As the last hot days pass by, the villagers are rushing to collect the autumn harvest. Europa is plentyful and generous this year. Magicians tell that it's not just a coincidence and good luck: they found that Carpo, a Harvest Kami was watching over the crops this year. They advice you to throw a feast to thank Kami for her help, and maybe she will stay to spread her power over your manor. 

Gameplay tip: Use your Astrologist to boost the chances of finding rare items. Harvester Throdamas will help you to gather food more quickly.

Defect Demonstrations

Written by Sylviianel

Pets with genetic conditions have been studied by various organizations so that they can learn from them and develop ways to overcome the disabilities. No group has found more use for these pets than the Muncipal Hospital who can test new medical procedures on the beasts. With new breakthroughs just around the corner, the hospital is having a funding dilemma that is affecting their current research.

The Neurology Department within the hospital wishes to use Slow-Minded Gryphons in their research to enhance memory retention and fight the debilitiating effects of Alzheimer's in aging patients.

The Intensive Care Department within the hospital wants to use Lykos with Weak Muscles to develop a method of strengthing the muscles of immobile patients who have grown weak from their bedridden state.

While these are both noble causes, the hospital only has it within its budget to focus on one area of research at the moment. The hospital's board has decided to allow both departments a week to gather support for their causes from the Beastlords of the land.

Which department do you believe should receive the funding for their research? There are 7 days for Beastlords to volunteer their own pets over at the Quests tab to help out with the research for each department so they can make their case to the board. The Neurology Department is looking for Gryphons with high Constitution who are Slow-Minded, while the Intensive Care Department is looking for Brave Lykos with Weak Muscles. The species that assists its corresponding department the most will be rewarded by Muncipal Hospital with cheaper genetic research for a week.

"Strength and Cunning" Event Result

The victory of Knights was overwhelming. Throdamas, powerful as a Hive, have drastically lost the battles when facing their opponents in the tournament head-to-head and small group matches. However Ganymedians refused to admit their defeat, insisting that they would definitely win a real battle - the one that has nothing the same with those fancy contests for the pompous nobles that are good only for impressing young ladies.

227 Throdamas and 1162 Symurghs have participated in the challenge. Symurghs have won the competiton and will get a 50% EXP gain bonus for the next 7 days.

Strength and Cunning

Written by lamarqueisdead

The Champions of Ganymede have used Throdamas as beasts of war for countless generations. The heavily armored Defenders plow through enemy lines, spikes and plating pushing foes aside so that the strong and savage Warriors can cut them down.

The Knights of Io ride into battle on the backs of enormous, elegant Symurghs, using the beasts' agility, grandeur, and ethereal power to intimidate their foes and carry out elaborate battle plans.

The Champions of Ganymede are not renowned for cunning strategical maneuvers. Their methods are brutal and harsh, and seen by the Knights of Io as barbaric. "The Ganymedians are as cunning as a stone golem, and about as ruthless," goes a saying amidst the Ioian knights.

The Knights of Io have elegant strategy, but do not utilize the brute power of their beasts to win battles. Because of this, the Champions of Ganymede see them as too soft and too fussy. One Ganymedian general claimed that the Knights of Io "fail to use their beasts at their full strength", which she spoke of as dishonorable.

The Knights and Champions have agreed to meet on Europa to settle the debate and make peace. They will remain on Europa for a week, in which several tournaments will take place. Symurghs and Throdamas will compete against each other, testing the strength and agility of both species. The tournaments will take place at the Cavalier Field, where Beastlord mounts are trained.

The Champions of Ganymede seek strong Defender and Warrior Throdamas to represent Ganymede in the tournaments. The Knights of Io seek agile and clever Symurghs to represent Io. The Champions and Knights will utilitze the Quests system to acquire the participants.

The victorious species will receive accolades from all three nations and bonuses from their native planet. For 7 days, the winning species will receive a 50% increase to EXP gain.

"Noble Intent vs Dirty Dealings" Event Result

The Association of Gamblers has lost the challenge. The perfectly trained Gryphons of the Order have proved their worthiness once more. A deal’s a deal; the Gamblers will cover half of the expenses for all Gryphon training sessions for the next week.

354 Gryphons and 102 Cockatrices have participated in the challenge. Gryphons have won the competiton and will get a discount for training in the Riding Hall for the next 7 days.

Registration for the next exhibition is open!

The theme of this week's exhibition is "Aces from Io". All Symurghs are allowed to participate in this exhibition. The judges will mainly rate pets by their success in fights and breeding. Please read the full exhibition rules on the exhibition page.

Noble Intent vs Dirty Dealings

Written by Sylviianel

The Order of Knights is a noble order that upholds traditions and values. Lately, however, they have had their hands full dealing with the questionable activities of the Association of Gamblers. In committing these deeds the Gamblers are challenging the honor of the Knights and their ability to keep the peace, and they refuse to let the challenge go unmatched. The Order is determined to bring the Association of Gamblers to justice. To do so the Order has issued an official challenge against the Association and the Gamblers, as willing to take risks as ever, eagerly accepted.

Which organization do you support? Are you in favor of the idealistic values of the Knights or the risk taking lifestyle of the Gamblers? Head over to the Quests tab to take part in the duel: the Order of Knights is looking for Brave Gryphons with Gladiator while the Association of Gamblers is looking for Intuitive Cockatrices with Bet Expert. The dueling shall last for 7 days and each organization has agreed that, upon their defeat, they will help to pay for the training of the winning species for an entire week, making it less for the owner of the beasts.

The winning species will get a bonus: cheaper training for one week.
