The Heartsong Festival Comes To A Close
Vixon stood with a Roseweaver Rose clasped loosely in his hands, looking out toward the horizon with a soft smile. The landscape of Santae was bursting into spring, but the tell-tale drifts of petals on the breeze that marked the Heartsong season were diminished.
Vixon lifted the rose to his face to inhale its sweet scent, his mind filling with memories of Heartsong Festivals long past. He used to share long walks with the love of his life, each one striving to find the most perfect Roseweaver Rose to give to the other.That was long ago. Vixon sighed, struggling not to let the bitter-sweetness of the season's end overwhelm him.
But he couldn't lose hope! The magical flames wreathing Vixon's pauldrons and hair flared brighter in response to his burst of energy.
Vixon would wait as long as he needed to for the return of his love, and collect all the Roseweaver Roses in Santae if he had to!
Blossombreeze and Roseweaver Petals are no longer Widespread, but Vixon's Eternal Heartsong will go on -- Adventurers are still welcome to exchange Roseweaver Roses to him in exchange for gifts!
Mystical Dreamscapes Are Approaching
A hooded traveler was making their way toward the Lani Archipelago with precious cargo in tow.
The word had spread: A mystical marketplace was soon to open -- and Kalina was determined to set up shop at the new Trading Post as soon as possible!
The items in their cart were unassuming at first glance. They were small trinkets and baubles of all shapes and sizes: plant samples, carved stones, samples of feathers.
But each one was much more than it initially appeared. These objects were all enchanted with powerful illusions, able to project the image of a mystical environment around any Pet that held it! Kalina had perfected the technique of weaving the magic so that the illusory Dreamscape could transform in time with the rising and setting of the sun in Santae, shifting from day to night.
They were excited to share their wares with the Adventurers of Santae -- but they had to reach the Trading Post first. Redoubling their effort, Kalina picked up the pace and continued along the road to the Archipelago.
They would be there soon!
Thank you to our incredible community of Kickstarter backers, whose generous contributions made the development of Pet Backgrounds possible!
Support Tickets Now Available On-Site
We are now transitioning Support Tickets to be on Santae itself. They will work for users whether logged in or visiting as a guest.
The new system is now accessible via "Main" -> "Support" on the site navigation bar. From the Support Ticket page, you can create new tickets and view any tickets that you have open already. Each ticket supports a chat window that connects you directly with staff to discuss your issue. You will see a pop up display on your window when it has been responded to.
Once we see that the new on-site system is working correctly, we'll be turning off the support system that is currently hosted in Discord.
Please don't hesitate to contact the Santae Team through a support ticket if you are in need of assistance!
