Realm Familiarity has been completely overhauled.
We've been working hard to expand this system further, and we hope this encourages you to go out and explore with your Lythians!
- Realm familiarity level cap has been increased to 20 levels
- Each level has different rewards
- Having more Lythians with higher realm familiarity means rarer rewards in that realm
- Rewards include frames, badges, rare areas, exp boosts, and more!
- EXP system has been revamped as well
It's a really extensive update so to view more information about it, please check out the official news post on site!
We are also making some adjustments to our overall site text and terminology and streamlining the Index ID numbers for all Lythians. Instead of having a species-specific ID, all Lythians will instead utilize a consistent numerical ID (all profile URLs using the old ID will continue to work for a while to keep external links from breaking).
Design guidelines for all Lythians and companions have been updated. This new system is simplified and narrows required "Core Guidelines" for all Lythians and companions to 5 or fewer bullet points. Suggested guidelines are included but have been made optional and are provided purely for inspiration and ideas.

Hello! This will be a little more personal than usual, and I, Jack, am writing this directly.
My fiance is being evicted from his apartment on August 22nd. We have been long distance for many years now, and given the spiking rent prices in the US, would like to take this opportunity for him to move to my location (Tennessee). To this end, we have started a fundraiser to help and acquire the money needed to establish housing once he gets here.
All these and many more!
Thanks to the efforts of CakeBird and StardustMinka, I have placed some new limited time pets in the cash shop. These are accompanied by more information about our situation and our original PayPal fundraiser for further accountability. Money from these pets will go dually toward my and my fiance's attempts to acquire housing, as well as shared with SunglassesArlo to help with car repairs that have appeared during the course of setting up this fundraiser.
- These pets are all marked as "custom", so they will not show up missing from your Bestiary if you don't collect them.
While these pets are limited, I would like to stress that while all help is appreciated, you should always ensure that your own needs are met before assisting us. Thank you so much for reading this and spending your time playing Lythbound!
07/13/2022
Two new types of Axomaurs have been added - Teacup and Alpine! The Alpine can be made using only a MYO slot, but the Teacup version requires a Scissor of Redesign when submitting the MYO.
