We've tallied all the posts and now have our winners! While the goals we set weren't reached we're still going to give out some rewards, just not the ones we originally planned on.

Now, our actual first place winner is Kellyara, but since she's publicly on hiatus and I'm very certain she wouldn't want us to give her a prize that will just collect dust on her account, I'm going to skip her name and move on down the list! First, I want to congratulate Kellyara on having the most posts, with a whopping total of 90! Well done!

Congratulations! I will be sending out the rewards in the next few minutes! Enjoy your shopping spree!

Please stay tuned for more updates on the Kickstarter, we're very close to having everything together (it's so much more work than it looks like! sheesh!) and I can't wait to share it all with you guys!

Okay, so it's been camping time for seven days now, I'm a little behind the times it would appear! Camp NaNoWriMo has been in full swing since July 1st and will be ending July 31st! To celebrate, we are as always offering prizes to those who win! Check out more in the Camp NaNo Thread and on the official website!

We've finally come to the final Guardian! Better late than never, right?



Second youngest of the Guardians, Emiryls is stern and to the point. She loathes wasting time and prefers good, hard work to laying about. She'll be the first to buckle down to a task and the last to call it quits. Her somber manner often makes her the brunt of Balvun's good-natured ribbing, which she always pays back with a scathing glare or icy rebuke. The lush, verdant rain forest will be your final destination in our initial storyline. With Emiryls at your back you'll unveil an ancient secret that threatens the peace and beauty of all the realms. Will your strength and the combined might of all the Guardians be enough to save the Tree of Origins?

I hope you guys are excited for our storyline, it's going to be so much fun! We've been doing a lot of plotting on not only this first chapter, but the chapters to follow as well and I'm confident you'll all be hooked! So what do you think of the Guardians? Who is your favorite? Which realm is your favorite so far?! What other realms might you like to see? Discuss in the comments!

A final announcement... Since I had some unexpected real life interruptions we've decided to extend the posting event to July 10th @11:59pm Origins Time. At that time we'll tally up all the posts and announce our winners! We'll be altering the reward tiers based on which users have the most posts rather than by a set post count, so don't worry if you haven't managed to reach any of the reward goals! Just do the best you can!

My apologies for the rather short announcement. We'll have more things to share very soon!!

Alright ladies, give the poor boys some room to breath!



Thasana is the youngest of the Guardians. She's kind and playful, bubbling with laughter and always looking for the silver lining in even the worst situations. With her guidance and magic you'll explore the underwater realm, from coral villages to the dangerous depths where few dare to travel. Just as you become aware that there's something larger at work in all the conflicts you've been dealing with, you'll be summoned from the thriving ocean realm to the emerald rain forest watched over by the final Guardian, Emiryls...

Intrigued yet? Lockette and I have been hammering out the details to the story and I know you guys won't be disappointed when you get to see it unfold! Just as I'm sure you're all going to love these Starter Pets! Our artists have been hard at work getting ready for the Kickstarter. Ryou was able to finish these up yesterday and I couldn't wait to show them off! What do you guys think of them? Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!!

As a reminder our Posting Event is still going on! We may end up extending it by a couple weeks, what do you guys think?

Well, Balvun certainly got a warm (and handsy) welcome from all the ladies, I wonder if his somber brother will as well?


Rajuni is the third eldest Guardian. He's tends to be quiet and reserved, rarely speaking and only then as succinctly as possible. Like the desert realm that he watches over, he's outwardly coarse and solemn, but a fierce passion boils beneath the surface, fueling his dedication and compassion. He may not say or express much, but you can tell he's alert and vigilant, taking in everything around him with little more than a glance. Rajuni will lead you across the rippling dunes, through sand storms and intense heat before sending you to meet Thasana in the wet, refreshing ocean realm...

In other news, I also want to show off our gorgeous Kickstarter Exclusive pets! These were sketched by dracula, lined by Sapphie and shaded by Ryou! In the coming days I will be releasing more details about Kickstarter, but for now I shall simply present the Crane and Nian!



That's it for this time around, be watching for more updates!!
