Graphic that says "Our Journey Begins" in a handwritten script font, and "Creation Period Officially Starts Today. December 15th - April 15th" towards the bottom. The graphic shows the running sprites of original 8 travelers from the video game Octopath Traveler in OCTOPATH order, and the background is of a slightly blurred and yellowed version of the Orsterran map.

Event graphic that says "Come join us for a Brainstorming Event." Underneath it says the sessions, dates, and times: first session January 15th at 12:00am UTC, second session January 17th at 3:00pm UTC. The card is backdropped by the Orsterra map from Octopath Traveler with a while boarder, and the three scholars--Cyrus, Sofia, and Osvald--stand with their path action at the top of the graphic.

Graphic that says "A New Journey is About to Begin" in a large handwritten/script font. Underneath it reads "Discord Invite & Submission Guidelines Added to Our Carrd." Above the text is Isla the Cait Scholar's pixel sprite holding a white pointer as seen in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. The background of the image is a slightly blurred map of Orsterra overlayed by a semi-transparent light yellow to evoke that of aged paper.

Screenshot of the homepage for an Octopath Traveler fanzine's carrd. It displays the original 8 travelers in OCTOPATH order, and underneath them it reads "A New Journey Awaits!" in a handwritten typeface. Underneath a brief description, there are black buttons for "About & FAQ," "Schedule," and "Submissions." Contact buttons for email, bluesky, Tumblr, and discord are at the bottom in blue.
