Hellooo Orins! We've had some changes to prompts and pet stuff on site; here's the return of our newsletter to get the Realm updated.

Mermay Magic

This event will run throughout the month of May.

Seasonal Prompts

Have you noticed that the 🌸I think it's Spring! prompt ran for 2 months, from March until April?
That's because we're changing monthly prompts to seasonal prompts!

• Reruns every year, following the four seasons and themed around the holidays.
• Seasonal prompts are open for 3 months at a time:
  • Spring: February, March, April
  • Summer: May, June, July
  • Fall: August, September, October
  • Winter: November, December, January
• Writing options for prompts have been re-implmented; now, you can draw or write about your Orin for prompts.
• New reward! Receive a random seasonal pet for each submission
• New extra! You can now draw or write about a pet to earn some extra Dreamshards

With that, we introduce our first 3-month long seasonal prompt...

🏖️Fun in the Sun

Draw or write your Orin enjoying summer vacation for Dreamshards and summer-themed pets!
