The Santae Crew Is Expanding!
Want to be a part of the crew that helps make the amazing adventure that is Santae possible? Our staff team is ready to expand! We are looking for dedicated, talented Adventurers to fill out our Content Planning Assistant, Community Manager, and Moderator roles and become part of the Crew!
The Content Planning Assistant at Santae plays a critical role in supporting Santae Management by coordinating content schedules, organizing project timelines, and ensuring smooth execution of in-game updates, events, and community engagement efforts. This position functions similarly to an Administrative Assistant for Santae’s development team, ensuring that content remains well-organized and efficiently implemented.
As a Content Planning Assistant, you will collaborate with Santae Management, the Narrative Team, Artists, Developers, and Community Engagement Staff to keep projects on track. From scheduling in-game events to managing documentation and task delegation, your work will directly contribute to the game’s organization and long-term success.

The Community Manager plays a vital role in fostering an engaging, welcoming, and inclusive environment for our players. As the bridge between players and staff, the Community Manager ensures that the voice of the community is heard while maintaining a fun, respectful, and thriving space for all members. In this role, you will oversee community engagement across Discord, forums, and social media, ensuring that players feel connected, informed, and valued.

Finally, our Moderator team is hiring! Moderators play a key role in upholding Santae’s community guidelines, ensuring that interactions remain positive and reflective of our core values. You will be responsible for organizing events, responding to player feedback, and proactively addressing concerns or conflicts.

New Fish Make A Splash
Ahoy, fisherfolk! Something is stirring in the depths of the Abyssal Lake...are you a bold enough angler to explore the deep?
Captain Finn's shelves at Cast & Catch are stocked with all you will need to confront this watery mystery. Grab your bait and rod and get ready to reel in a whopper -- if you're lucky!
The waters of the Abyssal Lake are deep, dark, and suffused with magic, creating the perfect habitat for hidden hunters. The glowing scales and fins of its translucent fish allow them to blend seamlessly into the swirling colors of the Abyss.
Yet even more enigmatic is the Ancient Grove in the Harmonic Heartwoods, where something even stranger still lurks beneath the surface. Legends speak of the elusive Elderfin Basiliskfish, whose shimmering emerald scales echo with the ancient magic of the forest itself. Adventurers who catch a glimpse of this legendary hunter often speak of fortunes untold—but most return with only stories of shadows in the deep.
If shallower waters are more to your taste, why not plan a fishing trip to the shady Ancient Grove? The river that snakes through the towering trees is home to its own fair share of marvelous fish. The Sylvan Glimmerfish blends into its environment with shimmering rootlike tendrils. The Spiritveil Koi, a rare catch indeed, has absorbed some of the magic and wisdom of the Elderwood itself, resulting in the arcane etchings on its scales.
Good luck, anglers! Visit Fishing today to try your hand at reeling in these new fish for yourself.
TL;DR
★ The Santae Team is hiring for three positions: Content Planning Assistant, Community Manager, and Moderator.
★ Five new fish can be found in the Abyssal Lake.
★ Three new fish can be found in the Ancient Grove.

Discover Delicious New Hidden Avatars
Two new hidden avatars are ready to be unveiled somewhere in Santae! What could be the sweet secret behind unlocking these two avatars for yourself?
Good luck, Adventurers! When you discover them, they'll count toward completion of your personal avatar collection -- plus, you can use them to add a bit of personal flair to your forum posts.
The Trading Post Is Almost Open For Business...
On the boardwalk at Lani Archipelago, something exciting is taking shape. Vendors from across Santae are gathering to set up kiosks and booths full of exciting wares.
Soon, this place will become a thriving market! During their visit, Adventurers will be able to easily trade with others. The trading hub is almost ready -- so look forward to more news about its grand opening soon!
Coming Soon: On-Site Support Tickets
The Santae Team strives to communicate clearly with our community, and as part of that we want to make sure it is simple and secure to contact us about any support you may need in your adventures across Santae. The system we are currently using on Discord for support tickets will soon be closing their services -- so we have expedited the creation of a support ticket system on site!
Using this platform, you will be able to submit support tickets, view your active ticket(s), and chat with the staff assisting you -- all without leaving Santae.
We will make a full announcement about the changes when the new ticket system is implemented!
Silvershade's Familiar Find
Silvershade stood looking out over the Minimal Ranch, breathing in the fresh air and admiring their handiwork. The morning's chores were all done, and the fields and skies were full of Minimals happily roaming, playing, and sunbathing in the fresh Spring air.
Everything was perfect! The lush green grass with patches of colorful flowers. The clear blue sky with a dark smudge of smoke drifting across it...
"Wait a minute!" Silvershade cried. Smoke?! That probably wasn't good.
The rancher hurried across the ranch toward the tree where the smoke seemed to be coming from. If a fire was starting, they needed to put it out fast.
Arriving, Silvershade looked frantically through the branches, looking for the source of the smoke. They quickly spotted a fiery flash -- was the tree on fire?
As Silvershade watched, the flicker of flame lifted off from the tree and spiraled up into the sky. Silhouetted against the clouds were the blazing wings and fiery tail of a Phoehen, flying away!
"Oh!" Silvershade laughed in relief. "Phew," they sighed. "This is so much better than I feared. No problems at all -- and the Phoehens are back!" The rare birdlike Minimals were an uncommon sight, and Silvershade would relish the chance to help Adventurers track them down.
As Silvershade walked back toward the main part of the ranch, movement in the clouds got their attention. The sunlight was flashing and sparkling off of something flying high in the sky. It looked like a brilliant diamond flying overhead!
Silvershade shaded their eyes with a hand to take a closer look. Sure enough, it was a sparkling Iricampus high in the atmosphere, almost too far to be seen. If it wasn't for the brilliant reflectiveness of its wings, Silvershade might have missed it completely!
"What a rare treat!" Silvershade exclaimed. "I had better prepare for a tracking expedition. The Phoehen and Iricampus are back for now -- but I can't imagine they will stay for long!"
For 7 days, Phoehen and Iricampus will be available via Herding! Visit Silvershade's Ranch to get started.
TL;DR
★ Two new hidden avatars are now available.
★ The trading post will be open soon. You can visit the area now in Lani Archipelago, but trading is not yet available.
★ We are developing an on-site support ticket system to replace the Discord system. We will announce when the new system is live and the old one disappears.
★ Iricampus and Phoehen are temporarily available via Herding -- track them down in the next 7 days!
