Happy birthday, Vivarium! On the 29th, we'll be celebrating one full year - we couldn't have done it without you! That said, we now happily welcome Vivarium's brand new site theme, courtesy of Widow and all of her hard work; see more details here! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, and we can't wait to see what the future holds!
We would also like to congratulate the Howling Hoodlums for their formation in the Howling River! The neighbors will surely be keeping an eye on them…

Congratulations to Avon Odyssey for their formation in the Golden Glade! Unfortunately, due to its members' dispersal, Elkshire has been forced to disband. The Elk's Crown is now unclaimed, and the remnants of that great legacy are preserved in memory and our hearts.
We welcome Avon Odyssey to the Spirited Highlands and can't wait to see what they do!

A huge congratulations to Psychi Demeni for their forming within Storm Reach! We can't wait to see what they do as the newest additions to the Northern Alpines. As well, we also want to congratulate Warcrest for their formation in The Spine after their previous home in The Eye of Osiris was decimated by an unfortunate earthquake.

As the temperature rises, we say goodbye to spring and embrace those long summer nights, filled with fireflies and shooting stars. The overwhelming array of colorful blooms have settled into a lush blanket of greenery, the swarms of butterflies have also seemed to move on.

All seems well within the realm, the turn of seasons effortless as everyone remains busy with their lives, but - what was that?

The earth shakes, rumbling distantly. As if a particularly large stampede is trampling past you, yet you see no indication of the cause.

It subsides a moment later, the world still, as if it never happened. A trick of the mind, perhaps?

Interesting.

Summer has finally arrived! Vivarium is filled with warm rays of sun, singing cicadas, and skies of… gray? What’s going on? It seems our carefree, hot girl summer is taking a drastic and unexpected turn. The land is being blanketed in a dense fog of black smoke, and occasionally raining flakes of ash or ember. All reaches of Vivarium has a high likelihood of experiencing this unsettling phenomena.

We would also like to congratulate Dawnbreak for their formation at seemingly the perfect time. Welcome to the world, kids.
