Putting The Pieces Together
"Orion!" Vespera called, stepping into the laboratory housing the Resurrection Machine. "Rose! I'm back."
"Excellent, welcome," Orion greeted her. Vespera had been quick to respond to the researchers' call for assistance, and had spent the past day scouring Santae for fragments from The Meadow Forgotten alongside other Adventurers. "What have you brought us?"
"Another fragment," Vespera grinned, placing the shard down on Orion's desk.
"Oh, very good, very good," Orion muttered, carefully lifting the fragment to place it with the rest of the artifacts under study. Almost every surface in the lab was covered with neatly organized stone shards!
Vespera looked around, impressed. "Looks like I'm not the only one helping out. The Adventurers have been keeping you busy, haven't they?"
"Yes indeed," Orion replied. "It's a tremendous help! If this keeps up, we'll surely be able to learn everything there is to know about these relics." Orion swept his gaze across the growing collection and let out a small sigh. "We still need more materials, though. I think what has been gathered so far is probably about a third of what we need."
"Then there's no time to waste!" Vespera replied. "Let's continue the search!"
Skylar's Sproutspire Exchange
"Hello, Adventurers!"
"These items Orion and Coralyn have been sharing are simply fascinating. The Sproutspire season is such an exciting time in the natural world -- everything growing and changing so quickly! The plants and items infused with Sproutspire magic...I think I could learn a lot from them."
"Will you share some of the rewards you've been getting with me?"
"Turn in your Sproutspire items, and I will give you something interesting in exchange. Some of this stuff will surely come in handy later on!"
We hope by releasing the personal events early, each adventurer has had plenty of time to collect all they need for Skylar’s Quest!

Relics Of The Meadow Forgotten
It was inevitable: Wherever Scholar Orion spent any amount of time, books would start to appear.
His collection in the Resurrection Machine was still paltry compared to the grand library of Halo Haven or the university at the Floating Pinnacles -- but it was adding up. Each time he visited Halo Haven, an interesting tome or two would slip into his pack for the trip back to Sienna Canyon. Rose, too, had started to form the habit of keeping some of her research texts in the lab to reference while continuing to refine the operation of the Resurrection Machine.
That's why Orion wasn't surprised when he found a book he didn't recognize on one of the Lab's shelves. Its dusty cover betrayed great age, and its pages were dense with old-fashioned text. "Rose," Orion asked, holding the tome carefully. "Is this one of yours?"
"I don't think so..." Rose replied curiously. "What is it?"
"Hmm." Orion quickly scanned a few pages of the ancient book. "It's something like a travelogue. Let's see here..."
The book described a journey into the wild corners of Santae in search of a place of refuge. Ancient travelers discovered a hidden sanctuary within a lush meadow, and quickly discovered that it was the perfect haven where Pets could remain while not actively accompanying their companions on their journey. The serene landscape was full of hidden groves and corners -- perfect for hiding away secret relics.
"It sounds like a fascinating place," Rose murmured after Orion explained the contents of the tome. "The Meadow Forgotten -- I wonder if it could still exist?"
Orion perked up as his eyes fell on an object sitting upon the corner of his desk. "I think it must!" Orion cried, scooping up the chunk of stone. "I found this in the Mines during my last expedition," Orion tilted the mossy Relic fragment so Rose could see the hint of a hidden engraving on its surface.
"And look -- this marking seems like a good match for the descriptions in the book! Could this fragment be from The Meadow Forgotten itself?"
Rose's eyes lit up and she let out a squeak of excitement, causing Dex the Harlowin to raise its head from its nap and fix her with a curious look. "I think that is absolutely a possibility!" Rose said.
"We need to do more research," Orion agreed. "Perhaps Vespera and our Adventurer friends can discover more of these Relic Fragments for analysis?"
The journey has just begun!
Bring Relic Fragments To Orion For Rewards
Orion and Rose need your help, Adventurers! If you can recover more relics and bring them back to Orion, we may finally begin to unravel the true purpose of the ancient sanctuary of The Meadow Forgotten —and perhaps unlock its long-lost secrets.
We don't know for sure where these fragments could be hiding, so explore as much as you can to discover them! Venturing into Santae's wilder corners may be a good place to start. And perhaps one might even be tucked away where ancient runes are found...
Return the fragments to Orion in exchange for Sproutspire item rewards!
Something New Is Sprouting...
The verdant Sproutspire season has brought a fresh crop of rare plants and berries for you to gather! The fresh life of spring is humming through the earth all around us -- literally, in the case of the Rootsong Bulb that resonates with a song of new growth as it sprouts!
The new Verdance Fern and Petalshade Vine make a perfect colorful spring bouquet, and the refreshing Dewdrop and Blossombead Berries are a sweet seasonal treat! Can you collect them all?
If you take a rest by a shady riverbank to relax after a Gathering expedition, you might spot even more new seasonal bounty in the shadows! The glimmering Glowstream Fenira and delicate Bloomtail Virella await anglers skilled enough to reel them in.
TL;DR
★ Orion and Rose have uncovered the legend of an ancient refuge called The Meadow Forgotten, where Pets are said to be safe to roam while not journeying with an Adventurer.
★ Relic fragments from The Meadow Forgotten are appearing around Santae! Collect them to help discover the secrets of this mysterious haven -- and turn them in to Orion for rewards in exchange.
★ New berries, plants, and fish are available via gathering, foraging, and fishing!
