INTRODUCTION

This event is art based, meaning participants will need to draw pictures according to the prompts and themes given in each stage, and submit them to our special gallery for this event! There are three stages that last one week each, with prizes given out at the end. Refer to each stage chat as they appear for current prompt info.

You’ve traveled far and wide across the hot, dry, pink Salted Sea with your fellow band of Cinnas, eager to lay eyes on the mecca of Cinnvilisation, food lovers, traders, and Cinna culture for the first time.

Cyzzyrryn, The Titanic Bone City, is revered as a sacred place that was once guarded by a clan of knights spanning generations. They protected it from griefers, theives, and natural harm until making peace with the outside world and allowing it to become a center for life, trade, and spirituality. It gets its namesake from the god Cyzzyzzyphyz, as it is thought the grand structure is a fallen godpiece that fell to the earth millenia ago in a great sky battle.

ou do not come here without a goal in mind, however. You and your group have come here seeking answers to clues to whispers spoken of ancient artifacts and treasure buried beneath the colossus. Seek out knowledgeable Cinnas, and find the answers!

[+] Apologies for the inconsistencies with two prominent names, these should be the final iterations [Cyzzyzzyphyz, Cyzzyrryn]

[+] Cyzzyrryn: sizz • e • rinn
[+] Cyzzyzzyphyz: sizz • izz • ih • fizz

STAGES

Each stage lasts one week, all submissions count towards the goal as a group effort. Prompts for previous stages will be accepted in any stage.

STAGE I - 5/15-5/22
STAGE II - 5/23-5/30
STAGE III - 5/31-6/7

🌀 REWARD TIERS

These tiers stretch the entire event and each piece submitted counts as 1. All items will be given out at the end of the event [6/7] via Cinnaverse. There is NO RUSH to fill these tiers before the end of the event. Prompts will be accepted at any stage, if you’d rather wait for different themes or return to earlier ones, thats totally fine! Pieces will be counted at the end of each stage.

• 35 pieces [ 1x Cinna MYO[+], 1x Chaosmite Egg, 1x Rarity Rune Bundle [3 Runes], 1x Cinnapet MYO]
• 65 pieces [1x Cinnabunny MYO, 1x Rarity Rune Bundle, 1x Chaosmite Egg, ???]
• 75 pieces [1x Cinna MYO, 3x flavor tickets, 1x Chaosmite Egg]

• 150 pieces [1x Dragon Egg, 3x Golden Mead [Legendary Trait], 1x Chaosmite Egg]

• [+] Cinna MYO is a myo slot that allows you to choose between one of the four common species [dog, cat, teacup, munchkin]

The tiers are not individual goals, every piece submitted as a collective counts towards reward tiers! You only need to participate one time to be eligible for all tiers.

Let us know if you feel these rewards are unbalanced, we’re happy to review!

VIEW SUBMISSION

🌀 STAGE I

Your Cinnas make their way into the bustling world famous Grand Marketplace, which spans almost the entire titanic city. Along the pristine Skyline River that runs from the north to the south are thousands of Cinnas from all walks, food smells filling the air, and people busily exploring and working. You see vendors selling delightful food, desert clothing, tail accessories, cinnapets and their materials, and even blocks of ice said to be from the Freezerburn region.

Massive swaths of tent canvas the bones as if it were a delicate skin, protecting those within from the sun. Multicolored flags strewn like spiderwebs miles in the air, connecting to ribs and billowing in the wind. One wonders how they were placed so high. Hand carved homes and storefronts from rock and the bone city walls itself are one of the most prominent features of Cyzzyrryn, truly an oasis in the Salted Sea.  

Accepted Art Prompts [shading, multiple characters, background elements welcome but not required]

• Draw a Cinna experiencing the grand city of Cyzzyrryn for the first time, whether its looking out at it from a vista or among its bustling market.
• Draw a Cinna obtaining knowledge of an ancient digsite, whether from maps traded for in the shops, talking to archeologists, or getting shady tips. Feel free to create your own NPCs.
• Draw a Chaosmite exploring the city itself or the surrounding desert, with the city skyline in view.

MAY BANNER

This month's banner was an admin collab! Totally not because we forgot to raffle again... what makes you think that... 

Wonderfly done by poejangles nerdymacandcheese Coffeebara darkvvision!

We'll start the raffle shortly for next month's banner artists! 

PROMPTS AND CINNA OF THE MONTH

The MYO and rarity prompts have been updated for May! We can't wait to see what you create this month!

Next, we'd like to take a moment to re-introduce and expound upon the Monthly Theme Prompt! This art prompt allows you to design a Cinna based on a theme, which changes monthly. A winner is chosen in the next monthly update, after which that Cinna becomes official! It's another fun way to potentially get a cute Cinna for free just for being engaged with the art prompts!

(If you were a winner from a previous month and have not had your Cinna made official, let us know! Fill out this prompt on the site.) 

The winning Cinna will be crowned Cinna of the Month and go in a special public showcase! This Cinna can be drawn for the Rarity Prompt alongside the NPCs. 🌸

LAST MONTH FOR CINNABUNNIES

May is the last month for Cinnabunnies! 🥺

It's always bittersweet to see them go! Be sure to stock up on Cinnabunny MYOs and get any custom orders in before our tiny friends hop along and hide out for another year! 

ITEMS, ASSETS + MYO SLOTS (Oh My!!)

For our website update this week, we have condensed a few of our defunct / obsolete items! We had multiple MYO slot items that functionally worked the same, with the exception of how they were obtained and if they were account-bound or not. The following items have all been replaced with the Universal MYO Slot item in your inventories:

- Prompt MYO

- Prompt MYO with Rare Trait

Additionally, all Dragon MYO slots are also now condensed into one item that also got a new asset: the Dragon Egg! This egg also replaced any Cinnadragon MYOs and Cinnawyvern MYOs in anyone's inventories.

 We also updated asset arts for some that still had placeholders or that we felt could use some more visual distinction. Most notably, Vintage items are now a shiny sepia tone! 

Finally, with the combining of multiple MYO slot items, we want to announce that MYO slots and rarity runes are no longer account-bound, regardless of how they were granted initially (i.e. via the Pound)! Kenna felt the restrictions made things unnecessarily complicated at times, and we were inclined to agree! 

If you have any questions about any items listed here moving forward, feel free to ask in #ask-the-staff and we'll clarify to the best of our abilities!

NPC ROUND-UP

We've got a few changes to the NPC line-up, so let's do a little meet and greet!

Art by nerdymacandcheese!

Welcome Cinnapedia and HAL the PAL!

"Oh dear... This all seems much more complex than my typewriter..."

Cinnapedia is an ancient, solitary wisdom deity that spends most of his time journaling and note taking. He resides in a secret library that is said to only open for only 24 hours every millennium. His library contains thousands of hidden secrets about cinnakind... too bad he doesn't have many friends. It seems like modern cinnasociety doesn't even use books anymore!

After SOMEHOW sneaking into his library, Cinnapedia took a liking to HAL. At least someone appreciates his knowledge...

"Welcome to the Cinnaverse Website! Would you like help? ^o^"

HAL the PAL (HAL for short) is the little helper that lives in the website you're on right now! He always loves to help, and she loves to help so much that it ends up crashing the website... Whoops!
HAL loves organizing and making things easier for everyone! She loves bouncing around in code making sure the website is in tip top shape!
He's close friends with Cinnapedia and very much appreciates all the knowledge he's got!

He's very much responsible for taking all those old MYOs. Thief!

Alongside this news, we are bidding farewell to Vex, our previous pound NPC. Papa Cookie will take good care of the pound in their honor!

GELATOMOON GACHA

Our lovely guest artist Ell @gelatomoon is hosting a personal gacha in two days (05/12) at 1PM PST! 

There will about 30 designs. Rolls will be $55 a piece, with payment going directly to Ell.

Expect an announcement from them in #artist-updates for more information shortly!

CHAOS-MAY EVENT 05/15 - 06/15

Get ready to don your khaki adventuring gear once again! An ancient dig site awaits you, Cinnologists, as do the Chaosi who inhabit this previously-hidden city. What fascinating artifacts might you uncover this time?

Chaos-May will be an art event with prize tiers and three phases! The event will start 05/15 (in five days!) and will take place in their own channels in our Discord server!

More detailed information on the ins-and-outs of the event will be in those channels!

Summer of tails contest (june)

We've teased it quite a few times already, so here's some more information about the upcoming Summer of Tails contest!

Your task will be to design a new Cinna tail! The shape should be unique from our current set of tails (which may require you to get creative - the world is our oyster with tail fusions!), and it should be given a neat / clear reference. The admins and community will vote for which tails we would like to add to the roster! At the end of the contest, we hope to find 3-5 new tails!

The winners of the contest will of course be compensated for their ideas! More info still to come!

TL;DR

• New Banner by Admins!
• Prompts, Monthly Theme, last month  for Cinnabunny MYOs + OA/GA customs
• Consolidated MYO slots, no longer account-binding slots or runes, + asset art
• New NPCs!
• Ell Gacha (05/12)
• ChaosMAY (05/15)
• Summer of Tails (06/10)

🐰 CLOSED! 🐰

If you have any questions about your specific claim, please DM redcrowz or nerdymacandcheese on Discord! Mac is the primary one hosting this gacha with admin backup, so all patience is appreciated!

If you have any general questions, please ask them in ⁠#❓-ask-the-staff or contact me!

Please make sure all info put into the form is correct.

Swap channels will open after all designs have been claimed, just so you get some time to connect with your bunnies but also seek out swaps as soon as you can! So don't swap on site just yet please!

Hope you enjoy!

Spring is in full swing! In today's update, you'll get a look at the new Cinnabunny reference guide, as well as other fun assets for the group. Additionally, our dear redcrowz has more qualtiy of life updates for us here on Lorekeeper! Finally, it's time for our annual Cinnabunnalia gacha, as well as GA + PGA term change-overs.

Let's dive in!

Banner

This month's banner comes to us courtesy of @watermelvin, fluffbeak, and narushishi ! Be sure to hype them up about their lovely contribution!

April Prompts

Prompts have been updated for this month! Have some springtime fun with your Cinnas and earn rewards.

GA + PGA updates

The new set of Guest Artists and Pound Guest Artists has been selected!
Welcome to the GA team Xenoblade , cinnapvppy , and Rocandrol !
And welcome to the PGA team steakseed , @crowbar , and @mossydeer !

With the new term of Pound Guest Artists, we also have an update regarding the Pound itself: there's been a changing of the guard! 🫡

As you may know, Hal has been stepping in to help with the Pound for quite a while. We're happy to report that Poe is back in action and will resume work with the PGAs! Buck will also be taking on the Pound, as was initially intended with his re-hiring. Please direct any and all Pound questions to Poe and Buck moving forward!

But that's not all! Applications for PGA are OPEN, and there's a brand new Google form for you to fill out!

To ease our transition, the previous PGA sign-up list is being wiped / retired. We have found that quite a few users who've applied are no longer active in the community, and as such choosing PGAs lately has been difficult. Additionally, we are dropping the number of PGAs from 4 per term to 3, so that it matches the GA term number.

If you have been waiting for your chance to be a PGA, and you applied with the previous form, do not worry. One of the questions on the new form allows you to let us know that you have applied for PGA before. Poe and Buck will use their discretion to make sure everyone who is interested gets their turn to be a PGA. We still have redesigns to do from 2022, so there are plenty of Cinnas up for redesigns! Fill out the form above, even if you've applied in the past, and secure yourself a spot to be a Cinnapound Guest Artist!

🐰 Cinnabunny Reference sheet 🐰

Take a look at the first ever official reference sheet for Cinnabunnies, the elusive sub-species that only appears during the spring!

If you didn't already know, there is an age-old question here in the Cinnaverse: what really IS a Cinnabunny?  This question kept coming up over the years, due in part to the fact that we as a community tend to refer to any Cinna with the Bunny Ears trait as a "bunny". We're here to clarify that today! 🥕

As you can see in the above guide, the Cinnabunny is its own subspecies. Where previously Cinnabunnies were thought to be exclusively quadrupedal, it seems they too have learned to walk on two legs like their Teacup and Munchkin counterparts. Visually distinct due to their short arms and big rabbit feet, Cinnabunnies very commonly have other Cinna forms which also sport their Legendary Bunny Ears.

On the other hand, the Bunny Ears trait itself may be used on any  Cinna species, and will not inherently make that Cinna a Cinnabunny. This is most evident here on the Lorekeeper, where your Cinna's Transformation Tabs will show which base species your Cinna is. If you have any questions regarding the labelling of Cinnabunnies vs. Cinnas w/ Bunny Ears here on the masterlist, let us know in #ask-the-staff.

height guide update

Some of you may remember an old sketchy height chart Kenna started a few years ago... well it's back! Still a WIP, but Kenna would like to share this "alpha version" of the height chart with you all. You'll see every subspecies of Cinna here, as well as every pet! (For now that is... wink.) These sizes are approximate for now, and of course you may use your own discretion for personal lore and whatnot. Expect an update to this reference within the month!

Trait update: 🌟conjoined

After admin discussion, we have decided to add a new Legendary trait: 🌟Conjoined.

Conjoined includes the use of extra torsos, heads, tails, arms, and legs, without the need for extra anatomical traits. (For example, rather than needing 4 rarity runes for UB: Caterpillar, UB: Double Head, UB: skyscraper, and Double Tail, you could simply use Conjoined.) This is a very powerful trait! Please utilize spoilers and site warnings where necessary.

For clarification, Double Head, the step down from 🌟Cerberus, is still a Rare trait. Double Head simply allows either two fully functioning heads or two conjoined heads. (The world is your oyster, horror fans.)

Site Updates

Hal is back at it again with some quality-of-life website updates for you all!

AWARD CASE
If your Cinna has any awards, i.e. they were part of a specific adopt event or they are IP inspired, the badge will now appear below their main ML image. 

ACCOUNT-BOUNDING
If you for whatever reason want to trade-lock your Cinnas, meaning they cannot change hands for any reason until they are unbound, you now have the option to do so. Read Hal's notes about it by visiting the prompt here.
NOTE: Account binding will NEVER be implemented by the admin team without your explicit permission.

Cinnabunnalia

The wait is almost over! The Cinnabunnalia gacha, which includes adopts from all of our OAs and GAs, will be held April 20th, 2024. 

These designs will be small in size (chibi/nugget), all flavors, and all species. To keep things fresh, we are not exclusively selling seasonal/Easter themed Cinnas, so keep that in mind when buying a slot! Like the last gacha, rolls will be $55 a piece. Details on time of day, how to claim, etc. will come soon!

TEASER: SUMMER OF TAILS EVENT

As we look forward into the future of Cinnas, get excited for a summer contest! Kenna wants more tails, and what he wants, he gets. 😎 Details coming later!

And that's all for today! Thank you all so much as always for participating in our awesome community! Hope you have a great day and a lovely April!

Happy March, Cinnapeeps! The time has come once again for Cinnabunnies to hop their way into your hearts!

Alongside bunny details, we have some more updates that we hope find you well.

BANNER

This month's banner was drawn by poejangles and Coffeebara ! These Cinnafriends have found an ivy-covered gateway to a magical world! What will they discover?

CinnabunnY MYOs now in the shop!

It's time! From now until the end of May, Cinnabunny MYO slots will be available for purchase in the shop!

(As an added note: if you were previously experiencing issues buying from the cash shop, you should be good to go now! More site updates from Hal in a later segment.)

March Prompts

Prompts have been updated for the month! Check 'em out and get yourself some items! 

bunny gachaS

March 21st we will host an admin-exclusive bunny gacha! These designs will be small in size (chibi/nugget), all flavors, and all species. If you're chomping at the bit to get some admin designed bunnies this March, this is the event for you! Expect rolls to be $55 a piece. 

But that's not all!

April 20th is our annual Cinnabunnalia gacha, and for this batch we've invited our awesome team of guest artists to participate as well! Same parameters as the March gacha, with all flavors, all species, and $55 per roll. To keep things fresh, we are not exclusively selling seasonal/Easter themed Cinnas, so keep that in mind when buying a slot!

Site updates

Some site updates thanks to our lovely redcrowz ! These were already posted in #!-artist-updates in the Discord, but we are re-posting them with the monthly newsletter for optimal visibility!

You can now search by Flavor!

As a note, this custom code searches all  traits that have "Extra Info" text.  (Ex. If you search "Cow", you will get any flavor that has Cow in the text, but you may also get Cinnas with the Cloven trait, if they've specified that the Cinna is a cow. Moo!)

You can also now search by IP Inspiration! This is visible in the Advanced Search Options.

There are now Submission Checklists that help you double check your work! 

And finally, there is a line clarifying additional images for Cinnas in MYO submissions + Design Updates!

Hope you guys find these updates useful! As always, feel free to leave feedback if you have more ideas for the site. ♥

We are now a community server!

We have used the last two weeks to beta test some Community Server features. We're here to let you know what all will be implemented moving forward in the Cinnaverse Discord!

Announcement Channels

These are special channels that enable you to broadcast messages beyond your server. Users can “Follow” your announcement channels and receive those updates directly to their own servers.

Explicit Media Content Filter

This is a mandatory safety feature from Discord and may label some non-explicit images "Explicit Media" at times, unfortunately. (We apologize for the inconvenience!) Here are methods to circumvent the non-explicit filter on your images:

• Put a background on your image
• Adding a black line on top of your image
• Color shift your image
• Cropping the image
• Attach a link of the image to your message

Forum Channels

We have decided to implement forum channels for the sake of organization and prevent overposting in order to keep individual posts on topic! In other words, they're optimized thread-only channels that can be easily searched and organized that reduces clutter and overposting! They are incorporated with required tags that can be easily searched. 

We have decided to convert the following channels to forum channels below:

• ⁠❓-ask-the-staff: Create a post each time you have a question!
• ⁠⭐-feedback-and-suggestions: Create a post for each time you have feedback or a suggestion!
• ⁠⛅-helpful-advice: Create a post for each time you are seeking advice or help!
• ⁠🎨-commission-ads: Create a post for your weekly commission listing!
• ⁠💸-trading-center: Create a post for your weekly trade listing!
• ⁠💕-requests: Create a post anytime you want to take requests!
• A dedicated swap channel whenever an event warrants a swap period!

Post guidelines and rules are written and pinned within their respective channels.

Thank you all again for reading, and we hope you enjoy this update!

Lorekeeper News

Our website is undergoing some updates as we get ready for the new year. You may notice some fleshed out and condensed species pages, lore tidbits, and world details you can use in your stories and character designs. Along these additions and small formatting updates, we have fixed up our FAQ, and are curently working on reflecting these changes on our dA group page. We're changing up some of the featured art, and adding new drawings for old and recent items. We'll keep you posted on these tiny asset changes as they come. 

CHANGELOG

Major

Minor

More to come! As always, Lexi's open to new website suggestions!

Theme of the Month

The Theme of the Month Cinna that is chosen as a showcase by the end of each cycle will be validated free on the Masterlist, no slot or traits needed!
This months theme for participation is Coziest Comfort ! We got one entry last month, and they'll be up for free raffle soon! 🍎

💸 Discord advertising/trading channel updates

 The advertising channels have been updated. ⁠💸-trading-center + ⁠🎨-commission-ads will be purged every Sunday at 12pm CET (starting next Sunday) rather than each post being deleted after sitting for 7 days. ⁠🍞-market-chat + ⁠💵-trading-chat are also to be archived. General channels can be used to comment on adopts and listings, but not to be treated as replacements for the market chat and trading chat.

We encourage usage of the site, TH or Discord DMs for your methods of contact in regards to ads, as much overposting and even double bumping has occurred. These changes are also to relieve stress on the admin end. We hope you understand!

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we're happy to help! And we hope you enjoy the new prompts!
