Here are our featured winners:

Congratulations!
The current theme is Book Covers!
Time to design an Aywas-related book cover or book cover scene. :3 This can be a brand new book cover, or your rendering of an existing Aywas book item. You can use any medium you like, from digital to craft materials. You may also create a scene featuring a book cover, or multiples (like a library, or a pet reading, etc.). Have fun!
Official Aywas stock is permitted for this theme.
Good luck!

You must still follow the Instructions and can ask questions on the FAQ thread.
Thank you! :3

Dragons vs. Bugs!
Site Update

Evening! :3 I just wanted to let everyone know that Yasu is working on a few glitches that have popped up in Dragon's Canyon.
- Fixed: If you couldn't turn in gems after completing 3 quests, 6 quests, etc., this should now work for you. This was not impacting everyone, but if you still have a problem with this, please report it in the Glitches forum.
- Being Investigated: Quest capping at Level 15 and the Grumpy Tavi not taking gems after you max out.

I will announce the event end date and details on the Top Questers contest when these issues are remedied, as we want to make sure you have enough time to enjoy Dragon's Canyon without pesky bugs. :3 Thanks for your patience as Yasu works out the kinks in this new set of scripts!

Skeleton Key Reminder
Site Update

Don't forget to pick up a Skeleton Key from the Advent Calendar at any time on Wednesday, November 12th.
The Skeleton Key is an account-bound, one-use item.

Once you have a key, you can visit the Treasure Chest page here. Using the key to unlock a chest will grant you one random prize from a pool of Halloween goodies, including some exclusive pets, and if you're really lucky, maybe something extra shiny like a Glittering Rock or even a Design Ticket!
Again, as long as you have a Skeleton Key, you will be able to open a chest.
There are more than enough prizes for everyone because we are using a chance-based script, rather than putting in a fixed number of all items/pets, and your key can be used at any time. You'll probably get the most enjoyment out of your prize sooner rather than later, though!

If everything goes well, you might see a return of a similar feature during December for our winter holidays. :3 So I hope you enjoy!

The Hidden Dragon's Canyon
Site Update

There be dragons! needchocolatenow (#41056) let them out!
And where there are dragons, there is a very shiny trail of treasure...

A wonderful world of wings and fire awaits you in Dragon's Canyon, a beautiful realm dappled with jewels--and, of course, DRAGONS!
Before you run off to the Canyon, I have a few important nuggets of wisdom to bestow upon you.




Currency
The currency in this realm is gems; they come in emerald, sapphire, ruby, and magicked (white) varieties, and each has a different point value.
Emerald = 1 point. Sapphire = 5 points. Ruby = 10 points. Magicked = 20 points.
In a new and wondrous twist of events, there is no seasonal shop--but your gems will still come in handy.

Quests
Questing in Dragon's Canyon is quite special. For every 3 quests you complete, you will have the opportunity to appease a rather grumpy dragon in an attempt to steal a coveted egg from him. How will you snatch an egg out from under his gaze? By tossing gems at him, of course!
So, after you finish your first three quests, you will be invited to the Dragon's Lair. Then, you must throw a certain number of gems at him to be rewarded with eggs. I'll give you a hint: the first time, he wants 60 gem points. You don't have to give him 60 all at once; if you give him 10 and then come back with 50 more, that will work as well. He will then reward you with colorful eggs.
After you complete 3 more quests, you will be able to throw more gems at the dragon for more eggs. This time, he'll want 120. Again, after another 3 quests, you can snag another egg, but it will cost you 240. If you complete 3 more quests, you will have another egg opportunity, but it will cost you 480.

Free Eggs
What the Grumpy Dragon Tavi doesn't want you to know is that he has a soft side.
Once an hour, you are able to collect a free egg from the nest!




Eggsurprises!
You might be wondering what you're going to do with a hoard of eggs that would rival any dragon's nest.
Since there is no seasonal shop for this event, you probably guessed that the eggs have more value than just looking pretty--and they do! Each egg is openable, and will yield a random prize. I won't tell you exactly what you can find in each egg, but the prizes range from food, clothes and collectables to fauna and some even cooler eggs. *wink*
P.S., not all of the prize items are activated yet. They have a note in their description that states this, but their magic will be revealed soon! Keep an eye out. :3

But Eri! If I can just get free eggs, why should I bother getting gems and questing?
Because we're going to have a high score table, and some pretty cool prizes for those of you that prove you are a top quester. More on that to come!

Adventure Items
You'll find a few helpful items strewn about the canyon, but I wanted to bring special attention to one in particular: Dragon Dung. Use this on another user to throw a random amount of gems at them to assist them with their questing endeavors!

What else will you encounter on your journey?
Why, the stars of the show of course--the Dragons!









Note: We have more pets to add, so hang tight and keep an eye out for an announcement! (Descriptions are also still being added to some of the colorations.)

Enjoy the canyon!
(And let us know if anything is behaving wonky; this is a new feature for us, so we'll be ready to make any necessary tweaks. Thanks. :3)

Customs, customs everywhere...
Site Update
Good evening folks,
Unfortunately, due to a physical injury, Graymare is unable to process customs and crystal checks as fast as we've all become accustomed to, but is trying to soldier on through as best as she can.
We apologise for the delays that have occurred and may continue to occur for a short while as she heals, but we will do our best to keep all custom aspects going, and appreciate your patience during this time =)
