Happy Anniversary!
I can't believe it's been a whole entire year since we launched! Enchiron's been a project I've had kicking around since 2014 (it's the 10-year anniversary of the world, and the 1-year anniversary of the species!), and I'm awed by how far it's come. There are officially 141 of you! You all have motivated me to create so much more for this world than I ever have before, and I'm so proud of everything we've made, together! We have launched three of our planned species: there are now 55 caelians, 72 ianthina, 27 ignii, 3 humans, and 1 hybrid! This brings us to over 150 designs so far! That's AMAZING.
Each and every one still sparks so much joy, and even more than that I love seeing the stories you guys have made for your characters. Your stories are what have brought this world to life. I am honored you've chosen to spend your time with this world, and I'm looking forward to what we make together.
Giveaways
Which brings us to our celebrations! We'll be having a raffle every week--all ianthina, in honor of their place as our beta species--and at the end of the month, you can look forward to a new major feature that'll be coming out!
This first ianthina, designed by fuddlestars, is very special: they're sporting a major mutation that turns their antennae into feathered seabunny rhinophores! The raffle ends February 7th.
The Waiting Wife
Ennis and Nkiru are a loving couple, deeply dedicated to each other, but there's one more person in the relationship you all don't know about: the wife that waits at home, patient while they leave for the markets. She has a secret, however, and that's... up to you all!
This is a build-an-NPC event, where you all contribute ideas; the community votes on which they want; and I bring the concept to life! This initial ideas phase will be open until February 14th.
Fashion Meet-and-Greet
The Drape and Design Soiree has reached its conclusion! The winner is... DreamAngelflight! To celebrate, check out the profile to tour the entries, and enter the raffle for a chance to win art of your OC with our fashion superstar. This raffle is open until February 10th.
Looking for Feedback
With Fumir celebrations over at last, I'd love to hear what you thought of the event! This is your opportunity to tell me what you thought of the event and give feedback on the species as a whole. Should you choose to leave your username, you get 1 Memory for answering the first question, and 2 more if you fill out the entire form. This form will be open until the end of the month.
Looking for Staff
Amid all this celebration, I have to admit: running a species is hard work! Over the past year, some of our staff have left to pursue other passions, and so we're on the lookout for more hands to help out. Please review the Staff Expectations, then we'd love to see your app! Applications will be open until the end of the month.
Looking for Affiliates
We're also looking for new affiliates! If you know a species you think would be a good match for us (or run a species yourself), then please, drop us a line! I'd love to do more cooperative events in the future. Affiliates are open indefinitely.
New Monthly Prompt: New Friends
With so many new folks populating Enchiron, now's the time to get out there and meet people! For a reward of Memories, draw or write your answer to the following prompt:
What new friends has your character made lately? Is there anyone they hope to befriend in the future?
Featured Journals
For those new to this group, we have a special system known as Journals. They are a way to help record the journeys your characters undergo, share it with others, earn rewards, and keep up to date with the activities and relationships between other characters. This time, we're featuring updates to two old Journals.

- Olitsken romance was expanded to romance and family
- The Vents
- Olitsken Death
- Olitsken Music
- Ianthina are capable of becoming infected with fin rot, and that can also cause the edges of fins to be eaten away, exposing the rays. (Ianthina, Skin and Fins)
