Autumnfound Continues with Vocation Spotlight: SCHOLAR!
Posted 1 week ago :: Last edited 22 hours ago by HerborealVocation Spotlight: Scholar
This month, we're focusing on the Scholar vocation. Below, find a new prompt associated with Vocation Spotlights, as well as a new Specialization feature.
Did you know? You can find a current list of elkh and their vocations in the Discord server under ETC >Vocations!
Vocation Apprenticeship
Currently, joining a vocation requires several Storyline prompts to be completed, a work permit earned, and a vocation prompt on top of that. During months when a Vocation Specialization is introduced, the Vocation Apprenticeship prompt will appear, allowing your elkh to apprentice under another elkh who is already working under their vocation. For example, Halima (Bep-1500) is a Scholar, so another elkh could apprentice under her and learn the Scholar vocation by doing only a single prompt with the two of them in it! These prompts have a one month time limit when they are active and apply only to the featured vocation. You'll earn the vocation badge, a work permit, and unlock vocation drops.
See WORLD >PROMPTS >Limited Prompts
 Elkh in the Scholar vocation can now choose to specialize and become an Apothecarist. What better place to study than in Reheva, Silkkassan beacon of medicine and science?
Learn to assist human medical experts, give treatment recommendations, and find ingredients for medicine!
 Apothecarists will earn their uniform via the Apothecarist Specialization prompt (which you can either complete the prompt via art or prose, OR simply attach the specified crafting materials to the prompt submission instead), and new crafting recipies are now available in the Scholar Shop.
|
Apothecarist Accessories and Companion
A sturdy leather bag with metal components. One drawer swivels forward for easy access to medicines and ingredients. Can be worn over the shoulder or dually as saddlebags.
Be instantly recognized as a trusted source of medicinal information. This soft shawl will also keep one warm in the damp weather of Reheva.
What an inspiring companion, resembling the medicine of the forest!
See WORLD >PROMPTS >Vocations

advent calendar changes
Due to player request we are now implementing another way of getting the advent calendar final prize. You may now draw the Featured Character (seen on the front page of the website) in exchange for the calendar prize. You may only do this once a month, but that now means you can get the prize twice if you draw AND complete the calendar. As always, if your character is the featured character you are still welcome to draw them and receive the prize.
Because we implemented this just before the end of October we will extend October's prize (fuzzy familiar: lupine) for drawing October's featured bep (bep-1898) until Nov 15th. (Submit using the featured character prompt, we will know which prize you want by the character you draw)
This month's calendar completion prize is a Plush of Autumnfound shopkeep Tata! Feel free to draw this featured bep any time this month to receive the prize.
See WORLD >PROMPTS >Limited Prompts
Find the Fuzzy
Every month, this frisky fuzzy hides somewhere on the site. Find them and get 5 gildes! The fuzzy will never be hidden on the masterlist, but may appear in Guide pages, Location descriptions, sections on the World page, or any of the Encyclopedia entries. There will be no hints and we hope you will keep the location secret if you find it so others may enjoy the hunt on their own! Happy hunting!

Bepotelkh Lore of the Month
When it comes to village living, elkh have a few options: -Living in the home with a Human companion: most homes are made to accommodate elkh companions at this point. Large doorways allow for entry into the home without difficulty, though some side rooms may not be as easy to enter. -Living in an outbuilding attached to the home (pictured above): the home may have an addition on it that allows the elkh to sleep out in the fresh air, but still under the same roof. This is especially nice because Silkkassan elkh are built for the cold, so a home heated to human standards may be uncomfortable at times. This is less common in the warmer Miatias. -Living in the public stables: near the center of each village is a structure made for any elkh who wishes to take up residence. These are free to use as long as there is space available. The elkh register with the local Ambassador to get a stall assigned where they can sleep at night and keep any belongings. In Miatias, there are also semi-open-air communal baths in the larger villages where elkh can cool off in the summer. |

Fall Habapi Trends
Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by HerborealOn the Haute Hunt
Though most habapi haven't left the Matsana jungle, a few leave the safety and comfort of their lush home. One little habapi, Samposa, is always on the look out for the hottest trends and fashions from the bepoteklh and human front. Using her Umbra magic to sneak through a shadow portal, Samposa found herself in a chilly forest of Silkkassa, the autumn colors vibrant and the fall fog misting the forest floor. Once she reached the nearest village, something shocked the habapi. Samposa has seen many elkh before, of course, but she discovered something so fashionable this season that she had to go running back to her friends in Lar Cantio to whip up some potions right away.
Samposa sneaking into town to scope out the latest fashions
Beastie Traits
To her surprise Samposa found a few of the elkh sporting wolfish faces! How fashionable! Along with their antlers with so many tines, and then some inspiration from other sources (wolves, it's wolves) The Habapi have invented three new potions, ready to set the trend this fall season!
Beastie Traits include: Beastie Paws (claws and paw pads (front feet only)), Beastie Teeth (Sharp teeth like a canine) and Beastie Horns (large curled horns with many tines)
Note: Beastie Horns can be combined with other horns to make them larger and with added tines
Beastie Trait recipes are now available to everyone by going to your free recipes in the crafting section!

Autumnfound: Night of the Werebeps!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by Herboreal
Night of the Werebeps
A plague has struck Silkkassa and is spreading fast. Elkh are gaining wolfish features and, most frighteningly, gaining an appetite for other creatures. Their terrifying faces cause them to be immediately ostracised from village living and wild herds alike, but that's not even the most tragic aspect of this illness! Elkh cannot digest meat, and with no appetite for plants, they will waste away and die if left untreated. Fortunately, the amazing scientists of Reheva have pinpointed a cause AND a cure! The cause?
WERE FELVITS! Something has caused certain wild felvits to change. Unlike in elkh, the Lupine disease is not fatal in felvits, but the animals become aggressive and seek out other creatures of any size to attack. Their bite is what transmits the illness. There's no known cause of the change in these isolated pockets of felvits, but investigating aitielkh say there is a smell lingering on them that they recognized from Afra's capture. It seems it is only affecting wild felvits, though pet felvits could be at risk if they come into contact with infected wild felivts. So far, it seems that the bite of an elkh does not transmit the illness. ...but this mystery must wait for another day to be fully solved. For now, there are lives to be saved!
The Lupine Potion
Growing near Reheva, the Rainbowleaf Lupine is toxic when eaten alone, but in the hands of a pharmacist, it becomes medicine. The carefully extracted properties of this plant can be made into a decoction which can stabilize the Lupine condition, saving the recipients life and leaving them with only lingering mild symptoms that appear during a full moon.
The Lupine Trait
As a trait, Lupine gives elkh a wolf-like face. It is optional to add this to the masterlist art, and similar rules apply as to Kelpie's Curse; you can add a secondary image with the "were" form, make it the primary image, or not add the were form image at all and just have the trait. It is up to your taste if your elkh has this appearance all the time, or if it only shows during the full moon. Required:
Post-remedy, some elkh are able to return to village life without much issue. If their condition only manifests during the full moon, they may simply make themself scarce at that time. Others may continue to try to live normally with their new features and risk social ostraciszation due to their terriying appearance (other elkh see only the face of their mortal enemy). Acceptance of this condition may take time among elkh, and the struggles may have lasting effects on everyone's feelings. Some elkh may even abandon village life for the wild, and may find companionship in forming groups with others who share their condition.

Bepotelkh Lore of the Month
Crime is generally very minimal in Silkkassa and Miatias because everyone's needs are met fairly comfortably as far as food, water, and shelter. Those who engage in petty crimes are generally ignored unless they are doing some real damage, including physically harming others (some amount of theft will be covered/reimbursed by the crown). It is generally expected that if there is a thief around, the victim will find a way to fight back or catch the culprit themself. But if someone resorts to violent crime, that's when the Royal Guard may step in to escort them to rehabilitation (whether bep or human). They will live in a certain wing in the castle while they undergo counseling, enjoying provided lodging and meals as well as time in the royal gardens (more remote locations will have their own housing for this process rather than making the trip to Kei; same for Miatias). This process is voluntary and there is no heavy security keeping them there. However, the other option for repeat offenders who refuse to face their struggles is exile from the village, so rehabilitation is generally preferred to being on ones own after being so acclimated to life in civilization. Sometimes, social issues may still cause individuals to abandon society. The lupine condition is a great example of this. Other elkh are naturally repelled by the face of lupine beps, so these individuals may have difficulty socializing or working if their condition is prominent. Feeling spurned, they may either resort to crime to survive (or simply to lash out), or they may choose exile themselves. One may find bands of rough-and-tumble exiled humans or elkh outside of villages, making their own way in whatever way they can. |

Summerpeak Festival
Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by Herboreal
It's the time of year where Habapi celebrate the long days and plentiful food in the Matsana Jungle! Meridias is honored with food offerings and the habapi decorate her with all kinds of jungle flowers, joining her at the crystal for bonfires, music, and dancing.
In Lar Cantio, habapi play games to win vouchers for festival items, and some paths are lined with booths selling these foods and other goods.
Long Suffering Meridias is honored throughout the year, but especially during festivals, as is her right as the protector of the Habapi and their way of life.
New Habapi Foods
We've added a bunch of new habapi foods to the FLORA and FAUNA section of WORLD! You can see them here, or:
See: WORLD >WORLD MAP >FLORA TYPES >Matsana Jungle Eats
See: WORLD >WORLD MAP >FLORA TYPES >Matsana Jungle Fauna
New Habapi "Companions"
Habapi are unlikely to keep living things as pets/companions. Many jungle creatures are seen as either potential meals or respected neighbors, so habapi just don't have that sort of relationship with other creatures. However, they do have their own creations, such as Kilnkin and Creta Dolls. Creta Dolls are made from red clay and fabric and imbued with magic from elemental runes and creta runes. Creta magic gives these dolls life, which allows them to toddle around and chatter. The will of the creator of the doll determines that dolls personality and how it behaves. It's unknown whether these dolls existed before the Loss of Magic era.
Habapi even make dolls of Miatians!
Some of these dolls can be crafted with recipes available at JUNGLE TRADER; others are ready-made and sold at JUNGLE TRADER or during Summerpeak Festival at the FESTIVAL PRIZE BOOTH. Complete festival prompts to earn Festival Tokens to get some recipes and dolls without runebits!
See WORLD> GILDE SHOPS >Festival Prize Booth
See WORLD> GILDE SHOPS >Jungle Trader
Red Clay Crafting MAterial
A new material is available for crafting the habapi creta dolls. Red clay is separated according to it's creta stone content. Clay with little or no magical creta stone magic is made into household items and goods while clay that has creta particulate in it can be made into Creta Pots, Creta Dolls, Kilnkin and other magical items.
Red clay can be obtained via doing the Sunpeak festival prompts, the Jungle Delight prompts or by purchasing from the Jungle Trader shop for 20 runebits (kilnkin drops).

The streets are filled with music with Miatian influence, colorful Miatian fabrics and of course lots of dazzling glass lanterns. The port city bustles with merriment as it's fusion community celebrates the longer days and warmer nights. Earn a Tuskin Bay stamp for your elkh's stamp book, a Lumi Frog companion and a Tuskin Bay Lantern by completing this prompt. Train prompts can only be done once per character.

Spring Beast Trials (for real) Wrap-Up
In the end, all the shadow portals were finally uncovered!
Lord Wiikset can finally enjoy its vacation in Miatias. It seems it chose to visit the jungle. I wonder if it will run into anyone...
Shadow portals can now be used by Aitielkh with any level of Shadow Step and aiti with Shadow Step mastery are powerful enough to bring another elkh or other large living creature with them. This allows the aitielkh to fast travel between points quickly, including across continents, as long as there is another portal in that place. See the World Map for Elkh Shrine locations to see where the portals are.

Bepotelkh Lore of the Month
Umbrellas are a common sight, especially in Southern Silkkassa where rains are frequent. Umbrellas are typically made of waxed canvas, wood, and metal, but may have glass or ceramic decorative elements such as the handle, beads, etc. Elkh themselves are used to getting wet in the rain (most do not enjoy it), but some may wear waxed jackets to protect their back from the brunt of the damp. |

BT Wrap-up + Fawn Growth Event!
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months 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.
Monthly Shop Rotation
Find a new plush (Mox) and new pet (Bat (Gray Faced)) in the Elkh shop this month only!
See >WORLD >Gilde Shops >Elkh Shop
Build-a-Bep Server Raffle
We built a bep in the discord server using polls, and it will now be raffled off for free (in the server)! Join the server to participate in games like this (see Resources >DISCORD).
New Crafting Recipes
Everyone now has access to two new crafting recipes, both of which use any elkh crafting materials you have on hand.

Midmonth Update!
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months 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!
See WORLD> WORLD MAP> ALL FLORA

Bepotelkh Lore of the MonthSpring in Silkkassa varies depending on location. In the North, warmer days lead to snowmelt, but there’s no guarantee there won’t be an April snowstorm.. 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. |
