August 10, 2008: Hey everyone! Well as most of you know, the event is over and has been for a few weeks. I"m really sorry that certing and getting trades completed is taking as long as it is. I've just posted the certed pets that I created, however I haven't heard a single peep from Chiasa since the event began. I'm trying to track her down, but in the mean time i'll check and see if she stored the full-sized pets anywhere. Please be patient and bare with us. I promise your pet WILL be certed!


July 4, 2008: Hey guys! This is Chiasa, just wanted to inform everyone I am working on a big event! There will be Epona, Ursoki, AND Minions given out, raffled, auctioned and sold! So keep your eye out for it. I am planning on having it a little after July 16th. Kiwi and Tani are gonna be some featured guest colorists too!

March 10, 2008: Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Chiasa and I are going to be holding a FLATSALE later this week. There will be 6 epona available. 3 Male, 3 Female. The flatsale will be held on Thursday, March 13th. The specific time has yet to be decided.


March 07, 2008: Yay more updates!!! Alright, so Chiasa and myself are working on a wilds event. If you have any suggestions please post them in this thread (or PM them to the mule).

Secondly, All scarves are now male AND female. I've also added in a beaded bracelet for female epona. You can purchase these items in a thread we've made in the guild. (See the items post below, for the link.)

Thirdly, I've opened up a breeding raffle. This will end on March 10th. You DON'T have to rp to get a slot. Any couples interested, please PM the mule. Make sure both parties involved have given their okay. (You can do this by having the second person involved, post in this thread, or PM the mule saying they are fine with it). There is only one slot, so if we only get one couple, it will automatically go to them. If we get more than one couple, on March 10th we will do a raffle of sorts to find out who wins. Please note the breeding itself is not free. See the breeding post to find the cost of everything. (Also, this breeding slot is NOT the one that is already filled. The slot in question, is #2)

Lastly, Happy B-lated birtday to our wonderful shop co-owner, Chiasa!! <3 We love you!

General
1. Listen to the shop owners/staff.
2. No stealing anything.
3. Follow the gaian TOS
4. Please refrain from posting in StIcKy CaPs, Invisible Talk, n00b Speak, or anything un-readable.
5. No begging. This will get you on the "disliked" list pretty fast if you're caught begging in our thread. (Whether it's for an Epona, other species, or a gaian item).
6. No Advertising! This is a huge nono in this thread, as well as in most of gaia. Unless you have Collareds direct permission to post some form of advertisement in this thread, then just assume it's not okay.
7. If you have any questions, please post them in the thread. If their more of a serious/personal question, then you may proceed to PM the mule (or collared herself).
8. All trades go to the mule, [KoL] Chara. Unless otherwise stated of course.
9. Have some common sense.
10. Do NOT discourage others from participating in an event, I don't care how many pets they own from this shop.


Roleplaying
1. Roleplaying isn't required, but it's highly regarded
2. No Godmodding. That means, unfairly making yourself a higher authority on anything in the RP. It includes (but is not limited to) blatantly saying that a certain character that isn't yours must do or say something particular. Making your pet "invincible" or giving them attributes they do not have.
3. We want everyone to be kind, courteous, open, inviting, constructive, and content. We expect all RPers to be respected, whether they are regular RPers or not. We don't want any mudslinging or clique forming. However, that does not mean you can't have private RPs. And you are welcome to RP with your friends. But also try and make opportunities for others to join you as well. Be selective in your decisions and try and give as much balance as possible.
4. Please use literate, full sentences, free of chatspeak, etc. We're not going to be super picky here, but we like to read your RP just as much as you like RPing it. So please make sure it is clear as possible. You don't have to spell everything correctly, or anything along those lines. We just simply ask for quality enough to be enjoyed by all.

"Welcome to Lenyia young travelers. My name is Chara and I am the kingdom's personal librarian/historian. I know everything there is to know about Lenyia, its people, and the creatures within its walls. That is why the king has asked me to show you around, so you can feel more comfortable as you settle in to our kingdom.

To start. I'll go over some of the history. The king became the ruler of Lenyia around 50 years ago. At the time the king was in his early 20's, and was one of the local villagers. On the day his entire world would change, Áedán was outside cutting some wood for his fireplace. As he gathered the bundle up into his arms, and started walking back home, he noticed a strange woman walking towards the castle. Something about her made him feel nervous, so putting the wood down, he followed slowly behind. As she neared the castle doors, she was stopped and told she wasn't allowed to be here, that the King wouldn't stand for her games. Before Áedán could even take a step closer, the soldiers were laying dead on the ground. The woman had killed them with some sort of dark magic. Then she barged through the castle doors, and continued into the throne room, where the King was sitting.

Áedán picked up a sword from one of the dead soldiers, and continued to follow quietly behind. As he neared the room everyone was in, he heard the king scream "You can tell your queen she will NEVER get this land! Not without killing me first!" A series of loud crashes came from the room, followed by dead silence. Áedán peaked through the slightly opened doors, and saw the king lying motionless on the ground. Without a second thought, he ran into the room, holding the sword up as he charged towards the woman. Before she had a chance to react, he had plunged the sword straight through her mid section. As she fell backwards, a slew of guards entered the room. They noticed the king lying on the floor, and immediately ran to him. When they realized he was dead, they looked over to the woman and then up at Áedán. The head guard rose and removed his helmet. Bowing slightly, the guard asked him to wait there, then left.

A few moments later, he returned with a woman at his side, the queen. As she quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and composed herself, she beckoned Áedán over. Thanking him for avenging the king's death, she then said that because they had never been able to produce an heir to the throne, she wanted to award him for his heroic acts by making him the new king. It would be what the king wanted. The following day, the royal burial took place, followed by the initiation of King Áedán.

Now in the ripe old age of 72, the king has accomplished many things for Lenyia. The expansion of the kingdom's boundaries and building 3 more small villages for his people, to name a few. Which brings us to our next topic!" Chara picked up a rolled up piece of parchment. Inside was a map of Lenyia. Just as she was about to start talking about the villages, she was interrupted.

"That's all?! You aren't going to explain about how he gave those magnificent animals you see roaming around the land shelter from the evil queen of Tondaya?" Bláithín asked sharply.

"I am, I just haven't gotten to it. Be patient Bláithín! Now hush and let me continue..." Chara took a deep breath, then turned back to the group of travelers.

"As I was saying, there are 5 major parts that make up Lenyia. The first is the castle, of course. Second, the city that surrounds the castle, and the last three are the smaller villages.

While the castle doesn't really need explanation, I will tell you a little bit about the rest.

First we have the city which surrounds the castle, called Elaia. Here you can find all of the local merchants, inns, pubs and my favorite, the kingdom's library. Anyone who lives here, usually owns one of the shops, or is one of the 'upper class'.

Then we have the three smaller villages. Their names are Genei, Vilecura and Kelidar. Most of the people who live here, the farmers and other villagers, are -- Well, I'm not going to say they're "lower class" because I don't honestly believe they are. The people who live in these towns are all very sweet and while their homes aren't as luxurious as those in Elaia, they're still very cozy and nice. In fact, while I work in Elaia at the library, I choose to live in my own little home in Genei." Chara had opened the map to show everyone where each town was located, indicating as she described the places, then passed out smaller versions of the map, so everyone wouldn't get lost.

"Now then, we can move on to the animals that Bláithín was speaking of earlier" Chara put the map away, then got up. "Follow me" She led them to a nearby meadow, where there were some animals grazing. "At the moment we only have one species of animals, they're called Epona. These animals are very friendly, and can speak telepathically to the local villagers. Bláithín is the Epona's official caretaker. She watches over them, makes sure they aren't hurt or sick, and keeps them from wandering off into the unknown." Chara began to pet one of her own Epona, then she looked up into the sky and noticed the setting sun. "Well, I think this concludes our tour. If you want to learn more about the towns, or who that evil woman was, then please stop by the local library! If you have no place to stay for the night, I'm sure the inn at Elaia has enough beds for you. Once again, Welcome to Lenyia!" Chara smiled at everyone then began to walk away.

"Oh! And if you ever want to learn more about Epona, please stop by and talk to me! I'm usually
in the meadows, or you can find me at my home in Kelidar!" Bláithín then rushed over to Chara's side and the two began walking back to their respective villages.


*Please note this story is still under construction. We have yet to add in the minions and Ursoki.*

Epona were the first animals that the King brought to Lenyia. As you can tell, they're very beautiful creatures. Each with a personality of their own. It's been said that they have magical powers, the most well known would be telepahthy, which is how they communicate with eachother, as well as humans. Epona start out with the usual baby stage, then they grow into their teen stage. It's at this stage that it's hard to tell the genders apart, since both male and female look a like. Once they're adults, they may mate with other epona of either sex. Height wise, an adult Epona is just a little shorter than your average horse.

{Minions}
User Image

While the King was out visiting a nearby Kingdom, he had come across these strange creatures. At first he was under the impression that they were evil minions from the Kingdom of Tondaya. However, after having some of his top researchers find out more about them, he found out that they were nothing of the sort. These creatures merely look evil, but they have hearts of gold. (Though, some can get a bit mischeivious). Before the King had departed so he could travel back to Lenyia, the creatures begged to be able to come back and live safely within the walls of his Kingdom. Having the kind heart that he does, the King couldn't turn them down. Now that they are apart of the population here, the King has decided they're species name will be "Minions". Seeing as how he feels it's what fits them best. They only have two stages in life. Baby and Adult.

If you can't afford, or simply don't wish to pay the custom prices, then you can always try a pet trade. *Note that in order to do this, you MUST own a B/C pet shop* If a pet trade has peaked your interest, then please continue reading.

~{Pet Trade Info}~


•A pet trade, is when an individual offers to make a custom pet, in exchange for a custom pet from the other person. (EX: If I offered to do a pet trade with Andi's shop, and she accepted. Then we'd each fill out a custom form for eachothers shop, and then proceed to make the others pet). There isn't any exchange of money, just art work.

•You must own a B/C pet shop, or you may be a colorist at someone's B/C shop. However, if you're just a colorist, make sure you have the owners permission to do a pet trade first.

•Only fulltime colorists are allowed to do pet trades from this shop. So make sure you know whether or not the colorist you want here, is a guest or a fulltime.

•All pet trades must go through Collared Kitten before they can be accepted/declined. (Unless there is a special event going on, and she doesn't want any kind of custom being made, then this really shouldn't be a problem)

•If your shop is RP manditory, then we hope that you will make an exception for the colorists here. Seeing as how most have shops of their own, and they're a fulltime here. Needless to say, they can get rather busy.

•Make sure that the pet trade is fair. Don't expect to get a cosplay pet, if you're only offering a simple custom.

•Each colorist *should* have a list of shops they'll always accept a pet trade from, however, if your shop ISN'T on any of those lists don't feel discouraged. You may still ask to do a pet trade.


*Just like normal customs, please visit this thread for a list of colorists, as well as their custom status

To help keep the different species and their offspring organized, the King has decided that in order for your pet to breed, you must first wait for a special "breeding event" to take place, then bring in your pet's certificates and "register" them for the breeding. Once the deadline is met, the King will have Bláithín randomly choose who will be able to breed, and who won't. To put it simply, breeding events are your basic raffle. However, tickets are free. (You only pay if you're chosen).


~{Rules}~
1.) You cannot breed two different species together.
2.) A "couple" must consist of 2 pets of the same species, and they CANNOT be from the same owner.
3.) Tickets are free, however if you win a breeding slot you MUST pay the breeding fee.
4.) Note that lineart edits don't necissarily get passed down onto the offspring. Infact, it'll be very rare for that to happen.
5.) You don't get to choose your colorist. Instead, every breeding raffle will have a pre-chosen colorist for that batch.
6.) There is no limit to how many times your pet can breed, though this could always change in the future.
7.) To keep things fair, each couple may only claim ONE ticket per raffle.
8.) If you've won a slot in the past few breeding raffles, then please be considerate and sit out during the next raffle, just to give others a chance.


~{Info}~
Getting A Ticket: In order to obtain a ticket, you (or your pets, mates, owner @___@) must PM the mule account, and include the names of the pets, the names of the owners, and the fact that you want a ticket in the breeding raffle. Then make sure that the other person (whoever didn't PM the mule) posts their "okay" for the ticket. (After all, we don't want you to claim a ticket to breed your pet, with someone else's pet, if they don't know about it).

After that, just wait for the raffle to end and the drawing to take place. If you win a slot, then you and your friend need to send trade to the mule, with the breeding fee. (Generally you each pay half).


Offspring: Each breeding can generate 2-4 babies (if you buy a love berry, you could get up to 6). In the case that you were to get 3-4 babies, each owner can have one, and the remaining must be given away (or raffled off). In the event that you get 5-6 babies, each owner can keep up to 2, and the rest must then be given away (or raffled off).

If you choose to go the raffle route, you will get 50% of the profit generated from the raffle. Why only 50%? Well 40% will go back to the colorist of your pretty babies, and 10% then goes to the shop.


Mates: Just as a little side note, I wanted to add that you pets aren't restricted to mating with only one of their species. Meaning, they can mate with multiple partners. They also aren't restricted to just male and female. Gay/Lesbian breedings are just fine. The only real restriction, is inbreeding and 3+ pets in one breeding, and two different species breeding.

    Lenyia: Lenyia is the name of the Kingdom.

    Elaia: Elaia is the name of the city just outside of the castle. It has all of the major shops, inns, pubs, and the kingdoms library. It's a rather ritzy city, so you'll only find the "upper class" living here.

    Genei: Genei is one of three smaller villages in Lenyia. It's a couple miles southeast of Elaia.

    Vilecura: Vilecura is the biggest, out of the three 'smaller' villages. It's where the kingdom gets most of it's produce (thus why it needs to be bigger). This village is located between both Genei and Kelidar, however it's further south.

    Kelidar: Kelidar is the last, and smallest village between the three outside of Elaia. It's closer to Lenyia's beautiful meadows, which is why it's so appealing to our local pet caretaker, Bláithín.

    King Áedán: He is the current ruler of Lenyia. The king is well-known for his heroic act 50 years ago, as well as his kind heart for taking in different species of animals, so that they may be protected from the evil queen of Tondaya.

    Tondaya: This is where the evil queen rules. She is known for wanting to take over Lenyia, due to the magical qualities the land seems to possess.

    Epona: The first species King Áedán brought to Lenyia. Appearance wise, they look alot like your average horse. If you don't count the feet and horn. Epona have amazing abilities, one of which is telepathy. That is how they speak to the local villagers. The caretaker of Epona is Bláithín.

    Minions: Minions were the second species King Áedán allowed into Lenyia. They're appearance is somewhat evil looking, though they are very nice creatures. Not much is known about their past, which is why the King has his researchers looking into it. As they uncover the mysteries that surround the Minions, we will release the information to the public. But for now, this is all we know.

    Ursoki: -Info coming soon-

How do I get one?
You can obtain a pet from this shop through events such as Flatsales, Raffles and Auctions. However, if there aren't any events going on, you could also try customs/pet trades...or hoping you have a friend who has an extra from a breeding.

Can I Pweeeasse have one?
Thanks for saying please, but no...we don't generally give them away unless it's for a game. (Or the occassional free-custom to friends)

Can I be an NPC?
No, the NPC's are played by specific staff members. So unless by some rare occurance you've been granted the opportunity to play an NPC (maybe through an auction or something), we don't generally let random people be NPC's

What is an NPC?
NPC = Non Player Character. Basically, they are made up characters that are of huge importance to the story line. In this case we have 3 NPC's. Bláithín, Marius and Chara. You can read more about them in the NPC post.

Can the pets be gay?
Yes. The species do NOT have to be of different sex in order to breed.

Are they RP required?
Technically no, though if you want to breed your pet in the future, SOME RP'ing is required. The only exception to this, is if you have an NPC pet or some sort of 'special' pet. Then we would prefer that you RP. (still, it doesn't mean you have to RP a lot..just some).

Do I direct link?
If your pet isn't an adult, then yes. If it is and adult, then we'd like for you to save it to your own server. (just to save us bandwith and such)

How long does it take for the pets to grow?
There really isn't any specific amount of time. Generally we like to grow them every week or so. However, if the colorist who created your pet is busy with other things, than it might be a bit longer. Remember, patience is always a good thing. (Though, if your pet hasn't grown in a month, please inform us, so we can remind the colorist)

Do you do customs?
Yes we do, though we want to keep the customs a bit rare. We will try to open a couple slots every month or so. (However, if we're planning a custom auction, then we wont have any slots open for a while before and after).

Pet Trade?
Sure! Just post your offer in the customs thread (in the guild) and one of our staff will get back to you! (Try and include WHO you want to do the trade with though).

Do you take bribes?
I think everyone loves bribes, so yes we do. Though it can get a bit pricey. If you have a bribe for a colorist, please post your offer in the customs thread (along with your form).

What are "Terms"
Terms is a post we created where we will list the different terms you might hear in the thread RP's (or chatting), that were created specifically for this shop. It also has the names of the towns/kingdom and NPC's. It can be very usefull, so I suggest heading over there and checking it out!

Where is the owners list?
We moved the Owners list to the guild. That way we can keep it nice and clean, without it having to take up a bunch of front page space. If you go to the first post on this page, you will find the link to the owners list.


This post will continue to grow as time goes on. So please check back.
