wooden thing with a log between their teeth. It's a statue of themself, and they're still adding the finishing touches!

Without giving you a chance to escape, they drag you over with a wing, and tell you it needs to be taller than Írida Mountain before setting in on fire, for the bonfire skipping tonight, of course.

Depict your Eláfkeri building, finishing, or attempting to skip over the monstrous Crookedfeather half-statue half-bonfire!

Relevant tradition: Spring Timthriall Bonfire Skipping; Autumn Timthriall Statue Carving.

________________________________________

Prompt Three: Prisme's Flower Garden ( Spring )

Somewhere in Kósmos, where spring's a gentle caress of dancing petals and serene, whispering grass, Prisme has a garden.

It's a garden made of all sorts of flowers and trees, that sprout every year to bring beautiful aromas and colors to a small corner of the Kósmos.

Still, you've noticed Prisme isn't one of many friends, and it seems that their lovely garden doesn't receive much of a Flower Dance each spring. Maybe if you invited other dwellers, you could host a Flower Dance for the little garden?

Depict your Eláfkeri organizing the Flower Dance for Prisme's small garden!

Relevant tradition: Spring Timthriall Flower Dance.

{ Crafting }

Crafting items is important for Eláfkeri survival. Be it life-saving items like food and potions, or practical tools like satchels and armor, Eláfkeria use the materials they collect from the Kósmos in many different ways to make life a little ( or a lot ) easier.

Crafting uses player-owned items to convert them into different, more elaborate items that aid Eláfkeria through different Activities.

________________________________________________________________________________

{ Rules }

• Any player may participate in Crafting. No Eláfkeri(a) are required for this Activity.

• Crafting may only be done once the player has all the needed items for the recipe.

• Crafting recipes do not have a stock limit ( unless they're limited-time items ), and may be crafted as many times as desired, as long as the player has the needed items.

• You may only request one (1) type of item per request, and may request up to ten (10) of said item in a request.

• Once Crafting is done, it cannot be undone.

{ USD Shop }

________________________________________________________________________________

> Back to Game Menu <

________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome! Here you can request purchases of different in-game items.

Keep in mind that we will never ask you to state your private information to the public!

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

{ About }

For transparency, and for your own safety, the purchase process is the following:

I. Your PayPal account email is requested to be sent to Elafkeria-ARPG , which is a leader-only account that only lead admins and other specific admins have access to. They only use this information to run queues, and have previously agreed to keep all admin-received information private.

II. Your PayPal account email is only used once for the purchase request you link. Once the purchase is made, the information will not be used again ( unless needed to solve an issue ).

III. Once an admin checks the information, they will send a PayPal invoice and let you know through a reply to your comment in this blog ( NOT to the PM ). They will ask you to reply once you've paid so that they can check, and process your purchase.

IV. The admin will process your purchase once it's paid, and will let you know as a last reply to your comment in this blog.

V. USD purchases go towards the game's maintenance and support to the creator.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you've purchased before, you will still need to send a new PM with the information, as admins do not check back, nor memorize this information.

This also allows for each PM to work as a receipt of sorts for the admin account's logs.

Subject: "USD Purchase"

PM Text: [ state your PayPal email account clearly so that we can send an invoice ]

II. Fill out the following form as a comment to this blog:

Items to Purchase: [ list all items you wish to purchase alongside their individual prices ]

Total Sum: [ state the price total ]

Sent PM: [ Have you sent the PM with your PayPal account? Requests that state no will not be able to be processed ]

III. Go back to your sent PM, and send a new message with the link to your comment request.

This way, admins will have a public queue to work with, while keeping your information safe and without confusing purchases.

{ Egg Hatchery }

________________________________________________________________________________

> Back to Game Menu <

________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________

You enter a cozy place made of wood, soft cotton, and many, many toys! An enormous ball of hay rolls towards you, and you find yourself picking it up before jumping out of two energetic fawns' way!

"Sorry, thank you for catching that! It's always hectic during playtime; how may I help you?"

Fwubby, a short and feathery creature scoops the ball up before tossing it back inside a playpen as they hold an asleep fawn with their tail.

Before you can reply, their eyes light up excitedly, and they let out a joyous gasp.

"Could it be? Do you have an egg that needs incubating? I'll be happy to help!"

They hold a hoof of yours in delight, and drag you gently but rushedly into the incubator room, which is warm, and full of eggs of all colors and sizes!

________________________________________________________________________________

Fwubby's Hatchery is the place in Kósmos where you can hatch eggs you've found! Fwubby knows how to care properly for all kinds of eggs, so they'll do a good job for you.

If you own an Egg of any rarity, you may roll it for a geno here.

Remember Eggs are logged into your Characters tab, not your Inventory!
