The Forest thrums will newfound vigour as spring now well and truly has taken hold. A wander around The Endless at this time of year brings with it the scent of flowers bursting into bloom, the sound of birdsong in the canopy and feel of the warming sun against fur.
Something new has appeared this year – another new activity to take place this Spring Rally. A mare has perched herself in a sunspot surrounded by… *things*. You can’t quite tell what items she is bartering as of yet given they’re hidden behind blankets and in various baskets but clearly this is another booth set up to make the best of the forest’s spike in activity.
The coo of a dove alerts the dozing witch to your presence and she raises her head to greet you, mismatched eyes crinkling slightly in a soft smile.
“Welcome, I am Heligan and this is Glynn." The dove fluffs its feathers up in response to his introduction. "Would you like to take part in a game?”
The game is a scavenger-hunt based event that will take place on three dates over the course of the rally: Saturday the 20th, Sunday the 28th and TBD Here characters are tasked with finding white dove feathers that have been hidden around the forest, represented in game by the dove avatar.
A total of 10 doves will be hidden around the forest during each hunt - find all 10 to win a prize of your choosing! Didn't find all the doves during the hunt? No worries - take part in the next hunt to make your total up to 10 and you can claim a prize as normal.
On the given hunt days a total of 10 doves will be hidden in forest from 2pm to 8pm BST. In order to ‘find’ a feather and claim the point you must screenshot your character next to the dove – please make sure your character’s picto + the dove + the general surroundings are visible (i.e. don’t crop your photos super small!). Please send the screenshots with your character’s name to Wildflower#8793 on discord or alternatively comment your photos on the Toyhou.se page or here on the Endless Forest blog ONLY AFTER the hunt has finished for that day.
This year players may only enter each hunt once. You may enter different characters across each hunt or the same if you choose to do so.
Once your character has found 10 doves they may claim a prize from that day's prize selection. Prizes will be revealed on the evening or morning (BST / UTC+1) after the hunt has concluded. As you may enter each hunt only once you may claim only one prize per hunt at most.
To claim a prize please comment on the TEFc blog with what your character wants. Make sure to spend your points before the last day of the rally and Heligan wraps up her stall for the year!
Good luck and happy hunting!
Koi ornament
A carved jade koi figurine that would fit in the palm of your hand. There appears to be a warm red light trapped within that is almost imperceptible when in bright conditions. However, as the surroundings darken it glows brighter; enough to illuminate the immediate vicinity. Donated by Ryushin.
Lily candle holder
A carefully crafted tealight candle holder in the shape of a water lily, combining various sizes and shapes of glass pieces, with salmon pink as the base colour. A candle embraced by the petals throws a soft light on them, creating a tiny show of pink hues. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
Collar
A piece of body jewellery - two lengths of pale silk ribbons are attached to a lightweight metal collar.
Glass Wind Chime
A delicate decorative piece that combines the elegance of glass with soothing melodies created by wind. The gentler the breeze, the more tender melodies are produced. Transparent, with a very light hint of violet tint on the glass. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
Ear Cuff
An extravagant ear cuff, designed to fit around the ear of someone like so. Exotic bright feathers are attached to a bend-able metal strip which Heligan will adjust to fit your character.
Moth Cloak
A soft woolen felt cloak with a fur collar, in the likeness of a fuzzy moth.
Bear Claw Necklace
A necklace, attached to which is the large claw of an ancient cave bear, set in engraved silver. A few stones of jasper surround the item. Donated by Artemis.
Butterfly Earrings
Delicate earrings made of coloured glass, designed to look like a pair of butterfly wings. The glass is translucent enough to allow light to shine through, making them glitter in the forest sunlight.
Neck Bell
A functional jewellery, made out of authentic gold. Can be attached to any chain or cord and worn around a limb, tail or neck. Designed to emit a soft tinkling sound with each movement of the wearer to serve as a gentle noisemaker as well as a whimsical element to personal style. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
Blue Cloak
A warm, fur-lined cloak with embroidered floral details. Perhaps a bit unseasonal for the spring but those from colder climes may find it useful.
Labradorite necklace
A necklace with a labradorite pendant, framed in petrified wood. The gemstone has an opalescent sheen to it.
Shroom leaf
A very rare leaf, harvested from one of the mushrooms growing within the caves of the Second Continent from the Oyla Universe. The veins are bioluminescent up to a week after being separated from a mushroom - the core and actual fuel to the light. After that time the leaf slowly but surely starts to turn into a light blue crystal formation. It becomes heavier and less fragile. Not edible. Donated by Ilkay, art by ShrinkingRose.
Ear Cuff
An extravagant ear cuff, designed to fit around the ear of someone like so. Exotic bright feathers are attached to a bend-able metal strip which Heligan will adjust to fit your character.
Wreath
A circular wreath woven from willow twigs, decorated with foliage, flowers and berries that will never rot nor fade. Three small bells dangle from the wreath, creating a gentle sound at the slightest breeze.
Projector
A stone 'lantern'/projector. Activated, casts a wide bubble that one can relax inside underneath a combination of a starry night sky and an underwater scene, accompanied by astral stingrays gently wading through. Donated by a guest, art by HootinOwl.
Glass Wind Chime
A delicate decorative piece that combines the elegance of glass with soothing melodies created by wind. The gentler the breeze, the more tender melodies are produced. Transparent, with a very light hint of violet tint on the glass. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
Diadem
A delicate, tiara-like headpiece wrought from steel. At its center sits a polished lapis lazuli stone.
Butterfly Earrings
Delicate earrings made of coloured glass, designed to look like a pair of butterfly wings. The glass is translucent enough to allow light to shine through, making them glitter in the forest sunlight.
Moth Choker
A moth choker with amethyst wings, scratched with golden edges. Donated by Jay, art by HootinOwl
Hairpin
A Kanzashi, a decorative hairpin. In the centre there is a piece of yellow jade surrounded by a patterned fabric ‘fan’ and trailing wisteria blossoms. The blossoms never appear to fade nor lose their scent. Donated by Ryushin.
Lily candle holder
A carefully crafted tealight candle holder in the shape of a water lily, combining various sizes and shapes of glass pieces, with salmon pink as the base colour. A candle embraced by the petals throws a soft light on them, creating a tiny show of pink hues. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
Butterfly Cloak
A cloak resembling a pair of butterfly wings. The fabric is lightweight and has a silky sheen to it.
Antler cuffs
A set of brass adornments to be worn on the tines of antlers or horns. The chain length and caps can be ‘altered’ to better suit specific antler types.
Neck Bell
A functional jewellery, made out of authentic gold. Can be attached to any chain or cord and worn around a limb, tail or neck. Designed to emit a soft tinkling sound with each movement of the wearer to serve as a gentle noisemaker as well as a whimsical element to personal style. Donated by Landan, Art by ShrinkingRose.
