The tremors that shook Vitalus have opened up a pathway leading to tunnels under the land… and the Elder has asked for your attention.
Standing amidst a throng of Reoseans and humanoids, the Elder lifts his head, commanding the attention of the crowd. His potent, yet soothing voice resonates, stirring a dance in your heart, and you can't help but wonder if the others share the same sentiment. "Children, I am grateful for your presence at this impromptu gathering; there is much that demands our attention." A momentary pause follows. "Long ago..."
The Elder's voice momentarily falters, and he clears his throat in an effort to press on. "We've all borne witness to the unusual things happening recently across our land – crystal clusters appearing more frequently, the encrusted Zataros, the crystalline quills. Reports have been coming in one after another of things we've never seen before..." Another pause ensues, and the Reoseans around you shift anxiously, exchanging worried glances.
"I won't delve into the intricacies of the past; suffice it to say, it has been a lifetime, and I now suspect that which was lost may now be on the brink of recovery. I implore you to seek any clues, follow the crystals into the depths, and return to me with your findings."
As the hushed murmurs subside, you observe Reoseans hastening to pack their belongings, their anticipation thick in the air as they prepare to venture into the unknown, anticipating what could be lurking underneath the crust of Vitalus.

departure for answers
You pack sparse bags with necessities, unsure how long or rigorous this journey will be. In the middle of tying off the leather satchel, you feel a presence at your side and look up-- into Merah's smiling face.
|
"I'm curious about all this," he remarks, a subtle bounce in his step. The red runner never seems to stop moving, never sheds his air of lightheartedness; were you not aware of his history, you'd never guess it was one that had shaped Reos' current society. He just seems so... unbothered about everything. "We've never seen the Elder like this; he seems rather... haunted, yeah?"
You find yourself nodding in agreement. The great dragon's eyes carried a weight of sorrow as he addressed the crowd, and there were definitely things that he was leaving veiled. You can't quite imagine outright asking him though, so you'll have to settle with hoping the task he's given will provide some answers. "Ready?" |
fateful encounter
You enter Vitalus within days, paws tired, but you press on until finally you stand before a large opening at the base of the mount that the Silver Province stands on. There lies fresh greenery crushed beneath the stones; this rockfall is fresh. Merah remains at your side as you venture inward into the dark.
|
As you and Merah delve deeper into the caverns, the air becomes thick with dampness, and an ancient, unfamiliar scent fills your nostrils. The darkness is oppressive, swallowing any hint of light you try to conjure. Merah emits a subtle glow, providing a small radius of visibility around him - at least enough to keep the pair of you from tripping. Up ahead, you can see patches of light though-- and you hear water.
The sound of echoing footsteps resonates through the cavern and you both halt, exchanging wary glances. In the shadows you can make out the barest outline of a creature- long bodied with a slender neck. Merah's light reflects off of the being's eyes, and they glow back eerily as it studies you, motionless for a moment. |
|
Finally, it steps into one of the patches of light-- and you take a step back, eyes widening. Its face, shaped much like yours, carries an air of wisdom and mystery, but it's its body that catches you off guard. Instead of the familiar Reosean structure, it has a unique form-- perhaps shaped to accommodate this underground prison?
a plea for aid
Merah, perpetually curious, is the first to speak. "Well, this is quite the sight! I--" He cuts him off though, looking at the pair of you curiously.
|
"Surface dwellers..." he breathes, awe touching his voice as he studies you. He steps forward, long toes grasping the rocks with ease.
The two of you exchange glances, realizing that this creature isn't a chance encounter but possibly a key to the your task. After a moment, you find your voice. "We're seeking clues, guidance-- anything that can help us understand the recent anomalies on the surface. The Vitalus' Elder, believes there might be a connection... here." He looks around, unconvinced. This seems to snap him out of his shock, and he nods, his features shifting, conveying a mix of contemplation and ancient knowledge. "They told us this day would come. I am called Cailu." |
They? Of course, there must be more than just him. "I must take you to her, then. But you must show your worth, though we have to take care, for there is unease brewing here. Follow me; there is much to discuss."
With Cailu as your guide, you venture further into the depths of the caverns, your eyes adjusting to the play of light and shadow on the crystalline walls. Little do you know, the encounter with this being - a Haedian - marks the beginning of a journey that will unravel secrets long buried in the heart of Reos.

Above are additional lore tidbits for the event. It is not required to reference or mention these in your entries as they may not fit your character's personality, but will give you a better understanding of the environment you'll be entering and your task going forward. They dooo have some fancy art in them though...

Your journey will have you search the deep underground realm known as The Beneath and make contact with new Reoseans, attempting to befriend and aid them as the story unfolds. Each month you will be able to explore a new clan’s culture and experience the ways of the Haedians, a mysterious race found underneath the land of Vitalus.

Each of the nine Haedian clans has its own individual deadline, which can be seen underneath their cards!

♦ Entries must follow the prompt, and backgrounds and settings should match that of the prompt. The undergrounds of Vitalus are filled with crystals, other inspiration you can find HERE.
♦ Art entries must at minimum be a coloured fullbody with a background, at least 500x500 in size. 75% of the participating Reosean must be visible. Art must have some effort put into it- it will be compared to the rest of your gallery.

|
♦ Backgrounds should have at least separate 3 elements in them aside from the ground/sky. Clustered elements of the same type (such as many rocks stacked together) count as 1 element.
-- Correct Elements: Rocks, foliage, water, mountains, clouds, trees, etc -- Incorrect Elements: Sun, moons, grass, ground, sky -- These elements should have some depth and texture to them - meaning they need some (subtle) form of shading at the minimum- flat grey blobs will not be accepted for rocks, flat brown lines will not be accepted for trees, etc. See the example to the right! -- Brushes and textures are allowed, but if these are used as elements they must still follow the depth and texture rules above! |
|
♦ Reoseans should follow the laws of gravity; no floating reoseans just to fit extras into the image.
♦ Reosean markings need to be recognizably placed and shaped in comparison to where they are on the vayron's import (ex. randomly placed blobs for merle will not be accepted, they don't have to be perfect but they should be in a similar size and shape to those on the import).
♦ 'Stick Figures' will not be accepted, some amount of muscle or joint definition should be visible. Reoseans must also at least have their core features visible, such as Eyes, Mouth, Paws, Markings and their identifiable traits (tail and ears)

♦ To redeem the 3CP bonus, the entry must be submitted and approved between February 5th - December 2nd and that submission link has to be linked in the tracker. This ensures that the only pieces redeeming that +3 bonus are pieces made specifically for this event. If you have multiple Reoseans in the same image you can link them all in the same comment vs posting individual comments for them for example!
♦ You may repeat prompts, however, each reosean will only be able to do any given prompt once. (ex. You could do prompt 1 with Reosean A and then again with Reosean B, but you could not do prompt 1 with Reosean A twice).
♦ Up to 3 reoseans are allowed per entry. You may include as many starters or NPCs as you like if you are not entering with them.
♦ To keep it simple, you cannot 'only enter for prize 2' or 'only enter for lootboxes'. We want to create less work for you and less work for us to track every entry and the tickets. If you enter and you win the clan's pre-designed Haedian, but you didn't want it, you may always gift/trade/sell it to one of the other contestants for example. For this event there is no CP only entries.

Feb 5th - March 3rd: THE FORGOTTEN - Active
The Forgotten Clan
Thrust out of their original clans, the Forgotten are forced into the darkest and most uncomfortable caves in the underground. They lack resources, and light and are the poorest members of the Haedian species. Many try to get back at their old clans by stealing from them or outright making trouble.
The Forgotten must steal to survive, whether it be food or structures, they are fighting for their lives against the darkness and what it may bring to their minds.
------
In order to gain favor of this clan you must be willing to lose favor elsewhere. Help the Forgotten steal valuable resources from other clans or help the younger ones play pranks as a distraction. More than any other clan, they will be difficult to help but easy to impress.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean taking part in the varying crimes and pranks that the Forgotten may hold. This could be stealing building materials, pranking another Haedian, or perhaps causing a distraction to allow for others to run in!
You will get a follow up prompt in your accepted submission's reply!

MAR 4th - Mar 31st: The Brutes - Active
The Brutes Clan
Making up the bulk of the Haedian’s general laborers, this clan lives and dies by the sweat of a long day and a job well done. However, underneath their rugged exterior, there lies a deep-seated resentment towards the gods who seem to turn a blind eye to their struggles and hardships.
Often seen as aggressive in manner. Brutes have a wide range of ideas from warrior-minded people to those who just want to work hard and be rewarded for their efforts. Because of the negative stigma of their clan, other clans are known to avoid them as much as possible.
------
True to their name, the Brutes care much about strength. Not for the reasons other clans may think though, the Brutes are hard workers - often doing the majority of the heavy-duty work around the caverns. They often hold competitions of strength to elect their leaders and determine who may be fit to lead them
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean partaking in a free-for-all trial of combat. Each contestant is tasked with gathering golden rocks, you may be a warrior to fight tooth and nail for your prizes, or maybe you sneakily take a few from another. The winner will be decided by who has the most golden rocks at the end of the timer.
You will get a follow up prompt in your accepted submission's reply!

APR 29TH - MAY 26TH: the druids - active
The Druids Clan
The Lovers of the Grove, known as the Druids, are a reclusive forest clan with an unparalleled understanding of the natural world. They have a deep respect for the delicate ecosystem of the forest and are hesitant to share their supplies with other clans who do not show the same level of respect. Over time, this has caused them to distance themselves from the other clans.
Their leader and higher-ups possess mentalist magic that allows them to communicate with plants and animals, gaining a general understanding of their emotions and needs, and as such, forming deep connections with them.
------
Communication with all animals and plants is the main key to Druid’s goals. They seek to understand these beings both to understand the world around them and how they may assist their Matriarch. Due to their reclusive nature, they are not quick to trust, finding ways to impress them is no simple task.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean attempting to make peace with the Druids by connecting with like interests. You could tend to plants, maybe assist an injured animal, or keep away any pest that might try and harm the innocent life that grows amongst the Druid.
You will get a follow up prompt in your accepted submission's reply!

MAY 27TH - JUNE 23RD: the watchers - active
The Watchers Clan
In the lofty treetops and winding tunnels of the cavernous forest that the Druids call home, the Watchers reside, cloaked in an air of mystique and seclusion. Their arboreal abode is seldom visited by other clans, for they are regarded as aloof and enigmatic.
Despite their rumored aggression and eerie demeanor, the Watchers are simply a clan that values solitude and shuns outsiders in their territory.
Their proximity to the surface and their ability to soar through the air on wings makes them somewhat haughty in nature, but they remain steadfast in their loyalty to the Matriarch.
------
Solitude often lends some prejudice against this clan, but they don’t seem to be too bothered by it. Most of the Watchers are very observant so they aren’t likely to believe strangers' words without action. They hide along pathways they’ve carved out, jumping from platform to platform. Beating them at their own game seems to be the best way to earn their respect.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean in a contest of leaping through the cave’s pathways. Tyrians may fly, but find issues with the tight tunnels and low visibility. Vayrons may perhaps hitch a ride from a Haedian and help guide them through the course. However you choose to take this path, it is important to impress these careful listeners.

JUNE 24TH - JULY 21ST: the depthstriders - active
The Depthstriders Clan
The Depthstriders, as they are known, are a jovial and whimsical people, embracing kindness and benevolence. Their enthusiasm for harmony amongst the clans sometimes borders on the insistent.
Adapted to life in the depths, their skin must remain hydrated to prevent drying and cracking. Dark color schemes are common among their population. They possess movement as fluid, and graceful as a manta ray, and their exceptional lung capacity and keen night vision enable them to explore the submerged passages with ease.
Utilizing their aquatic adaptations, the Depthstriders traverse the flooded system, "fishing" for crystals that grow in the depths, beyond the reach of any other clan.
------
The quickest Haedians are often not measured by their ability to crawl along the cave floors, but rather just get from one place to another quickly. There is no tribe more adept at this than the Depthstriders who often use their graceful swimming ability for play. They are always up for a good game or challenge.
Upon entering a cavern adorned with a range of colorful bioluminescent flora, you hear the splashing of water nearby. The lights of the flora wave in motion with the splash and as you look into the water below a friendly face pops out at you. The scaled blue Haedian introduces himself as Ornaax, the leader of the Depthstriders.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean entering the water, with Ornaax as he assists you to the heart of their home. You could be swimming through a plentiful coral reef or perhaps see other Depthstriders playing tag throughout the flora.
You will get a follow up prompt in your accepted submission's reply!

JULY 22ND - AUG 18TH: the keepers - active
The Keepers Clan
The Keepers of the Crystal Mind are the guardians of knowledge, meticulous scholars, and storytellers who document every event happening in the depths of the Beneath, hidden deep within the cavernous system of Vitalus.
They have records of every living organism's care and mannerisms, documenting notable Haedians in their history, and are historians themselves. Knowledge, to them, is the most potent weapon, and it has kept their clan alive even in times of war amidst the Haedians.
Under the wise and far-reaching rule of the Matriarch, their knowledge has grown, and they have risen to become one of the most esteemed clans in the Hierarchy. Their records and information are not kept in mundane books or scrolls, but rather, are magically engraved in stones and crystals, preserving their knowledge for eternity.
------
As the Keepers of the Crystal Mind follow and record every happening, there is little they do not know of the land beneath. However, information about the world above is scarce and unreliable. They know of the Matriarch’s hatred for the topside and are not often able to find ‘unbiased’ sources of the happenings above.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or Write your Reosean bringing information of the Topside to the leader of the Crystal Mind. This can be anything from illustratively describing the process of a water cycle, creating a system for transport across Vitalus’s island, or even using a display of magic to explain what you may think the Keepers would like to store into their libraries.

AUG 19TH - SEP 29TH: the order - active
The Order Clan
The Order, also known as the Crystal Guard, is a battle-centric religious sect of the Haedian people. They hold themselves in high esteem, believing it to be their divinely appointed duty to maintain order within the underground realm.
Though they claim to speak on behalf of the Matriarch, their true intentions are not so selfless.
They are driven by their own ambitions and desires, seeking to establish themselves as leaders in the imminent vacuum of power that they anticipate will be left by the passing of their beloved Matriarch.
These fanatics are consumed by their devotion to their cause and will stop at nothing to ensure their dominance over their kin.
------
The air is heavy when you enter the territory of The Order, and it sets you immediately on edge-- it's not cool or fresh like the laden air of a rainy forest, nor is it dusty like the parchment filled air was in the Keeper's area; it's a harsh, anxiety inducing mix of both. You know immediately that this place has an undertone that is not... good, but you cant put your finger on it.
Once they've escorted you near enough and you enter, The Keepers sink back quickly. You're not left alone even a moment before a group of stern faced Haedians descends upon you, many of their faces weathered with age. They wear chains of blackened, oxidized iron, the acrid scent of which buries itself in your nose.
"Do you walk in the shadow of Oris?" one asks you, his eyes sunken and watery as he references one of the old gods.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your Reosean reacting to this Elder's question. Do they worship this god? Do they scoff? You could depict the actual reaction, or a scene that shows it (them worshiping, for example).
You will get a follow up prompt in your accepted submission's reply!

SEP 30TH - OCT 21st: the caregivers - ACTIVE
The Caregivers Clan
“We have but one goal and that is to devote our lives to the care of our esteemed mother. Chosen by the gods, she must be preserved.”
–
The Caregivers are not a clan in the same sense as the others, but rather consist mostly of the immediate family of the Matriarch. All of these Haedians are related to her in one way or another, whether their great grand uncle was one of the Matriarch’s sons or if they bonded into the family. The Caregivers hold an unbreakable devotion to the Matriarch, and their standing within the society is determined by their proximity to her. Of course, the Matriarch too has her favorites within this group, and they are deemed of higher standing than the others too.
Also found within the Caregiver's ranks are a small group of solely female Haedians. These individuals, offered up by their families at a young age in exchange for favor, are solely responsible for the direct care of the Matriarch. They are restricted from taking mates or bearing pups, to reserve their entire devotion for their Queen. These Haedians are the only ones within the Caregiver's clan that are not required to be related the queen in some way.
Their duties are many and varied, and they fulfill them with unwavering commitment. The Caregivers are the liaisons between the Matriarch and the Crystal Guard, and their role in maintaining the delicate balance of power within the clans cannot be overstated. They are held in the highest esteem, and to gain their favor or acceptance is a task that is nigh impossible. The Caregivers are the heart and soul of the Haedian society, and their loyalty to the Matriarch is unshakeable. They are the most paramount of clans and- needless to say- impossible to curry favor or to penetrate their number.
------
You take a breath as you're led from the Order's domain, happy to be away from them. The Haedians ahead of you say little, so you resort to merely observing what you can.
In the final test of trust, your Reosean is presented to a group of female Haedians in the Caregiver's territory who call themselves the Handmaids. These Haedians are of the highest ranks among their peers, the ones who directly look after the Matriarch. They are overseen by The Governess-- the Haedian who rescued you from The Order. Before you can meet The Matriarch though, you must prove that you are really the good soul these Haedians hope you to be.
In the sacred sanctuary of the Caregivers, you encounter a deep, reflective pool, encrusted with crystals that shimmer like stardust, whispering the truth of your character. Its still waters mirror not just your physical form, but the very essence of your being—a portal of introspection. The Caregivers seek true empathy and self-awareness from those who enter the pool. Only when you accept your essence and show genuine kindness to your reflection shall you be granted an audience with the revered Matriarch.
You will wade into the still waters, where you will float, baring your soul to its depths. Witness your past actions and choices, understanding the impact they've had on others. Embrace your strengths and acknowledge your imperfections with compassion.
You're given a Codex Page to help you along in your journey. View it here.
PROMPT 1:
Draw or write your character beginning this soul-searching journey—a profound exploration of your virtues and empathy. You can merely depict them in the crystal laden cavern, or perhaps entering or floating in the pool. Get comfortable, you'll be here for a while.
