NEW Arrivals!

The Serpent's Glade

The Serpent's Glade is finally here... and for those of you who have been collecting runestones since the Bloom Festival, you're in the homestretch! The current Frost Festival marks the final seasonal festival of this year, as well as a full year of events run (wooooo!)

Upon collecting all four Runestones, you will unlock lore and receive the Glade Portal. Keeping this item in your inventory grants entrance into the Serpent's Glade, where you'll have access to bonus content such as Glade-exclusive pets, traits, exploration, magic, lore, and more... I'll keep the details a surprise for you to find out yourself!

New Suptypes

Three new Ruptour subtypes have arrived in Faia: Mamba, Kitsune, and Aurora Griffon! Mamba items are obtainable from within the Serpent's Glade, while both Kitsune and Aurora Griffon (Frost Festival only) items can be purchased on Ko-Fi~

New ART

Pretty much all potions and charms have been reworked in the new art style! You should now be able to easily distinguish the species a potion is applicable to based on its bottle shape!
