Welcome the enthralling new event, **Message of Pegasus**!

Poets Square is the most picturesque place in Darkwood. A small fountain, a view of the river with a beautiful bridge: it's not surprising that writers, artists, musicians, and actors simply adore it. There's a beautiful ice sculpture on the fountain too! It seems as if the ice Pegasus is about to fly into the sky.

But where did it come from? What secret is hiding behind this quiet, idyllic facade? Can you stand against fate and return creativity to its former beauty and glory? Arm yourself with inspiration, Seeker, the future of art is in your hands!

Completion of the overall Message of Pegasus Event by finishing all 3 challenge tasks (the 4th is just extra) will award the Player with the ? Medal. The new medal will go into the Player's Medals tab in the Casket Icon.

## Event Quests and Collection Items

The 30 new Event Quests are marked with a special decorative border and consist of 5 collection sequences of 6 quests each. The first 5 quests of each sequence are to find each of the 5 items belonging to one new collection added by the update. The 6th quest is to combine that collection.

**Note:** There is an extra Merchant's Recipe Quest (5 things to find in the Poets Square location and craft) before the completion of the Event Quests portion of the challenge.

Listed below are the 5 collections players must gather to complete the event's quests. *note a random artifact fixer is also awarded when a collection is combined.*

Once the Message of Pegasus Event is over, these collection items may be acquired by purchasing a special event TBA chest from the Store.

## Event Creatures

The Frosty Fairies are the new Event Creatures to banish: Little Blizzard, Lovely Frost, and Ice Keeper.

Little BlizzardLovely FrostIce Keeper
Placating the Event Creatures will award the new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections. Placate 100 and collect the Fairy Flower to complete the third stage of the Timed Challenge and enter into the top 1000 for Placating Leaderboard. Players may continue placating the event creatures to achieve a high score and placement on the Leaderboard.

The new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections are:

 Writer's Kit      | 36
 Tabletop Music Stand      | 18
 Satin Pointe Shoes      | 10

Although obtaining these Fixers sounds complicated, they can all be obtained in exactly the same way. **In the end, 52 Flower of Eternity are needed to complete the event quests.**

To placate the event creatures, you must first play the new Hidden Object Location Poets Square until you win some Flower of Eternity. You then use these Flower of Eternity to placate/banish the new 'Little Blizzard' event creature, collecting the Artist's Palette and Writer's Kit Fixers as you well as the Misty Mirror needed to placate/ banish the next event creature 'Lovely Frost'. Use the Misty Mirrors to placate/ banish 'Lovely Frost', collecting the Tabletop Music Stand Fixer and also the Treasure of the Glaciers needed to placate/ banish 'Ice Keeper' in order to get the Satin Pointe Shoes Fixer. Thus, as you play Poets Square in order to complete the 36 Special Quests and advance towards Virtuoso level, you will naturally collect all that you need to create the fixers required to combine the new event collections. Each placating of creatures also awards the Fairy Flowers needed to complete the third part of the event challenge itself.

These creatures will disappear as soon as the event is over, either by the completion of the Message of Pegasus challenge or by time running out for the event.

**Once the event ends, these Fixers will no longer be winnable**. However, the Fixers may be obtained from the Store by purchasing a TBA Chests. The chest will cost 5 rubies and contain 1 random Collection Item and 1 random Fixer from the Message of Pegasus Event.

## Completing the Timed Challenges

Keep in mind that the more you play the Location, the higher the Location Rank you will achieve for the Location, and the more Access Passes will be required for each play of that Location.

As a guide, in order to reach Virtuoso Rank on the Poets Square Location, and win the new Avatars, you will need to play the Location approximately **150 times**, which will require approximately **3,285** Crystal of Imagination Access Passes.
