Welcome to Aywas • Aywas

A strange and wonderful new Raw pet has appeared!

Introducing...

... the Trillaling! But you can call them Trills for short. :3 Click the image above to download the PSD. The Trillaling is a nocturnal, elusive creature that dwells in underground caverns and spends most of its time mining for crystal pieces. It is believed that Trills use these fragments in everything from their nests to dietary needs, and have subsequently evolved into part crystal and rock themselves! Trillalings will occupy Raw Crystals for a full two months (until ~September 27th). However, we will also release the new occupant in mid-September to get back on our regular Raw schedule. Let's give a warm welcome to our newest pet with a Coloring Contest! Deadline: August 2nd at 11:59 p.m. Psst, if you're wondering about the Raw contests, you should see news of that sometime after Scavenger Hunt. So you can look forward to the next couple of upcoming Raws being created from your ideas!

P.S. You still have until 11:59 p.m. tonight to get any last-minute Walooph customs submitted. After that time, you can create them with the Antiquity Stave items. Enjoy! - Eri

Art Gallery

The art gallery has been judged! The theme was Adventure Battles* and we received some awesome, dynamic entries! Here are our featured winners:

They won:

Congratulations! The current theme is Pets as Items ! Your challenge is to create Aywas pets as items; for example, if the Abstract Oske was an item (or set of items), what would that look like? Customs are eligible for inspiration, I'd just suggest putting an image of the pet in your entry somewhere, even if it's a site coloration so that I can easily see the correlation. :3 Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme. Good luck! Some new themes have also been added! August 3rd - August 9th: No theme due to Scavenger Hunt. August 10th - August 16th: Family Reunions August 17th - August 23rd: Lunar Meteor* August 24th - August 30th: Rubber Stamps August 31st - September 6th: Aywas Dog/Pet Houses Have an idea for a theme you'd like to see featured? Suggest one here! - Eri

The Raw Crystal magic is about to shift!

The Walooph has overstayed its welcome a little bit (sorry about that!), so it will be leaving the Raw Crystals after July 27th at 11:59 p.m. Be sure to get any remaining custom designs submitted by then; after that deadline, the Walooph will be retired and creatable via Antiquity Staves. Make sure you snag your very own copy of the Mystic Walooph above from the BP Shop by this time as well! - Eri

Remember the new random potions I hinted to earlier this month?

They're here! :3 We now have random potions for the Wibbit, Lepu, Fens, Bumble and Kernal now stocking in Draconic Creations and findable through normal gameplay. As their name suggests, these potions will change your active pet into a random coloration of that genus. (Psst, I'll also probably be putting some in the Donation Box. So keep an eye out for that. *wink*) We hope you enjoy the potions and wish you luck if you get your paws on one! - Eri
