BT Wrap-up + Fawn Growth Event!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by Herboreal
Beast Trials Wrap-Up
This is our first failed trial! The prompt will remain open for the next month. If we can reach the new goal, shadow portals (fast travel for aitielkh) will unlock! Completing this prompt will now award one magic crystal in addition to the usual rewards. The prompt can be completed up to 5 times by one player.
>> Track BT Here <<
The Future of Beast TrialsSince we have uncovered all of our magic mentors, beast trials are due to be restructured for the future. We will be taking a break from trials for the summer while we make new plans (kofi Beast subscribers will get their choice of one Lv3 beast box during the usual time the next trial will take place). |
Welcome!
Let's welcome BlossomBeast aka Honey, who recently joined the mod team! Honey has been a longtime player who helped us come up with ideas early on in the group (think Seasonal Plot Prompts). We felt she would be a good fit to help us come up with fresh ideas going forward, so we hope you will look forward to some of the new features we come up with together!
Fawn Growth Event
During the month of May, grow your elkh fawn by doing just one prompt instead of the usual 4! You'll receive a locked Growth Ticket when you complete this limited prompt. Check the daily calendar for occasional goodies to add to your fawn too! You'll need to draw or commission art of your grown elkh for the masterlist after the promt is completed, but there is no time limit for that.
See WORLD> PROMPTS> Limited Prompts
Changes to Gen Prompts + Gen and Giftart Rewards
The general prompts category has gotten an overhaul! We have set mini prompts and Followers of Aiti retired prompts aside for the time being, and instead we have reintroduced general art rewards. There are now PROMPTS to submit your general art and gift art, as well as commissioned art, to easily receive rewards. The prompts in this category could just be considered suggestions for art to make to develop your character, so we hope you will enjoy having the freedom to make those choices yourself going forward. A list of ideas (retired mini prompts) is available on the General Art turn-in prompt if you miss them!
- General art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site.
- Gift art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site, as a gift for someone else.
- Commissioned art/writing is art/writing that was made independently of any prompts or events on the site, which you paid someone else money to make for you (does not include trades).
Submitting previously made General & Gift art
For this month only, you may submit old art that fits these categories to receive rewards, but only art/writing which is up to one year old (this is on the honor system- you don't need to prove it). After this month, you will no longer be able to submit old art for rewards. You cannot submit gift art that has already received rewards such as Giving Gala, Yule Exchange, or Featured Character art.

Midmonth Update!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by HerborealBepnip Day
Thanks to staff member Key, we have some new plants for our world which have some silly effects on Elkh. You can read more about them at our new Flora page!
- Blazebrush: A plant beloved by beps but not so much by humans. This woody plant has large red 5 pointed leaves and bright yellow and orange blossoms. Although it doesn't smell good to humans, beps absolutely adore how it smells. Beps are known to nibble on it and roll around it in, causing a euphoric and playful feeling!
- Moonlettuce: A fragrant plant that smells of blueberries and matcha. The leaves are a popular green in salads for humans and beps alike. The lettucy leaves are buttery and sweet. When let grow a long time- the plant blooms a huge blue cuplike flower. When beps consume or smell this flower, it causes feelings of silliness, happiness and zoomies.
- Wizard's Borage: A difficult-to-grow flower that beps and humans both enjoy! Not only does the plant boast beautiful, large purple speckled flowers but consuming the flowers in different ways can cause feelings of relaxation, euphoria and giddiness. It sparkles when it's lit on fire.
AND!
There will be a themed flatsale today!

The rest of silkkassa tends to be rainy in April. Miatias tends to be more dry and sunny, but experiences strong winds in the valley. In April, there are already plenty of flowers blooming on cacti and other plants. |

See >WORLD >Prompts >Limited Prompts
Ascended Aitielkh
Aitielkh who choose to ascend will have a new, beastly form with great power. They will be able to switch between their two forms freely. Upon mastering all magics, you can simply follow the Ascended Aitielkh guide to design the ascended form and submit it as a Design Update on your characters masterlist entry (you can choose whether its the main image or a secondary image). You may also purchase an Ascension Pearl from the CG shop to skip all magic prompts and grant your aitielkh full magic mastery so they may ascend. Once the art is updated, the character will provide daily collectible drops and can access the Ascended Library.
Aitielkh are not ascended/do not have drops until the updated masterlist art is created and approved.
Beacon's OfferAfter meeting briefly several weeks ago, Beacon has returned to gather Aitielkh who wish to ascend. Only those who have fully mastered all magics can ascend, and only ascend if they wish to, by swallowing an Ascension Pearl.
|
 |
Ascended Aitielkh will be able to collect crystalized wishes daily, which can be used for crafting.
See the Ascended Aitielkh page for full details!
Mastery Wisp
Starting today, owners of Aitielkh who have mastered all magics can detach that characters 7 wisps, send in a claim mentioning you'd like to combine wisps, and receive a Mastery Wisp in their place. Be sure to attach the affected character so we know who to give it to!
Granting Wishes Prompts
Ascended Aitielkh can now participate in Granting Wishes Prompts to gather more wishes (crafting materials).
See WORLD> PROMPTS> Granting Wishes Prompts
New Trait and a New Flower
New trait for all elkh: druidic ears (R)! This trait could be considered to be similar to long x furry ears.
And, due to popular request, we've created a new flower! This plant, commonly called Falling Stars (Convallaria stella), grows and drapes from cliff faces in Wish's Rest and is closely associated with aitielkh and ascended aitielkh. The flowers are bell-shaped but have five petals, resembling stars when viewed at the opening.
It can now be used in flowercrowns.
Mastery Badge & Future of LEarning Magic
Any player who has mastered all magic with at least one Aitielkh is eligible for this new badge made by Key! We will automatically send it out to everyone who has earned it so far. Amazing work during MotA, everyone!
We're also planning to bring back the Apprenticeship prompt in the future. We know mastering magic is a lot of work, so having a teacher is important. The apprenticeship prompt will now be available for the month during any future beast trial (the Beast Box Magic Gacha will not be a part of the prompt).

We would like, and we know users would like, to have the USD shop on the site and have items delivered automatically. This feature is about $200 to maintain yearly, so thus far, it has not been feasible for us. If you want to see this feature, you can support us by using the current USD shop. If we make more regular sales that go well enough beyond covering this cost, we will look into getting it installed in the future!

Month of the Aiti 2025: Beast Box Magic Gacha
Posted 5 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by Herboreal
A Call to the Sky
Usnea recieves communication from Beacon, an old friend who now lives in Wish's Rest. It's time for aitielkh to remember their roots and ways which were lost to corruption for several hundred years, but they can only Ascend if they work hard to master every type of magic they know. ✨NEW✨Begin a journey here to learn more about the current events. Check the Locations section for this one! |
Magic is rising again. A call from the sky stirs the hearts of aiti everywhere and compels them to sharpen their training! This month, Magic Trials earn a special bonus: a random beast box corresponding to the level of magic they are learning. For example, if your aitielkh finishes the first Rushing Waters prompt, they will recieve a random Lv1 retired beast box. If they complete Lv3 Rushing waters, they get a random Lv3 retired beast box!
- There's no additional limit to how many prompts can be completed (other than the usual limit of once per elkh per prompt).
- You can "level up" as many aitielkh as you like.
- You do not get a beast box if you use magic crystals.
- We are winking at you and encouraging you to strive for complete magic mastery (all magics) on a character. Full mastery leads to Ascension! What is Ascention? Let's find out next month!
Loot includes (equal chance of any one):
- Beast Box Summer 22
- Beast Box Fall 22
- Beast Box Winter 23
- Ritual Box Spring 23
- Beast Box Fall 23
- Beast Box Winter 24

Art by JayMeowth
Alternative Prompt: Apprenticeship
After receiving the message, Usnea and the messanger Corvaani call out to the Beasts for their assistance. Most of them come to lend their time willingly as many of them were saved by local aitielkh in one way or another.
One of them comes less willingly. After using their earthsense mastery to locate the hibernating beast, Usnea pulls Lord Wiikset from his slumber inside of a massive hollowed out tree in southern Rainsong Forest. The large, caterpillar-like beast has such heightened senses that it can only sleep if it goes into deep hibernation.
Usnea drags the sleeping beast into a cold pool of water and it awakes with a start. Wholly unperturbed, Wiikset greets Usnea and is quickly whipped up into an excited frenzy as it knows its help is needed.
Each of the Beasts featured are associated with a magic type. For this time only, these deeply magic beings are willing to help tutor your aitielkh in their magic specialty.
Please read the prompt carefully as the prompt requirements are different than usual. However, if you complete the prompt as described, you will receive magic mastery with one prompt instead of doing the usual three. Magic crystals cannot be used for this prompt.

Bepotelkh Lore of the MonthThere is division in Magicker circles! Some are content to help non-magickers out by creating and selling useful enchanted tools and trinkets; others disdain this idea. The division is based in beliefs about magic, its origins, and how it should be respected. Almost all magickers could be said to believe in using magic for the benefits of all beings; but selling enchantments or putting potentially dangerous magical items in unpracticed hands is controversial in some circles. |

Hollygiving, New Avis Express Prompt, More!
Posted 5 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by HerborealHollygiving
The snow is falling and the candles in homes are lit. There's magic and yule spirit in the air!
The Story of Hollygiving
Bepotelkh may give out bundles of holly leaves and berries to other beps they think deserve them for doing a good deed or even just brightening their day some time in the last year. This is done in the name of the mysterious Spirit of Yule, an indescribable creature or force that embodies the magic of Yule and encourages reflection and new beginnings. It's said that the Spirit chooses some lucky beps each year on which to bestow some gifts, and that these gifts are presented by the equally mysterious Gifting Stag. The Gifting Stag is said to be a bepotelkh with flaming yellow eyes, growing in power in late December and appearing on the edge of forest clearings and the outskirts of villages. His antlers are draped in silver cone bells.
When a bep receives a bundle of holly, a human friend ties it to one of their antlers. To humans, bep antlers covered in holly are seen as a good luck charm. Beps who lose an antler (or both) while still wearing holly may choose to give one of those antlers to their caretaker or another important human in their life. These decorated antlers can be seen on doors and village gates. With wild and free beps, this tradition is similar, but instead of humans tying the holly on, they have to get the help of other wild creatures like shroomkin! In villages, holly bundles for giving are handed out to beps by their village ambassadors. In the wilds, beps must find holly bushes to snip bundles from with their teeth.
Instructions
- Choose one of your elkh to give holly to other characters. Your elkh can give holly bundles to any characters on the Bepotelkh, Shroomkin and Humans masterlists.
- You may use up to 15 of your own elkh to give out holly (a max total of 45 bundles). Please do not use more than 15 elkh.
- Each of your elkh may give out 3 holly bundles to 3 different characters (but please choose active users)!
- You may, in ONE instance, have one of your beps give a holly bundle to another of your beps! (we decided this was too cute story-wise to be overlooked, but again, only once and with one bep!)
- NOTE: To help out the mods, please either give the holly to three different users, or all three to one user No need to list out usernames at the end- just follow the format and that's what works best for us!
- Comment on this news post with the name and masterlist number of your elkh, and then write out the names of the characters as well as the owner's name in the comment. (no need to link characters, just please remember to add the usernames!) Example:
You can write out story snippets along with your hollygiving or
Just simply list the names of the characters and their owner/s
- A moderator will send the holly currency to the recipients you chose.
- Holly currency can then be spent at the Yule Shop, where you will find Gudvin has all kinds of gift boxes!
- The gift boxes each enter you into a different raffle. See the below image to learn what you're entering for and buy the corresponding box.
- Open the raffle ticket box to be entered into the raffle!
- The last day to give holly is December 25th!
- The hollygiving raffle will be rolled on December 27th and winners will be contacted on the same day.
- If we get a high number of entries, we will increase the number of winners for each raffle!
- You can enter all the raffles as many times as you want!

A feat of endurance and strenth, this village on the stark trundra at the northern most point of Silkassa. Known as "The Flame", Vuur is known for it's incredible blacksmiths. A monument with an ever lasting fire burns on a pedestal along the sea, both as a beacon to ships and wayward souls buried at sea.

Bepotelkh Lore of the MonthWinter is long and cold in most of Silkkassa (it's more dreary and rainy in the south). Lights are very popular this time of year, mainly in the form of candles and lanterns. In Miatias, where lanterns are popular year-round, residents focus more on stargazing in this season. Bundling up and enjoying the long nights by looking skyward together. |

Bepotelkh Lore of the MonthThere's legend among aitielkh of islands in the sky. The details seem to have been lost to generations for some reason. Even human sailors have vague tales about having seen flashes of strange landmasses in the sky for just a moment as the sun was at "just such an angle". Searching the sky now, no one can see a thing, so it is considered a fairy tale. |

Autumnfound Beast Trials!
Posted 8 months ago :: Last edited 7 months ago by Herboreal
Beast Trials: scramble at the shadow well
The Messenger speaks to your aitielkh As day turns to dusk your aiti feels wind pass by their flank, as they turn around to look at the cause, they see a curious creature. A corva, much larger than any usual bird or their species, with a stark appearance. This one is split right down the middle with one black side and one white. Many, many seasons have passed since any elkh has spotted this particular corva, for she is not any regular bird, she is a demigod, Corvääni, the messenger from the Goddess Aiti herself. “I come to you today, not with a message from Aiti, but with an urgent call from Afra, the justice of the shadow well. As you know, Afra guards the shadow well, keeping in balance the two opposite natures of shadow, compose and caprice. Without caprice shadow has no life or movement but without compose, shadows cannot be contained and spread everywhere, removing color from its surroundings. There has been a disruption at the well, Afra has been weakened and captured in her minish state, throwing off the balance of compose and caprice. We must release them and funnel the escaped shadow through them and back into the well. The escaped shadows may be tricky to spot, my children the corva can help guide you if you do not have shadow magic. Use your magic to free Afra, capture these shadows and restore balance to the Well. The shadows are much easier to catch if you yourself are trained in the art of Shadow Step.”
Afra captured in their minish form
Help capture the shadows and return Afra to their full power!
