I hope that everyone's had a fun March, and with the Easter Egg Hunt and St. Patrick's Day Event. I know that I certainly had a blast running them! With the current Events as it were concluded for now, on with the news updates!

Bondings
Caradras: For the Highest Bid - This one may be close to new entrants, so you should check with Absent if you want to get in at this stage of the Bonding.
Grathkin: Exclaimation Point! - the species datbase entry for the Grathkin will be up within a couple of days.
Familiars: The Dead Shall Rise Again
Assorted Creatures: In Royal Dreams – This is a Short Bonding, so it will only be up until the 10th of April. Get in while you can!

Adventures
The Heroes of the Iron Door have not only uncovered a new race, the Sithkin, that live under the ground, but Tide's lost companion, Charlie Biscuit, has been revived, revealing a New Creature Species to the world – the Nadur! (yes, a bonding for them will follow soon – I already have it planned lol!)

Events
With the Easter Egg and St. Patrick's Day Events wrapped, there are no new events up at this time.

Site Developments
A new section of the forums has been opened, the Creative Writing corner. This is a place to post stories about your character, either their present times on Teragaia or things from their past and the places they came from. Naturally, all Site Rules apply for these stories (don't want any unnecessary issues with Zetaboards, now do we?).

Also, we have the return of the Writing Challenges! Yay! For those who may not be aware of what this is, this is a challenge set by Heron. You have lists of words that you complete by using them in IC (In Character) posts with proper word count at least level of the challenge, and are awarded BP when the list is complete. An OOC note at the bottom of the post should include the Word Count, which list you are using, and the word itself, which also should be in Bold somewhere in the post. For an example, here's mine thus far: Raf's Word Challenge. If you note, the ones I have completed are crossed out, and have a linked reference for the post next to them for verification. Also helpful for this is the Word Count, located in the upper right -hand corner of each post.

There is also the Grab Bag Challenge. Slightly more difficult than the regular Writing Challenge, you choose one of two lists to complete, and are rewarded with 4 Star's Worth of Creatures of your choosing should you actually pull it off!

So if you're feeling up to the Challenge, get to typing! You only have until July 26th to get all the lists completed!

Well, that wraps up another Sundered Weyr News! See you next month!

Hi! You may not know me – or you might – but I'm Myr! I know it's not normally that I'd pop up like this, but you all look like a nice bunch of people. And today – April Fool's – is one of my FAVORITE days of the year! Why? Because I like tricks and games (the nice ones that make people laugh, not the mean kind). And I like encourating others to make those around them smile and laugh too. So I have a deal for you: Post in the Smile Thread, and all posts with an April 1st date will count towards a Reward! For each post I see, I'll give the poster 1 Shop Coin! So, will you play the Fool with me?

A small edit to the Sidebar Layout. Please note the Contests section, with Cassandra's Caption Contest and a link to the former Daily Riddle, now renamed the Haven Enigma! Challenge!

Annoucement!

You asked, we debated, and the suggestion has been taken to heart! Heron, Owl, and I have finally gotten our Is dotted and the Ts crossed, and now the Adoption Center is up and running! ((thank you to Cassandra for the suggestion, and for everyone who got involved in the discussion!)

Now, there are a few rules to be followed, though I will try to explain them here, and they are listed in the Adoption Center thread itself.

First off, the Adoption Center functions much like Kalatis' Shop: You start a new thread there, with the name of the creature you're looking to adopt from the list also pinned in the thread. An admin will reply noting the adoption, and BP will be taken from your tally accordingly. You must have at least 10 IC posts to Adopt a creature, and there is a small BP cost.

Now, Dragons and Familiars, due to the nature of their species, cannot be put up for adoption. But all other current creatures can be. Any changes to this will be posted in the Adoption Center guidelines.

To put up a creature for adoption, simply fill out the form in the Adoption Center rules and PM it to an admin. You must have at least 25 IC posts to put up for adoption, and must have had the creature bonded to you for at least two weeks. The person putting the creature up for adoption as well as the original creator of the creature, if it was received in a Bonding, get a small BP sum.

We have also incorporated a related concept, that of transferring shinies between two characters run by the same player (IE, Raferties to Anari). These transfers are much simpler: just PM an admin letting them know of the desire to transfer. No BP is needed for such. However, Dragons and Familiars obtained via a bonding cannot transfer. Ones obtained from the Shrine or given as prizes (bought, as it were) may be transferred in a fashion: The original creature will be lost, and a new creature made of the same rank and species. Details like gender, form, mottle/pureblood, and such do not need to stay the same.

Lastly, the Library has been opened as well, for both written works and works of art. You may post fanfiction, original stories, and stories related to your Sundered characters there, though only the ones related to your characters here on Sundered will count towards your IC post count. Before you post, however, please read and understand the Guidelines listed in the Library section. This is to ensure that everyone has fun with this.

As always, if there are any questions about any of this, please feel free to PM any admin and we will happily help!
