Yena Update!
Pets

It seems that the Yena has escaped from the confines of Antiquity Staves!
Team 1337 has chosen to use their Raw Revival Genus Voucher from Scavenger Hunt on the pet they brought to life for us.
The Yena is now a Common genus and can be found in the region of...
Ara!

And is therefore now creatable with Orbs and eligible for future hybrids. :)
(I believe I updated all custom items accordingly, but please let me know if you run into one where the Yena should be available in the dropdown but isn't, or vice versa. Thanks!)

Art Gallery
Contests

The art gallery has been reset for a new week!
We did not receive any qualifying entries in the timeframe for the Aywas Love Triangles theme, so we are going to go ahead and proceed with the next one. :) (I think we'll retry that theme in February. *wink*)
The current theme is Business Cards!
This can be any medium you like and can be for any Aywas-related "business," but there's a lot of room for interpretation. You can make a card for an Adventure merchant, an NPC/shop clerk, a pet, etc.! You can even do something like Rosetta makers, geode miners, random potion brewers and so forth. Have fun with it. :3
We have also adjusted some theme dates and added new ones!
Upcoming themes:
December 8 - December 14: Feast
December 15 - December 21: Seasons*
December 22 - December 28: Holiday Cards
December 29 - January 4: New Year
January 5 - January 11: Egg Hatching
Good luck!

Aymas Advent Calendar
Site Update

Santa Lunaris has returned with a magical bag of seemingly endless gifts for us!
Every day during the month of December, visit him at the Advent Calendar to take home a small treat from his stash of wondrous things! It could be a collectible, a food item, weapon, fauna, or something extra special. :3
Enjoy! Just make sure you stay on the nice list. *wink*

(And make sure you take a look at Slash's post below regarding Super Sunday and Cyber Monday! It has lots of shiny things you won't want to miss.)

I have a few quick reminders for everyone. :3

The December BP Shop and December GP Shop threads are wrapping up tonight at 11:59 p.m.! We will also be opening a holiday pet submission thread soon, so if a (holiday or wintery/seasonal) pet you submit for one of these contests does not get selected, you will have another opportunity to enter it for site use. c:

Our submission thread for December Monthly Customs is also closing tonight at 11:59 p.m. Be sure to share your "favorite things" with us!

GP Announcements!
Site Update

We are so, so excited to announce that we now support two new payment processors -- Google Wallet and Amazon Payments! The brand new Purchase GP Page displays the new payment processors.
It was a long, hard battle against API monsters and IPN beasts, but we've finally succeeded and we're very excited about it! More choice is always good, right? :)
Oh, we're also happy to announce that Paintbrushes are officially automated. No longer shall you have to wait to receive one.

We hope you enjoy the new payment processors! It's been suggested many times to offer an alternative to PayPal and we're happy to finally have that up and working :)
