SPRING UPDATE
Spring Update
Hello, Abraxans!
We'd like to announce the addition of a few items to the game:
More details on all these updates can be found below!
We'd like to announce the addition of a few items to the game:
◎ The formal return of Fortunes first introduced during the Nocwich event last summer
◎ A Lore page to provide more detail on the world from the gods to the types of festivals each nation celebrates year-round and a page listing the Gods of Abraxas
◎ An updated navigation menu to better organize links and an update to the layout for faction setting pages
More details on all these updates can be found below!
Fortunes
During Event #9, Lady Elin of the Lunae offered readings to the Summoned. We wanted to bring these back in a more permanent fashion so that both current and incoming players can have a chance to earn more readings and slowly unravel the mystery of what they've been told.
Earning a fortune is simple! It only requires participation in any two events. The two events don't need to be in a row and players can submit top levels or threads they've already used for Activity Check or Activity Rewards. Submissions should demonstrate sincere engagement with the plot and other players rather than threading solely to earn a reward.
Fortunes are meant to be a little bonus for participating in events that you would typically be doing regardless, so we hope this will add an extra element of interesting lore for your characters!
For current players, you can use your participation in events as far back as February 2023.

Lore & Gods
To help make details about the world more accessible, we've added two new pages.
◎ The LORE page covers general Abraxan beliefs about the gods, superstitions and myths, and the different festivals celebrated annually in all three major nations. We encourage you to use this information as background details for your logs and plots. Feel free to make note of the Crown Sprint in Thorne during the summer or mention the children who Roam during Eifstide around the Free Cities in the fall.
For MAY, spring festivals include Thorne's Blossom Cake Festival and baking competition, the Free Cities' Form Over Function art & fashion week, and Solvunn's Spring Equinox to usher in the new season with massive outdoor picnics and an abundance of flowers.
◎ The GODS page lists information about each individual god. Some of these gods have made an appearance while others have yet to be introduced. Anything listed on this page can be assumed as general knowledge for those in Solvunn. For characters outside of Solvunn, the specifics might be murkier. Things such as precise names, images, or stories might be lost.
Layout Updates
We've made some layout changes, including two key items:
Our next main event will be in June! We'll have Quests available in the meantime for the month of May. If you have questions about this update or anything else, you can reach out to us on the Mod Contact page or the FAQ.
◎ The NAVIGATION MENU has been reorganized to make it easier to find information. Links to our pages are now divided under additional categories, which we hope will help you find what you need! The Fortunes, Lore, and Gods pages have been included, as well.
◎ Our individual pages for each nation (linked on the side menu of the SETTING page) have been updated to make the statistical information easier to parse. Quick links are now included at the top of each page, as well.
