Harvest Festival || Event Overview
Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 2 months ago by spectralswanHARVEST Festival
Event Duration:Β 9/1/25 - 9/30/25

The Harvest Festival is one of the most beloved celebrations of the year, focusing on gratitude for a bountiful harvest and, of course, delicious food. This annual event brings together Faians from all corners of the Realm to Arkala City, now one of Faia's most prominent cities. As Faians arrive, they are accompanied by airships carrying the local harvests of their home islands... soon to be made into mouthwatering recipes.
Upon the first arrivals, Arkala City practically transforms into a bustling open-air kitchen. Cooking stations can be found all around the plazas and streets, as Faians from each island prepare their signature dishes for the nightβs grand feast. Indeed, these feasts are the main attraction of the Festival, held at dinnertime on weekends throughout the month. From hearty stews to bizarre-looking vegetables, these gatherings offer Faians the opportunity to not only appreciate authentic recipes from around the Realm, but also to befriend the unique Faians that they meet while sharing a meal.

a new art style...
As you may have noticed, there is quite a lot of new art around the site! Eventually, all ARPG assets will be redone in this style for the aesthetic overhaul, which is scheduled for November.
The overhaul will include: new default site themes, a new site icon/meta tag, new user role colors, new trait rarity colors, and new artwork everywhere! I hope that this overhaul will give the ARPG more of a fantasy-RPG feeling, and better reflect Faia's main lore of light vs. wither through the new color palette (wink wink purple)...




Below are some notable changes to item artwork you should be aware of!
- Potions now come in 4 different base-shapes (as shown above) to easier distinguish which species they are applicable to. Note that not all potion artwork has been redone yet, apologies for the temporary confusion!
- Paint Bottles are now Paint Swatches.
- Pet Carriers are now drawn as cardboard boxes.

Eeriels' Ballade || Event Overview
Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by spectralswanEeriels' Ballade
Event Duration: 8/1/25 - 8/31/25

It is music that brings us all together...
Eeriels are one of the oldest surviving species in Faia. At night, they love to float on the surface of the water and stargaze. The Yfalos clan believes they do this to read the prophecies of the stars, claiming to hear poems and whispered messages whenever they are near. Eeriels are highly respected throughout the realm, but especially among the Yfalos clan, who have taken on the role of their protector in recent years.
Before the arrival of the Lightkeepers, each island functioned in its own little bubble with its own seasonal system. For centuries, Eeriels have lived off the coast of Aurelia. Each year, they have taken a great migratory journey South in order to escape Aurelia's (unknown, pre-Lightkeeper) seasonal conditions. However, with the new universal seasonal system, this journey is extremely detrimental to Eeriel survival. Their destinational island is still withered and unexplored. In Frost Season, waters around the withered areas they arrive at freeze, forming a thick layer of ice.Β Eeriels are something of a claustrophobic species, known to panic if trapped. This state of high stress can lead to depression, paranoia, starvation, and more. A migratory journey that once ensured the Eeriels' survival is now putting it at stake.
The Yfalos clan noticed the Eeriels' annually dwindling population almost immediately, and took action. It is common knowledge that Eeriels are attracted to music, and will even stop to join in and sing. In order to delay the annual Eeriel migration as much as possible, the Eeriels' Ballade was put together.Β During the Ballade, Faian volunteers are transported underwater via floating bubbles and provided various magical resources to enable underwater living. Together, clan members and visiting Faians prepare instruments as well as accommodations for visitors and Eeriels alike. When the time comes, a perpetual melody floats from within the gates of Yfalos, attracting any Eeriels that pass by. The music continues until the migration fully halts in Yfalos. Eeriels are pampered with food and fun, until eventually they turn back home instead of continuing their migration.Β
The Eeriels' Ballade was born out of desire to save a species, but today, it takes on a much more positive tone on top of its purpose. The Ballade is a unique musical experience unparalleled by any concert or musical gathering, widely enjoyed by musicians and music lovers across the realm. It is even rumored that Eeriels now migrate with Yfalos as their new destination, knowing there will be music and food aplenty. Nobody really knows for sure, but even if this is the case, the Ballade continues annually with the same vibrant spirit.
The Eeriels' Ballade has finally begun! Faians from all around the Realm gather on the coasts of Lylluna, waiting for transportation into the underwater city of Yfalos. Indeed, Yfalos' residents are hard at work preparing air bubbles, water breathing potions, accomodations for both Faians and Eeriels, and the music itself. They could use a hand!

π³ Teeny tiny dancers π³
This year, Yfalos has decided to incorporate pets into the Eeriels' Ballade... as dancers! The only problem is: most pets are not used to being around many strangers at once, especially in such an unfamiliar setting. To remedy this, Nerissa asks that Faians introduce their pets to unfamiliar Faians, and allow them to teach their pets dances as well as spend time with them. This way, pets will gradually adjust to being around strangers, while also preparing for the big performance! Let's just hope these pets can keep some dance moves in their noggins...
Β
Welcome!
I see your pets are itching to dance in the Eeriels' Ballade... In this activity, you earn points by drawing your pets with other peoples' characters! The top three point earners (AKA owners of the most highly trained, skilled, world-class-master-of-dancing pets) will each earn a prize (info below)! This activity ends with the Eeriels' Ballade event. To participate, please follow the steps below!

Artfight || Milestone Event
Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by spectralswanartfight
!!! EVENT POINT METER !!!
Event Duration: 7/1/25 - 7/31/25

What is artfight?
Artfight is an annual art trading game hosted on https://www.artfight.net ! More information can be found on their site (about page). In summary, Artfight occurs annually during the month of July, and players are split into two themed teams. Players can "attack" the other team (or even their own team) by making art of their original characters, subsequently earning points for their own team. At the end of the event, the team with the most points wins.
Β
Faia's artfight event?
Faia is hosting a Milestone Event adjacent to the official Artfight! During this event, there are a series of prizes, and the community must reach progressive point milestones to unlock them for a free raffle at the end. Points for Faia's event are earned by attacking Faian characters on the official Artfight, then submitting to the Attacks prompt (also earns you wisps- more information below).
The community's point total, unlocked milestones, and points log are tracked in this document (also linked at the top of this post). The document is updated every time the prompt mods process your submissions!

Step 1. Attack faians on artfight
Create attacks (visual art or animation) of Faian characters on the official Artfight! These can be attacks, friendly fire, revenge... anything that is officially uploaded onto Artfight qualifies. Your team does not matter, as we're basically all one big Faia-team in this Milestone event! To find characters to attack, visit the Discord server's β‘-artfight-links channel.
(Pssst! You can submit your attack artworks to our on-site event gallery!)
Β
Step 2. Submit for wisps & points
Each individual attack on a Faian character can be submitted to this prompt for both wisps and event points! Additional rules are in the prompt description. You will earn the same amount of wisps as you would normally if the piece were submitted as general art, with the exception of pet bonuses being inapplicable. Please include a wisp breakdown in your comments, fill out the given form, and attach your wisps manually!
The number of wisps you earn in each attack also directly translates to the number of points contributed to the event's point meter! Your attack will be logged on the Event Point Meter document, and your points will be added to the total, contributing towards new prizes for everyone...
Β
Step 3. enter the raffle
At the end of the event, a google form will be posted, allowing anyone who participated to enter a free raffle for all prizes unlocked by the community! On the form, you'll be able to rank each prize by preference. The order of rolled winners' picks will be based on contribution to the event's point meter: the more points you score, the higher the possibility of winning your first choice prize!
The top few 5 point scorers also earn bonus prizes. More info below!

Updated guides

Some big updates have been made to our guides! First, the Beginner's Guide has been heavily expanded and now includes much more information on our ARPG's activities, shops, basic activities, and more. Additionally, the Prompt Value Guide now includes detailed breakdowns for scenes and what does/doesn't qualify for planes and background aspects. I hope this helps!!

in the works!
1) Information on Major Organizations [expected release: August]
2) Babies... [expected release: October]
3) Full site aesthetic overhaul... [expected release: November]
+ more...
βββββββββ ౨ৠβββββββββ
Updates
1) Writing bonus for prompts is now +500 words = +100 wisps, to match the ratio of artwork!
2) The Tortuvina Swan Wings trait has been renamed to Feathered Wings.
3) A new rule has been added to the Code of Conduct: "YOU MAY NOT... Harass others for their items or characters. This includes making offers when those items/characters aren't explicitly put UFO." (in summary, don't DM others to offer on stuff they didn't put UFO!)
4) A full site aesthetic overhaul is planned for November! I would like to move the ARPG's main aesthetic away from the current 'shiny green & blue', as it doesn't represent Faia's lore in any way. The new aesthetic I have planned will mostly focus on the colors purple and yellow, representing Light and Wither! The overhaul will include new default site themes, hopefully new artwork for all items and pets in a new style (I will be getting an iPad soon... no more touchpad art...), as well as new trait rarity colors. Updated artwork will roll out gradually after the initial overhaul in November!
