Void Orb

The **Void Orb** is an item which can be found while clicking creatures with an elemental affinity for Dark.

## Description

When looking at this orb you get the unsettling feeling that something is looking back. You decide to pick it up and keep it with you anyway, what could go wrong?

## Effect

The Void Orb can be used on creatures with an elemental affinity for Dark, which have a Zenith form and which have at least 200 clicks. Doing so will turn the creature into its Zenith form. Once changed, it cannot be changed back into its Adult form unless it is sold, traded or abandoned.
The item cannot be used from the inventory, and instead needs to be used at The Portal.

Shelled Spook

**Shelled Spooks** are the Shelled creature released during the Spring Festival 2017. Players had to collect items and craft them into the creature.

## Descriptions

### Egg

It's a lump of clay... It seems to be surrounded in a magical aura.

#### Last two cracks

The strange clay has taken on the shape of an egg.

### Hatchling

The egg has cracked and you can see a faint glow radiating from the fractures.

### Mature Hatchling

The top of the egg has popped off and a strange purple mist has begun to rise out of it, not only that you've noticed a disturbing pattern on the shell. Creepy.

### Adult

Shelled Spooks are a unique species of creature native to the lands of Ostlea. These odd little creatures are created from a combination of special magic, materials, and tender care during the Spring Festival. Because of this, Shelled Spooks are an entirely domestic species and cannot be found in the wild unless released by their crafter or other unfortunate circumstances have taken place. Though these beings may send chills down your spine upon first glance they are fiercely loyal to their owners and will stop at nothing to keep them safe... Unfortunately they have been known to take things a bit far. It might be a good idea to keep an eye on this little monster.

Tales of Ostlea Wikia

The official ***Tales of Ostlea*** wiki
We have created over 338 articles. Help us improve that number!

*Ostlea is a thriving country of magic. It was founded many years ago by people driven out of their own countries, whether it be because of corrupt government or war. As the country grew, the various temperatures and assorted areas in the country proved to help it. Some areas are blazing hot from roasting in the sun, while other areas are freezing cold from the frigid snow that descends. Then there is everything in between; jungles full of life, vast bodies of water, and caves glowing with riches such as gold and silver. Living in these areas are creatures that are just as unique-if not more than-their habitats. The creatures have proven themselves extremely helpful in the growth of Ostlea. As such, many citizens of Ostlea raise various creatures to help with daily life, or to simply just have fun with!*

## Creature of the Month

Frost Ryukoi spend their whole lives swimming against the current of icy-cold rivers, leaping up out of the water occasionally, and trying to make it as far upstream as they can. Why they do this is unknown, although there is a legend which states that those who successfully make it all the way upstream, become dragons. Frost Ryukoi lay their eggs in the cold, northern oceans but as soon as they hatch, they start making their way to the nearest river. An adult Frost Ryukoi will survive in salt water long enough to lay eggs, but will need to return to its river quickly. They cannot live in warmer waters at all. Frost Ryukoi appear mostly towards the end of the year, but can occasionally be seen at other times. Frost Ryukoi reach mating maturity at 10 years old. In choosing a mate they look for the most beautiful fins and longest whiskers. After finding a mate they commence a mating dance, which involves a lot of swimming in circles around each other.

Rainbow Potion

The **Rainbow Potion** is an item which can be purchased from the Apothecary.

## Description

Using this potion on a Jewelviper egg will allow it to hatch into one of its alternate colorations.

## Effect

The Jewelviper potion can be used on Jewelviper eggs. Doing so will allow the egg to hatch into one of the alternate forms. Once changed, the Jewelviper cannot change back to its normal (Jet) form. The potion can be used on bred Jewelviper eggs to change it to any of the forms it isn't already.

Only one Rainbow Potion can be used per Jewelviper, so it is not possible to feed one egg multiple potions to get the desired form.

Reaver Wyvern

###  Habitat

Reavers enjoy riding the volcanic thermals near Mt. Ekoh, scouring the landscape for dead and dying animals

###  Elemental affinity

Air
Dark

###  Egg group

Large

The **Reaver Wyvern** is a creature found in Mt. Ekoh. They were released on the fifth day of the first Creature Symposium.

## Descriptions

### Hatchling

A ravenous little dragon hatched from the egg! Its skin is smooth and soft, except for the rows of needle-like spines that adorn its neck and wingtips. It seems sociable enough, but its sharp spines and tendency to roughhouse haven't endeared it to your other creatures.

### Mature Hatchling

The little dragon is... not so little anymore. It has grown quite brash, and now has no qualms about stealing food from even the most ferocious of creatures. You often see it gliding in slow circles around your homestead, searching for carrion to snack on. Despite its belligerence, it seems quite attached to you and often brings dead rodents and birds to your doorstep as gifts. Hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

### Adult

A sociable species, Reaver Wyverns are nature's easily-tamed cleaning crew. Feeding exclusively on carrion, they pose little danger to any smaller creatures or people living in their vast territories, and are usually a welcome sight. Should a small pack be spotted, tracing their usual lazy, graceful circles through the sky, there is no cause for concern. Wild Reavers are only ever aggressive when fighting over a carcass or defending their young. However, should more than a dozen be spotted flying in formation, beware! Reavers are a popular mount for bandits, pirates, and raiders, and unfortunately the sighting of these gentle scavengers is often followed by the pillaging and destruction of a peaceful village.

Valierawolf

* Normal
* Imim Berain (Oddity)
* Imim Lefen (Oddity)

## Imim Lefen Valierawolf

**Valierawolves** are wolves which can be bought in the Menagerie for 1 per egg. They were released alongside the Cuddle Plushie during the February 2016 Seasonal Release. They are not seasonal, however.

## Descriptions

### Egg

Holding this mysterious egg makes you feel fierce.

### Hatchling

An adorable wolf puppy hatched from the egg... but it seems to have a few too many tails. It loves to play-fight.

### Mature Hatchling

The wolf puppy has grown quite a bit, and has developed beautiful markings. It enjoys pretending to hunt your other creatures, howling after each successful catch.

### Adult

Valierawolves are beautiful, fierce wolves. They live in packs of up to 20 wolves, led by an alpha pair. The packs are highly territorial and don't just defend their existing territory, but actively seek out new territory, even going to battle with other packs for it. It is not uncommon for a Valierawolf to lose one of its nine tails in such a battle.
They breed all year long, and newly hatched pups are cared for by the whole pack. The wolves choose their partner by the amount of battle scars; the more scars a wolf has, the higher its chance of mating. They do not mate for life, although alpha pairs often stay together for years.

## Trivia

Although Gryffi had no part in the creation of the Valierawolves, Rhynn created a special oddity for her as a thank-you for all the work she does for Tales of Ostlea. This marks the first time an oddity was given out for something other than the site opening, holiday or donation creature.

The name 'Valierawolf' comes from two words in a language made up by Rhynn, Eyenera; Vali (meaning Glory) and Era (meaning Battle). The wolves gain glory for themselves and their pack by doing battle, so it is a rather fitting name.

The names for the Oddities are constructed similarly. Imim means pride, as the wolves are very proud. Lefen means daring, and Berain means cunning.

Skullini

## Day Skullini

**Skullinis** are a creature found in Scylla's Cove

## Night Skullini

### Hatchling

A tiny crab skittered out of the egg; its shape makes you uneasy though you're not sure why.

### Mature Hatchling

The crab is continuously molting and growing. You've begun to notice that with each molt its shell begins to look more and more like a human skull.

### Adult

Skullini are considered to be one of the eeriest creatures found in Ostlea - with their odd skull-shaped exoskeletons and glowing 'eyesockets,' it's really no wonder. Due to their unique appearance, they've gained the reputation as harbingers of death, said to steal the souls of innocent passersby who happen to glance into their glowing "eyes." Naturally, these are nothing more than rumors, and after intense studies, it was found that the wax and wane of the glow seems to simply be their way of contacting other Skullini at night.

However, not everyone believes the worst of these strange beings. In most coastal communities, Skullinis are believed to be guides to the afterlife, ferrying the souls lost at sea to their final resting place. Some of these villages even take it as far as to incorporate these creatures into their fall ceremonies, where they honor the dead by painting intricate designs on wild Skullinis' shells and releasing them back into the water. Of course, these little crabs don't mind, they love being in the company of others.

Peppermint Elixir

The **Peppermint Elixir** is a potion which can be purchased from the Apothecary during the Winter Holiday event, and which was given out as a promo code during the Christmas 2015 event as part of the Christmas Countdown.

## Description

Feeding this elixir to an adult Glacienne Moth will result in it taking on its festive Candycane Moth coloration.

## Effect

The Peppermint Elixir can be used on adult Glacienne Moths. Doing so will turn the creature into its festive form, with red wings and green antennae; the Candycane Moth. Once changed, the moth cannot change back to its normal form.

Silver

**Silver** is the main currency of Tales of Ostlea.

## Earning

Earning silver is done through various methods. The main method is to click creatures, which is rewarded with 7 to 10 silver per click. Each creature can only be clicked once a day, however. Clicking creatures is done primarily through the Nursery.

The other method is through selling creatures and items. Junk items can be sold for a small amount of silver each. Creatures can be sold through the Market Place for however much the seller sets it for; however, setting the amount too high will make it difficult to actually sell the creature.

## Spending

Silver can be spent to purchase creatures, food or Apothecary items. Creatures can be bought in the Menagerie or the Market Place. Food is purchasable in the Farmer's Market. Apothecary items like gender influencing nests, creature potions and gender changing potions are available at the Apothecary.
Shell Piercer

###  Diet

The inside of shells/shelled creatures like giant clams and oysters. Rarely other animals

###  Egg group

Large

The **Shell Piercer** is a creature found in Scylla's Cove. They were released on the fourth day of the first Creature Symposium.

A Zenith stage was added during the First Birthday event.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg is more like a sack filled with water. You can see something hiding inside.

### Hatchling

This small hatching sleeps in puddles of water and hardly moves.

### Mature Hatchling

The hatchling seems to hide in deeper water now, often times hiding away from you. You think it may be disappearing to hunt for food.

### Adult

The shell piercer is a large, slow walking creature. Almost appearing to stalk about, it finds places for it to rest under the water for long periods of time. It is not an active creature, and often times becomes buried in the sand under the water. The shell piercer does not need to eat much due to its inactivity, and walks into the deeper waters to find shelled food. It eats via a tubed proboscis that shoots out from under its chin. The proboscis having a hard spike to the tip to get into the shelled prey easily, sucking out the insides. Though large and
intimidating they seem to not care much for people. One can even sit on top a sleeping one and it would not budge from its spot.

Trick or Treat

Event banner

**Trick or Treat** was part of the Halloween 2016 event.

## Event

It was a forum event which allowed all forum members to create a 'house' (thread) where other members could trick or treat to get creatures, items, silver, etc. - whatever the house owner was giving out.

## Announcement

Hello my lovely Ostleans! We have quite a bit of news for you today!

**Trick or Treat!**
In honor of the up coming holiday we've created a temporary sub-forum where we'd like to invite you all for some trick or treating!

How will this work? We'll it's actually quite simple, any user, staff or not, is invited to create their own thread which will function as their "house", trick-or-treaters can visit each house by posting in the thread and the house owner will then send a private trade with a treat (or trick). House owners are welcome to have their own "house rules" if they choose but please be sure to keep them simple and in the spirit of the holiday!

Come join in the fun!

The sub-forum will be open from now until November 2nd! Enjoy!
Oddity

**Oddities** are special colourations of creatures which are given to their creators. They are sometimes known as Spriter's Alts, despite being available not only to spriters, but also to other people involved in their creation.

## Occasions

In the past, not all creatures could have oddities. They were only given for certain occasions. These were usually holidays or donation pets, but some other occasions may also have been given oddities. An example of such an occasion is the site opening, where each artist with on-site work at opening was allowed to make an oddity for one of their released creatures.

As of July 2016 however, the system for giving out Oddities has changed. Staff contributing to the site are now given points for each of their contributions, which they can then exchange for Oddities. Some sprites have made it possible for fellow staff members to acquire lairborn versions of their creations' oddities, which is why staff members may have lairborn oddities which were originally exclusive to another staff member.

## Breeding

It is possible for Lairborn oddities to breed true, although the chance is very small. Oddity offspring can never create more oddities. Therefore, the owners of the oddities always have full control over what happens with the offspring of their oddities.

## Site Opening Oddities

Spriters who were staff at the time of the site's opening, but did not have any creatures in the Opening Day Release, got their Site Opening oddities at a later date. In this list, these alts are marked with a \*.
Ostlea: A Land of Legends - Creation & New Beginnings

***Creation & New Beginnings*** is the first chapter in the Library book *Ostlea: A Land of Legends*. It is the legend of how Ostlea was created.

## Story

Long ago, back when the universe was still new, and the trees were nothing more than seeds, two beings possessing great power came into existence. One, a strong willed Phoenix whose feathers looked as if they were made from the sun itself, and the other, a pure hearted, majestic Dragon with glittering scales that matched the moon in the dark night's sky.

Over the years the pair kept an eye over the world as it grew. They watched as Kingdoms rose and fell, wars began and ended, new creatures were born as others were wiped from the planet. Life went on for the rest of the world, but nothing ever seemed to change for them. They wanted something more, to be something more than simply just watchers and yet at the same time they couldn't fit into the current world. They needed to create a land of their own.

Seeing the potential in the plains where they slept, they pooled together their powers and raised great volcanoes, dense forests, frigid glaciers and caves filled with luminescent crystals creating a perfect little world for the creatures that would soon inhabit the area. They went to work gathering eggs from all the earth's creatures, bringing them back with them to their home.

It wasn't long before their quest was nearing completion, only one more species remained. Humans. Should they be allowed in? Could they be trusted? There was much debate on what to do with these creatures. The Phoenix did not trust them one bit, he believed all they were capable of was war and destruction, while the dragon saw a kinder side to them. She had observed the kinds of civilizations they were capable of creating, the kindness they could show towards not only each other but other creatures. She knew if given the chance they could become great leaders of this new country.

In the end the Dragon won the argument and they began their final search. It was not long before they settled on their choice: it was a small group of outcasts, some exiled, others merely trying to escape the cruel rulers of their once homes. By day the Phoenix would lead the group towards their sanctuary, sometimes by singing a sweet melody or entrancing them with the beauty of his glorious feathers. By night the Dragon would fill their dreams with the wonders of what awaited them in their new home.

In a matter of days they had arrived at their destination. The people were awestruck by the beauty of the new world; finally they had found the place they had only dreamed of, somewhere they could be safe and live in peace. It did not take long for them to settle. A small council and eventually a ruler was elected and a town built for themselves as well as shrines honoring their great Sun God, the Phoenix and Moon Goddess, the Dragon. The only thing that remained was a name for their country. Ostlea. A new beginning, a new hope.

## Babycone

Pinecones are special creatures given out to staff and testers at the site's opening. They were gifted as a thank-you for the support given before the opening.

## Description

It's an ordinary pinecone and yet you've decided to take it home to keep as a companion. And you wonder why the other townspeople look at you oddly...

## Girlcones

On the 2nd of November 2015, Gryffi created the very first Girlcone, a pinecone with a pink bow on it: Philipine. Girlcones have a slightly different description:

It's an ordinary pinecone and yet you've decided to take it home to keep as a companion. Wait! Did you put a bow on it?! And you wonder why the other townspeople look at you oddly...

It was verified by Gryffi that girlcones can also be male. It is not currently known how girlcones can be obtained.

## Babycones

On the 3rd of November, 2015, the first ever Babycone was created; a small pinecone. These babycones can seemingly only be bred by existing pinecones and girlcones, though this feature doesn't seem to be available as of yet. Currently the only way to obtain one is to ask Gryffi in the giveaway thread on the forum.

Rejuvenating Fairy

**Rejuvenating fairies** are potion items which can be purchased from the Apothecary.

## Description

This strange creature described as a fairy resets all growth on eggs, reducing clicks to 0.

## Effect

This item resets clicks on eggs back to 0, reversing the egg sprite back to its original form at stage 0.

## Trivia

In the announcement, a longer version of the description is included:

*This strange creature described as a fairy resets all growth on eggs, reducing clicks to 0. The instructions read: Release the cap, pull the tag to imbue fairy with timeless sand, and point in direction of egg. Someone appears to have hijacked the label, crossing out the original name and replacing it with "S U P E R G L". There was not enough room for them to finish.*

On the inventory page, the Rejuvenating Fairy is listed as a Rejuvenation item. However, it can be considered a potion.

Solsynth Dragon

* Noxynth (Oddity)

## Noxynth Dragon

**Solsynth Dragons** are creatures found in the Shop for 2000 per egg. They were released during the Summer 2016 Seasonal Release, and are the Summer 2016 seasonal creature.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This prickly egg turns a vivid green when you hold it out in the sunlight.

### Hatchling

A pale serpentine creature has hatched from the egg! It doesn't seem to move very much...

### Mature Hatchling

You've discovered that the creature becomes significantly more animated in the sun, and ever since you started taking it outside for daily sunbaths, it's grown much bigger!

### Adult

Solsynth Dragons are a fairly interesting species of reptile who absolutely adore warm temperatures and basking in the sun. In fact, the entirety of their sustenance comes from the magic in the sun's rays. Being self-sufficient, Solsynth Dragons soak this magic up and use it to keep their bodies running, similar to the way plants use photosynthesis. While the energy courses through their veins, it causes their scales to become painted in brilliant shades of green and yellow. However, because Solsynth Dragons can only maintain this magic within themselves for short periods of time, the color drains from their scales when the sun goes down and they remain fairly inactive during the dark hours of each day.

Selling

**Selling** is an action which can be performed on creatures and most items. In the case of creatures, it will list it on the Market Place. In the case of items, the item will get deleted and you will get an amount of silver in return.

## Creatures

Selling a creature is done through the creature's Manage page. One of the three links at the bottom is 'Sell' followed by the creature's code or name. Clicking this will allow the player to enter a price (in Silver) or cancel the trade.

Once created, the sale can be managed through the Market Place in the Bazaar, where there is a link at the top to view the creatures the player is selling.

## Items

Items are sold through the player's Inventory. Not all items can be sold; those that can will have a box to enter a number and a 'Sell' button. Selling items is rewarded with a certain amount of silver.

Once sold, an item cannot be recovered.

There are items on the site which are there purely to be sold; these are called Junk items.

Two new discoveries have been made in Ostlea!

*"This small, warm egg sizzles and fizzles when you touch it."*
These cannot currently be fed. They will be mass dropping in the cave and the volcano until Sunday at 11:59 pm site time, after which they will be mixed in with the normal drops and become feedable.

*"This small egg shifts its weight a lot, as though it's filled with water."*
This second egg has been added to the Menagerie, where they are sold for 1 crystal each. These can be fed.
Crystals can be purchased for $1 each on the Donation page.

River of Lost Souls

The **River of Lost Souls** is a river mentioned in the story *The River Wisp*.

## Location

It is unknown if the River of lost Souls is a real location on Ostlea. Therefore, it is also not known where its exact location would be, although it is likely to be in or close to Elegema Forest, as that is where the wisp in the story is said to live.

## Description

The river is said to appear shallow in depth, and slow-moving in speed. However, it quickly becomes clear that this is not the case; as it pulls under those who enter it. It is likely that there is a very strong undercurrent responsible for this.

Trading

**Trading** is one of the actions to get rid of unwanted creatures, the others being Selling and Abandoning. Trading is swapping creatures, silver or crystals for other creatures, silver or crystals. Trading is done through the Trading Post.

## Gifting

Gifting is a form of trading in which one person does not get anything in return for what they are trading away. This is only possible in private trades; public trades always need at least one thing to be offered in return.

## Private Trades

Private trades are only accessible by the creator of the trade and the intended recipient. The intended recipient is chosen by the creator at the time of the trade's creation. A private trade cannot be made without entering a recipient.

There is currently a bug where failing to enter the recipient's name with the correct capitalisation, will result in a bugged trade and notification for the recipient. Therefore, care must be taken to always enter the name right.

## Public Trades

Public trades are accessible by anyone with the link to the trade. This link can be copied by the trade creator on the View Public Trades screen. Public trades are not accessible without the correct link.

## Restrictions

For trading creatures, there are some restrictions. Each person may only offer 10 creatures per trade. Additionally, all creatures must be in the same lair and on the same page.
Scylla's Cove

**Scylla's Cove** is one of the biomes. It is sometimes referred to as the Ocean.

Shortly after the site's opening, it was renamed from Scylla's Cavern to Scylla's Cove, which is also what's written on the map.

## Description

You start hearing the sound of the ocean as you continue walking. Once you climb over a hill, you see a beach accompanied by a vast ocean. Walking along the beach, you see a cavern in the distance. The cavern has a vibe of magic emerging from it; all the more reason to explore it! When you arrive in the cave, there are eggs sitting on the floors, and a few other lifeforms such as urchins, barnacles, and small fish.

Will you take one?

Penitent Path

The **Penitent Path** is a biome which was only accessible during the April Fools 2016 event.

## Description

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and is looking up to be a lovely spring day! Deciding to take a walk you wander along the path... but alas you are betrayed! Something reaches out and trips you! Gathering your wits (and dignity) you glance back to see what sort of foul ruffian has accosted you so! ...oh my but it's a lovely ruffian. The egg shaped thing before you shimmers and glitters in the sun, surely it must hatch into something magnificent!

Tundra Squirrel

**Tundra Squirrels** are rodents found in Sunanie Glacier. The were released during the Late January 2016 Release alongside the Hellspawn Jellies, which were released in secret.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This tiny egg must have fallen out of the tree. Better pick it up.

### Hatchling

The egg hatched into a very tiny little creature. It likes to be held near your heart.

### Mature Hatchling

It's fluffed up dramatically and is growing dark fur on its upperparts and head. Having also figured out how to glide, you have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't crash into your lamps. Or anything else....

### Adult

Tundra squirrels are tiny as far as most squirrels are concerned, being small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of one's hand. They are active, spending almost the entire day gliding from tree to tree to fraternize with the rest of the clan. Nesting high in tree trunks in hollowed-out holes, tundra squirrels are capable climbers, even scaling high branches to get at berries and nuts that aren't yet covered in ice and snow. Unless threatened - in which case they can bite very hard if necessary - these squirrels are quite shy, fleeing at almost everything. They're among the hardest prey to catch due to their nimbleness and speed - not to mention that they don't even have to touch the ground to escape, instead gliding lazily from tree to tree until the exhausted predator gives up.

Ostern Valley

**Ostern Valley** is a biome which is only accessible during the Easter events.

## Description

In dawns pink and purplish light, you follow the rising sun on Easter morning. Up ahead in the distance you see a shimmering light. Your eyes are weary and you think your sight is playing tricks on you. It appears to look like a place of pure imagination. Is it an oasis? Maybe an illusion spell? You realize you have come across the Ostern Valley, a mysterious place where the magic of Spring becomes real. It is rumored that every year around Easter time a new, rare creature can be found here.

Will you take one?

Wendigo

**Wendigos** are creatures found in the Shop for 2000 per egg. They were part of the opening day release. Wendigo are seasonal creatures, only being available during the fall.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg is pale, cold, and a little bit slimy. Ew.

### Hatchling

You aren't quite sure what this hatchling is supposed to be, but it's cold and mewls weakly - clearly needing your care - so you take it in anyway.

### Mature Hatchling

It's definitely a peculiar creature. Vaguely cervine, it mainly walks on its hind legs, leaving its eerily hand-like forepaws free to grasp anything that gets too close. However, most shocking is the skull it has in place of a normal head, and the ghostly glow that has begun to emanate from where its eyes should be is really starting to unnerve you as well. Although it is incapable of speech you swear you sometimes hear it whisper your name....

### Adult

Never is it recommended to wander the forests of Ostlea alone at night. The forests are home to shocking array of dangerous creatures, and the wendigo is no exception. Wendigos are rarely seen but on the darkest of nights; their ghostly, glowing eyes have sent many an unfortunate traveler running for their lives. But, if the whisperings in villages bordering those dark forests are to be believed, the mere sight of a wendigo is not cause for alarm. In fact, several leading naturalists on a recent expedition to study wendigos reported that, even at close range, the fearsome beasts behaved as though oblivious to their presence. Curiously, a few members of that expedition did report hearing someone - or something - whispering their name in the night. Those members were mysteriously missing the next morning, never to be seen again.

## Disconnecting Internet

In my room. S.W.'s in the other room on her computer, completely absorbed. I sit on my bed and spend some time queuing a Nirvana song up on Quicktime, making sure the window is at the top of the screen, stretched to either side. I set it down and play it while I jump up to the rafter and try and hang and exercise my shoulders, my first two attempts fail, but when I remember C.S.'s advice, and forcibly tell myself to "engage the shoulders" I manage to hold myself up for a bit.

I really want to go out and show someone my computer, because I think the way I set up grunge on stretched Quicktime is really funny. I don't think specifically about S.W., but she's the only person there. I walk out and run into C.H. I eagerly ask if he wants to check this grunge thing out, and he gets reminded of E.B.'s band's new single that's supposedly really grunge. I act interested and hide my dissapointment and mixed feelings about E.B. The song is a really well made country song. I wonder if he put on the wrong one, but I'm impressed by the quality and professionalism of the recording, and how good E.B.'s voice has gotten. THe only lyric I remember is "in the middle of the night," but I might be wakingly equating it with the sound of that Shania Twain hit from the 90s "That Don't Impress Me Much."

## Waking Correlations and Synchronicities

From report: Right after I get up T.L. puts on a Roger Miller tape, country music I first heard while travelling with E.B.

Tales of Ostlea

**Tales of Ostlea**is a virtual pet site that opened on October 8th, 2015. The site puts the player in the shoes of a tamer in the vast world of Ostlea. As part of this role, players can raise creatures from their eggs by getting clicks on them. Creatures can only be clicked once a day by any person or IP address, but this resets at 12am and creatures can be clicked again.

Many features on the site are accessed through currency, whether it be silver  or crystals . Silver is obtained by clicking creatures of any age, but it can be traded between players as well. Crystals are a donation currency and are used to buy special creatures that are otherwise not obtainable.
Royal-Winged Ray

* Normal
* Rose
* Gilded (Oddity)

###

Creature of the Months October and November 2016

## Gilded Royal-Winged Ray

**Royal-Winged Rays** are creatures found in Scylla's Cove. They were part of the opening day release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

Moisture glistens off of this incredibly smooth, dark egg.

### Hatchling

A ray with embroidered fins hatched from the egg, and was insistent to get to the water straight away! It has been calmer since you found a nice pool to put it in.

### Mature Hatchling

The ray has become so large that you had to move it to a new body of water. It has shed to reveal some beautiful markings along its fins. Curiously, you recognize some of the markings to be magic runes...

### Adult

Royal-Winged Rays are much sought after for their gorgeous appearance by the royals and collectors of Ostlea, especially the rarer rose variations, caused when the ray is exposed to much more magic than usual while still in the egg. The rays' markings vary upon each individual, though similarities can be found between two rays that hatched in similar environments. This is because the magic in the air in the area they hatched in is imbued into the ray before it hatches, permanently etching the respective runes into the ray's skin. Despite that fact, Royal-Winged Rays rarely use their magic to cast spells except when catching prey. Since all rays hatch in water, one of the runes etched into their skin will always be a Water Rune. Because the rays never use magic for any purpose except to cast illusions for catching food, they are mostly wanted for their looks and not much else. Luckily, these large creatures are content to simply sit in a private pond or garden and be fed where they can be shown off. Royal-Winged Rays in the wild often travel in small pods or alone, and lay their eggs near coral reefs so their young have an immediate food source while still being far out enough from the shore that the tides don't affect them. Once the hatchling outgrows the coral reef, it ventures into deeper waters where there is more food for it.

## Trivia

According to Amphyrre, the Royal-Winged Rays were originally supposed to be Lace-Winged Rays. However, the lace pattern didn't look right in spriting, so they were re-branded to Royal-Winged Ray instead.

Ryukoi Pearl

The **Ryukoi Pearl** is an item which can be purchased from the Apothecary.

## Description

Give this pearl to your adult Ryukoi to change it into its Ascended Ryukoi form.

## Effect

The Ryukoi Pearl can be used on adult Ryukoi. Doing so will turn the creature into its alternate form, the Ascended Ryukoi form. Once changed, the Ryukoi cannot be changed back to its normal form.

## Trivia

On the inventory page, the Ryukoi Pearl is listed as a Transformation item, a trait it shares with the Enchanted Sock. However, since its effect is identical to that of a potion, it can be considered a potion.

Philip Decoy

The **Philip Decoy** is a junk item which is gotten from a promo code. The promo code was given out as an apology for the server downtime during the Halloween 2015 event.

## Description

Philip? Wait... no. It's just a decoy. \*sigh\* Maybe you can at least sell it to Gryffi for some silver?

## Effect

The Philip Decoy is a junk item and can therefore not be used. It can be sold from the inventory for 8000 .

## Trivia

The Philip Decoy is a fake version of Gryffi's pinecone creature, Philip.

On the inventory page, the Philip Decoy is listed as a Gift item. However, since its effect is identical to that of junk items, it is considered a junk item.

## Доброе утро!

Walking up and down the street, feels like Harrison. I hang out in this bar in Ocean Shores, or the little dive in La Conner.

I'm supposed to go back in and wait. I was just watching groups of bikers down the street and worrying they were neo nazis, and when I go back in there are a bunch of them sitting and drinking throughout.

## Waking Correspondance and Synchronicities

Less than a year later now there have been incidents of groups of neo-nazis coming to town to support the police[1][2] in the shooting of Andre Thompson and Bryson Chaplin in Olympia, WA [3], which is not the first time such hate-groups have violently asserted their presence in Olympia[4]
