Celebrating Santarians With An Updated Spotlight!

Every Adventurer in Santae is truly unique, showcasing their own personal style through both their HA and the pets they choose as adventuring companions. The front page of Santae has always shown a randomly selected Santarian and Pet on a rotating basis, to give the community members that make the world of Santae so special a moment to shine.

Now, your moment in the spotlight shines brighter than ever with the newly revamped appearance of the homepage feature!

Sweet Style At The Chic Boutique

At Sanctuary's Chic Boutique, Santae's foremost fashion destination, Tatiana scours all of Santae to find the next hot trend. Right now, the whimsical candy-coated style of the Luminary Meadows is just so in -- so the Boutique is stocking some brand-new clothes that will let your HA's inner sweetness shine. The Candied Glaze Attire, Candied Sprinkle Loafers, and Candied Short Curls are here!

These magical garments are spun from sugar and decorated with candied accessories. Every piece of this outfit appears good enough to eat, but be warned -- it's not actually edible, no matter how tempting it looks!

These three new items of candied clothing join three pre-existing offerings: The Candied Swirl Dress, Candied Gumdrop Flats, and Candied Swirl Updo. These older items have all had their artwork and HA appearance updated. Tatiana would accept nothing less! This way, no matter which style you choose -- or if you plan to mix and match -- you can rest assured that every piece will look picture perfect.

A New Look For The Old Scholar

High above Aleriea, upon the floating archipelago of Halo Haven, a venerable library contains the secrets of the ages. Scholar Orion, who presides over the library, has made the study of Santae's mysteries his life's work!

Orion's wisdom and research skills have proven indispensable to Vespera's and the other Adventurers of Santae's explorations. It was his expertise that helped unlock the secrets of Ascendant's Shrine and the Lair of the Quenaris, and his research that brought the Resurrection Machine to life!

Orion's portrait has been updated with gorgeous new artwork! Now, the Scholar awaits the next opportunity to share his wisdom with the Adventurers of the world. With all the magic and mystery in Santae, the next research project can't be far off!

Venture Into The Bloomlight Garden

Vespera has a rare treat in stock at the Cash Shop and Dust Shop. Look closely at these icons carved in the likeness of Bloomlight Blossoms, and you may be able to catch a glimpse of the magic they hold: An enchanted garden is reflected within the dewdrops that adorn their leaves!

When you place the Bloomlight Blossom Essence down, it summons the Bloomlight Garden -- an ever-shifting sanctuary where sunlight warms the morning blooms and starlight dances through glowing vines after dusk. Your HA can enjoy the sunny garden by day, or stroll down the sparkling paths by night!

TL;DR

★ The Homepage Spotlight for Pets and Santarians has been updated with a new look.
★ 3 new Candied clothes items are stocking at the Chic Boutique. 3 older Candied items now have updated item art and HA art.
★  Scholar Orion's portrait has been updated.
★ New HA background in the Cash Shop and Dust Shop: Bloomlight Blossom Essence!

What Was That...? The Great Browkening!

On April 1st, you may have noticed your Natural pets sporting a strange new look...

No one is quite sure what caused it. Some blame a rogue spell from the Arcane Conclave. Others say it was a prank gone wrong at the Celestial Ascendants' styling salon. But overnight, the Natural pets of Santae woke up with fierce, dramatic, eyebrows of power!

Some say it was a form of protest against undercooked berry pies. Others believe the deities themselves were having a fashion showdown. But regardless, it sparked mass confusion, unnecessary staring contests, and an unusual number of pets demanding to speak to the manager.

The phenomenon lasted exactly 24 hours, after which the eyebrows mysteriously vanished. But with the origins of the phenomenon still unknown, Santae's mystics wonder if it could someday return...

Runestone Rush Is Almost Ready To Rock And Roll

Get ready, Adventurers!

Our newest HTML5 games, the match-3 game Runestone Rush, will release this week!

Are you ready to rock? Create matched sets of runestones to release their magic and increase your point total. This interactive adventure is a whole new way for you to test your skills, earn high scores, and win sanPoints!

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to our BMaC supporters, who contributed their time to help test Runestone Rush and ensure it's ready for release! If you'd like to join the Santae BMaC, you will also get a glimpse behind the scenes at upcoming features -- and the gratitude of the entire team for the support that helps make creating the world of Santae possible!

The creation of Runestone Rush was made possible by our generous Kickstarter backers, who helped us reach the stretch goal for even more HTML5 games to be added to the world of Santae. 

And it's thanks to that same incredible support that we are already able to reveal the next HTML5 game, coming soon: Berryblade Blitz!

The Gift Cannon

Tucked in the heart of Santae’s Sanctuary stands the legendary Gift Cannon. It's a delightfully over-engineered device designed to launch gifts sky-high and rain down goodies on all online Adventurers -- but no one’s quite sure who built it.

It’s a full-team effort: CJ insists on lighting the fuse with flair, Ember makes sure the gifts are perfectly packed (and labeled), Whixy may or may not have added a few surprise sparkles, and Vespera is only here because someone has to keep things semi-responsible.

The cannon activates at scheduled times throughout the day, sending wrapped presents to everyone currently online. It’s chaotic, sparkly, and occasionally slightly smoky!

Watch out -- the cannon's first gifts will be launching soon!

Silvershade's Adventure

"I've got something I'd like to share with you, Adventurers! Y'see, I've just gotten back from a trek into some of the deepest, wildest wilderness Santae has to offer."

"You'll hardly believe what I've found! The towering trees, the shady groves -- plants and water and sunshine most everywhere you look. It's a downright natural wonder! A place I reckon nearly any wild critter would find to be a natural paradise."

"I'm calling it the Wilderlands, and there's so much I'd like to tell you about it..."

"Get ready, Adventurers! I'll be ready to share soon!"

TL;DR

★ The outbreak of angry eyebrows on Natural pets seems to have subsided, for now... Happy April Fool's day!
★ Runestone Rush, the HTML5 match-3 game, will release this week!
★ Upcoming HTML5 game announced: Berryblade Blitz!
★ New feature coming soon: The Gift Cannon launches wrapped presents to online Adventurers at regular intervals.
★ Silvershade has discovered a mysterious new wilderness: The Wilderlands! They'll share more info about their adventure soon.

New Looks For The Toymaker And Traveler

The Terrible Toymaker and Klaven are the two latest characters to receive beautifully re-imagined official portrait art. Take a look!

The Toymaker's workshop can be found in the Shadow Veil Pass. This whimsical Pixie has a passion for creation, crafting and repairing toys to bring fun and joy to the Adventurers of Santae -- but she needs your help collecting the references and materials she needs for her task. Pay her a visit and complete her Quests for exclusive rewards in return!  Her brand-new artwork showcases the toys and tools of her craft. 

Little is known about the mysterious Klaven, but he has also been known to frequent Shadow Veil Pass in his travels across Santae. He once shared an unusual fossil with Vespera, providing invaluable assistance in the discovery of the Obsidian Depths and the mysteries deeper within. This Elf has both magic and wisdom at his disposal -- I wonder where he will next appear?
