It was a warm Summer afternoon as class was just about to end at the Pinnacles Academic Hall. Rose Clearwater, a scholar and the lead researcher of a team dedicated to the studies of mythical creatures was just finishing her lecture to 400 students on the different class systems of pets and why they are distinct.

"...and ultimately through my research I have discovered that there are 4 distinct classes of pets in the world of Santae - Primal, Arcane, Luminary and Radiant.

Primal pets are very common. Most Santarians own at least one or more to explore the world with.

Examples of this class -"
Rose pointed at the slideshow on the board behind her.

"- are the ferocious Direfang, or the Adorable Pippim!"

Rose fumbled with her clicker, before finally pressing the button, which revealed two crudely drawn sketches of creatures that looked nothing like any known pets:

"Arcane pets are pets that we know existed in the world. We have clear evidence of their presence from the past, and their histories are well documented. Other than the Grusim which is rumored to have been recently discovered at the Lava Caves, no one alive has ever seen any other pet of this class, such as the Phasmic or Rhymoss."

Rose clicked her clicker, and a beautiful blue dragon-like creature appeared on the screen.

"This is a Drava. It has been extinct for thousands of years until recently. Our wonderful explorer, Vespera, stumbled upon a cave full of Divine Drava Figurines which can turn your pet into a Drava. No known cases of the Drava live in the wild naturally, and so therefore this, along with the Raylen, are considered the Luminary pet class."

Rose clicked her clicker one final time, and many in the class gasped in awe.

"These sketches are of the Wispyr, Quibbit and Kyree - they are based on ancient descriptions of these creatures. This is the rarest pet class - the Radiant class. These creatures are thought to be just myth and might not have even ever existed at all. It is down to us, as academics to uncover the mysteries of these pets if we are ever to determine the truth about their origins."

Just as Rose finished her lecture, the bell rang, and her class started to file out of the classroom. Fighting against the hoard of scurrying students came one of Rose's research assistants, Dawn.

"Come.. quick...", she gasped, out of breath, she had clearly been running. Before Rose could even reply, Dawn followed up with "You need to see this!" and started running back the way she came, with her wings fluttering excitedly.

"That is Vespera's Iricampus - Dew!" one researcher shouted out - "and it is holding a letter!".

Rose walked over to the Iricampus. "So, little friend. Do you bring us news from Vespera?". Dew dropped the letter at Rose's feet, and Rose unfurled it and read it aloud;

"Dear Pinnacle researchers, I met with Silvershade at the Minimal Ranch, and I think they have stumbled onto something here - possibly a new creature!

In order to test our theory, we need to clear the waterways of trash. I'm sending my best adventurers there soon to come help fish at the Stormforge Caverns. If we clear the trash, we might get a glimpse of the creature!
Tell the adventurers to send their trash to the Lani Archipelagoes.
- Vespera"

After reading the letter, Rose's eyes glazed over as she remembered casual bedtime stories such as "The Grumpy Grusim", "Kyree & Me", "Whispers of the Wispyr" and "Phasmic's Neon Nightmare" as a small child. She was inspired by Myth, driven by it. "What happened to these pets of legend?", "Were they fabricated just to scare the children? Or is there some truth to them?".. All sorts of questions would go around her child-mind day-and-night, and it's that motivation that drove her to pursue an education and career focused on studying them - were any of them ever real? Or were they just folklore that our parents told us?

Rose snapped back to the present. Tears filled her eyes.

"We must allow the adventurers to fish in the Caverns! Dawn, spread the word - let's see what we find!"

Head deep into these Caverns via the "Fishing" button on the "Explore" menu to see if we can help Vespera clear all the Fishing Trash!

Comment on this news post telling us which location you think will be revealed next, and if you are correct, you will receive a FREE Elite Fishing Rod!

Barnaby has cleared out his storage locker and now has more space for all the trash that is being handed over. He will now accept 100 items per hour while we work towards the Community Goal!


Barnaby: "Bring your Fishing Trash to my stall - I have plenty of  sanDust to exchange!"
