ACTIVITIES
THE KNOWN TIMELINE - 10/28
The Known Timeline has now been added to the Lore Glossary page onsite.
- This update includes the LORE RETCON mentioned previously.
- This lore is considered CANON, and old lore will not be hosted onsite. You may still use or set your stories in old versions of the lore. You may also create your own lore. You are not required to follow Skire canon for your stories!
- Thank you to the hard work of WellHidden / spockirkcoy / Frog for the writing and revisions of this page!
THE SPIRE - 10/28
The rubble has settled, the dust across Skire wafting off into the vast reaches of space. Nothing is the same as it was before, life thrown in countless different directions...
- A new scavenger hunt has emerged in the wake of the beast's defeat.
- This scavenger hunt will be available until DECEMBER 28th.
- No ichor can be obtained from this hunt! Ichor is reserved exclusively for prompts.
- Some parts of this prompt will be more obvious than others. Look closely...
Mentors emerge - 10/06
In light of looming events, two mentors have wandered from the woodwork. Howwer is quickly on the scene, their jovial personality helpful to lighten the mood in the fray. Their body looks almost as if it is unraveling, but their personality contrasts that, bringing a bit of peace to those in panic. Their powers quickly reverse what damage they can to the world around them, removing rubble and clearing paths. The other is a face-- or lack thereof -- that may be familiar to some: the Faceless Guide. A key role in the banishment, many crooks have seen this CCCat in final terrifying moments before being sent to the Alter World, and for most that memory burns fresh in their mind. Many have only heard tales of him, a fearsome and evil creature. Now, he comes with renewed intentions. Meek and to many, a coward, the Faceless Guide has only been spoken of in legend for many years, those whispers growing louder since the last Gala of Ghouls. For the first time in countless years, he has come to instruct. With mounting danger facing Skire with the emergence of the titan, Faceless has reluctantly welcomed those serious enough to train. Be warned, he refuses to teach certain magics, vowing never to give the ability to create alternate dimensions and worlds, nor anything able to cause such mass destruction and harm. Some say he has a guilty conscious, and its not hard to see it on his face. Still, you sense his fear of death still prevails...
- Space and Time magic are now trainable! Both magics are ADVANCED and can be trained up to level 5. Be aware, these magics can be incredibly difficult!
- Space and Time magic crown bonuses will be granted throughout the event! Check out the MAGICS page for payout details!
- Howwer and Faceless will be available for INITIATION through the duration of the event.
- Space and Time magic will grant ichor damage as well equal to their listed level!
EVENT BANNER - spockirkcoy
Prompt Story
Part 1 - The Forewarning
The earthquakes have been plaguing you for a while now.
The first one was just a little shiver; the ground jittering so gently you might not have noticed if it weren’t for the flower vase on your counter shaking like it had taken a soft breeze. Though, there were no windows open, and the cacophony of notifications on your social media feed told you that others had felt it too. Even if it was small, it was all everyone talked about. Quakes were far and few between on Skire.
Two days later there was another one, and people started to get a little worried. Between talk show hosts sharing hopeful theories about the development of a new layer of Uto, all that was on the news was the quakes. You were listening to one of these casts when the room started to shake… violently. Running outside, the ground under your feet seized and swayed as if you were on a boat in rough ocean. You’d never felt anything like this before.
Your neighbor’s distant panicked cries sank to the background of your mind as you stared out over the layers of hills and houses. Even the swaying of the ground becomes secondary, because out of the corner of your eye you saw it.
A strange, dark amalgam was crawling into the yard.
---
The Nautipods are telling you that Ofae’s magic is out of control. While more reports come in about the earthquakes and the oozing beasts, they say they don’t know anything else. It’s just a feeling they have -being the moon’s children- that Ofae is in distress.
The news says that since the earthquakes started, Ichor Beasts started to appear all over the place. The shrouded creatures came in many shapes; aggressively stalking and even chasing anyone who came near. That thing you saw was one of them. Though they’ve been sighted in the deep wilds before, it was extremely strange to see them wandering in towns, or even densely populated areas.
The worst part of all this is that nobody knows why.
You start to take home extra water and food. You pick up first-aid kits from stores, which is something you’ve never felt like you had to do before. You just have some urgent feeling that you must prepare yourself for, inevitably, whatever happens next. It could be nothing, but you’d rather be ready instead of sorry.
---
You go about your day as best you can, but you cannot shake the feeling that something is coming. The strange reports of magical fissures around meteor lake do not help either. Chaos slowly swells, the continent unable to ignore the warning signs appearing all around. It almost feels like the world is pending some kind of upheaval. Those more magically inclined have begun their investigations, but many remain unsure of what's to come.
It feels that nobody is immune to the anxiety, Nautipods especially impacted by the weight of what's coming. Their connection to the world's magic is different, drawn often to strange wells of magic unfamiliar to Skire. These fissures crack and shatter the earth, upending homes, displacing many. They pierce deep into the planet, past the crust, beyond... You cannot see far enough down. The magic feels familiar in a way, pulsing like veins from the cracks. Energy erupts with a static that feels almost heavy.
What's on the horizon?
- See the prompt for specifications!
PART 2 - THE EMERGENCE
An intense rumble, like a gutteral scream, pierces the air.
You were right to be cautious.
It’s been months since the first quake set off a nearly daily chain of tremors over the entire continent, but despite the fear early on, people have started to become used to it. Aside from the slight feeling of dread, you no longer jump or panic when you feel the ground move. For a moment you think that maybe this is just the new normal for Skire.
You’re asleep when it happens. A jolt wakes you from your slumber, and at first you’re only annoyed. Instead of the quake petering to an end, the shaking only gets more and more intense. You sit up in bed and patiently wait for it to stop. It doesn’t.
As you get out of bed, the glass in your windows shatters covering the floor in glimmering shards. The sound of it triggers your survival mode; and you run out of the room and into the world. Even out here, you can still hear the shattering noise. It’s not just your windows, the land itself seems to be screeching in agony. A chorus of shrieking, crashing, and something reverberating from deep under your feet. It makes you want to cover your ears, but it echoes through your body in a way that can’t be shut out.
A sudden powerful shockwave sends you to your knees; the earth bucking upwards underneath you, as if you’re being shot upwards into space. In the distance, all around you, the earth is breaking. It cracks into pieces with smoke and dust billowing from the fissures. Terrified, your eyes trace the cracks and chasms to one bulging point in the distance. You hope that whoever is nearest those fractures will not be swallowed up alive.
You’re sitting there, mind racing as you try to figure out what will happen next. Then, you see it. Out of the bulging earth, something starts to breach. It’s a strange thing, trying to describe a being of a size you couldn’t begin to fathom exists, but it’s there… jutting upwards like you’re witnessing a mountain being formed in real-time. A Titan, slick with oily Ichor that seeps from it’s body and waterfalls down to the land below, so far below. It crushes whole settlements with its hands as it heaves itself upwards until the crags of its long, shimmering neck touch the sky.
As you crane your own neck back, it opens its jaw and the siren roar pierces deep into your skull.
---
You wonder if this is the end of the world. You will realize soon that in a way, it is.
A titan has emerged, dripping in a dark and oily substance that floods the land. It consumes everything in its path, drawing in magic and refusing to release it. The fissures burst from around it, massive cracks that span downwards for what seems like forever. From the substance new beasts are birthed, overtaken by it, driven by insatiable hunger for magic. Many do their best to fend them off, but are too consumed.
- See the prompt for specifications!
PART 3 - THE FRACTURING
Gravity suddenly flips beneath your feet.
The flood of Ichor cascading off of the Titan infected the land before your very eyes. From it seeped hundreds of beasts, those caught in the flood succumbed to the Ichor quickly. It left behind a throng of creatures none fully solid nor liquid that harassed and attacked any inhabitants they encountered.
It wasn’t long before they reached you. Over the next day your fellow Skireans began to band together. There was nowhere to run because they were everywhere, spawning from the ground and the rivers of muck that crept through the land from the fissures. There wasn’t much else you could do but fight. They seemed to resist magic somehow. Not even devastating magical attacks kept them down for long, so you resorted to attacking them with whatever physical weapon you could get your hands on. Eventually they would be kept at bay, but you were still unsure if they would stay down for good. Even when you felt you’d conquered them all, a new wave of them would soon appear.
The looming Titan makes you all afraid. Days pass and it continues to climb up out of the earth, dominating the horizon. Attempts at attacking it seemed to be futile. It was just too large; too dangerous to get close, for fear of being swept up in the Ichor yourself.
Through it all, you try not to lose your hope. The idea of this being the new world you live in terrifies and exhausts you. You’re not ready to accept that world, though you’ve lived in it for close to a week. Is this truly how life is now? Have the guardians abandoned you? Your peers cry and huddle in stress every night. Unfortunately, you don’t think there is anything you could say to make it better.
One night as a new wave of Ichor Beasts breaks through your defenses, you and your group abandon your camp and retreat to higher ground. The sharp wail of the Ichor Titan threatens to break your will. What are you to do? What can any of you do?
Another shockwave hits. For a brief moment your heart stops, thinking that maybe another one of those towering beasts is about to appear. Just like that time weeks before, it feels as if the world is falling apart. This time though, you see it happen with your own eyes. A deafening sound like cracking glacial ice echoes from the ground and across the sky, like rolling thunder. Just as you witnessed the Titan ascend into this world, you watch the earth split open to swallow it whole again.
You hold onto each other as gravity shifts. The world feels heavier; sucking you towards the soil under your feet but you can’t look away as the Titan plummets down to whatever hell is underneath. The massive chasm continues to grow in the distance. Further, and further, as if Skire had become a floating island drifting away to safety.
You realize you aren’t dreaming, and this might as well be true. A CCCat near you says as much. You can barely believe what you are hearing.
Eeridi has shattered into pieces.
- The badge has now been revealed!
- See the prompt for specifications!
PART 4 - THE AFTERMATH
All that's left is to pick up the pieces.
When you think back about everything that happened, you’re not sure how much time has passed. Everything feels like a blur, yet crystal clear in your mind at the same time.
Yes, Eeridi had shattered. You recall the emotions you felt when that information dawned on you. The world you once knew no longer existed, at least not in the same way you remembered.
Eventually you mustered the courage along with the others to approach the edge of the world as you know it. It made your stomach turn to look down and see a vast expanse of nothing but air, clouds, and Ichor below. Down there, under the mist and mire, you could still see the looming Titan moving like a leviathan across the surface of some inner alien world. You feel dizzy just looking at it.
When you look up you can see other fragments of Eeridi suspended far in the distance. They remind you of the floating islands near Meteor Lake, or Stonewing, though you know these fragments of the planet are much larger than they appear. Whole continents suspended in air… it’s still hard for you to wrap your head around even now.
In the weeks that followed the Shattering, people tried hard to adapt as quickly as possible. You think that if Skire had been less keen on advancement before all this, the change would have been harder for you all. Somehow everyone has found a way to band together and push towards solutions.
The Ichor Beasts still spawn here sometimes. With time you learn that you can predict where they appear if you follow the trail of the Titan below. Guilds have been popping up all over the place with this exact knowledge in mind. They’re training people on how to fight the Ichor Beasts. These guilds go by many names, but they are all sworn to fight back and keep us safe.
The air feels heavier around the edges of Skire, and authorities warn you all, especially those with abilities to fly, not to try and traverse the openings at all. The gravity is too great; able to suck down any craft that attempts to bridge the gaps at land level. The only way to travel from one island to another is from space. Over time you see an explosion of new types of space-faring shuttles and crafts built to ferry people from one island to the next.
It seems daily that you hear new stories of adventuring parties and researchers attempting to go down to the surface below; the “Core Planet” as they’ve been calling it. It seems to you like it’s a death wish to want to go down there, but they keep insisting that the information they gather is priceless. Half of them don’t come back.
Despite the enormous change to your physical world, you find that things are starting to move on like normal. Yes the air is a bit thinner, and the Ichor Beasts can be a tad annoying to deal with, but life goes on. Skireans are resilient beings. You all work hard to repair what has been broken.
Of course, researchers are still trying to figure out why all of this happened. You yourself wonder what the greater meaning of all this is, if there even is one. Everyone everywhere has their own theories. All you can really do is go on with your life, adapt, and hope that nothing worse happens to your precious planet.

[EVENT]🔮 Over, Under, and Through
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 5 months ago by spockirkcoy🔮Over, Under, and through🔮
Welcome to the May - June 2024 Over, Under, and Through Portals Event!
Portals are commonplace around Skire, used for countless reasons by countless beings around the continent. One may use them for travel, to leave their home and traverse quickly across the landscape to another city, to visit friends, pick up supplies, or simply explore. Portals of countless shapes and sizes are also key for continental commerce, driving goods of countless types through specialized portals that bring them where they need to be.
Portals can often fall into disrepair. Their space magic is upheld by infused caster speak, and like all machinery, they wear down over time. Wires come loose, conduits fall apart, and molding metal rusts, meaning Skire is littered with portals that have long-forgotten uses. Many seek to repair these portals simply out of curiosity to see where they go. Some are even employed for their upkeep.
A portal may be built by a single person, or used by a community, company, hive, or other group. Many build their homes around these landmarks for ease of movement across Skire.
Travel! There are many interesting places to explore around Skire... Where will you go?
Prompts do not need to be completed in order.
🔮Must be completed once within the event period in order to claim the completion badge.
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) travelling through a portal.
- Does your character regularly travel through portals?
- Do they stumble upon one on accident, or find something mysterious or broken?

[Update] Trait Updates
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by FrogTrait Clarificaitons and Updates
Hi all! We are in the long process of going through traits to update and clarify their descriptions! We've finished with CCCats as you'll see below, but we will update this post as we finish other species as well! Please refer below to what new larger updates you can find in the traits. Thank you to the team for all the hard work and discussion to get this updated! There are so many updates that we cannot place them all here, but we will place the most important ones here! Do check out each CCCat Trait for details!
Ideally our new formatting will allow for quicker updates if new rules and clarifications are added to the traits!
General Notes
- Any traits that had a downgrade in rarity or were consolidated will grant a free trait that you may use for any trait within the respective rarity or lower when updating the design. These cannot be moved from one design to another and are not able to be traded in for trait tickets, and will remain bound to the design
- Any designs that were updated to include any upgraded traits will only receive that respective trait only if the original design also has it. The design can keep the trait as it currently appears as long as it is not redesigned or reverted. Upgraded traits do not grant unused traits.
- Trait items will now allow for you to change the trait within the bounds of what the item grants during redesigns [Example: If using the Bittersweet Truffles to apply Heart Eyes to a Nautipod, you may switch that trait to X eyes when redesigning, as that trait is granted by the item, and can still apply to the character]
CCCats
- Goat Eye will be updated to Square Pupil and will be expanded to allow squares, rectangles, and diamonds, on top of the standard allowed for goat eye.
- Needle Teeth will be merged into Overgrown Teeth.
- Overgrowth Teeth may use Saber/Tusk/Tipsy Turvy/Snaggletooth without the need for additional traits.
- Crown Placement Traits
- Crowns on Face/Cheeks can include Crowns on Forehead, and Crowns in common placements without additionally needing the trait.
- Crowns on Lower Body may also include crowns on the Face/Cheeks, Crowns on Forehead, and Crowns in common placements without additionally needing the traits
- Crowns on Head and Elsewhere on Body will be dissolved and granted +1 Touched to applicable designs.
- Pattern Shifting Eye has had its definition expanded
- If the base color of the eye changes, the patterns must include ALL of the used colors
- If the base color remains the same, the pupil patterns may have differing colors.
- Unseen Eye and Tongue traits will all allow for the design to have Dead Eye or Dead Tongue colors without the need for the trait additionally
- Multiple Eyes/Tongues (4-10) has been expanded to allow ONE instance of a trait to apply to all of the Eyes/Tongues [Example: If you have x1 instance of Metallic Eye, you may apply Metallic Eye to ALL eyes]
- Floating Body Piece (Touched) has been expanded to allow 11-20 pieces. and the Unseen variant has been expanded to allow 21-30 pieces
- Unused Unseen Traits may only use Unseen traits that are listed on the trait list OR exist currently on a design. New unseen traits cannot be created using an Unused Unseen.
- Object Growth on Tongue has been merged into Object Tongue, which now encompasses both expressions of the trait.
- Hallowed has been downgraded to Touched
- Separated Wormling has been upgraded to Unseen
- Headless - Mouth appearing on neck is now OPTIONAL
- Shaped Eye - Shaped Eye is a new trait at Unseen rarity that will allow the CCCat's eye to be a non-round shape.
- Extras Traits
- Extra Limbs adds two pairs of limbs (4 additional limbs) to the body per instance of the trait. This count does not include the default limbs (arms and back legs) and adds to the total of limbs. Can be either arms or legs
- Extra Mouths now adds x2 mouths per instance of the trait on top of the default mouth.
- Unusable Limbs now adds x2 pairs of Unusable Limbs per instance of the trait
- Wings now adds x2 pairs of wings per instance of the trait
- Multi-Form Eye/Tongue now allows for one instance of a trait to effect the eye in both forms [Example: If you have x1 instance of Metallic Eye, you may apply Metallic Eye to the eye in both forms]
- Inanimate Host no longer allows for the body to be replaced by Stone, Crystal, Solid Metal [Meaning solid metal, does not apply to robotic hosts or armor hosts], unless it is replacing the ENTIRE body. These can be applied via Earth Defect or Metal Defect.
- Second Set of Colors can be stacked, meaning that every additional instance of the trait grants x1 additional palette.
- Color Changing Markings Update - The three color rule has been removed, but we have defined the trait further as detailed below
- Can only be applied to a defined marking, meaning it should not apply to pure gradients
- Marking that change color can have gradients
- No restriction on the number of colors, but colors can still only have one additional alternate color.
- Cannot apply to all markings on the body
- Color Changing Coat still applies to the base coat only
- Cannot be stacked
- Object Growth applying specifically to plants has been further defined.
- Split Tail has been updated to allow for the following
- Rare - 2-10 Splits | Previously was Rare - 2-5 Splits
- Myth - 11-20 Splits | Previously was Myth - 6-10 Splits
- Touched - 21-40 Splits | Previously was Touched - 11-15 Splits
- Splits apply across ALL tails.
- Glowing/Opalescent/Sparkling/Metallic Markings Update - The three color rule has been removed, and rules have expanded as detailed below
- Any color on the body are affected by these marking types as long as the WHOLE coat is not effected.
- Glowing/Opalescent/Sparkling/Metallic Coat Update -
- ALL colors on the body are affected by these marking types AND the CCCat may for example have the Glowing Teeth, Glowing Tongue Markings, Glowing Eye, and all extras such as Crowns, Claws, and Horns/Spikes
VISUALS
Some traits have been given additional visuals!
[Mini-Update] April 2024
Posted 7 months ago :: Last edited 7 months ago by FrogGlub glub...
the waters of Skire warm as spring emerges... silly little guys seem to be popping up in the sands...
Click each image to enter yourself into one of our self-enter raffles. These raffles will close April 03rd @ 11:59:59 Site Time! What creatures might you find waiting?
Happy April 1st!
Meanwhile...
"Oh, Hi..." The crook standing at the mouth of the broken portal rubs the back of their neck, a bit bothered by the interruption. They are dressed in mechanics fatigues, covered in what surely looks like years of oil and grime stains, and a hat with an old logo obscures their face some.
"Listen, if you're going to hang around, I need some help," He grumbles, shuffling in their baggy clothes a bit as they stare up at the machinery. Something about the glow of their eye beneath the brim of the cap seems familiar, but you can't quite be sure. "Seems like this portal's missing a few things... Wonder how long its been here...
"What? a DJ? I don't know who you're talking about..." They wave off the question, opening up a bright red toolbox covered in stickers, "If you're done with the questions, why don't you stop by Grant's and get yourself a pouch to carry stuff in..."
[Scavenger Hunt available throughout April. Ends April 30, 2024 @ 23:59:59]
REMINDER! Please do not spoil the hunt. You may request help and hints from other users, but sharing direct answers, links, or hints that are too obvious are not allowed in chat.
IMPORTANT UPDATES SEE BELOW
TRADING UPDATES
- Beginning at the time of this announcement, all accounts created after April 01st, 2024 00:00:00 must complete one prompt to be eligible to trade items and crowns. ALL prompts that do not require character ownership are eligible.
- This does not apply to character transfers that do not involve items.
STARTER PACK UPDATES
- The starter pack has been phased out of the free gifts shop at the time of this announcement due unfortunately to consistent instances of exploitation. This was a problem with the original welcome box as well, and we aim to mitigate this.
- The starter pack will be reintroduced via a yearly Standard Payout prompt with low requirements that will grant the Starter Pack as part of its rewards.
- Users who claimed the starter pack may still do this quest upon release.
NEW ITEMS + Updates
- 20 new trait items have been added to the website... will you discover them all...?
- All of these items will be available via normal means later!
- Certain items are subject to change as well!
- New items have been updated to have different border colors and a small symbol to denote rarity. Older items will eventually be updated to use this system.
OTHER UPDATES
- Some trait items have been updated to include more traits that they can apply! Some traits have also been adjusted so that all items only apply traits of a single rarity. Keep your eyes peeled for these items!
- Stinger Sourpop - Addition of Insect Wings (Gravents)
- Sappy Sweetsticks - Addition of Complex Tongue Tip (Crooks/Gravents)
- Thorny Flower - Addition of Spiked Tentacles and Leafy Tentacles (Nautipods)
- Feather Duster - Addition of Particle Crowns (CCCats), Particle Tendrils (Crooks), and Particle Vent Wings(Gravents)
- Silky Brush - Addition of Royal Feathers, Quill Feathers, Royal Vent Wings, and Royal Tail Strands (Gravents)
- We are in the process of clarifying trait definitions! This is planned to include a comprehensive list of rules that each trait has. Hopefully this will provide more clarity when designing! We are working by species currently, and when one species is finished, the other will be started. This may take some time as we have nearly 700 traits! [Preview Here!]
- We are reviewing crown payouts and are working on creating further guides for prompts. At this time no changes can be confirmed!
- Trait images are completed! They are currently pending edit and upload to the site, as it is a time intensive process. Thank you for Sweet-n-treat for the amazing art!
- Progress has begun on a questline where users will be able to earn a MYO slot and traits! This will be available regardless of ownership status and be a one-time-only quest available for completion at any time, with no time limit to do so.
- Crafting is being worked on! Recipes have been concepted, and past items will slowly be uploaded to the site! They will not have as much use until we can create the necessary gathering processes, prompts, and recipes! This will also include daily and weekly claims.
- Please welcome Muy as our newest mod! He will be assisting the team in the discord mainly but you may see him around elsewhere! We are excited to have him!
- The Skire Scoop has been updated to a new question -- "What is your comfort food?"
- General Store stock has been updated!
