Release is live! EbilCorp's Mogugus are all the rage, and one of their loyal customers is going to become Chairman Platinum's successor if they strike gold! Someone's not too happy about that, and you'll be working with them to uncover an Ebil scam.

“Here’s another tip I learned from Queen Victoria herself! Iron piercings drive off Fairies, too. They assume your entire body's contaminated, and keep their distance...for the most part. Some of them like the dangerous edge, which is incredibly annoying." - Sir Valence

"Fae-Hunting 101 - Fae will avoid iron at all costs. An iron arrow or even a swipe from an iron fire poker can ward off sprites like these. I especially recommend hanging iron horseshoes around baby cribs. That should prevent Changeling incidents."

Release is live! It looks like you caught Oishii red-handed in an act most foul! Just kidding. She isn’t actually cooking your friends (even if she was sneaking slurps behind your back). The both of you need to save Twilly from some devious Fairies, and rescue their Moglin Meals!

"Hmm, Twilly was sure there were more of us Moglins around. Where did they go?" - Twilly

"Twilly! We have to get you out of there! The Fairies! T-They've already ea - hm? *sniff sniff* This aroma...it isn't half bad...Would it be weird if I did a little taste test..." - Oishii

“Hiyas! Twilly here! Me and all our Moglin friends were invited to a super special Harvest Fest feast by a bunch of really nice Fairies! They're even giving us a fun spa day! Mmm! The 'bath salts' smell yummerly! You should jump in and join us!"

"I find it interesting that they're so sweet and kind, but inspire certain people to punt or squish them. What if we can sense that Moglins have the potential to be predators?" - Aria

"Let's chalk it up to 'cuteness aggression' and hope that's true. Like, hope a lot." - Tara

"Even though Moglins are treated as prey by a number of monsters (and people), they have front-facing eyes. Predators, like cats and wolves, have those. Prey animals, like deer or rabbits, would have eyes set wider apart." - Aria

"Uh huh…" - Tara

“Consider this. Frame the new school as a direct rival to Dragonrune Hall. The spirit of competition will motivate students to excel."

"Grand idea, Lady Xaria! Hm, jocks vs nerds- I mean scholars! That could lead to trouble and bullying."

"Everyone goes through growing pains."

"This is an open niche. Untapped potential. An academy where noble heirs and aspiring adventurers can mingle. We'd have professors refine their martial and tactical arts. Perhaps the Queen could share her skills with the next generation. Yes, I'll make a plan!" - Sir Valence

"We can't exactly call that group of four in Battleon a 'school.' Same with the hall of fifty mentors. They're at each other's throats when no one's looking. Let's scratch out Skyguard Academy, too. That's its own thing, and not easily accessible. So, if I'm right..."

“Dragonrune Hall, the Alchemy Academy, and I'll even add Necro-U to the list. That's a good number of schools, but they all specialize in magic or an adjacent topic. Where can you go to master the sword, become a Knight, or learn war tactics?"
November 18, 2025 at 9:09 PM
“If Tara’s magic is all lattes and cappuccinos, what about Warlic’s? I'm sure it'd taste refined like sparkling grape juice! Or maybe it'd be fluffy and sweet like toasty marshmallows! I have to try! Especially with how I toast mine until they get a cool bubbly black shell."

“Lady Celestia said that even the creek nearby tasted like an affogato. Hans helped her collect the water in barrels to save for later. I'm so jealous! You get to have toffee (tea and coffee) time whenever you want! Invite me next time! We can steep rubber and vulture feathers!"

“The last time Tara helped make a Harvest Fest feast, her magic leaked into the mix. It was amazing! Everything tasted like milky lattes, and we got superpowers for a little while! I could read minds, and Zhoom got infrared vision! - Oishii

Warden Vici of the Hollowborn calls upon his brethren. One of their own is about to break out of his shackles. The Darkdweller intends to escape, and bring ruin on his Darkblood descendants and Hollowborn kin. Blood will flow in tidal waves if you don't step in to challenge him.
November 15, 2025 at 12:22 AM
“He was sealed away when his children failed to execute him. But, the Darkdweller wasn't immortal. Long-lived and durable, he finally breathed his last… and became Hollow. Now that he's one of us, it is the Hollowborn's duty to ensure that he never sees the surface again."

“Have you ever seen a Darkblood that walks on four legs? Never or rarely, yes? There's a reason for that. Long ago, the Darkbloods imprisoned a kinslayer. This ancient, perhaps even one of the first of their kind, was known as the Darkdweller." - Vici

“I carried bells around whenever I went exploring. It tricks pesky Fairies into thinking the Last Bellringer's nearby and scares them off. Our neighbours put bells in their kids pockets to keep them from getting snatched. To humans, the Bellringer's one of the helpful Fae."
November 12, 2025 at 6:58 PM
“To the Fall Fae, they’re a reaper. By the time the last leaves fall, the autumn spirits must sink beneath the snow to usher in winter. If they’re naughty, staying up past their ‘bedtime,’ the chime of a bell will begin to stalk their shadows. I've even heard it ring myself.”
November 12, 2025 at 6:58 PM
“Dad used to read stories about all the Fairy Courts, and the Last Bellringer might be one of them. We aren’t sure, but the name hints that they’re the last of their kind. Even though they look scary, no harm will come to you unless the Bellringer's provoked on purpose."

"Scythes fascinate the Fae of the forests. They approach farmers to cause mischief, but there's always a chance that the hand on the scythe belongs to the Last Bellringer - a reaper-like figure who could make even the fair folk think twice." - Aria

"That said, I let fellows from the Shadowscythe and the like attend meetings when we were bound by the Alliance. I keep forgetting that the Alliance dissolved, but those folks keep coming. Diligence is a virtue...Well, if they cause problems, I'll take care of it." - Lord Harley

"If you can beat me in a fight, I'll waive fees and dungeon time even if it's for public indecency (skeletons with no clothes are considered naked). We hold the meetings in the arena anyway. Might as well put it to use! Mind you, I fight harder when I'm up against hooligans."

“Did you know that we have weekly town hall meetings in the Guardian Tower? Most adventurers skip them, thinking they'd have to sit through dull topics like infrastructure or budgeting. They miss out on the evil relic hunts, and trials by combat."
