Happy Pride!!!! Reminder that the Astrial Keepers species and Discord is a safe space for LGBTQ+.

Hello,

For those who don’t know, the Astrial species was  originally created by a user formally known as Tobi, who is now going by  Kei. After some serious incidents came to light, Tobi/ Kei abandoned  the server and left it in our hands (Demontea and Delyth ). After over two months of waiting for them to return, we decided to rebrand and completely recreate the species to make it our own, and make sure that you all could keep the designs you were proud of. 

Unfortunately, it’s recently come to light that Tobi/Kei  has created a new server and ‘reclaimed’ Astrials. We have evidence that  they forfeited ownership to us, and we have worked very hard  redesigning all the species here to make sure that the  Astrials/Cloudies/Nirraks are truly our own.

All of Tobi’s/Kei’s art and OCs have been removed from the  server long ago, however we wanted to make sure you guys were aware that  this existed and to be careful if you see anything from anyone calling  themselves Astrials that isn’t us. 

For anyone who is curious and wants to see proof of our ownership, please dm me or one of the other mods and I am happy to send  you the screenshots. If you would also like to see the public beware  currently out on Tobi/ Kei, please let me know also. But please be  warned this document does contain very upsetting content that may be  triggering to some people. So please take care of yourselves also.
We  will be confronting this issue in the coming days, once we’ve contacted  some of our partners and gotten as much evidence as possible. 

In lighter news! The spring event! I know the server has  been very dead as of late but we’re hoping to revive it with new events,  a new species and new adopts coming in the near future. Please stick  with us! 

You’re welcome to ask any questions you may have in qna or casual chat in the discord or comment here ^^

We’re happy to announce that Astrials are one WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR OLD! We've really been through a lot together already- doing a species wide redux and introducing both Cloudjumpers and Nirraks! They're certainly not the only surprises we have in store for everyone though, and we're super excited to see everyone with us for future events!
As celebration and as thanks for everyone in this community, we’re hosting an Anniversary event for the next week! We’re bringing back the Body Armor trait from the grand opening as well as a couple more NEW thematic traits with our Anniversary special Knight Vial!

From April 8th to April 15th the Knight Vial will be available to win through participating in the event by invites, art, and quizzes! We will be hosting giveaways daily as well for users who can’t participate as actively!

Thank you ALL for making Astrials a welcoming and warm space and we super appreciate everyone’s company here!

Big thanks to tepid__ for designing the new spring banner!

Welcome to the Lantern Festival!!!
   

We have a really special event this month!!
Astrials and their cousin species are born from wishes and magic, but during one month of the year, lanterns can be found in the realm of wishes!
When a lantern is filled with magic from two creatures, a third will appear, creating a child of the two!

The children Will NOT be hybrids, but will have:
- randomised traits between the parents
- preset colour palette
- traits from different species rolled from approximate same rarities

Lanterns will be available all through February, and able to be activated in the Lantern Fest thread! After the month passes, all unused lanterns will not be able to be activated until next year, and new lanterns cannot be purchased!
Look forwards to events later this month on how to earn more lanterns!

  Winter traits are here!   

Created of course by our lovely Witchyeevee , the winter event traits are finally here for you!

How to get a winter vial:

  Draw any NPC with a winter theme (not necessarily holiday themed) and submit to event-submissions

  Create an invite to the server! Post a full, uncropped screenshot in invite-submissions

  Mystery Boxes!

The invite event / winter themed drawing ends on the 1st of February 2023 But the vial will still be available through the mystery box all year!

  Get your creative juices flowing!! The mascot contest has less than a month to go!  

Here are the rules:

- Each person may submit 2 designs to the contest! The design MUST be an Astrial. Spikes and Nirrak Eye Traits are allowed however.
- It’s intended for them to have similar traits to Nova and Salvia, but feel free to be as creative as you like.
- Design Submissions must be colored fullbodies.
- Collabs will not be accepted for this contest
- Any one design may have traits up to rare and only two(2) legendary traits as well as two(2) vial traits
- The winning design(and only them) will become property of Astrial Keepers.

These two are the wonderful king Salvia and Goddess Nova! (designed by Witchyeevee )
