The trees have finally shifted color to hues of orange and yellow littering the ground and sky from large gusts of wind. Rhea was absolutely in awe of her surroundings as she made her way along the winding path of the forest. Pikk grumbled happliy from his puch as he watched another leaf gracefully dance in the wind as it made its way past him. “It's finally autumn Pikk! You know what that means!” Pikk croaked happily in response. It meant food. And food was always his favorite. “Gosh FEASTS. So many feasts! We'll have to make our way to Everdenn as sooon as I deliver this letter to Astor.” She pranced on. Pikk croaked in acknowledgment but continued to watch the leaves fall. The ground crunched under Rhea's feet and she sighed heavily stretching her wings. “Too bad my wings are still too sore to fly though, huh Pikk. We'd surely get to Fayewood much faster then this if they would just manage to stop being so sore.” Her voice trailed off dissapointedly, but immediately her ears perked up. “Do you think Astor decorated yet? He always goes WAY overboard for Hallow. Oh I just can't wait to see!” Her pace picked up, the idea of Astors gleaming Hallow decorations, the pumpkins, skulls, spiders, bats... so many spooky things drove her forward on the damp path. “Maybe he hasn't decorated yet, but if he hasn't we can help! Hallow is just around the corner!”

-----------------

The month of October is here, and with it, the Hallow Event! There is a whole bunch of autumn themed quests to do, each location has a quest as well as there are event quests ready to be done to start gathering hallow items! Hallow items work for some new seasonal recipes, and will let you redeem some new event exclusive traits!

With the new traits expect some fun Hallow themed mod adopts showing off the new traits this month! Ready to earn the new traits? There's a bunch of Event quests to get you started! Event quests will redeem you Hallow Corn, an event currency that can be spent in the Hallow Shop that will open on the 8th of October, and a treat bag, a bag that contains a random Hallow Item! Some items that you will get from Hallow Quests won't have an image right away, don't worry, it's not a bug! I greatly miscalculated my time to finish the assets for the Hallow Event, but still wanted to start it now, so you can start earning the items! The few missing images should be filled in by the end of the week as they are on the top of my priority list!

 

 

Hallow isn't the only thing going on in Kyvalore though. Something seems to be stirring in the Umbra Wilds. Something dangerous...


“The spirits grow even more restless as days churn on. Frantic whispers turn and push up against the minds of any with even a touch of connection to Spirit magic. Unintelligible pleas and warnings finally give way to a word. Sahmaron. Sahmaron Sahmaron Sahmaron. It comes. Deep within the Umbral Wilds, the Sahmaron awakens. Three pairs of large, taloned paws crawl out of it's hibernation. Instinctively it leaps, it's serpentine body clinging to the bark halfway up an ancient tree. Roots pulling themselves from the ground as the force of the impact begins to topple the tree. Before it could fall the beast launches again, and again, felling two more trees in it's escape from the canopy of the forest. Finally finding a tree that could support it's weight, the Sahmaron tastes the air with a tongue that cares not for meat or bone. Eyes narrow as it finds what it was looking for, and leaps to it's next wooden perch and victim. It found a smell that should bring it to food, enough food to satiate it's great hunger. It comes for Fayewood.”

The Sahmaron has been spotted hunting for the souls of the inhabitants of Fayewood! It's time to defend the forest city from the attacking monster!

 

You can read more about the monster here: https://painted-relics.com/world/concepts/2

 

This is a full sitewide battle! That means if you complete the Fayewood Quest to defend the city, you deal damage to the monster and it is tracked on a health bar. The health bar wont be shown until the first attack is made. Your attacks are based on your characters power, and if your character is a fully trained mage their knowledge stat gets added to their attack to make it even more powerful.

This isn't all for Hallow, so keep and eye out and expect more coming to your door soon.

 

 

 Happy October and Happy Hallow!
