The Mourning Grusim: Tamed!
We are thrilled to announce the extraordinary news of this monumental achievement in the History of Santae! After the long and tireless efforts of Vespera and Vixon, along with the help of the community, Vespera and Vixon have been able to successfully tame this mythical creature! The Grusim, once thought to only exist in present day through the tales of the elders, ancient texts and paintings from the past, now roams Santae once again!
The final showdown with this mighty creature in the Lava Caves, was a fierce and exhausting time. Vespera and Vixon, along with the entire community behind them, confronted the mythical beast together. Along with the abundance of sanDust Vespera and Vixon brought with them, as told in the ancient text, the cavern was filled with a brilliant blue light, and finally have tamed this mighty creature.
In celebration of this historic event, Vespera has been able to infuse the essence of the tamed Grusim into a magical Divine Figurine! Vespera has discovered that offering the Grusim 15,000 sanDust enchants it into the figurine. However, during Alpha Testing, thanks to the efforts of the community and the massive amounts of sanDust collected, adventurers will only need 10,000 sanDust to enchant their own Grusim into a figurine!
You can now visit the Lava Caves throughout the day and attempt to tame a Grusim yourself! Vespera assures us that it is now safe for adventures to visit the Grusim and that different colored Grusim will appear throughout the day. She has extracted all this from the ancient texts. These unique figurines allow adventurers to change one of their pets into their very own Grusim that will roll over to Beta!
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, this journey has shown the strength of our community and the magic that can happen when we unite towards a common goal! The return of the Grusim is not just a victory for Vespera and Vixon, but for every adventurer in Santae! Thank you all again for your contributions, together we have made history!

Rampage in the Lava Caves!
Vixon and Vespera gathered as much sanDust as they could carry before heading back to the Flamefall Cascades to the Grusim's lair. They gingerly made their way deeper and deeper into the tunnels, unsure of precisely where the Grusim was after their time away. As they approached the opening in the cavern, they heard a low, throaty growl. It seems the Grusim had not moved much since they were here last.
"The tunnels here are narrow... and this creature is fast. There must be a safer place for us to spread the sanDust in case he keeps his grouchy disposition..." Vixon thought aloud. "Perhaps if we spread the sanDust in the Lava Caves cavern instead? Its a good distance from here, and there is more space to maneuver.
Vespera nodded in agreement and they headed for the Lava Caves. Occasionally, they would hear the lion-like roars of the Grusim behind them, and the tremors its thrashing tail created throughout the tunnels.
When they arrived at the Lava Caves, they got to work spreading the sanDust across the cavern floor.
"Vespera, look! It seems like the ancestors left a message in this cavern, too!" Vixon exclaimed.
"Be sure not to speak the words out loud this time until we are ready." After the two had left the tunnels, Vespera had explained to Vixon how the ancient text worked as an incantation. Luckily, she learned how to read ancient texts in her travels. "Beware, traveler, for the mourning Grusim's lair lies ahead. While 25,000 sanDust can tame a Grusim, the mourning Grusim requires far more. Its despair fuels its strength and agility. Do not call upon him unless your adventurer spirit is strong."
"But what does that mean? How much sanDust do we need to appease the mourning Grusim? How strong does our adventurer spirit need to be?"
"I don't know," Vespera responded quietly. "The next line of text is the one that calls him. How much sanDust do you have left? I only have about 125,000."
"I have about the same. That means we have ten times the amount needed to tame a Grusim. I think that is enough..." Vixon trailed off.
"Prepare yourself, then. I will speak the incantation out loud now." Vespera responded.
"Rmnongiu Grusim llweca pnouoyu. Neetr anerchevt fetoh raesndsontg!"
The sanDust flashed the brilliant blue again, and for a moment there was silence. Then, another feral roar echoed through the tunnels and several thunderous cracks could be heard -- the Grusim was barreling through the tunnels with its tail thrashing wildly. Vespera and Vixon could hear its paws pounding on stone but stood their ground in the Lava Cave.
As the Grusim drew near, Vespera and Vixon reached into their sanDust pouches carefully. The Grusim sprang into the Lava Cave cavern and crouched low, another growl rumbling from within.
Vixon was closest to the Grusim and threw handfuls of sanDust at the beast. For a moment, the Grusim seemed disoriented and sprang away, landing on top of a rock pile. Vespera lept up and flung more sanDust at the Grusim. The beast blinked slowly and shook its large head. The two adventurers gathered the last of their sanDust and covered the Grusim with it.
Vixon could feel his heart pounding in its chest. For just a few beats, the entire cavern was still and silent. Then, without warning, the Grusim snarled and swiped at Vespera, but a flash of fire protected her much to both of their surprise.
Vespera leaped away with a gasp, "The Sunlord's blessing! Quick, look for the Sunlord's chest, it must be in this cavern! The magic of the items protected me from harm."
Vespera and Vixon scrambled away from the Grusim's flailing scorpion tail. Each dived in the opposite direction, trying to split the beast's attention. It took another swipe at Vespera but luckily she was out of its reach. The Grusim swung its tail wildly again, this time smashing into the nest in the center of the cavern -- out tumbled a flash of fiery red.
"There!" Vixon yelled! Vespera glanced over and quickly ran to the stash and stuffed it all into her pouch.
"Time to get to safety! We'll need to gather more sanDust and return to tame the creature. If we tame the mourning Grusim, we'll bring the Grusim species back to Santae! Until then, let's share this treasure with all of the adventurers that have been gathering sanDust to help!"
