🎆 realm of orin RELAUNCH 🎆

The mods are extremely excited to bring you this event! We hope this relaunch drums up some new interest in the Realm of Orin, for both long-time community members and attract new Orinators.

This event will end February 5th and wrap up on February 15th.

Let's dive into the event!

As you travel through the dreamy hills of the Realm, you encounter a large figure...

"My name is Valka. Are you looking to join the cause?"

The Guardian Quest has been released!

NPC-763 Valka endeavors Orins across the Realm to strengthen their magic. She brings a new permanent type of Prompt, called Quests. The first of these Quests allows your Orin to change their subtype from an Illusionist or Technician into a three-horned Guardian. Most Orins in the Realm only have a moducum of magic, as one or two horns were the only freely usuable subtypes for a long while. But with three horns, Guardian Orins become great protectors and renowned fighters, warding off the Corrupted at the front lines.

"Go forth, brave Orins. I, Eclipse, shall welcome those who have proven themselves into the ranks of Guardianhood with open hooves."

While NPC-763 Valka trains Orins to become Guardians, it takes the magical prowess of a Celestial to bestow a graduate their status as a Guardian; a role that NPC-818 Eclipse is enthusiastic about. In truth, she merely has a fun-loving streak, and wishes to attend the after-parties. Nevertheless, she will dutifully carry out her role.

It seems becoming a Celestial may be the final ascension to mastering Orin magic...

New dailies & updates

More freebies! More freebies! The crowd calls... and the Celestials listen.

Have you noticed the updated art for the Dreampool? Courtesy of paper, we hope your daily visits are ethereal and dreamy.

And we have not one, but TWO new dailies?!

The Relaunch Daily awards additional Dreamshards and items, and is free to click every day. The Relaunch Daily will last for 28 days, and the earliest you can receive the grand prize is on February 5th. The Relaunch Daily will stay open until February 15th for any missed days and for people who started late.

Wait, why did we say 'free to click' ...? Haven't all the dailies been free so far?

paper has also uncovered a mysterious Ominous Button... Be wary, young Orin, if you dare press it.
The Ominous Button daily is a permanent daily, so if you ever have some spare Dreamshards, why not try your luck?

🔎 Let's tour the site! - Scavenger Hunt 🔎

Over 2025, strabi has worked hard in fixing the site and implementing new fun extensions, like the dalies and the scavenger hunt. We introduced scavenger hunts during the Easter event, and the Realm of Orin saw a resurgence! We bring back the scavenger hunt extention to take a tour of the site's latest additions, from paper writing out trait descriptions to the raffles feature that rehomed many new Orins.

Check out your progress and clues in the Relaunch Tour Hunt.

There are a total of 5 Tiny Boxes hidden around the site.
This is a pretty easy scavenger hunt! To note, targets will not be hidden in user profiles, on any characters outside of NPCs, or past newsletters. Basic knowledge of Orin traits and of the site are needed to navigate this scavenger hunt. You can ask for clues or help from other users in the comments below or in the Discord server, but do not release any hints publicly!

To start the tour, click the Tiny Box below to get your first clue.
