These are the current functioning features the site has to offer!
While the basic framework for these features exists on the site, they are not currently in use and require further tweaking to meet the group's needs before we make them available.
These features are in the works! Many of these will require extensive work and testing before being released, thus you should not expect to see them in the near future. Still, they are something to look forward to!
This feature is currently non-functional. Your ketucari will still be tracked on dA until we integrate them into the site later on down the road.
This link will show you all your items. If you click on an item, you will receive a pop-up window where you can do the following:
This link will show you all of your currencies. You may complete a one-way transfer of currency from this page, as well. Again, it is recommended that you not transfer items to other users this way if you are expecting something in return.
This is where you can submit Quests, Skill Unlocks, and request Prize Packs if you haven't already redeemed them! For all of these things, click the "New Submission" button and then follow the directions below.
For Quests
For Skill Unlocks
For Adventures
For Crafting
For Prize Packs (Newbie Packs, Site Welcome Packs, etc.)
This feature is currently non-functional. We shall find a use for it at a later date!
This feature is currently non-functional.
This feature is currently non-functional.
This allows you to conduct two-way trades with other users! This part of the site is pretty straightforward.
For items, be sure to click the checkbox next to the item you wish to trade and specify the amount.
For currency, click "Add Currency" and select which and how much of the currency you wish to send.
Once your trade request has been sent, you will need to confirm your half of the trade. Once your trade partner has responded with and confirmed their half of the trade, you will both need to hit "Confirm Trade" at the bottom of the trade window to finalize it.
You can see a list of all other users here and view each other's inventories. This is useful if you're wanting to set up a trade! Eventually, you will be able to see each other's ketucari here as well.
This feature is currently non-functional except for the presence of our evil overlord, Kaur.
This feature is currently non-functional. We shall find a use for it at a later date!
This is a compilation of every item, prompt, and currency currently on the site. Eventually, it will also host all physical traits, builds, and genes related to ketucari!
This is currently a work in progress and will eventually host all of the World Lore information currently found on our dA!
This is currently a work in progress and will eventually host all of the Zone information currently found on our dA!
In addition to the Encyclopedia, you can also find names and descriptions (where applicable) of all the "prompts" on the site. This includes all quests and skill unlocks as well as current prize packs.
Here, you can find the Marketplace, Laurel Shop, and Legacy Store! You may purchase items by clicking on them and hitting "Purchase"! These are automatically placed in your inventory.
]]>It’s been a long time since we’ve done an official group sale and some things have changed since then. Be sure to read carefully to see what’s different, particularly concerning semi-customs!
With this sale, we are hoping to cover the yearly running cost for the group’s site ($253 per year). If we manage to make an extra $195 after that, we can prepay 3 years of the site’s storage requirement! Let’s see what we can make happen!
SIDE NOTE: Be aware that replies confirming purchases may be slightly delayed, as the admin in charge of the sale will be at work for the majority of it (RIP). Please allow 24-48 hours for confirmation.
The end date of this sale will be August 5th at 11:59 PM PST.

]]>Optionally there is second Raffle for a Mysterious Ketucari with a new Lineage Skill!
Cupid will be raffled off in a "Draw to Adopt" fashion. Entries must be full bodied and colored. Literature entries should be 300 words.
Cupid entries can be included in your Matchmaker entries.
This raffle superscedes the Sun Disk raffle, you cannot win both Cupid and a Sun Disk.
If Cupid is not made breedalbe/adequately bred within three months a Starter with the same lineage skill will be released.
Cupid cannot be redesigned. (However, they are eligible for a token application and may have trinkets, elemental blessings, or accessories added. Please contact IIIXKitsuneXIII if you need Cupid's .psd)
If you decide you no longer want Cupid or intend to leave the group, you may not Decease their import. You are welcome to return them to the group, or gift or trade them to someone else, or simply keep the import.
The raffle will be rolled on February 15th, after all entries have been turned in
Winning a Cupid will not affect the cub you receive or pairing in the main part of the event
The Journal for the event is Located Here
https://www.deviantart.com/matriarchs-haunt/journal/Matchmaker-2021-868986660
Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari!
There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots.
Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard.
You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month.
Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.
Going forward, we will be rejecting entries that we feel cross the line into disrespecting the character.
This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:
-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" in a way that deprives the character of personhood
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
]]>
And our new horns!
Buffulo, Slicked, Forked, Kabuto, Pigtails, and Papillon!
As well as secondary versions of Crown, Short, Ram, and Jacob's!
The horns will be added to the horn psd ASAP!
Similarly, some of you may have noticed there are two new gene interactions!
-Sugar Pangare (which can be found in the Pangare, Fading, and Mottling guides)
-Woodgrain (which can be found in the Brindle and Marbling guides).
We will be steadily updating design guides as time goes by.

EVENT ENDS 4-30-21*
EXTENDED TO 5-7-2021 (MAY 7)
This event is reoccurring, and will happen again in April 2022.
The winner of the starter slots is EverlastingStables!
The winner of the Strong Herbal Brew is CeriMond!
The winner of the Herbal Brew is LunaKirran!
Note: If you want, you may enter multiple times with one ketucari*. This is for those who want only one or two ketucari changed, or do not own more than one. After your initial entry that shows their new form, you can do more pieces depicting them for additional entries!! HOWEVER, these still counts towards your entry limit. Keep that in mind! You're only able to get up to five tickets for this event.
*If entering multiple times with one ketucari, they must either be the same race in each depiction, or you must be very clear in the descriptions which race their shift form is.
Prompts do not have to be "new" (as in posted after the event starts) however they cannot have been sumitted for previous years, use with Darhaskos's Talismans, or with Small Flip Coins.
Admin applications are always open! We keep track of applications here so that we can bring on new team members as the need arises. You are welcome to drop an application here any time, but please be aware that we have long down periods in between new admin rounds, so you may not receive a response immediately. As a courtesy, if you find you no longer have time to volunteer to the group, please hide your comment so that we know not to contact you. Thank you!
We'd like to bring some more team members on board in order to help fine tune our features, keep things running, and offer up fresh ideas! There's a few specific positions we're looking to fill, but you are not required to stick to the position you're applying for. Admins are free to offer their thoughts and help in any part of the group.
Admin positions are volunteer positions. However, we do have an "admin reward system" to work toward in-game items and custom ketucari as well as being able to sell custom rounds. However, unfair advantages such as increased breeding odds are off the table. If you are new to the admin experience, this will be a valuable learning opportunity that you could potentially apply to your own groups! Admins also have guaranteed off-time if desired, which can be found here: Staff and Holidays
We have a few requirements for admins that apply to any position.
• You must have Discord chat so that we can all communicate and brainstorm. You can download it here! https://discordapp.com/
• We don't have an age requirement so long as you have a mature, reasonable attitude. Disagreements may happen, but we expect admins to be able to handle them with level heads and no hard feelings.
• Experience with games and how the systems work. We're not looking for gaming gurus or math wizards, but at least a basic idea of how run-of-the-mill game features (such as battles and crafting) work is a huge plus when it comes to admin selection.
If you're interested in joining the team, look over the positions below to see what you'd like to apply for. Then reply to this journal with this form filled out:
Position(s) of Interest: (you may opt to fill more than one position if you think you have time)
Discord Name/ID#:
Time Zone:
Have you adminned/are you currently adminning for another ARPG group?
Tell us about yourself! (how long have you been in the group, how much time do you think you can offer the group, anything else that may pertain to being an admin!)
Currently looking to fill positions for admins who will be cross-trained in several parts of the group!
]]>“Welcome to the Colour Carnivale!!”
His voice booms over the din. There’s various tents and kiosks set up around what had been a park. If it remains such after the festival is over… well you’ll have to wait to find out.
The ash toa laughs above you, posing dramatically, fanning his feathers out, stretching dramatically.
“We’ve been waiting So Long to meet you all, and we hope you’ve anticipated it as much as we have.”
He leaps backwards suddenly, flipping in mid air to land on another structure--and turns blue--his now stone pelt gleaming in the chilly autumn sun.
“After all… we have much to share with you all…”
WELCOME to the Colour Carnivale!
From now until May 31st 2021 at 11:59PM PST, you will be able to take part in a series of small events for the chance to win exclusive prizes!
Event “week” rollovers are at 11:59PM PST on Sundays, so each event “week” starts on Monday.
For our main event, we have some new starters and genes we’d like to introduce you to!
The main event is the Carnival itself!
Rows upon rows of tents, kiosks, vendors and games fill the previously green space. It looks like someone set off a paint bomb, vibrant colors fill the air and assail the senses. Delicious food smells waft from several of the vendors. Nearly all the races of Velukaelo are here, crowding around the park's pathways. Cheery music can be heard from every which way, folksy tunes that spur listeners to dance. There's events, little plays, and all sorts of merriment all around. Several humans and heldyr dance around with silk banners, akadri beat their hooves against stone, a jordskar plays a drum near the center of the Carnival.
At the far end, you see fair rides. Ferris Wheels, fun houses, armatherium riding! There's even a petting zoo!
There's several drinking and eating contests, various strength testing competitions, and the space has been put together so it's comfortable for ketucari and humanoids alike to explore and partake in.
Draw or write about your ketucari (or humanoid companion) enjoying the carnival!
You may enter this up tofour times total, with up to 4 ketucari/companions per piece.
Minimum Art Requirements: EITHER a full color fullbody with no background (but with some sort of prop) OR a half body with a simple background.
Minimum Literature requirements: 300 words (+50 per ket)
Entries will be counted per piece, not per ket, but including extra ketucari/companions will earn you a small 10 gold reward per ketucari/companions (up to 4) in a piece.
If you do not have your own ketucari, you may use a starter, or you can get permission from another player to borrow one of theirs!
Possible ways to enjoy the carnivale:
-Faire Food!
-Circus!
-Petting Zoo!
-Concerts!
-Faire Games!
-Shopping!
-Flirting
-Sightseeing
-etc.
Rewards:
These mini prompts have lighter requirements.
Up to 4 ketucari.
Minimum Art requirements: (base) Colored sketch, headshot/bust with a prop
Minimum Lit requirements: 100 words (+50 per additional ket)
Collaborations are allowed!
Prompts can be done in “bulk documents/activity sheets” if cleanly labelled and all of the same prompt, up to the maximum number of entries per week per prompt. One doc per prompt per week.
PROMPT 1: Ring Toss!!
: Your ketucari is feeling lucky, before them lies a wheel and a young mysterious woman dressed in a long black hooded cloak, her mismatched eyes sparkle with mirth. “Hello, hello!! I hear you feel lucky today, perhaps so lucky you feel you may even be able to cheat death? Well, we’ll just see about that.” She laughs at what must be an inside joke before smiling at you once more. “This here is a special ring toss, if you can land a ring upon a bottle you will win a very special prize.” She smiles at your eager questions. “What prize? Why, the color of the bottle you land will determine that!”
(Green = Herbal Brew // Blue = Five Random High Tier Herbs // Red = 2 Random Toresul // Yellow = Five Random High Tier Animal Parts )
5 tries a week
PROMPT 2: Fur and Face Paints!!
A happy adolescent akadri decked out in fur dies and paints all along her face grins at you as you pass by. “Hey, hey you now!! Come here, you’re looking a little dull for being in a festival of color!!” She looks sheepish. “Oh no harm meant!! I’m simply saying, perhaps you’d let yourself act as my canvas for a bit? I’ve all these lovely inks and dies, and I’ve been dying to get creative!” She beams. “You would?! Awesome!!”
(Your ketucari subjects themself to this friendly Akadri’s artistic abilities, you are rewarded 3 tattoo ink for your patience.)
**Three times a week**
PROMPT 3: Spin the Wheel!
A massive lilac ryno yawns as he sits beside a colorful wheel with interesting marks on it. He hails you over with a tilt of his antlered skull and wags his tail behind him. “Ho there, step right up, step right up! You look lonely, seeking some company are ya? No no not from me, ‘friad I’m rather spoken for, but you look like you could use a friend. A companion, you could say. Like my pal here.” he lowers his head again, and peeking out from his massive phoenix mane, there’s an… angel hare? “We’s gots all sorts’ve companions runnin’ round lookin’ for some friends. Maybe you could be one? Oh, we gots some other things, too, ‘v course. Just spin the wheel!”
Depict your ketucari spinning the wheel!
70% chance at a pet from a previous event (10% each)
15% chance at bait (5% chance of each tier, will receive 1 of each kind per tier)
10% chance at a cage (randomly selected)
4% chance at random common token from the new markings
1% chance of uncommon token from the new markings.
**3 times a week!**
PROMPT 4: Shyl Maze
You’re passing an unusual towering display of shyl when a silver-and-blue kadin Appears out from it. “Greetings. Would you like to try the hedge maze? We have roses.” she Vanishes back into the maze, the shyl shimmering in pastel rainbows behind her.
Depict your ketucari in the rainbow shyl maze!
50% chance at **Colorful roses**
20% chance at **Trinket: Rose Garland**
20% chance at Common Token
10% chance at Uncommon Token
2 **Colorful Roses** can be turned in for player’s choice of the following:
1 Trinket: Rose Garland [Standard/Ryno]
1 Common Token
Player’s choice of [random color] previous event pet.
**Once per week!**
Nyserr guides you into a (large) tavern that appears to have once been a barn. There, a number of yearlings are hanging around and enjoying themselves.
“Our pack’s resources are starting to get thin and it’s time for the young ones to disperse. Hang around, enjoy yourself. Ha! Maybe you’ll impress one of the kiddos enough that they want to join Your pack when they leave here!”
What this means for you, is that a large number of special kids with the genes have entered the Orphanage!
What does this mean? Well obviously Newbies still get first dibs for their first ketucari, and anyone with a Foundling Amulet can swoop in too, however, as this is a special event; If any of the Colour Carnivale Yearlings remain in the Orphanage after May 31st 11:59 PM PST, they are available for any* user to claim regardless of the number of ketucari that user has at that point. There is a one per person limit however, so no swooping to nab all of the remaining designs.
*Anyone who wins a ketucari from the import raffle is barred from the free-for-all.
Whenever you first put in an event prompt, you will (optionally) be given a ticket for a raffle design made by Anarchisme or IIIXKitsuneXIII !
You can only get one ticket (unless you have no ketucari, then you may get up to Two tickets), and at the end of the event the tickets will be rolled and if you are one of the winners you will be asked to send in a numbered list of your preferences.
There are 9 designs to be won, and one has a special secret!
A player may win one more than one raffle design if all other entrants have won one.
These special imports may not be redesigned except to add genes (if applicable), nor killed off.
If efforts are not made to get KT-2607 breedable and bred within 3 months, a Starter will be made with the same lineage skill.
As a reminder, there is a cooldown between Raids (only a month) and only one Raid can happen in a month, in order to give the admin team proper rest time and the ability to process anything that might be backburnered by there being an Active Raid.
TL;DR
Zone updates resulted in Zone Depletion Rebalancing, Raids should be easier to achieve now.
Beginner Adventures remain 1 adventure and Battles now count for 1 adventure
Medium Adventures now count for 2 towards zone depletion
High/Harsh Adventures now count for 3 towards zone depletion.
Also keep your eyes peeled in the next month, we've got something planned to hopefully help showcase and draw interest to all of the new fauna.
We have a very special slot raffle for you today!
5 lucky winners will take home a slot to Eros, who has the Endearing Display lineage skill! To enter, simply comment on This Thread!
Rules:
Eros will appear again in the future, so if you don't obtain a slot this time, there's always Matchmaker!
]]>Hello and welcome to a small Halloween event!
Each day, a prompt will appear on this journal with a small prize for its completion! Prompts for this event will require just a headshot sketch/100 word lit entry (unless otherwise specified - but anything else will be similarly quick due to the daily entry aspect)! There will not be an additional prize for completing all 7 days, so don't worry if you miss one!
Have a happy, safe, and haunted end of your October!
Each prompt will show up at midnight pacific time on this deviantart journal! Head there to drop off your comments!
The second prompt will show up on Tuesday - the first prompt has appeared early to give folks a bit of extra time to know this is here!
As an extra thank you to everyone and a last round of frights before the great Halloween night, we're offering a BONUS IMPORT RAFFLE for all entrants into the Trick or Treat minievent!
At the first opportunity, please go into "Settings" on your account and add a birthday. This is for security purposes!
Included in these we now have the following!
-Comments on submissions, so that we can stop sending you back to corrections for broken links and other form errors!
-An Expanded bonding bar!
And with the expanded bonding bar we have Another update!
Across the land of Velukaelo, celebrities are common. Ketucari and two-leggers alike slip in and out of the spotlight as easily as breathing. 15 minutes of fame, a lifetime of satisfaction. One ketucari however, has made it clear that she is searching for the next big thing.
Spotlights are reserved for artists and writers who show improvement and effort in their works. Every month or so, admins will scour the art of Ketucari users for Tashtai, searching for an artist or art that catches their attention for improvement. Tashtai will then pick one out if the set and show it off for everyone to see, featuring several of their works!
We will also feature several Quality Roll pieces as well! These will be one piece per artist, but all are incredibly impressive.
Remember that this is judged against your own gallery and skill level. If you're a beginner, you will not be passed over for a quality roll because your art isn't of the same caliber as someone who has been drawing for 10+ years. This would be unfair and that is not our goal! However, we do require that the effort be noticeable as we do not want players abusing this feature. We will be considering things such as anatomy, background quality, and posing for art, and story flow and creativity for literature. We will be lenient with grammar and spelling for those for whom English is not their first language, so don't fret if that's the case!
Artworks featured in Spotlights will be awarded with a Quality Roll.
Quality Rolls on Lorekeeper are somewhat different than their previous incarnations! All Quality Rolls - Spotlights and otherwise - will be granted a chest called Tashtai's Crate, stocked with many various goods from across Velukaelo!
Tashtai seems to have found someone to her liking and she would like to share them with you! Tashtai, would you like to take the floor?
“Thank you. And thank all of you for coming to this spotlight gallery today. I believe I have found this week’s new celebrity. They have put a lot of effort into improving themselves and I’d like to give them a moment of fame.” The buff ketucari steps back and pulls a cord, lifting the curtains from a stunning work.
"IIIXKitsuneXIII has been consistently improving and creating beautiful work for a long while - you've probably seen xir works around! Xe has consistently made stunning works and experimented with different styles to produce amazing pieces. Kitsu also is a fantastic writer, and xir pieces tell amazing stories, whether through literature or visual art.
In their work we see improvement/interest in many areas:
Details: Whether writing or drawing, IIIXKitsuneXIII shows great attention to detail. Many visual pieces show exceptional backgrounds with just enough detail not to be distracting, but still be incredibly eye-catching. Lit pieces are incredibly descriptive about how the characters are feeling and the location they're in. Kitsu's pieces are always a treat for the eye and imagination.
Stylization: Many of IIIXKitsuneXIII's pieces are forays into various styles, and all of them are impressive! It's always attention-grabbing when Kitsu tries something new, and often comes out amazing. Some of the additional examples below show these various styles!
Color and lighting: IIIXKitsuneXIII displays wonderful use of color in xir pieces. Both ketucari and backgrounds are a treat to look at, and lighting is wonderful. Light reflects off of solid objects and ketucari beautifully, and texture is often visible in shading.
I have decorated the gallery with a few others works done by IIIXKitsuneXIII. Make sure to check out their gallery as well! I am sure you will find a favorite just like I have!"
"The wind howled over the lake, crashing its waves against the shore, dispersing the titular mist that normally blanketed the normally ocean-blue waters. The trees snapped and cracked against each other, groaning, screaming protests into the oncoming storm. A massive ryno struggled against the wind, grateful that at least the rain had yet to reach the lake. He pushed through the shelter of a bush and towering fir, shuddering as the wind snatched his fur and yanked back on it. Not to mention the niggling pain between his shoulders… he needed to get to the shore, just get to the path where he… he could regroup there. His family and vassals-- they’d know where to look, certainly?"
The rest of the gallery features various artists' pieces on display, including:
Aftermath, by Chaccra
This is an amazing and dramatic piece - it tells so much in the composition and emotion, and the texture work is amazing!
A Royal Battle, by Noirmori
The limited palette work here is great! All of the kets look amazing in this purple sheen.
You can not have him! by JFJL
The limited use of color in this really makes it stand out, and the detail in this is amazing!
Park Cuddles, by pawstepsinthesnow
The stylization in this is lovely! The texture on the ketucari came out excellent, and the general aesthetic is wonderful.
We'll see you in December with the next feature! Thank you for making so much lovely art for us to enjoy!
]]>We will update you all as Soon as possible about the cause of the error and when we get it fixed. We can confirm that if a transfer is intended for you you will get a notification.
We are so so sorry for the confusion this may have caused. We know at least one character that may have accidentally gone to an admin instead of the intended recipient, which will be remedied as soon as we confirm who the intended recipient of the character was.
UPDATE: THE ERROR HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
All affected characters should now be back in pending, or their transfers fixed so they're with their intended recipient.
Draginraptor has provided the following explanation for what happened:
- It should have only affected active transfers (i.e. transfers that were active before the site update, and new transfers that were made).
- There's a piece of code that updates the details of users involved in transfers whenever a page related to a user is visited (e.g. user profile). Unfortunately there was one specific section that was not updated to be in line with the recent update.
- This old code checked user aliases from the old system to update transfer users in case someone who was originally offsite joined while the transfer was still active. However, after the update, aliases from the old system were cleared after the new system was put in place, so the code would errorneously match NULL aliases from users to NULL aliases in the transfers.
A chill wind rolls across the plains of Messus, and three rynos stand before you.
The Winter Lights, they’re called. Three spiritual devotees--followers of Seijalka, Neve, and Tauratu who have left their homes on a pilgrimage to explore the world. For some reason, wherever the trio travels, the world seems Brighter, with the sun glinting off the snow more than it should, or the night sky igniting with colors.
The Winter Lights are looking for new homes. Will they find yours?
IMPORT RAFFLE
There are three imports being raffled off this year, and entry is simple! The characters found in these ketucari’s profiles are optional to keep.
Brynhild - Former devotee of Seijalka, believed to have been born from an Aurora. Has been maintaining a shrine to Seijalka on Aegrus for several years, but has passed the torch on to a new devotee and is off on a pilgrimage to explore the world.
Chorus - A former follower of Neve, the Goddess of Joy. They travelled with her until recently, due to the aura of joy and contentment that surrounded her. Chorus is enraptured by winter and the light displays of the season.
Solfrid - An orphan found and taken in by Tauratu and Seijalka who admires the Winter King to this day. Solfrid seeks to follow in Tauratu’s pawsteps and bring joy and goodwill to the people of Velukaelo who may otherwise be without during the holidays.
How to Enter:
Draw or Write about your ketucari (or a starter!) interacting with the ketucari you’re entering for.
The piece must meet minimum requirements for the number of ketucari portrayed (both at 50% visibility, or 600+words). These pieces can be rolled as Adventures, Tarns, or Skill Unlocks for the interacting ketucari, but Not for the raffle ketucari. As such, these may take place anywhere in Velukaelo!
These pieces may later be used by the raffle ketucari for bonding (with the original artist’s permission)!
Each piece only counts for One of the three Lights of Winter, though more than one can be portrayed. You may enter for more than one ketucari, but only win one.
Comment below with your piece and which ketucari you’re entering for.
New owners will be rolled Dec 31th, 12PM Pacific Time.
Admins may not enter for the geno they personally designed, but may enter for the other two.
Each ketucari comes with an unapplied Light Blessing for their new owners to design as they please. PSDs will be made available to the winners. This Light Blessing does not count against either of the two that a ketucari can learn, meaning Brynhild, Chorus, and Solfrid may have a possible total of Three Elemental Blessings if a nature scroll is applied to them.
Names should be kept as at least a nickname for the ketucari even if lore is not maintained.
These ketucari are not allowed to be redesigned or sold.
SLOT RAFFLE
In the northern-most reaches of Aegrus, deep in the heart of Kanibar, a strange ketucari has been seen. She glows with an ephemeral light and is happy to greet any strangers she may come across.
She carries the blessing of her adoptive father Seijalka. Her name is Firn and she’s eager to spend time with the mortals of the world.
Firn is the new starter for Winter’s Breath!
Beginning this year, Firn will be appearing in the Kanibar Snowfields every December to seek companionship from other ketucari.
You may only win one slot, which will come with the following restrictions.
-Firn slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.
-For these Year 2021 slots, breeding with a ketucari who has Tauratu KT-632 / Tauratu 631 on their visible lineage will count as Inbreeding.
Entry is simple:
-Comment [here] stating you wish to enter the raffle
-You may acquire +1 ticket by drawing or writing about [Firn]. Requirements are a colored sketch or 300 words. Include this in your initial comment or reply to your own original comment with the link.
-You may also acquire +1 ticket IF you joined the group in 2021 OR +2 if you joined in December 2021.
-You may also acquire +1 ticket for advertising the Event and the group in a Status, Journal, or Poll. Link for confirmation.

***A great thick poison fog that has seemingly forever covered a massive area of the western sea has started to lift, curious sailors and bystanders approach on boat, shocked to find an entirely new land!!
You join the first ships of curious onlookers approaching the docks, a pretty seaport village lays before you, you gaze in awe at the gorgeous lands around you, and...wait, ABOVE YOU?! Looking up one can in fact see hundreds of floating islands, some massive, some small, all incredibly impressive and seemingly held up by nothing!
> ZOLKANIS <
Waterfalls cascade down from many of the islands, falling into shimmering freshwater lakes below. The lands underneath are vast gorgeous valleys of vibrant wildflowers and shrubbery, a few scattered trees can be seen among the rolling floral hills, in the distance your eyes fall upon the shimmering mirage like salt flats that scatter about the beautiful lands.
Flocks of gorgeous feathered beasts circle above, releasing gentle birdsong into the air, you can see now just how filled with LIFE this strange new world is. Huge horned beasts graze among the lowlands as tiny raptor-like avians perch atop their backs. It’s beautiful, and entirely new.
You’re so busy staring at what's around you that you don’t notice the small strange figure in front of you until she’s practically shouting for your attention. “Hey! There you are, jeez, I know it's pretty but it's rude not to say hello you know! Especially in the presence of divinity!” She grins at your look of confusion, a gentle laugh coming from her. “Don’t worry you’ll meet them soon!” She beams and you finally get the chance to REALLY look at her. She’s small, but very much ketucari like in scent and appearance, she almost reminds you of Danuoc, but smaller…and ketified, and very fluffy.
“Oh! I can see you staring, that’s also kinda rude you know? But I don’t mind, it's probably a lot to take in huh? Well it’s a good thing I’m here! I’m Aira! Or Ai...whichever you prefer! I’m the ambassador of this land, what land you may ask? Why Zolkanis of course!” She darts around you excitedly, seemingly filled with energy. “I’m a ketucari like you, but I was made from Danuoc, just like Ryno has made ketucari from herself, you’d be surprised how many of us are here!” She notes your look of confusion. “Oh, well, you’re probably wondering why we’re here huh?”
A look of sadness crosses her face. “A very long time ago, the wars threatened to wipe our kind from Velukaelo, so Danuoc gathered us all up and brought us here, to her best friend, the domain guardian of this zone, Igyera. They promised Danuoc that they would protect us no matter what, and then cast their poison fog in a barrier outside the land, protecting us until Danuoc felt it was safe once more for us to be free.”
She looks thoughtful. “She asked me to act as an ambassador for you all, to welcome you to these wonderful lands and answer any questions you might have about us all!!” She smiles, her tail flicking. “Follow me!! We have a huge journey ahead of us!”
Welcome to Zolkanis! The New Zone of Velukaelo, home of the danuoc build ketucari!
There are many events to discover here including the chance for a danuoc ket to join you in your future adventures. Follow Aira as she leads you around this wild new world!
---
Greeting Igyera: Enter Here
Aira encourages you to say hello to the domain guardian Igyera. As you follow her you see a massive avian like beast, with not one, but TWO heads. Their gaze lands on you and their wings stretch contentedly. “Hello stranger, welcome to our lands, you are welcome here as long as you cause no troubles.” The first head speaks, their voice soft and melodic. “Please take this gift as a show of our good faith, and please be sure to have fun and spread the word to your friends!” The second head speaks in a deeper more boisterous tone, before handing you the gift they pull from the satchel by their feet. You thank them before following Aira to the next event.
Task: Depict your ketucari meeting Igyera, this can be a doodle or 200 word blurb of them interacting with the domain guardian, the doodle must depict at least 50% of Igyera.

Newfound Friends (Danuoc Ketucari Import Raffle)

They would love to get to know you and show you some of our coolest sights! Who knows, if they like you enough they may just decide to come home with you!” She winks, allowing you to introduce yourself.

(**Aira’s owner will not be using these images for bonding or themes to make things fair! This is simply a way to earn more prizes!**)
At the end of the event the winners will be rolled and the Danuoc kets will be written over, names and personality are allowed to be changed, however the design can not be changed, the winners can not sell the won danuoc ket, only trade, the won danuoc kets can NOT be deceased, they must be given back to the group or traded instead.

Across the land of Velukaelo, celebrities are common. Ketucari and two-leggers alike slip in and out of the spotlight as easily as breathing. 15 minutes of fame, a lifetime of satisfaction. One ketucari however, has made it clear that she is searching for the next big thing.
Spotlights are reserved for artists and writers who show improvement and effort in their works. Every month or so, admins will scour the art of Ketucari users for Tashtai, searching for an artist or art that catches their attention for improvement. Tashtai will then pick one out if the set and show it off for everyone to see, featuring several of their works!
We will also feature several Quality Roll pieces as well! These will be one piece per artist, but all are incredibly impressive.
Remember that this is judged against your own gallery and skill level. If you're a beginner, you will not be passed over for a quality roll because your art isn't of the same caliber as someone who has been drawing for 10+ years. This would be unfair and that is not our goal! However, we do require that the effort be noticeable as we do not want players abusing this feature. We will be considering things such as anatomy, background quality, and posing for art, and story flow and creativity for literature. We will be lenient with grammar and spelling for those for whom English is not their first language, so don't fret if that's the case!
Artworks featured in Spotlights will be awarded with a Quality Roll.
Quality Rolls on Lorekeeper are somewhat different than their previous incarnations! All Quality Rolls - Spotlights and otherwise - will be granted a chest called Tashtai's Crate, stocked with many various goods from across Velukaelo!
Tashtai seems to have found someone to her liking and she would like to share them with you! Tashtai, would you like to take the floor?
“Thank you. And thank all of you for coming to this spotlight gallery today. I believe I have found this week’s new celebrity. They have put a lot of effort into improving themselves and I’d like to give them a moment of fame.” The buff ketucari steps back and pulls a cord, lifting the curtains from a stunning work.
"@PencilPavlova (also known as Unarla) has been consistently improving and creating beautiful work for a long while - you've doubtlessly seen their work throughout the group's history, always immediately recognizeable by their distinctive and unique character designs. Watching them work out new characters and play with shapes and color is always a treat! They also have excellent writing abilities, particularly in comics!
In their work we see improvement/interest in many areas:
Individualization: One of the best traits in @PencilPavlova's works is how unique everything is. Their character designs are unique, certainly, but the little details that Pav puts into their backgrounds, the grasses in the sand in Sunye, the little flowers in the Illahaesa Mountains, it's clear that Pav puts a lot of thought and attention into how to build a scene and make it more than just a generic setting.
Color and lighting: Two words: Unified palettes. @PencilPavlova does such gorgeous work with palettes and making a scene cohesive that even the occasional non-story piece from Pav is such a treat to look at with everything looking like it belongs in the same piece. As exemplified in the comic page above, Pav is also excellent at using rim-lighting .
Character and Emotion: @PencilPavlova has made multiple admins cry with the Furcifer and Daramos plot. We grew to love these characters and then Pav made them cry and then we cried with them and it was wonderful and I really don't have better words for this because I don't wish to spoil their stories more than this comic page already has. Pav is so good at character writing and making us care about these characters and portraying the emotion the character is feeling through either their expression or the scenery and lighting.
I have decorated the gallery with a few others works done by @PencilPavlova. Make sure to check out their gallery as well! I am sure you will find a favorite just like I have!"
The rest of the gallery features various artists' pieces on display, including:
Bottled Lightning, by ZooofAlexandria
The dramatic lighting in his piece and the dynamic poses are just a delight to look at.
Lending a Claw by CeriMond / Kushiel
The emotion in this piece and all of the little details on Nanai show how much Kush has improved in the last year. Nanai looks so peaceful.
Sea Bird Hunt by Wormbie
So much motion, so much detail, the textures, the colors, the bright sun! It feels like something out of a storybook.
Harvest by @dragonoxide
The colors and details, particularly the details in the shading and on the groundstreak, and in Raptor's frill, are just lovely, and despite standing still the pose is powerful and dynamic.
We've realized the group just doesn't have quite enough activity for monthly Spotlights, so we will be striving for a 2-3 month model, based on activity levels and admin availability to write up the posts!
That said, we hope to see you all in April with our next spotlight! Thank you everyone for making this group a joy to be in!
We hope you all had fun in Zolkanis! Zolkanis itself is NOW OPEN TO ACTIVITIES! We hope you enjoy it!
Zone Objectives are now open for Zolkanis, as well, with a shiny new BG available as soon as I figure out where the other admins put it!
Matchmaker was a hit as always!
Season 3 of The Wanderer Slot Raffle has begun! The previous Wanderers have been handed out to their new owners!
With Season 3 of the Wanderers, we are introducing Three new feather types!
Please say hello to Lucerne, Nicobar, and Jacobin!
PSDs should be available later in March or by late April, unfortunately due to various irl circumstances Rynos have not yet been given the new feathers and we would prefer not to prematurely release them on the other builds.
Due to some last minute delays, the Antikutan Raid will be delayed by a day or two while we get the journal set up.
Important QOL updates for everyone:
Mixed roll types are now permitted. Please see the adventuring guide for more information.
A Horn Pack specifically for Danuocs is in the works, courtessy of the tireless efforts by pawstepsinthesnow working to redraw the horns so they actually fit on the Danuoc base. This will be released as soon as it is completed.
We would also like to remind players both new and old of some of our less used features such as:
-Elemental Blessings at the Tarn
-Packs!
-Zone and Player Objectives
-Titles!
]]>
Antikutan’s resources have been depleted, and Guro has risen to defend the land! Does your ketucari have what it takes to help bring down the Guardian of Antikutan? Be sure to read up on Raids to see how to participate!
-Guro has been defeated! As a reminder, everyone has until Midnight tonight (March 10/2022) PST to submit raid entries!
-Sensing he's near the end, Guro gets a second wind and redoubles his attack efforts!
-Strategic Planning has been used and may not activate again this raid- Everyone's next attacks will deal double damage
Support Tier: Tier 3
Pieces until next support tier: 15/15
With this being the first raid we've done in a while-- and our first trial of our final iteration of raids-- we will have a few unique protocols in place to keep the fun going, as well as a few general reminders! Firstly, keep in mind this raid, like all raids, will last a maximum of 1 month! You are free to enter ketucari at any point in the raid. There is no signup deadline! Regardless of Guro’s health, the raid will last for at least one week. Since the raid boss has a set health this go around, there is a possibility that admins will adjust their health as needed. We will notify the group if so.
We are also launching starter leasing for raids!
-Anyone with 3 or less "battle ready" ketucari may lease 1-2 starters to use in the raid.
- "Battle ready" means the ketucari has at least one battle skill, so if you have 4 uploaded ketucari but only two have battle skills, you will still qualify.
- To lease a starter you simply need to make a colored headshot or bust of the starter you wish to lease, or write 100+ words about them learning about the raid, wanting to help, etc, and link that piece when signing up for the raid. They will then join your team for the duration of the raid!
-When signing up for the raid please include a loadout of 4 skills for the starter you're using. These 4 skills must all be of the same attunement and should match the attunement listed on the starter's import.
-The skills chosen can be any 4 skills in the starter's attunement and these are the four skills the starter will be able to use in battle.
-Alternatively, a starter may be used as a medic instead of a fighter and in that case you will just list cauterize as their skill loadout.
-When submitting for prizes at the end of the raid starters will count as elder but will not earn titles.
-Starters are first come first serve and the same starter cannot be used by multiple people.
The boss we will be battling is the marvellous Guro! You can read more about him on his Pantheon page.
Guro, like all of Velukaelo's deities can shift size at will! They could be as big as a mountain, or as small as your ketucari! 50% of their form must be visible (This can be mostly tentacles if you like!) Guro’ Attacks If you need some inspiration, you may depict Guro using one of their special attacks against your ketucari! Guro is a Greheli user and often uses their magic to adjust the area around them.
Sandstorm - ‘Guro kicks up a massive sandstorm, blinding your ketucari. Their dexterity is lowered for the next 2 turns’ This *CAN* stack!
Constrict - Guro snatches your ketucari up in one tentacle. They miss their turn and take damage!
'Devour' - Guro's stomach opens up and tentacles surround you, trying to pull you in. Getting out will be tricky!
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
You may submit 1 raid piece for your fighters and medic per day for the first two weeks of the raid. If the raid extends beyond 2 weeks, the submission limit will be lifted and you can submit as many pieces as you like.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari engaging in the battle. The boss should play a role in the story.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading. The boss must be at least 50% visible.
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Fighter or Raid- Medic prompts on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece.

You are allowed to enter one support ketucari if you have fighters/medics already participating in the raid. If you have no fighters/medics, you may participate with up to four support ketucari.

Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari gathering resources (gathering food, healing herbs, wood, etc.) to help with the battle.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading.
What your ketucari is doing is up to you! Are they collecting wood or herbs to assist the raid? Using magic to allow enhance or protect the fighters? Keep in mind however, that your ketucari should not be depicted battling the boss or healing the fighters (as that falls under fighter/medic participation), and it should be clear that your ketucari is supporting the raid. In other words, no showing off your magic in an empty field!
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Support prompt on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece. A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a link to both their DA import and ketucari.com import included.

Please note: To qualify for raid loot you need to have participated in the raid and submitted a minimum of either 3 sketch pieces and/or 3 100 word entries, OR at least 1 fully rendered (meets group requirements) piece of art or lit.

The 1 battle, 1 support per day limit is still in place.
Thank you everyone for your participation in the Raid, and we hope to see your continued participation in the Raid and the group! The Raid will officially Close and rewards will be handed out from the 16th onward.
The Ilahaesa Mountains' resources have been depleted, and Kalet has risen to defend her land! Does your ketucari have what it takes to help bring down the Guardian of the Ilahaesa Mountains? Be sure to read up on raids to see how to participate!
Firstly, keep in mind this raid, like all raids, will last a maximum of 1 month! You are free to enter ketucari at any point in the raid. There is no signup deadline!
Regardless of Kalet's health, the raid will last for at least two weeks.
Since the raid boss has a set health this go around, there is a possibility that admins will adjust her health as needed. We will notify the group if so.
The boss we will be battling is the majestic Kalet! You can read more about her on her Pantheon page. Kalet's Attacks If you need some inspiration, you may depict Kalet using one of her special attacks against your ketucari!
What a Headache: Kalet disorients you with a swift smack to the head. Which way is up again?! Your dexterity has been lowered by half for the next attack!
Karma's Got Claws: Karma is usually about balance, but this time Kalet doesn’t care how good you are, your constant attacks have left her no choice but to show just what her claws can do!
Here Kitty Kitty: Kalet has had enough of your taunting, she pounces upon you with all her strength. That's gonna leave a mark!
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
You may submit 1 raid piece for your fighters and medic per day for the first two weeks of the raid. If the raid extends beyond 2 weeks, the submission limit will be lifted and you can submit as many pieces as you like.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari engaging in the battle. The boss should play a role in the story.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading. The boss must be at least 50% visible.
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Fighter or Raid- Medic prompts on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece.
A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a form from below attached with their actions, as well as a link to both their DA import and Ketucari site import.

If you have multiple supports entered you can swap which support(s) is used or include them all, but they must be the same ones listed when signing up.
You must own the ketucari you use in the raid. No leasing is allowed.
You are allowed to enter one support ketucari if you have fighters/medics already participating in the raid. If you have no fighters/medics, you may participate with up to four support ketucari.
Support pieces can count as an adventure once the zone reopens as long as they meet adventure requirements.
Raid pieces may not be commissioned.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY PIECES:
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari gathering resources (gathering food, healing herbs, wood, etc.) to help with the battle.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading.
What your ketucari is doing is up to you! Are they collecting wood or herbs to assist the raid? Using magic to allow enhance or protect the fighters? Keep in mind however, that your ketucari should not be depicted battling the boss or healing the fighters (as that falls under fighter/medic participation), and it should be clear that your ketucari is supporting the raid. In other words, no showing off your magic in an empty field!
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Support prompt on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece. A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a link to both their DA import and ketucari.com import included.

You can now obtain the codecies via the legacy store or legendary item swaps.
Our new items are:
Cooking
Divine Wine - Can be used to resurrect cubs while on cooldown for resurrection, resetting the cooldown in the process.
Engineering
EVA Toolkit - Allows your ketucari to adventure in any zones they don't have the skills for, though it doesn't give them any treasure chest rolls linked to skills they don't have.
Surgical Suite - Can change the sex of an uploaded ketucari.
Personal Radar - Renders a ketucari immune to KOs in a specific zone, specified on equipping.
Alchemy
Bottled Glamour - Allows for a number of odd and unnatural effects to be applied to one of a ketucari's genes, or even (with the sacrifice of the proper token) display a gene your ketucari doesn't actually have! It's pretty complex, so there's a miniguide for it: https://ketucari.com/info/glamour
Additionally, we have one new non-legendary crafting item, the Stoplight Stuffed Peppers (cooking). This can be applied to an unuploaded genotype during design approval to change the base coat family to one of your choice. The actual genotype string for your newly specified coat will be assigned by an admin.
We also now have a beginner tier armor set that can be crafted without an advanced armorsmith! It's called "cloth armor", and is meant to give folks starting out a leg up. As an added bonus to help compensate for its low armor value, it acts as either an infinite-use Energy Shield or infinite-use Night Vision Goggles for the equipped ketucari, depending on what's used to make it. Cloth armor made with bamboo and/or herbs allows access to Antikutan, and cloth armor made with glass allows access to the Gusting Caverns.
As a side note, there's an event coming down the pipe (likely next month) with a heavy emphasis on breeding. If you've got any ketucari you want to get breedable before then, we reccomend starting work on it now! (Please get hyped or I'll cry :P)
-Sian
But a murmur travels among those who assembled: "That was fun. Maybe we should do it again sometime?"
Thank you, sincerely, to all of you who participated. As an admin of both groups, it really delighted me seeing how many folks came out of the woodwork for our little festival. I hope you'll stick around!
Now for a piece of more serious news: Due to a family crisis, our dear group owner ASimpleMoon is taking a leave of absence. In the meantime, I, pawstepsinthesnow, and my partner in crime IIIXKitsuneXIII, will be filling her shoes until such a time as she can return. This is not affecting species ownership or group rights-- Moon has simply deputized us to act in her stead while she focuses on things in the physical world. Those of you in the Discord probably have noticed we've temporarliy taken on the group admin role, but I wanted to give a heads-up to site-only folks as well.
The third update: deviantArt has made changes that makes it impossible to edit any journals that have custom skins applied. This has affected several aspects of the group that were still on dA, especially the Orphanage-- I chatted with our illustrious sitedev Draginraptor to enable a few features, and am currently in progress of migrating several dA functions fully onto ketucari.com. I'll make sure to keep you posted on progress. Transferring the Orphanage is currently our top priority-- things have been slowed down to complications with my health, but I'm working as hard as I can to make sure all functions of the group are available again. Thank you for your patience!

]]>As many of you have heard, our group owned ASimpleMoon is going through a family emergency. The short version is that she and her mother are currently escaping an extremly toxic home environment by moving, and are coming up a little bit short on money for necessities.
With her permission, we've decided to host a flash sale for her, so that she and her mother can get out and stay on their feet while getting out.
This fundraiser is seeking $400 USD. Any extra will be used towards ensuring Moon's safety and the future of the group.
SIDE NOTE: Be aware that replies confirming purchases may be slightly delayed, as the admin in charge of the sale will be at work for the majority of it (RIP). Please allow 24-48 hours for confirmation.
BONUS: For any purchase worth $20 or more, Moon is offering headshots of any ketucari or rixixi of the buyer's choice.
The end date of this sale will be October 5th at 11:59 PM PST.

]]>It's called the Eldritch jaw, and it comes with some lovely hanging tendrils and a little eye! For 3 months, as long as you're not changing anything else about the design, you can change your Ketucari's jaw type to Eldritch for free (without a minor redesign token needed)!

(Kaur is mad about festivity by Anarchisme)
Once more Suadriga emerges from the far north to bring joy and merriment to those who have survived another year.
And this time, he brought a Feast!
However, to partake in the feast, you must do well unto your neighbor! What does that mean?
Gifts.
So many Gifts.
For Twelve Days, he will be handing out presents.
You may enter for each present only once, and only on the day that it is being offered.
How do you receive a gift?
By giving one!
The requirements are simple!
Your minimum requirements are a colored headshot OR 100 words.
The catch? The ketucari CANNOT belong to you. No using Co-owns to get around this.
Your headshots may be sketchy, you may INCLUDE your own ketucari, but the focus should be on the recipient.
To account for this, we asked the lovely Draginraptor to fix up our Gift Art settings! They are now fully searchable, gift writing settings are now actually visible, and you can now set your gift setting en-masse if you want specific default settings!
There's one more catch to your gifts, however, in the spirit of trying to include everyone, and that is: You CANNOT gift to the same person two days in a row.
If you want to spoil your bestie rotten, that's fine! But every other day you have to share the love.
You may also only gift to a Starter once (unless additional Starters are Player-Owned Wanderers).
That said, our community has gotten scattered since Deviant Art started to pull its bullcrap. As such, this will be our FIRST event hosted through the site.
We have a wonderful new gallery feature. If you use it, please make sure you submit to the Winter gallery!
For anyone hosting their images outside of the site gallery, Please do be sure to share your art on [THIS THREAD] to ensure your recipient sees it!
Entering for even just 1 day enters you into the Holiday Ketucari Raffle!

As per tradition, some new friends have come to join the festivities! Tailing after Saudriga this time, we suggest you take care eating too close to them: we hear these plants aren't particularly friendly to the stomach.
When you post your entry, please say whether or not you are joining the raffle!
As a reminder, free raffle ketucari cannot be sold for real ife money.
These ketucari are elligible for 1 free Nature Blessing!
This year there is NO limitation on who can enter for Firn slots! It doesn't matter how many Tauratu children or slots you may or may not have, or even if you own Tauratu yourself, you're welcome to enter for Firn's raffle!
This year Five Firn slots will be raffled!
Simply comment [Here] to enter for Firn Slots!

We are planning a group fundraiser to pay for things like the Haunt's Core, Super Group, and our website's server hosting. Any extra made by the sale will be used for group improvemet.
The Planned time of this Fundraiser is March/April.
The Sale and prices will be identical to the Flash Sale [https://ketucari.com/news/34.flash-fundraiser] from a few months ago, and barring any other admin emergencies will likely be the last Group sale for a While.
More details will be made available closer to the sale, but this is just to let everyone know so that we don't blind-side you all! We hope to see you there!

Eros has returned! This beautiful ketucari is back in the spirit of love! He brings with him the Endearing Display lineage skill!
Slot rules:
You may only win one slot, which will come with the following restrictions.
-Eros slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.
All people who make an entry will also be entered in this bonus raffle (you may opt out by saying so in your comment)
The winners of the raffle will win a Full slot to Eros
Three slots total will be raffled off
The raffle will be rolled on February 15th, after all entries have been turned in
Winning an Eros slot will not affect the cub you receive or pairing in the main part of the event
Everyone is eligible for this slot raffle, regardless of if you've had a slot to an endearing display ket before
You MAY win both an Eros slot and a Sun Disk if you're lucky
Down below you will find forms and threads for different kinds of alternate forms or references.
This is OPT IN, except for Chromata alts we will not host your images here by default. From here forward however, places like the Hoard and WaLoS threads will ask if you want the alternate image hosted on site.
When using this thread we ask that you provide a downloadable copy of the reference image, or images, for your ketucari.
Threads will be created shortly. Thank you for your time and patience.
This News Post is _NOT_ to be used to _Add_ Shift forms to your ketucari. At this time that is still done through the Hoard.
Threads:
Humanoid/Animal Shift Forms (Acquired from Darhaskos's Talismans, Small Flip Coins, and the Annual "What a Load of Shift" events)
God/Mythical Shift Forms (Acquired through Large Flip Coins and occasionally raffled kets)
Itemless Reference Images
"Other Side" reference images (subject to very light design approval: essentially if nothing is glaringly illegal it's probably fine)
Unofficial reference images
Additionally, the Harbinger titles this time go to Evermore KT-1638, Feel It Still KT-2453, and Saturn KT-1255, for the following piece! Anarchisme and ASimpleMoon, redeem at Titles and How to Earn Them!
Effective immediately, a new quest is available over on Elder Island!
As of now, you can take Renowned ketucari and give them a full-body makeover by changing their feather type!
As with The Inner You this quest costs stats and sacred items, but it takes fewer steps other than reaching Renowned.
We hope everyone enjoys it =3
Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari!
There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots.
Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard.
You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month.
Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.
Entries cannot double-dip into multiple raffles unless stated otherwise. Noted exceptions are the Annual WaLoS Raffle, and the Annual Eros and Firn slot raffles. Any other Event Raffles are a "no" unless stated otherwise.
This includes the raffles and draw to adopts in other species.
This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:
-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" (or any other pronoun) in a way that deprives the character of personhood
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
-entries using the character as a vessel to insult other characters, players, admins, or other species
]]>
As I'm sure many have noticed, our activity on Deviant Art itself has dropped to almost zero. Those outside the discord have probably not seen much from us either which we apologize for. We might have a bit of a record of forgetting news updates, but we're hoping to have a monthly one during roll-over from here forward, at least to update things like the Monthly Bounty, announce Wanderer Slot winners and group events and such.
Thing is that that's been made all but impossible on DeviantArt. All news has resultingly been confined to ketucari.com and the discord server. And... honestly, that's not likely to change. We are moving away from DeviantArt as much as humanly possible.
All future events and news will be Here, on Ketucari.com
Why? Well, the short version is that DeviantArt has made itself hostile to the artists it claims to support and protect. We have documented evidence that they have been dishonest about DreamUp. They continue to ignore Groups, make DeviantArt as unfriendly to its users as it can be, and generally make life unpleasant for everyone on dA. Things like Sta.sh comments not giving notifications anymore, the deletion of notifications more than a year old which makes it hard to hold onto genos and breeding slot proofs, us not really having a way to notify users on dA about anything because we can't post journals FROM the group anymore.
So. We're slowly trying to move the entire group to ketucari.com.
All the future news updates? They're going to be here. If you aren't regularly checking ketucari.com for news we highly highly recommend that you start, because our dA news updates will be tapering off.
Events are fully ported to the site. All activities and events are here now, we have our own gallery, even!
The Orphanage is halfway ported. We have frameworks in place for a number of other features.
We're still in discussing how to port things like Packs and the Pack Hoard. We're making progress on that with Raptor's help.
So it's a long, slow, and very work intensive project, and things are frankly going to suck in the interim. We're currently split between two sites and as a result, one site flourishes while the other's kinda been left behind.
Which we Do apologize for. It's unfair that we've neglected the DeviantArt users, and we will try to do better when and where we can. But also, if you haven't moved to ketucari.com yet... you're going to need to to continue playing ketucari. We're sorry. It sucks, we know.
And in the meantime: It's really really difficult to put ketucari news on deviantart. Groups can't post journals anymore because you know, why would a group need a central location to update its members? Not everyone follows matriarchs-haunt so we can't just put news there, dA made navigating your notification feed a crapshoot based on how it's set up and if you're on mobile or not and frankly we've been at a loss on it for over a year.
However, more presently and in much happier news!
With the release of Wanderers Season 4 we have new genes out!
Specifically we have:
Color Mofifier: Ghost!
Color Mutations: Maltese and Sunwashed

Thank you everyone in advance for supporting the group and allowing us to continue developing this awesome community!
]]>So after some discussion we decided that the fairest way to handle this is to ask players who own Undesigned Liatris Cubs from breedings rolled Prior to March 19, 2023 to post here with proof of ownership to specifically have a simple 1-100 RNG run through Random.org to see if they get Tint. Edited genos will be posted back into the thread. The error has been fixed and any breedings rolled after March 19, 2023, will not have this reroll available.
This is Opt In. No other genes on the cubs will be touched or rerolled, and if you don't mind the lack of Tint you are not required to post!
This thread will be open indeffinitely, and all current owners of Liatris cubs will be contacted to inform them of this option.
Thank you for your understanding!
Post HERE to receive your rerolls, please only post one breeding per comment!
Form:
**Breeding**: [here]
**Cub Numbers**: [exclude any who are already uploaded, or who you don't want rerolled]
The Plains of Messus' resources have been depleted, and Danuoc has risen to defend her land! Does your ketucari have what it takes to help bring down the Guardian of the Plains of Messus? Be sure to read up on raids to see how to participate!
Firstly, keep in mind this raid, like all raids, will last a maximum of 1 month! You are free to enter ketucari at any point in the raid. There is no signup deadline!
Regardless of Danuoc's health, the raid will last for at least two weeks.
Since the raid boss has a set health this go around, there is a possibility that admins will adjust her health as needed. We will notify the group if so.
Pack Weapons are newly active as of this raid! Pack weapons can be activated if at least one player with a raid-entered ketucari in a pack depicts their ketucari and at least one other pack member interacting with weapons in some way (brandishing them, carrying them, setting them up, etc). Once Pack Weapons have been activated, humanoid forms get a 20% damage boost and missed attacks have a 50% chance to be corrected (doom is simply rerolled instead of having a 50% chance to be fixed)
The boss we will be battling is the majestic Danuoc! You can read more about her on her Pantheon page.
Danuoc's Attacks
If you need some inspiration, you may depict Danuic using one of her special attacks against your ketucari!
War Dance: After taking the fight to the land, Danuoc leaps around in confusing movements before suddenly pouncing on you.
Raging Rapids: Danuoc drags you by the tail into the rapids of her river, swinging you against river rocks like a ragdoll!
Death Roll:Danuoc grabs you in her jaws and drags you underwater before spinning around violently!
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
You may submit 1 raid piece for your fighters and medic per day for the first two weeks of the raid. If the raid extends beyond 2 weeks, the submission limit will be lifted and you can submit as many pieces as you like.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari engaging in the battle. The boss should play a role in the story.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading. The boss must be at least 50% visible.
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Fighter or Raid- Medic prompts on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece.
A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a form from below attached with their actions, as well as a link to both their DA import and Ketucari site import.
For Fighters:
Import Link:
Bonuses:
Skill 1/Potion Used:
Skill 2:
Skill 3:
If using a skill that allows for more than one attack, include your additional moves here should it land:
Skill 4:
Skill 5:
For Medics:

Bonuses:
1st Ketucari Healed/Potion Used:
2nd Ketucari Healed/Potion Used:
Submitting support entries:
Each player may submit one support piece a day, and it must feature the same ketucari every time.
If you have multiple supports entered you can swap which support(s) is used or include them all, but they must be the same ones listed when signing up.
You must own the ketucari you use in the raid. No leasing is allowed.
You are allowed to enter one support ketucari if you have fighters/medics already participating in the raid. If you have no fighters/medics, you may participate with up to four support ketucari.
Support pieces can count as an adventure once the zone reopens as long as they meet adventure requirements.
Raid pieces may not be commissioned.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY PIECES:
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.
Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari gathering resources (gathering food, healing herbs, wood, etc.) to help with the battle.
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading.
What your ketucari is doing is up to you! Are they collecting wood or herbs to assist the raid? Using magic to allow enhance or protect the fighters? Keep in mind however, that your ketucari should not be depicted battling the boss or healing the fighters (as that falls under fighter/medic participation), and it should be clear that your ketucari is supporting the raid. In other words, no showing off your magic in an empty field!
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Support prompt on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece. A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a link to both their DA import and ketucari.com import included.
See the Raid Info page for examples of the minimum requirements and the bonuses that can be gained by using shift forms in battle (You can click the sentence to go there)

We've amped up the celebration for this year!
Baker here is our new Pride starter - a gay man himself, he's excited to join in the celebration! He's happy to make your acquaintaince! Baker carries the Sun's Gift lineage skill:
-Baker slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.
The discord's already been informed, but due to some weirdness on dA, we very hastily needed to port Design Approvals to ketucari.com
This was already planned to happen as part of our ongoing efforts to remove ourselves from Deviant Art, but has been forced to happen ahead of schedule.
To explain what caused this abrupt change: The Design Approval journal was forcibly flagged as Mature, with no way for us to undo it and no contact from DeviantArt to the Haunt informing us or giving us a chance to fix whatever was wrong, and thus far no response to the ticket about it. We discovered it was flagged by chance when Anar tried to view the journal while logged out. So far, no other journals are affected that we are aware of at this time, but if you find one please tell an admin via Notes or DMs immediately.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of moving off dA... this does mean that Design Approvals now requires a ketucari.com account. We had hoped to be able to give more warning about this, but deviantart forced our hand.
A larger news post about the migration off of deviant art is coming Soon.
]]>
We have drinks, streamers, sparklers, and aliens, no matter which world you’re celebrating on! The denizens of Velukaelo and those of the Chasm-Connected worlds have been aware of each other for years, and our celebration is back and better than ever!
While Ketucari and Rixixi have had relationships every now and again, something new has started to spring up - a hybrid species referred to as the Ketixi! With the help of B-NOMALY mechanic Steele and expert engineer Kenkasei, the B-NOMALY’s breeding safety machine was altered with tarn water to safely join the genes of Rixixi and Ketucari while filtering out all sorts of possible issues. While it is possible to create a Ketixi naturally, it is rare, so we recommend use of the machine!
Something else new has cropped up again - with further experiments to the breeding safety machine, Ketucari and B-NOMALIES have been able to hybridize into what passes as a bipedal companion on Velukaelo and a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm! KETU-NOMALIES stand mostly bipedally, and have a few K-NOM specific traits such as Godkiller Face and Godkiller Hands due to their heritage!
Other Feather Types: Bald | Fantail | Frizzle | Harpy | Jacobin | Lucerne | Nicobar | Phoenix | Silkie
A hybrid of Ketucari and Rixixi, Ketixi are bulky, muscular quadrupeds. Appearing similar to a combination of a Primal subspecies of Rixixi and a Ketucari no matter their actual Rixixi heritage, they primarily stand on four legs, but can walk in a bipedal stance for a short time, similar to ursines. Much like Rixixi, the Ketixi breathes through a vent system, visible on their sides. Much like Ketucari, they have a combination of fur and feathers covering their body, and their frill - both spiked and leathery as well as covered in feathers - is extremely expressive.
They are approximately the size of a Standard build Ketucari, standing 16-20 hands tall at the shoulder. Rixixi commonly measure their quadrupeds by length, and Ketixi are comparable to a large Primal, measuring 12-16 feet long from snout to tailtip on average.
Ketixi are all some form of intersex due to their Rixixi heritage. Due in part to their unusual heritage, they are all sterile.
A hybrid of Ketucari and B-NOMALY, KETU-NOMALIES are classed as a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm-Connected worlds, and as a bipedal companion in Velukaelo. Standing at around 3 feet tall (unless altered by mutations such as Giant, Dragon Body Type, or Always Anthro), these hybrids have B-NOMALY bodies and mutations, while bearing Ketucari-like faces (albeit with a second mouth covered in a beak like a B-NOMALY) and Ketucari-like hands, as well as modified B-NOMALY tails that appear closer to typical Ketucari tails.
Regardless of heritage, their Ketucari traits always appear similarly to standard Ketucari. They have access to all B-NOMALY mutations including Fogholder.
Despite their interspecies heritage, K-NOMs can breed, but only with other B-NOMALIES.
When filling out a form to create a KETU-NOMALY companion, please include both the Companion Race form and the B-NOMALY traits used.
Each player can enter ONE KETUCARI and ONE RIXIXI into a breeding to get one Ketixi geno per breeding! Ketucari and Rixixi must both be breedable (or a starter) for this event, but the breedings will not reduce their total slots!
To enter a starter, you must do at least a colored headshot or 100 words of that starter!
You have 1 Breeding by default! By entering 2 of the main events and the advertising bonus here, you may obtain up to 3 additional breedings!
Breedings will not be subject to Matriarch Kills or infertility penalties. Breedings will be subject to radiation sickness and inbreeding penalties if relevant. Breeding boosters may not be used. Rixixi are considered to have a disk automatically and can breed with any ketucari gender-wise. These are all considered full litters to you, but you can do what you please with the cubs afterwards.
Starters with lineage skills, Wanderers, and Mechanix may not be rented for this event.
Splits are disabled for this event, as breedings here will only result in one cub every time.

Additional Information: [If you’re leasing a starter, the art goes here. Any other relevant information goes here, such as links to proofs for additional breedings.]
Would you rather have something definite than a random breeding? Having trouble picking out a good pair? Have we got an option for you. You can trade in one of your breedings for a semicustom! The semi will come with 4 Common Markings, 2 Uncommon Markings, and 2 Mutations by default, and you can add on items to increase that amount.
Combination Mutations count as rare genes, but the 2 mutations can be used to make a combination mutation if desired.
To increase the default further, you can draw a colored headshot gift of someone else's Ketucari.com or Chasmho.me character (any species as long as they have an import!) for a Rare gene OR Feather type. To get BOTH a Rare gene AND Feather type, you can upgrade that gift art to a colored fullbody! Make sure the other person's character is marked as open for gift art, or ask first! Gifting art to starters and NPCs does not count for this.
This trade can only be done twice per Veluchasm event.
One can optionally be a Cloning Vat style semi-custom (with the Cloning Vat item included and not needing to be used), with details HERE.
To trade for a Semicustom, go to THIS THREAD with this information!
Breeding proof: [If it was your original breeding, just state as such]
Desired genes:
Other information: [Such as gift art or details for Cloning Vat! Make sure to also send your gift art manually, Lorekeeper doesn't ping in comments]
Intimidated by mutations? Lost? Busy? You can request a design from an admin HERE! - just link to your Ketixi geno!
You can specifically request Anarchisme or IIIXKitsuneXIII as designer if desired!
Designs may take a bit longer than last year's average time due to outstanding obligations. Sorry! Life stuff, yknow
Have a breedable Ketucari or Rixixi that you want to give slots out for this event, but are unsure how to do that for this since slots aren’t used? Use THIS THREAD to give a slot to a specific player (or give permission for anyone at all to use the slot), with this form! The Ketucari and Rixixi discords are good places to advertise your Ketu/Ixi’s breedable services, so why not sign up?
Please specify if you want your slot to be available for Cloning Vat semicustoms. Cloning Vat slots cannot be signed to Anyone, they have to be to a specific user.
As these do not take from your Ketucari or Rixixi's slot count, slots for this should be gifted, not sold - they should generally be free. Putting them up for pay what you want offers is allowed as long as free is an option. There can be an option to pay as long as it is not a requirement! Thank you!

Post your pieces on THIS THREAD, and list your Ketucari.com and Chasmho.me usernames as well as your Roothorne color choice!
Rewards:

Make sure you're using B-NOMALY traits (both B-Class and ANARCHIE allowed) for the physical features, and using the mandatory ones like Godkiller Face, Godkiller Hands, Long Tail, and Feather Duster! You have no restriction on how many Anarchic traits you can use, and Fogholder is allowed. Go wild. Fullbody with color or 300 words required.
You do not have to actually keep this design as a character, but if you want to, the option is available! Just take it to the link in Companion Races, use both the provided companion form and list all of the B-NOMALY traits used!

Ketixi are infertile and cannot breed. They can only be obtained in this event - they will not be able to be obtained via semicustoms, build changes, fogshards, or other methods.
KETU-NOMALIES can breed, but only with B-NOMALIES. They can be obtained in the Veluchasm event or through regular Companion-obtaining means, but cannot be obtained through Chasmhome MYOs. Godkiller traits for B-NOMALIES are only obtainable through these methods or through passing them down in breeding, they are not available in MYOs, trait swaps, and otherwise. KETU-NOMALIES will not have a lineage due to not being bred, except for certain raffle KETU-NOMALIES, this is just as a bit of a fun fact about where they came from.
Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES will be uploaded to both Chasmhome and Ketucari’s lorekeeper. These imports will have separate stats and some separate details, such as which companions will be uploaded to them, what items they can equip, and so on. The Chasmhome upload can be used on Chasmhome and uses items/quests/prompts native to that site, and Ketucari’s can be used on Ketucari.com and uses Ketucari items/quests/prompts. Rolls of Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES can double-dip on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Visual changes carry over to both uploads - if a Ketucari background is used, it will display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. If a K-NOM's trait is changed on Chasmhome, the image will be changed on Ketucari to reflect that. If an element is learned via Chasmhome and leveled up to the point that it can display, it can display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Similar things can double up - you can have an elemental blessing and display elemental radiation.
As a result of their double import, Ketixi need to be submitted to both design approvals. There is a Ketixi thread in Ketucari and Rixixi’s design approval - use two separate stash files, one with Ketucari’s import details and one with Rixixi’s, and drop these off in the individual threads.
However, to keep things simple, KETU-NOMALIES only need to be submitted to the regular companion approvals with a modified form. Please include both the form found at Companion Races as well as all B-NOMALY traits used in the design so we can properly approve them.
Ketixi have a limited gene pool as well as several genes combined from both species. To exist on the Ketixi list, there must be a similar gene on both species. The full list is HERE, on the second tab!
You may use geno-editing items on your Ketixi, such as tokens, fogshard pieces, and statues. Tokens do not have a limit for Ketixi. If using a token/fogshard gene that was fused from two genes for Ketixi to make a new unique gene (eg. Sunny Ember), either the relevant fogshard or token will work. (a Sun Chrono fogshard, an Ember token). Supercharged Alchemy fogshards cannot trade the unique fused genes to a Rixixi, as they cannot be on regular Rixixi.
Mutations must be added by the designer, mutation bases will not be made for Ketixi. Mutations that exist in Rixixi and Ketucari can both pass on the same geno - double albinism is possible, for instance. Horns use Rixixi rules - they are fully customizable and can go anywhere on the head. You can use Ketucari bases for Ketixi horns if desired, but you will have to move them to make them fit.
If a Rixixi Fur Mutation passes, you will be asked what feather type you want it to be replaced by. This may change in the future if we run this event again and more Fur Mutations are released by then!

Broken Images
We are aware that many images are broken in guides and zone pages and the like - deviantArt changed the tokens in art that was somewhat older (maybe 2+ years old? unsure) and a lot of linked images broke as a result, whether stashed or posted. Someone will be going through and fixing them soon, we just need to find the time. Please bear with us!
And that's probably all for now! See you in October, most likely earlier in the month, haha. Take care (:

Shakes and Quakes
Kartha says:
"HEY! NEWCOMMERS! We've been getting a string of earthquakes from AROUND the western sea, and need eyes on the groUND! WATCH FOR TSUNAMIS AS YOU CHECK THE LOCAL TERRAIN FOR CHANGES DUE TO THE QUAKES! REPORT BACK TO ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE!"
Check it out and read more about bounties on the dA page!
With the release of our major event Ocean Shadows, several other things are happening!
The Cartography Guild has introduced Scouting into your regular Adventuring options! Much like Ventures, your ketucari can be doing anything in a Scouting outing, but the focus of the piece must be heavily on the background! There's information in the linked page on how much minimum detail we expect for a scouting, but if you've been looking for an excuse to practice your backgrounds, this is a good one!
Scouting will bring back Perception and Intellect drops - so Herbs, Cooking supplies, Artifacts, and Engineering supplies - and will also have a chance to bring back treasure maps! If you get a treasure map, you can go on an additional scouting adventure to find a high-value treasure chest!
Ochredari's Forge is reporting that they can now make Bone Armor! Bone Armor has the defensive power of Leather armor, but can amplify your attunement damage!
Kenkasaei's Hovel has added a Rebreather to their craftable items! With this ocean exploration, you'll likely need it!
Fauna depictions now only have to be 25% rather than 50%! This should help with some larger creatures in Ocean Shadows...
Quests can optionally be used to learn Skills once again! They just aren't the only way to learn skills!
The Breeding Roller has been updated by @pawstepsinthednow , bringing with it the following features!
1: Reduced Errors
2: Easier to update for new genes
3: Slightly more granular Matriarch Kills to account for new items
4: Dominant Genes can now throw Dominant Genes 15% for common, 10% for uncommon, 5% for rare
Enjoy the updates!
COMING SOON...
An event is coming on most likely the 15th! Get ready, and if you can, get your ketucari Aquatic or Thick Skin in preparation! It's gonna be a big one!
New Staff
Wolfenru and AutumnDarkCloud have joined the staff, and you'll see them around rolling your stuff if you haven't already! Make 'em welcome!
Singing Vale Raid Soon
The Singing Vale is now at 211/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this (and Anarchie is planning Something to get that number up a lot more after the event) - we'll continue to alert you to a raid happening somewhat soon until it hits! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!
That's all for now, see you in the event or in December!
]]>The western winds are blowing more sweetly since the fog around Zolkanis has dissipated. Sea travel in the west has gotten easier, and the scars the War left on the world are healing better than ever before.
A new faction has also joined the playing field: Since no records exist of the western continent in known cartography, some adventurous souls have formed the Cartography Guild! The Guild has spent the last several months making new maps of the world using detailed equipment and laser readings. Their latest work: carefully exploring Paschmahaa to make topographical maps and take magical energy readings of the sea floor.
Which is where things get… strange.
The seafloor is brimming with magical energy.
Unprecedented amounts of magical energy -- and after some dredging, technology that hasn’t been seen since the Akadri wars.
Now, the Cartography Guild is partnering with Kembali Biotech to learn more, and Kembali has once again sent out invitations for an expedition.
We can only hope it goes better than the last one…
.
.
.
A crowd has been gathered in Zolk’s Arena in response to the invitation. It’s the only place large enough to house this many ketucari at once, not to mention the akadri, heldyr, hibridi, jordskar, lucedarians, and k-nomalies who have taken up the remaining bits of space. On a crudely erected stage at the front of the Arena, a grizzled smooth kadin with an eyepatch and several missing limbs looks over the gathered crowd. Beside her stands a hologram that might be familiar to some: Emdee Dielle. Both are wearing their friendliest smiles, but it is the kadin that stands at the podium to speak into the microphone.
“GREETINGS!” She booms suddenly, the microphone screeching. “MY NAM-”
Emdee’s hologram taps her arm and she cuts off. Emdee whispers something, and the kadin flushes, fluffs her feathers, and shakes herself. “Apologies, Indoor voices are not my strength--My name is Kartha, and I am the founder and lead explorer of the Cartography Guild! I’m very grateful that you all have gathered here today! My Guild has been working tirelessly since the fading of the fog to provide a more accurate map of Velukaelo, and we have started with Paschmahaa! Which is what brings us here. My Guild is small, and we’re making big discoveries! Too big, and worrisome. We ask that you join our expedition and report what you find! We will provide room, board, pay, and you can keep whatever spoils you find! All we require is that you be willing to get your paws wet!”
There are murmurs, questions.
Kartha listens to them: “What sort of danger are we putting ourselves in?”, “What’s the reward?”, “When is all of this happening?”, “What’s got you guys so spooked?”
Kartha listens. Answers. “The short version: Potentially mortal peril. There’s monsters in that ocean. Animals the size of the Gods. Bugs the size of armatherium. I’m only one ketucari, and my Guild? We ain’t fighters. We need bodyguards. We need more hands on the maps, we need more hands on the tools. And well, Something is watching us in those waters, and that Something is why I contacted Emdee. See,” Karta turns, motioning to her left, and a photo flashes onto the projector screen behind her. Dark waters obscure the shape of whatever is there. It’s large, front heavy with four legs, with a long tail tipped with thagomizers. It doesn’t look like it belongs in the water.
Its eyes are reflecting the flash of the camera.
“These creatures--we think they may be cousins to our kind: Offspring of the gods like our ryno and danuoc friends. But they’re skittish and surprisingly fast. We can’t keep up with them and they vanish deeper into earth, below where our equipment can take us. That’s why we need your help. If you can, we’d like someone to meet even one of these strangers--confirm what they are--and if they are indeed our cousins, try to re-establish contact that we suspect has been lost since the Akadri War.”

Phase is Open Until: January 15, 11:59PM PST

Subzones: Oversea, Hataar’s Drop Off
The black waters of Paschmahaa lap at your ship. Kartha could only take a few ketucari onto each ship, but she was true to her word. The Galleons are HUGE and have been built so that a ketucari can be comfortable. Everyone has been allowed to look at the weird energy readings if they so wished.
And now the time has come: Time To Get In The Water. You’ve been given gear to detect magical and electromagnetic readings. You’ve been given swim gear, you’ve been given a waterproof watch that reads your biometrics to make sure you don’t drown yourself by going too deep, and you’ve even been given a waterproof pencil on special paper as well as Several waterproof cameras and camera bots, and goggles to protect your eyes. Kartha is suiting up right next to you.
“Remember, we’re here looking into a particular creature.” Once more, Kartha shows the picture. “If at all possible, find one of our watchers! And follow them!”
You’re put in the small research boats and turned loose into the toxic black waves.
The waters are Dark. You can’t tell if it’s soot, ash, the centuries of toxic fog, or the lack of plants.
It’s probably the lack of plants, the water was much greener near Leto.
The water is dark, but you understand now why the ship is parked a kilometer away and why your team was put out in little boats: It looks like someone sank the Singing Vale: spires and mountains and crests of stone split the ocean floor into valleys. The spires reach up to the surface, where they become islands brimming with lush greenery.
There is no “up” in this place, unless you’re at the surface. The water is dark, murky, it’s hard to see the light at the surface. And you know it goes Deeper.
In the distance, something roars. You hope it’s not the domain guardian.
Your task is simple: explore every nook and cranny of this dark ocean. Hope that the Guardian--Kartha called them “Chayandhal”?--is friendly rather than hostile.
And most importantly, investigate the fauna. Kartha said there’s something Big, like, Twice the size of a Ryno big, and well. Something keeps Roaring.
!10/10 Pieces Received!
Phase is Open Until: January 15, 11:59PM PST
Phase 2 Opens at: December 1st if 10 pieces are received, December 15th otherwise.
PROMPT: Please respond to any previously posted part of the event, be it the introduction or the Phase 1 Scene setting.
REQUIREMENTS [ART]: Clean colored or greyscale fullbody +prop(s)
REQUIREMENTS [LIT]: 300 Words (+100 per ket).
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT: If your ketucari is in the water and does not have Thick Skin or Aquatic, they must have SOME sort of swim gear such as a snorkel, incorrectly worn swim trunks, flippers, a wetsuit, water goggles, or some sort of life rope. These are dangerous and unknown waters and the Cartography Guild is more than a little worried about getting sued if you drown.
COLLABS ALLOWED. All collabing players must have a ketucari present, and the finished collab must meet minimum group requirements. Collaborations count for as many pieces as there are collaborators. Maximum three 3 kets per piece.
Bonus Prompts can be completed within your pieces to net you extra rewards. Each bonus prompt can only be completed twice.
A: Show your ketucari interacting with Kartha (+10 gold, Kartha must also be a fullbody)
B: Show your ketucari interacting with one of the new fauna (chance to “capture), 100% for low tier, 75% for medium, 50% for harsh)
C: What’s the strange shadow under the waves and Why Is It Watching You? (+1 Raffle Entry)
D: Lingering Toxic Fog is rolling in… how do you deal with it? Is it safe under water or do you have a gas mask? (+1 Large Trinket)
E: The current seems strong wonder whyCRAP THAT’S A ROCK (+2 Scar Packs)
F: Chayandhal has swung by to say hello! (+30 gold and 25% chance at a Legendary Codex for either Ambrosia Ale, Scenic Hologram, Ancestor's Blessing, or Bottled Glamour) (Chayandhal should be a minimum of a headshot)
You’ve been investigating for weeks. Long enough that you’re beginning to get mighty homesick, and longing for the land. For these weeks you’ve seen nothing but dark waters; no the small islands don’t count, thank you. On the bright side the team has gotten good at diving! It seems everyone has spotted the strange creature that keeps to the shadows at least once, now and curiosity is piqued.
Also a bunch of explorers have decided they’re taking some local fauna home--Kartha seems less than pleased about this and keeps looking nervously to the north where Chayandhal is believed to be patrolling--and others have been getting a huge haul of ore and stone, but that’s not why you’re still here.
No, the reason you’re still in these waters is because one of the explorers found an artifact. At first glance no one thought much of it. Even Kartha almost dismissed it out of hand as unimportant! Before she recognized the shape -- and opened her mouth in a wide grin.
Caked in mud and grime and covered with dark circuitry, was an old gun. Akadri make, but Different somehow. It’s long dead and dormant. The Engineers take a look at it, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and there are many questions asked.
The ketucari who discovered the turret says they found it around a strange undersea mountain, near the trench in the shadow of Zolkanis.
Efforts redouble, the search is focused. The strange undersea mountain is located--a massive rugged dome surrounded by flat shelves extending outwards. These shelves are indented and the dips have collected pools of heavier water thick with seit and huge fish: The rims almost look like the paths around rice farms!
And there are Lights here. More machinery. Robots? That tend to seit and fish. Some are inactive, abandoned, crowded around and on top of more turrets.
Active turrets.
Near the mountain proper, and off further west directly under Zolkanis’s floating islands, are Active turrets. Their sights track the expedition part. Getting too close causes them to glow an eerie blue and wail. And when they wail, other turrets whir and wail into life, illuminating the sea floor in a blue light.
Kartha makes the executive decision that everyone needs to leave the water.
Phase is Open Until: January 20, 11:59PM PST
Phase 3 Opens at: January 15, 11:59 PM PST if 10 pieces are received.
Subzones: Oversea, Paschara Gardens, Zolk’s Crater
Once on board, Kartha explains the situation in her booming voice.
“WE’VE FOUND SOMETHING BIG, EVERYONE!” Kartha has climbed onto the roof of the captain’s cabin where everyone can see and hear her. “AT FIRST LIGHT, I’M GOING TO PLACE BUOYS LOADED WITH LIFE LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE MOUNTAIN. THAT WILL BE OUR NEW AREA OF FOCUS.” Her voice shakes the massive ship’s floor. How can one kadin be So Loud?
“Are we still looking for our supposed cousins?” someone near the front asks.
“AYE!” hollers Kartha. “WE SUSPECT THAT THEY MAY BE FULLY AQUA--”
A Sound interrupts her. A CLANG and heavy splashes. On the starboard side of the ship, a grappling hook has latched onto the railing, as thick as a Mountain Glider’s claw, and attached to it, hauling themself up the side of the ship, is… a ketucari?
Their head is broad, jaws heavy as a bullchomp’s. They drag themselves up with more dexterity than they should be capable of at their massive size--twice as large as a ryno--and hook a hind kill claw onto the railing when they crest it.
Silence covers the deck while they shake the water from their sopping feathers. Their neck and back is covered in heavy plate armor, and they’re covered in scars. Old, dark scars. They stand on the deck as if they own it, looking over the gathered crowd with a disdainful eye.
“...Even smaller than I thought yeh’d be.” they huff with a heavy, unplaceable accent. “Yeh. Up top with the Mech Leg. Yeh Lead this pack? Gotten Bigger since we first saw yehr ship. Keep nosin round like yeh’v business wit’ us. Makin theeries bout us. Ain’t much fondness between us, is there?”
“And You are…?” Kartha’s voice is far quieter than it should be. The stranger flicks their ears and looks over the crowd.
“Depends why yeh’r askin.” they answer. “What, exactly, is it that yeh all want?”
And that Is a question, isn’t it?
Kartha comes up with an answer quickly. “When my Guild was investigating these waters, we spotted creatures like you in the gloom, and found strange energy readings. We just wanted to-”
“Land dwellers. Those who work with the Captors? We took to the waves to avoid yehr ilk.” The stranger interrupts her, glares at the various humanoids and akadri on the ship. “...We only came up cause the fog’s gone, and already yeh’r sniffin round?”
“Things aren’t like that anymore!” Emdee protests from Kartha’s side. “The war has been over for centuries. We’re trying to reunite the ketucari that were scattered by it, and recollect lost history, and ensure that everyone is safe.”
The stranger gives the holographic figure a critical look. Huffs. “Prove yehrselves then. …We don’t trust so easy as to let yeh walk straight to our home without proof.” They turn, look back at the gathered crowd, and smirk. “Must say tho. They’re nice days when we do meet friendly faces. Been some centuries. We’ll give yeh a fair shake. Convince us.”
Without further ado, they take their heavy grappling hook and launch themself back into the sea.

The game of hide and seek comes to a sudden end when The Ambassador’s grappling hook snatches the railing again and the ship LURCHES with the weights of the Strangers climbing on. There are 7 of them, including the first you met. They scatter about on the ship, laughing amongst themselves, speaking loudly as they do.
It is quickly apparent that they’re making themselves at home.
“Well, Landdwellers” Durai says with a loud, uproarious laugh, “Yeh’v impressed us! SOME O’ yehr ilk are gonna be rottin’ in our prison, but mosta yeh seem ai’ght. Even yehr Captors seem ta be good fish! We’ll trust yeh.” their scarred face is split in a wide grin. “Me an’ mine here are gonna escort ye, o’course! We’s brought supplies an’ tools for yehs.”
“Is… everyone invited?” Kartha asks, stepping forward.
One of the other Strangers nods. “Course! In small groups, though. No more’n three with one’o us at a go.” she motions to the six of them. “S’all we got gear an’ eyes for, and should ‘elp yeh keep track ‘f yer crew, aye?” She stands and pulls something out of a pack on her back. Protective swim gear? “Yeh first, Cap. I’ll swim ye down myself, present ya to the Matriarch.”
There’s a long silence, Kartha watches the Strangers. “...What of those who haven’t returned from your waters?”
Silence rings.
“Criminals are punished here, Capt’n.” Durai’s voice drops low. “Theh’r meet’n the Matriarch as we speak. On less friendly terms. Yeh won’t get the same treatment as them, but theh’r stayin’.”
Phase is Open Until: February 15, 11:59PM PST
Phase 3 Ends February 15, 11:59PM PST.
Subzones: Paschara Gardens, Paschara, Zolk’s Crater
When your turn finally comes to enter the water, you are handed protective gear. A rebreather, an oxygen tank. Those who are entirely confident in their ability to handle the dark waters argue, but the giant ketucari insist, and leave no room for argument.
It’s accept the equipment, or stay here on the surface.
It makes sense once you’re down there. The weight of the water crushes you, as you’re guided back down into the depths. Back down to the seit paddies and the giant, slow, lazy fish that swim about them. Old akadri technology tracks your movements as you swim along a path towards the mountain. It’s so dark down here that you’re certain the seit is glowing. The fish definitely are.
The mountain is illuminated, however. Floodlights burst to life as you approach, and a section of stone Moves, scraping low and deep against the ocean floor to reveal a brightly lit tunnel behind it.
Desperate for light, you swim ahead of your guide, into the light. Your companions and guide follow after you, and your guide moves their hands animatedly to get your attention before pointedly grabbing the handlebars on the floor. You follow suit and there is Noise from all around you. A motor that shakes you to your core as you hold on for dear life and the water around you is sucked away until you’re left panting and shaking from the sudden Cold and your feet are back on solid ground.
It’s a hiss and whirr, next, and the metal wall in front of you opens towards you to reveal what you can only describe as a security station. A cluster of these giant ketucari stand next to a window, wearing sashes pinned with shield-emblazoned broches around their shoulders. They give your group a curious look, greet your guide, and resume their chatter, speaking faster than you can process their accent.
Your guide hurries you along, through yet another bulwark. Here, the mountain Opens. You stand on a walkway around a deep crater. Everything below you is illuminated with lines of gleaming toresul lamps, and looking up… there’s more, leading up into the peak of the undersea mountains. The walkway is carved of stone and expanded with glowing technology leading to further, more central platforms kept floating in stacks with the buzz of Talik. The walkways stretch for what must be a mile in any direction. “This way.” your guide says and steps onto a smaller platform framed at its corners with delicately carved stonework. Your group follows, and with a shudder and the hum of Greheli, the platform rises, a barrier forming around the stonework. An elevator, taking you up towards the peak. Up and up, until you stop and are ushered off onto a new walkway.
This isn’t a Tour, you realize. Your path is very direct. Looking around, you realize that there’s more of the sashed ketucari, guards (or something like them), flanking every possible route into the massive city proper. Some watch you warily, others smile and wave, as you’re herded deeper in. You pass between buildings where more curious eyes watch from the windows, as you’re led into what you can only describe as the open framework of a small castle. It’s festooned with colorful banners. The moment you step onto the grounds, the guards are armored, their faces hidden. Some are Armed, and they all wear banners of gold and red.
Eventually, you’re led into the intricate framework, to what is very definitely a throne. In it is a massive, tailless kadin, her fur a smokey orange, banded with brown and crimson. Her heavy head crowned with horns. She watches your approach with a grin.
Kartha already stands before her, visibly trying not to cower before another giant; Bald feathered, yellow, grey, and spotted under its ceremonial armor, the giant lifts its head at your guide’s call.
“Yeh took yer time.” it says. Your guide shrugs in reply and weaves off to the side after instructing you to sit, while they join the other returned guides.
“Be nice, Paleeka.” it’s the Matriarch who speaks, her accent more… antiquated than strange. “There’s quite a few of these strangers. Let our young’ins have a moment. As for those of yeh here… Make yerselves comfortable. If yeh have any needs, food, water, the like… ask Paleeka, and it’ll see to it yeh get a bowl. Course, if yeh misbehave, it’ll also ensure its guards take care of ye.”
You don’t have to wait terribly long before the remaining groups join you, and the castle, even as open as it is, is crowded. The Matriarch stands and looks over the crowd. “This all yer gathered, ‘cept the troublemakers who sought harm?”
“It… it is.” Kartha answers. “
“Excellent! Allow me to introduce myself! I’m Queen Corundum of Paschara! That one there? That’s my captain of the guard, Paleeka! Your friends have met it. The fools that went and caused problems. They’re fine, just servin’ time in the lower levels. As for you all, yer leader’s taught us ‘bout yeh.” Corundum shifts her weight atop her throne. “As has Durai. You’re investigating us.”
“We were also picking up strange energy--” someone starts to protest, but a sharp glare from the towering kadin silences them.
“That’s us. And a little problem we have.” she states, and hauls herself to her feet. “You call the land above our water ‘Zolk’. Well, when Igyera dragged it into the sky… they left a crater. And from that crater, we’re getting Beasts. We fight those beasts. If you wanna help, you’re welcome to. If not… there’s another task you can take on fer us. See… it ain’t just the Beasts. Paleeka?”
Paleeka steps forward. Then through the gathered crowd, back to a solid wall on the intricate stone framework of the throne chamber. It points at a screen that takes up the majority of the wall. The screen depicts the ocean floor, bubbling with black sediments and flashes of lava. And more interestingly, glowing bits of old Akadri technology, scattered about the ocean floor. Remnants of flying machines, turbines, at least one tank just in the slow panning shot, are scattered about.
Paleeka jerks its head at the tech. “Yeh can investigate that. We use the old tech t’ power the city and expand. Yeh want us to trust yeh? Work like one of us.”
For a long moment, tension hangs heavy around you.
And then Corundum laughs, stomping a foot on the ground. “Yer all so serious! You should see yer faces! Ach, yeh’ll be good company. Come! Stay in Paschara for a while! Yeh wanna investigate? Get to know us and ours! Just know… if yeh cause any problems, it’s my dear ‘leeka you’ll be answering to.”
And on that cheery note, the guides usher you all out of the throne room.

There’s a sort of hush through Paschara tonight.
After a month of staying within the city, or at least visiting regularly, it’s almost starting to feel familiar. A month of fighting giants under the water, of learning about Paschara, of bonding and gathering technology.
It’s… been a long trip.
The garochs have been amicable. Just as eager to learn of the world outside their underground, underwater cities. Many have either already left, heading out into the wider world, or are planning their exit. Some have agreed to leave with the Guild. Others will make their own way.
So too, are members of the expedition considering staying. Or returning home only to collect their belongings and relocate to Paschara. Others are so homesick that they’ve returned home already, finding some method or another. More still are tired, frustrated, and ready to be away from all of the water, in spite of any friends they’ve made among their garoch cousins.
One can only really call the Expedition a success.
And yet there’s a somberness to the departure. Sorrow that the time within the city is over.
And yet, there’s an excitement, too. The garochs chatter amongst themselves, playing telephone with the information they’ve received from the members of the expedition.
The members of the expedition stand in a city square, on the lowest level of the city. Loudspeakers fixed into various structures reverberate with Corundum’s voice, addressing her people.
“A year ago the noxious fog that has kept us safe in these waters cleared. A year ago, the poison that kept us trapped here, faded away. A day we’d awaited for centuries, even as we built our home. Our Sire granted us a chance to live as ourselves, not as slaves of the Captors and their Mechanical Nightmare they called Aterrin. We must remember to thank him, now that we are free to leave.”
There’s a lull, a moment of somber silence. “Months ago, we spotted the first strangers in our waters. I do not regret the lockdown I ordered then, but I know how it hurt you, my people. Our scouts assessed these strangers. We watched them. And they returned with more of them and theirs. We’ve dealt with theirs that broke our laws, an’ those that treated us kind, we invited in. They’ve been kind te us, these strangers. They’ve shared their stories with us. Us with them. And now, it is with greatest honor as your Queen, that I’d like teh announce the official end of our cowarin’ ‘neath these waters! Done is the war that our Sire sought teh hide us from!”
Corundum’s voice swells with power and authority.
“Today, Paschara declares itself an Ally with our cousins up on land! We send off our guests back whence they came and with them any who wish to join! Today, my people, my kinfolk, my jewels of the deep! Today, we stand free! To those who have left or plan teh leave! Go with my blessing and the love of Paschara! Yeh’ll always be welcome home should yeh return! To our guests… you have our deepest gratitude, and we are proud to call yeh Friend. Go forth, tell yer world of us. An’ know that yehr welcome in these waters any time.”
It’s time.
Horns blare, music swells all through the mountain. Guards stand, and the expedition is urged now to stand with them. Cheers erupt around the city.
A parade marches around the edges of the Paschara, joined by the garochs who seek to leave with the Guild. Streamers and banners unflurl from the ceilings and rails. Noise fills the air.
The melancholy is still there, lingering, but it’s painted over with bright lights, as the Expedition is led back out of the city and guided to their ships. Ships that have been joined by submarines shaped like whales, housing more garochs who seek to leave Paschara.
Finally, after months of adventure and curiosity, it’s time to return home. To normal life.
Until the next big adventure.
THANK you everyone!
We hope that you enjoyed this event! It was an honor to deliver it!

Ocean Shadows Phase Two
Ocean Shadows is currently running Phase Two!

Make sure to get your entries in before then, as you need to enter Phase One and Two to enter Phase Three!
In Phase Two, we meet a new build of Ketucari, the massive Garoch build! Go earn their trust (or... or don't. completely wreck relations if that's what you're into) and get deeper into Paschmahaa!
Garochs and the new genes will be available in February for semicustoms/tokens/etc, instead of the expected March, due to Ocean Shadows starting without them for a month.
Season's Eatings
The Solstice Festival/12 Days of Gifting is coming back this year! It'll be pretty much the same as last year, so here's last year's if you want to take a look and see what'll be coming soon! We hope you have fun gifting and receiving, and have a lovely holiday season!
More Guides
The Design Guides page now contains a Background Changes guide and a Bottled Glamour guide!
Singing Vale Raid Soon
The Singing Vale is now at 214/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this (and Anarchie is planning Something to get that number up a lot more after the event) - we'll continue to alert you to a raid happening somewhat soon until it hits! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!

(Kaur is mad about festivity by Anarchisme)
It's back!
Once more Suadriga emerges from the far north to bring joy and merriment to those who have survived another year.
And this time, he brought a Feast!
However, to partake in the feast, you must do well unto your neighbor! What does that mean?
Gifts.
So many Gifts.
For Twelve Days, he will be handing out presents.
You may enter for each present only once, and only on the day that it is being offered.
How do you receive a gift?
By giving one!
The requirements are simple!
Your minimum requirements are a colored headshot OR 100 words.
The catch? The ketucari CANNOT belong to you. No using Co-owns to get around this.
Your headshots may be sketchy, you may INCLUDE your own ketucari, but the focus should be on the recipient.
To account for this, we asked the lovely Draginraptor to fix up our Gift Art settings! They are now fully searchable, gift writing settings are now actually visible, and you can now set your gift setting en-masse if you want specific default settings!
There's one more catch to your gifts, however, in the spirit of trying to include everyone, and that is: You CANNOT gift to the same person two days in a row.
If you want to spoil your bestie rotten, that's fine! But every other day you have to share the love.
You may also only gift to a Starter once (unless additional Starters are Player-Owned Wanderers).
We added our Gallery feature for this event last year! If you use it for your piece, please make sure you submit to the Winter gallery!
For anyone hosting their images outside of the site gallery, Please do be sure to share your art on THIS THREAD to ensure your recipient sees it!
Entering for even just 1 day enters you into the Holiday Ketucari Raffle!

Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!
That's it! We'll see you in February!

Slot rules:
You may only win one slot, which will come with the following restrictions.
-Eros slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.
All people who make an entry will also be entered in this bonus raffle (you may opt out by saying so in your comment)
The winners of the raffle will win a Full slot to Eros
Three slots total will be raffled off
The raffle will be rolled on February 15th, after all entries have been turned in
Winning an Eros slot will not affect the cub you receive or pairing in the main part of the event
Everyone is eligible for this slot raffle, regardless of if you've had a slot to an Endearing Display ket before
You MAY win both an Eros slot and a Sun Disk if you're lucky!
THE WINNERS OF THE EROS SLOTS ARE:
Shedo310, Pawstepsinthesnow, Goo-Lion!
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WILL EACH RECEIVE YOUR SLOT PERMISSION AS A COMMENT RESPONSE TO YOUR MATCHMAKER ENTRY!
THE WINNERS OF THE SUN DISKS ARE:

The Monthly Bounty is located on the deviantArt page for the group! This month's bounty is:
Love Is In The Air 2024
Eros says:
“Love is in the air this month! Tell me, who's your sweetheart? Do you have one? Is there someone for whom you have unrequited love? Are you not interested at all? I’d love to know!"
Check it out and read more about bounties on the dA page!
This bounty has an Eros slot raffle tied to it, we highly recommend taking a look!
Matchmaker, Match Me A Make
Matchmaker 2024 is up! Depict a Ketucari or two (or three, or four, or... maybe not five, as they wouldn't all be rollable...) doing something romantic and post on in there! You'll need a ketucari with their BEs done - this does not need to be the ketucari you draw/write about for your entry, they just need to be able to spread some neat genes. Read more about the requirements in the post!
Queerplatonic and similar pairs are allowed! Aroace spectrum ketucari allowed!
Ocean Shadows: Phase Three Ending Soon
Ocean Shadows is currently in Phase Three! It's ending on February 15th at 11:59 PM PST, please make sure to get your entries in before then!
As a reminder, Garochs and the new genes are now available for semicustoms/tokens/etc, instead of the expected March, due to Ocean Shadows starting without them for a month.
Wanderers Cycling
As stated above, Wanderers Season 4 is ending soon. This is the last call for anything you wanted to do with these wanderers while they're still group-owned. A new set of Wanderers will be coming in Season 5! I'll give you a spoiler, it's mostly Garochs.
Pack Revamp Releasing Extremely Soon
We're moving packs to the site and revamping some features, such as making deity alliances much easier. We just need to get a bit more set up in pack inventories (which are almost done being ported to this site!) and then we'll be ready!
Singing Vale Raid Soon
The Singing Vale is now at 217/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this - we'll continue to alert you to a raid happening somewhat soon until it hits! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!
Anarchie is planning an unofficial (player-run, not group-run) siege on the Singing Vale via the Territory Wars feature in two separate packs at the same time, to get the raid points up faster. Please feel free to ask eir about it if you're interested.
That's all for now! See you when packs are fixed up!

Thank you everyone in advance for supporting the group and allowing us to continue developing this awesome community!
]]>You can find the main information at the Pack Hub! This is linked on the dA page and will be in the resources dropdown within the next couple of days.
Most of the things are right where we left them, just ported to a site page, but there are some changes!
Packs all have their own pages now, which can be found here! This page will be linked somewhere obvious soon, our sitemaster is working on it! (: If you want a thumbnail or new rank added to your pack, please feel free to contact an admin and we'll get you set up! (The thumbnails added now were mostly added to test the feature)
You can view player packs the regular way too, on the Player Pack list! This is just a neat new feature.
We also have a heavily updated Group-Owned Packs list (previously called Canon Packs), which includes the newer packs displayed on starters more recently!
For Wagers, both packs must already have territory. Each pack wagers one of their own territory subzones, and the other pack will attempt their claim in that subzone. Whoever has the most successes in the end will win the wagered territory, and they will not lose their wagered territory!
Sieges occur when both packs want the same territory. The claim works similarly to a PVE Territory Wars claim, except that KVKs, if done, should be between the pack members. Like wagers, the pack with the most successes will win the territory!
If two packs doing PVP are owned by the same person, this is allowed, but multiple people have to join in the claim in both packs to make things fair.
The pack hoard is now handled through the site! Members who have a ketucari that leads a pack should be able to transfer items in and out of their pack hoard. If you want to add a treasurer (or the same role in another name) to your pack, please ask an admin! We would be happy to help.
Pack hoards should generally be used to aid the pack, and pack hoards being used solely for personal gain may be cause for a warning or ban. Please be courteous!
Allying Deities is now easier than ever! Offerings have been boosted by 10x, and trade goods have been boosted by various different rates as well! Also, Deities now ally permanently, and can ally to multiple packs at once! As a result, the threshhold to ally tier 2 and 3 deities is now higher. We hope this makes the feature far more enjoyable and easy to use!
Other than that, most of the new stuff is that creating a pack and buying slots for it are now handled through comments on site rather than in dA notes!
Go ahead and check it out if you feel like it, we hope you enjoy it and that it's convenient for you!
]]>
Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari!
There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots.
Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard.
You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month.
Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.
Entries cannot double-dip into multiple raffles unless stated otherwise. Noted exceptions are the Annual WaLoS Raffle, and the Annual Eros and Firn slot raffles. Any other Event Raffles are a "no" unless stated otherwise.
This includes the raffles and draw to adopts in other species.
This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:
-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" (or any other pronoun) in a way that deprives the character of personhood (some Wanderers may use it/its! Respect that if/when it ocurrs!) (Your character is allowed to be mistaken, please try to be clear this is a character mistake and not an authorial one)
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
-entries using the character as a vessel to insult other characters, players, admins, or other species
-portraying them as an obvious charicature of any ethnic group.
-uses slurs against them or involves them using slurs.
For March and April, we have a bonus raffle, due to accidentally not including the Deep Well modifier in our list of wanderers! (oops)
Skaði has come out from Rastyn's territories in Aegrus to join the Wanderers for a couple of months! They have the Deep Well modifer, Brow horns, and Spur horns from this year, as well as Noisy Wrought and Maltese from last year!
You can enter at this comment for a slot to Skaði - this is totally free and does not take an art entry! This also does not count against your wanderer entries - you can win a wanderer slot and a Skaði slot.
3 Slots will be raffled off per month this way!
Skaði is a regular starter and will not be raffled off for ownership.
Starting in 2024, Wanderers will have a Reputation system. What this is, is essentially a reward for commitment towards a given Wanderer. Entering for Slots to that Wanderer will increase your chances of winning Ownership of them if you enter the ownership raffle.
If you have Two entries for slots to any specific Wanderer throughout the year, you can gain +1 entry into the Ownership raffle for that particular Wanderer.
How this works in practice is essentially increased priority over others who Don't have that +1, where if you and one other player both enter for Sylphy and no other Wanderer, and no one else entered for Sylphy, and you have the +1 and they don't, you're going to be the one to receive Sylphy.
If you enter for multiple Wanderers, and we have a year where there's competition for them and we actually need to use the raffle list, your name will be entered twice so you have a higher chance of winning.

Flash Sale Extended
The Flash Sale for Kitty has been extended until April 7th! If you weren't already aware of it, we're having a fundraiser for our admin IIIXKitsuneXIII due to some unexpected vet bills. There was an additional cost, and so the sale was extended. If you have anything you need to get, feel free to check it out!

Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!
Anarchie is planning an unofficial (player-run, not group-run) siege on the Singing Vale via the Territory Wars feature in two separate packs at the same time, to get the raid points up faster. Please feel free to ask eir about it if you're interested.
That's all for now! See you in April for WaLoS!
