September Event!

The land that had once been scarred by droughts and fires was made new as monsoons rolled across the terrain and ended the dry season with torrential rains and storms. New grass sprouted, trees became thick and heavy with new leaves, flowers blossomed, and new life was spread far and wide... Until a dark cloud descended on the land in a sudden swarm. This was a different kind of storm, one with wings and an insatiable appetite.
Desert locust thrived during the wet seasons with a burst of breeding activity, leading to swarms that filled the sky and nearly blotted out the sun entirely. Initially only the human lands were affected, but once the crops and other plants were devoured, the insects began heading towards the land of the lions. Their swarms induced fear into the migrating herds and drove them away in search of food as they devoured the new grasses and leaves on trees.
Killing the locust will stop them from devouring the land, bring back the migrating herds, and can help those all around you. There are some choices you can make while exploring that will affect the number of locust for the better, and there are some choices that are entirely selfish. What kind of choices will you make? What kind of lion are you?

Explore encounters should not affect karma.

Player vs Player - This is purely just a fun mini feature for you karma-hoarders and pranksters!
You can help out other players by getting rid of some locust in their dens. It's up to you if you're going to be messy about it! STOMPING is naughty, while CHASING is nice! Other players will receive information about you clearing their dens, but won't receive anything from it.
The cooldown for the locust PVP feature is 30 minutes, and rewards you with 1 Jewel Beetle and +/- 1 karma, depending on your action.

- Explore to help get rid of the plague!
- Gather Jewel Beetles!
- By working as a community, unlock the Prophet Shop in order to spend your beetles!
(Click the Jewel Beetle icon on the sidebar to quickly access the shop when it's open!)

Important Information
Due to real life events for the main artist, new content will not appear right away in the Lion Wardrobe, Item Catalogue, etc. Content will appear before tiers are unlocked. We might add extra stuff if time allows - if so, we will announce it during Friday updates!

2018 Novel
We've decided not to update the October storyline yet, as it's a huge task to finish the story of the battle between Heaven and Hell, which you all only just received an introduction for in 2017. We had our hands full with the June event rehaul, and it ended up being better to just delay an update for the October storyline for next year.
Instead, we thought this would be an awesome way to expand the September Event into a foreshadowing of what's to come in October - a way to tie events in with one another, you could say!

We've dropped many hints that September had Prophets, and the Horses of the Apocalypse would appear. This is the time! However, we realise some players prefer to keep dark fantasy stories strictly to October, as it's the month of Halloween; therefore, anything related to the September Novel will not appear in Explore or anywhere else on the site so long as you do not start the storyline quests. This way, you can enjoy the usual locust theme exclusively!

What is the Novel about?! When does it start?
Without too many spoilers, this is a short, linear, daily quest-filled story, similar to how the Wenet storyline worked. You get a day-by-day situation, a quest, and receive tokens which you can spend in the themed shop once you finish the storyline and begin the repeated daily quests. The Wiki will not be updated in advance, so you all get the joy of discovering new things on your own!
The story is short, but the daily quests have various difficulties for casual and hardcore players to choose from to fit their playstyles. It is heavily focused on Exploring, but it does contain a new way to finish some quests!

The Novel begins on Sept. 3rd after rollover. A Harbinger area will show up on the Event page; simply enter it to begin! Beware that the content is focused on a dark, creepy setting that foreshadows the battle of Heaven and Hell from the October storyline - some of the art may be quite creepy!

It is planned out in such a way that you can take a few days to finish your daily quests. We wouldn't want to screw up your progress if you're not logging in every day!

So... prepare for the Harbinger!

Awareness Statement
As September is the month that GMO Cows are released, we want to repeat our usual notification:

GMO Cows do not guarantee mutated cubs - they only raise the chance of mutated offspring significantly.
GMO Cows affect a random mutation chance, NOT the mutation-passing chance.

- Lion Meat and GMO Cows will work the same, no matter what your lioness's fertility percentage is.
- Lion Meat and GMO Cows work separately from fertility, meaning they can affect one cub on its own, and your lioness's fertility can affect another cub in the same litter in a separate way.
- Cotton Root Barks ("CRBs") will override any fertility boost or debuff.
- GMO Cows WILL override the CRB's effects, BUT it most likely will make the GMO Cow's produced mutation rarer if the CRB's effect triggers; so, they benefit each other, you could say, but only IF they both work at the same time. Each item has its own percentage-based chance to actually trigger, and they can fail.
- GMO Cows WILL override CRB's percentage-based chance and use the GMO Cow's percentage-based mutation chance, BUT the CRB may make the mutation super rare.
- Leopon's natural passing chance is completely separate from GMO Cows, and the Leopon chance will always roll first.
- Primal's natural passing chance is completely separate from GMO Cows, and the Primal chance will always roll last after all other mutation-affecting items.

The new September Event lore description was written by a talented player - thank you so much! Involving writers isn't as easy as picking up suggestions, so this is something new we've tried. <3
