Tutorial TutorialNew Items: Throne Room Patterns
My gratitude for all of the replies offered by our Hope allies! By your word and that confirmed by my father, the king, we have confirmed the Everstorm is at a downswing. Thus do I commit my own apparel into patterns to be shared; by Merlin’s grace this act shall be the last needed for us to be spared. Tell me now, when you look again upon the breach - is the Withering yet fully cleared from the beach?
With this final act of changing my wares, it seems that I am no longer in immediate need of heirs. Dreadnoughtus and my many suitors have been so patient with my choice… yet… I cannot help but agree with the concerned others voice.
Othidar, you must understand that I still need this to be planned - and someday soon, not time unknown! It is my birthright and my duty to the throne. The threat posed by the Everstorm has been stayed: therefore by royal decree shall the wedding be delayed. I wish to take this fortunate boon of time to get to know my suitors better than even my rhyme.
And in the meanwhile, Lenta, please continue your trial! I wish to learn all we can about this strange new land. If it holds some secret to end the Withering’s effect, all effort must be made for every theory to be checked!

New Items: Forest Fittings Patterns
Attention, please! It has come time that the Princess wishes to choose for our land a future regent. Over the last seven days, many noble offers have been received and judged fairly based upon the qualities that would best suit our future ruler - yes, judged by the Princess’ selected advisors. Yes, even Dizzy.
Our opinions have been submitted for her review, to be considered alongside her own personal intuition. Those of you from Hope, who do not know our customs well yet, please recognize your duty at this crucial time of alliance and kinship. Your feelings for the Princess have been made clear, and now, at the time of her choice, you must respect whatever choice she makes, be that for yourself or another. Is that understood?
…Thank you for your understanding. Please take your grace by means of bow, curtsy, or otherwise, for her Highness, Princess Celariel of the Enchanted Forest, Heir to the Pact of Merlin, Regent by royal decree of the Heart of the Forest.
New Premium Items: Glow Paint!
Sing A Sad Song
My heartwood, everything is happening in so short a time! With the Everstorm calming, it appears that a number of students have been able to make contact with something on the other side of the storm. In the meantime, I’ve been dedicating myself to experiment upon Lycus’ original Siren’s Body Paint. With some more study, as well as several new focus items in the form of... Sea Shells? That is what these are called, yes?
Yes! With the help of these melodic seashells, I have been able to discover several unique reactions to the Body Paint! I have asked Headmaster Nicolas to stock them for me, as I have some catching up to do regarding plans for the royal wedding. But hopefully you will all find these new body paints helpful searching out in the storm.
The original style of body paint henceforth comes in nine new colors. I’m not quite sure why I named them as I did… It was simply what came to mind as I made them, like the lyrics to a song I barely know. Hmm. As I was saying! The new colors are Angler, Leviathan, Selkie, Kraken, Kelpie, Triton, Undine, Rusalka, and Abyssal.
But I also was able to reconfigure the paint into a new, much more powerful enchantment as well! I have decided to call this Favor Body Paint, and it comes in all the aforementioned colors. Both can allow you to breathe freely in the water, so choose whichever you thinks suits you best.
You will be able to purchase these as either the Glowing Body Paint Badge Bundle to get one color of each style, or you can purchase the Pick A Part: Glowing Body Paint Badge and pick any one color you’d like.
Now if you’ll please pardon me, I have some pudding to scrape off my tree...
Experiment Progress Echoed
...If I had a lonely song to sing...
O-oh! Right, right, s-sorry, I almost didn't notice you w-waiting there. That song's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it on the beach... I-it's pretty, but it sounds so.. lonely... sad.... regretful? A-and since Lenta took over the next steps in our e-experiment on the Siren’s Body Paint, I, well... I've been thinking that I, I know I have a lot to regret myself... pushing ahead with this experiment, bringing this storm down on us all... messing up Andre's stock a-and having no way to make it up to him... causing that princess to marry for p-protection, or, or something...
Listening to this echo m-made me realize.. h-how much I've hurt people. I... can't stop the Everstorm myself, o-or heal wounds with magic, but... but.... d-don't laugh, okay? I.. I just... thought m-maybe everyone could use a hug.. from Nurse Stuffy. To feel better.
