❄️WINTER RAFFLES❄️
Courtesy of Sweet-n-treat we are hosting some raffles of a few designs from our recent turn-in! These raffles do not require any prerequisites to join them. Simply press the button to self-enter!
- You may enter all of them or only specific ones! Only Non-Owners and First Time Owners may enter those marked as such! Please see below what qualifies.
- This means you do not currently own or obtain a MYO slot or Skire Design. If you become an owner through the duration of this event you will be removed from the raffle!
- Owning or obtaining a MYO Slot Item in your inventory disqualifies you from entering this raffle!
- Entrants will be verified as N/Os or FTOs before raffle roll.
- You may additionally enter the FFA MYO Slot pool!
- Please reach out to a team member if your status is not listed correctly!
- You may enter regardless of ownership status or prompt completion.
- You may not enter intending to win a prize for someone else.
- Reminder that if you turned in either design for the turn-in, you may not enter for them via these raffles.
- You may win one prize from the raffles! They are rolled in listed order.
- These raffles will close December 31st @11:59:59 site time.
NON-OWNER MYOs
- Only users considered NON OWNERS and FIRST TIME OWNERS may enter this raffle. See above for qualifications!
❄️Other Updates❄️
- UPCOMING PROMPT SCHEDULE - As mentioned last month in our updates, we are working to transition towards a more freeform event schedule. This means that you may see events that start in the middle of the month, and not exactly on monthly rollover! This is to give us more time to focus on larger development projects such as crafting, which have been harder to manage alongside large events with tight deadlines, as much as we would love to have the time to do it all, it has not been feasible to do both due to the sheer volume of work that goes in to every event, even the smaller ones.
- You may see some newer event styles, different prize types, and there may be downtime without an event.
- This winter prompt is the first of our seasonal prompts which will develop with time, as will many other aspects of the ARPG as more larger scale additions can be released.
- December and January tend to be busier months for everyone and thus our prompt release is intended to be more relaxed!
- We appreciate community understanding as we work towards these larger ARPG goals! Your support over the last year has been enedlessly integral to everything we do. We can't wait for even more!
- MENTORS - Winter Mentors have arrived! Ice Mentor Vetra has returned, and Time Mentor Howwer will remain for the rest of the season!
- MAGIC BONUSES - Magic Bonuses will apply for the following Magics this season: Water, Ice, Steam, Death, Shadow, Time
- DECEMBER SKIRE SCOOP QUESTION - "What is your most cherished gift?"
- ADMIN APPLICATIONS - All applicants that we have decided to move forward with have been reached out to! Onboarding will commence soon! We are excited to introduce our new team members very soon!
- SHOP UPDATES - The General Store has updated with new stock!
🪐FRACTURING EVENT CONCLUSION🪐
- EVENT PRIZE ROLLS - The prizes for the Fracturing Event Will be rolled 12/03/2024 at around 10pm PST! Please use your Transit Tickets before then if you would like to enter the raffles. We will not be removing additional raffle tickets from inventories if you would like to keep them, but they will be made inactive at this point alongside the Ichor Distillery!
- ICHOR - Ichor will be removed from inventories after the event rolls conclude!
- CHALLENGE COINS - Challenge coins will be removed from inventory for future use by the end of December! Please claim your Badge and Completion rewards then. The Ichor rewards from this claim will be unavailable for claim after raffles are rolled!
- SCAVENGER HUNT - Reminder that the Spire Scavenger Hunt will remain active through December!

The ichor swallows you whole...
2024 Skire turn in
Welcome to the 2024 Skire Design Exchange! This turn-in is for those wishing to exchange an existing Skire design for a blank MYO slot or trait tickets. The designs received from this exchange will be re-raffled off to the community as they are, or redesigned by Admin before re-raffling. Please read the rules below to learn if you are eligible for exchange!
Exchange Rules
- This Exchange will only be open for ONE WEEK [November 16th, 2024 -> November 23rd, 2024 at 11:59:59 UTC]. Those chosen for the exchange will be contacted once the form closes!
- Be absolutely SURE when submitting that you’re wanting to exchange the Skire design, as once it has been confirmed that your character has been chosen and the exchange confirmed, it cannot be undone!
- This is not first come first serve, and designs will be evaluated and chosen to check if requirements are met.
- If you submit a character into the exchange, you cannot enter the raffle for the design that you personally exchanged.
There will be a limited set of designs taken, somewhere between 10-20 designs depending on submissions.
- By submitting, it does not guarantee an exchange will happen. If submissions go over the amount of designs we are taking this year, there is a chance that your exchange may not make it into this count. Those chosen will be contacted when the booth closes if their exchange was accepted.
- A user can only exchange one Skirean: a Premade design, an unused MYO slot, or a completed MYO design.
- In order for a design to be considered for exchange, you must have owned the design for a minimum of 3 months.
- If a design has a Toyhouse, then it’ll be transferred to the Skire Toyhouse should the design be chosen for the exchange.
- A design can not be exchanged if it has any Touched Traits and above.
- If a design has an Old-Gen or Lore-Breaking trait, it will not be transferred over to a MYO Slot or Trait Ticket.
- Traits are 1:1 with the choice of MYO Slot or Trait Ticket from the Skirean exchanged, and cannot be moved around.
- If exchanging a Premade Design or Designed MYO:
- You can choose a MYO Slot of your choice (CCCat, Crook, Nautipod, Gravent) with traits 1:1 with the design you exchanged. [I.E. If you exchange a design with 1 Rare and 2 Uncommon traits, you’ll receive a MYO slot with 1 Rare and 2 Uncommon traits.]
- You can choose Trait Ticket(s) with traits 1:1 with the design you exchanged. [I.E. If you exchange a design with 1 Rare and 2 Uncommon traits, you will receive x1 Rare Trait Ticket and x2 Uncommon Trait Ticket.]
- If exchanging an Unused MYO Slot:
- You can choose Trait Ticket(s) with traits 1:1 with the slot you exchanged. [I.E. If you exchange a design with 1 Rare and 2 Uncommon traits, you will receive x1 Rare Trait Ticket and x2 Uncommon Trait Ticket.]
- You can choose Trait Ticket(s) with traits 1:1 with the slot you exchanged. [I.E. If you exchange a design with 1 Rare and 2 Uncommon traits, you will receive x1 Rare Trait Ticket and x2 Uncommon Trait Ticket.]
Exchange Rules
You can only submit to this form ONCE. Please be absolutely sure you are ready to exchange a design when you submit, as once everything has been confirmed and the exchange completed it CANNOT be undone!
Ownership Eligibility Date Cutoff - AUGUST 23rd
You must have acquired the design on or before August 23rd to be eligible for turn in.
[Click here to submit your exchange!]
This form will close on November 23rd, 2024 at 11:59:59 UTC
LOCKING UPDATE
Our amazing coder Pasta has created a new locking extension that will now allow users to lock designs on their own! Please take a look at the details below regarding how to use this lock function, and thank you to pasta for their hard work always!!
- Under your character's masterlist entry, navigate to the Edit Profile tab to find the lock button [Guide Below].
- Characters will be locked and have their cooldown set to 180 days. During this time the design cannot be transferred for any reason. The design will not be shown as sellable or tradable and be locked to the user until the lock date has passed. The user is then required to unlock the design themselves
- You must still agree to our locking terms. These will be displayed as a popup on the locking page that requires agreement before proceeding. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE UNTIL 180 DAYS HAVE PASSED
- Legacy Locks (meaning you locked with an admin agreeing to the terms) are still completely valid! They will need to be unlocked manually by the mods when the time frame is up, so you will still need to reach out to do so. If you plan to unlock afterwards, please do not additionally use the new lock function as it will restart the lock cooldown.
Navigate to your character's profile and click "Edit Profile"
Scroll down to the button that says "Lock Character" and click
Read the terms below and if you agree, click "Agree and Lock Character".
THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE! PLEASE BE COMPLETELY SURE BEFORE LOCKING!
Your character will display the date it can be unlocked here, and will be manually unlockable by the owner. The status of the lock will display as well!
[MYO SALE] Halloween 2024
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by WellHiddenHALLOWEEN MYO SLOT SALE [2024]
WAHOO This is the official slot sale post now! Details about the slot sale happenings are below and also found in the previous news post from yesterday, but otherwise the form itself is now here:
>GOOGLE FORM FOR MYO SLOTS LINK<
CURRENTLY: ACTIVE / OPEN
24 Hours have now passed: The slots are now set to FFA in general and multiple slots are now allowed as well!
Myth slots are now sold out!
Info below may still have weird formatting, unsure what is happening since it looks proper in the coding post but prob a copy/paste from the doc I wrote it in issue KJBDSGFDHSDFH
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below or message in FAQ on the CCCat discord or message me! Please be aware I may be delayed in responses if in DMs due to still taking care of my partner!
KEY:
“N/O” = Non-Owner, meaning you do not have any of the active Skire species currently.
“A/O” = Already-Owner, meaning you have at least one of any active Skire species currently.
“FFA” = Free-For-All, meaning anyone may claim these slots, including N/O users or A/O users. Usually this is a grouped term with to describe any Already-Owners as they do not have unique pools like N/Os do.
-
BASIC INFO:

- Contact about slot sales will be done through the Skire.club website messaging system -- I will message you to confirm your details from the form!

- I will open it around 3PM PST [23:00:00 UTC On-Site!] , and it will remain open beyond then until all slots have filled!
- All slots are claimed via First-Come, First-Served and will be selected by timestamp order.
- Only N/O users have their own unique section for slots, once the N/O slots have been filled, if any lingering N/Os claimed earlier than any FFA slots via timestamp, N/Os get pooled into the FFA slots as priority.
- After 24 hours since the forms opened, any unfilled N/O slots get turned into FFA slots and will go in timestamp order once again without need for re-submission of the form.
- Until 24 hours have passed, one person may only get one slot. Once I alert to the allowance of multiple slots, then you may re-fill the form for a second slot. I will not grant a second slot until the form is re-filled after this notice, so duplicate form submissions before this time will not count.
- Another person may ask to claim a slot for one other person - Someone else may pay for your slot as well. Please clarify that within the form or within a note, but ideally the form!
- IF YOU ARE CLAIMING FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON (ie: yourself and helping someone else claim) You must re-apply on the google form. We advise having only one other person claiming for you, as any additional claims for you will be null!
- Please do NOT try and write down multiple people on the form.
- If for any reason you input something incorrect on the form please let me know in a note when/if I contact you. Please ideally do not add a new form submission as I won’t know which one is the correct one and it will be time-stamped differently on the response sheet.

All of these slots are considered Standard slots with 1 Rare trait + 2 Uncommon traits.

Contact will be through Skire.Club on confirmation of your slot and payment method! -
The form will be First-Come-First-Served.

-
You cannot get a myth and a standard slot within the first 24 hours; it is considered multiple! You can after 24 hours have passed.

-
Myth slots must be chosen before given the slot and do not yet have a choice item!
-
As a reminder, once you choose your species you cannot reverse this decision. Only select once you are sure!
-
- You will be given an item that you turn into a MYO slot once you decide your species via "opening" the item with chosen species. Please note that these items are not tradable; if you wish to buy a slot as a gift you will need to let me know in the form!
- The species bases will be provided to you to use if you desire - they're optional though so no worries if you don't want to!
—
-
Ownership specific:
-
If you already own at least one of any currently active Skire species (CCCat, Crook, Gravent, or Nautipod) you are considered an Already-Owner and will be entered in the FFA (Free-For-All) slot section. If you do not own any active Skire species currently you will be entered in the Non-Owner section specifically.
-
Only N/O users have their own unique section for slots, once the N/O slots have been filled, if any lingering N/Os claimed earlier than any FFA slots via timestamp, N/Os get pooled into the FFA slots.
-
Once the non-owner specific slot queue has been filled, the timestamps will be used to judge who gets the next slot in the Free-For-All sections if not already filled by the FFA-entry queue. This means a non-owner will automatically be placed into the free-for-all claim section if their timestamp allows them to have claimed before the free-for-all section has been filled.
-
You cannot get a myth and a standard slot within the first 24 hours; it is considered multiple! You can after 24 hours have passed.
-
If for any reason you input something incorrect on the form please let me know in a note when/if I contact you. Please ideally do not add a new submission as I won’t know which one is the correct one and it will be time-stamped differently on the response sheet.
-
You must be able to pay within 24 hours of me confirming you have claimed the slot successfully. (If you do not, we will move down to the next person in the queue)
-
Do not claim if you cannot pay within the 24 hours - payment plans are not accepted for these slots.
-
Slot Rules:
-
You may NOT resell the slot until it has been given an approved design or has been given requested permission for resale.
-
You may NOT trade the slot until it has been given an approved design.
-
Gifting a slot must be stated before payment is sent or upon claiming. If you wish to keep the gift anonymous/secret to the person you’re gifting it to, please tell me in the note when I ask for your paypal email to invoice.
-
After you create your Skire design and it has been approved, you have a 2 week cooldown till you can trade/sell the character. Remember to only ever resell for what you bought it for!
*Important to remember: Our rules have always allowed you to resell a character for higher than you bought it for if you confirm proof of purchase any commissioned pieces you personally have bought of your character with an admin. -
There is NO time limit to complete your MYO.
-
You MAY have others help you design your slot.
-
You may also have someone design your slot for you! Please make sure they follow the rules to the slot and species, however!
-
Please: do not post your design publicly until it has been accepted/approved and has gotten its written approval by an admin! In order to get your slot approved you must note the group!!
*If you commission someone to design your slot for you then you may show us proof of the purchased commission and have it added to your character's resale price. -
*Your slot will NOT be approved if it is recognized to be heavily influenced by/duplicating a pre-existing character from either a personal OC or a franchise - additionally hateful themes or imagery against minorities (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.) will not be tolerated and will not be approved and could risk you being graylisted or banned from the species.
-
If your design is approved and then found to be heavily referencing or duplicating a pre-existing character after it is approved then you may still be asked to change it after the fact. If the design changes hands and is later recognized then the creator will likely be spoken to, but the new owner of the design may not be requested to change the design as they were not the ones responsible for creating it and we don't feel it right to punish/request change from them if they don't/didn't know. This may change case-by-case depending on severity of the issue.

[Prep] Halloween 2024 Slot Sale
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by FrogSLOT SALE [PREP 2024]
IT'S LATE BUT IT'S RUNDOWN TIME!! This got delayed because I got sick and had to recover and then I've been helping my partner recover a surgery TwT So thank you guys for the patience!!
This is pretty similar to last year's slot sale system but I always like to give a day-before rundown of what to expect so that it's a little less jarring for people to see the sales go live!
This news post is to prep people for the sale - A different news post will created that is NOT this news post with the google form to apply to the slot sale when it's live!
This post will detail the time, date, and other necessary info for the sales!

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 7 months ago :: Last edited 6 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?

FAQ
Q: Can we ask for an extension on the prompt?
A: No, but if submissions require revisions you may be informed of a grace period to resubmit.
Q: If I win, can I give my prize away?
A: For fairness, if you win the prize, you may not gift the prize away. You may return your prize to the admin to re-roll the raffle. Items can be traded, but you should not enter solely to grant the item to someone else.
Q: Can I enter to try and help someone else win?
A: No, it is not fair for multiple people to enter on behalf of one person. You will not be able to surrender your prize to a specific person.
Q: When will the event end specifically?
A: This prompt's end date is displayed on the prompt itself! Please refer to this section and the website's clock for this time!
Q: When will prizes be raffled off?
A: Anywhere from the next day to a few days after the event ends. Rolls are automatic onsite but we will still be announcing them in the Discord!
Q: My entry was denied because it didn’t meet the requirements. Can I fix it and resubmit to try and enter?
A: Yes, as long as this is done so before the event ends. We will not count anything submitted after the event has ended, but a short grace period may be given.
Q: Are admin allowed to enter the event and win prizes?
A: Yes, admins are allowed to enter events! However if an admin is rolled for winning a prize, they don’t occupy a member’s chance to win! Another roll will be done so that a member can still win a prize.
Q: I became a non-owner/owner over the course of the event! Can I change my entries?
A: Yes, please contact a mod! If you become an owner over the event, we ask that you inform us that you are no longer a non-owner out of fairness! If you become a non-owner, please inform us as well as we may grant non-owner tickets. If we notice this system is being used to fodder non-owner MYO slots, we will no longer grant ticket changes from owner to non-owner for the event period, but you may be eligible again if you are still a non-owner during the next event.
