Announcements and Feedback
🦊 If you're looking for a winter wonderland in your December, look no further than Wintermute: it's being kind right around now and giving the people what they ask. Snow that isn't murderous or dangerous, that's the right packing for a snowball fight, sled dog race, or building an igloo.
🦊 It is also cold in Willow this time of year, though there is only ever a faint dusting of snow. More frequently is the unusual Folkmore prismatic rain–it's like freezing rain, except that small crystalline prisms (which are nonetheless still apparently made of water and melt when they hit any kind of animal including Star Children) are falling from the sky instead and catching light to project tiny rainbows everywhere instead.
🦊 Talaria's weather continues to support the rebuilding effort, and is nicely mild. The clouds are a little unusual, though: Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds are being generated by the various extremes found around Folkmore.
🦊 Enchantments are now available to be purchased with spoons!
Read more about enchantments here.
Enchantments are magical enhancements to items Star Children already own, and are available at simple (75 spoons), intermediate (150 spoons), and advanced (300 spoons) levels. In general, enchantments will improve items in a way that would match the abilities of items of the same spoon cost. If you'd like to purchase an enchantment, post a description of the enchantment along with the item it's intended for. Mods will get back to you with its spoon cost. A list of approved enchantments and their cost tier will be made available/is available here. Enchantments cannot grant new powers to Star Children.🦊 The application has been changed slightly moving forward, starting with December's application cycle! We now include content warnings and sensitive subjects in a permissions section of the application itself, and we’ve revamped those questions for clarity. These questions are still on the permissions page (and the permissions template has also been updated to match). We want new players to consider these topics in the depth Folkmore has grown to place on understanding and communicating about them. If you're like some of the mod team and struggle to think of what CWs might apply or what content might require a warning, EC Editorial, Literary Lifestyle offer good resources. You can also try looking up your canon on Does the Dog Die.
🦊 The test drive is new today! That doesn't mean you can't still play in the old one, but we now have this nice shiny new one to enjoy.
