Homelands
WELCOME TO THE HOMELANDS
What are homelands?
A Homeland is a Phish-Keeper assigned region that acts as an individual community, with a usually small to mid sized group of individuals that live and thrive together in that shared space!
These P-K’s will act like a family, and will actively help each other out when there is trouble or to protect their space and the creatures that live there with them.
When a Phish-Keeper is choosing their Homeland, they will think about the best environment to suit both their Companion and themselves, often being drawn to a location based on a habitual instinct transferred emotionally through their Companion!
Choosing a Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant special perks based on the Homeland they choose, which can be applied when completing quests, prompt art, personal art, and even commissions! (Perks not currently active, but still listed)
Below are a few of the currently researched Homelands, and a small description of their localized micro-climates and habitat types.
Navigation
TUOKO REEF
“This vast reaching, warm water Reef is teeming with life; from the giant coloured corals, kelps, and reeds that gather along this Reef’s floor to the various Tropical Phish-Keeper, who carefully craft their Den’s within the foliage and rock formations among the sand."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- 2x more likely to find Shells, Stones and Scales when completing Quests, Prompts & Reward Rolls
- 2x more likely to find Familiars on Reward Rolls
Lily lagoon
“With it’s cool, clear water and low salt content, this expansive Lagoon is the perfect place for Fresh-water fish & insects to thrive, and Fresh-water Phish-Keepers to make their Den’s. Floating at the surface of the water are giant Lily Pads that tower over the rest of the Lagoon, dappling the shallow sandy floor with speckled shade during the day, and letting glowing moon-beams in at night."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- 2x more likely to find Ferns, Lilly’s & Frog-spawn when completing Quests, Prompts & Reward Rolls
- 2x more likely to find Familiars on Reward Rolls
Hollow cavern
“Deep within the cracked walls of this massive underwater Cavern, live the deep Ocean dwelling life forms and Deep-Ocean Phish-Keepers who are used to the low light levels and near freezing temperatures. With its looming reeds that seem to grow beyond the ceiling of the cavern, to the bioluminescent & glowing foliage intwined within the walls and Ocean life threading sparkling patterns within the water, this dark world is unlike any other."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- TBD
Redwood rocks
“Shrouded in the dense red bark of gigantic Redwood trees and thick coverage from the foliage, and the multitude of external rives that lead to this spot, large numbers of migratory fish and ancient creatures call this fresh water lake home. Salmon can often be seen during breeding season scaling the many waterfalls that pepper the cliffs surrounding the area, and larger than normal specimens are a common occurrence here."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- TBD
Arctic trenches
“Littered across the surface of the frigid Ocean water in this freezing area are gigantic sheets of ice, thick enough to easily support a thousand Phish-Keepers or more. Diving below these white behemoths reveals large, deep creeks plunging below where the light can travel successfully, where the weirdest and wackiest of creatures live."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- TBD
THE DEEP DARK
“Down below the surface of the water, where even the Sunlight struggles to travel, is the strange climate of the Deep Dark. With a thick, dense pressure and large Brine ponds littered across the barren sandy floor, this zone is full of hazards and means that P-K must rely on their hardy bodies and adaptive senses to survive to the fullest."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- TBD
Leviathan Whale Fall
“Resting at the bottom of the ocean, tucked in an undersea canyon, the ancient remains of a gargantuan P-K and their whale companion lay. Steam vents keep the area warm, and promote foliage growth, making the area a prime spot for scavenger Phish-Keepers and their companions, who form their dens in the cliffs surrounding the skeleton. Some say they can see the skeleton’s ghost in the darkness when the nights get long."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- 2x more likely to find Rock Shards, Fossils, and Relics when completing Quests, Prompts & Reward Rolls
- 2x more likely to find Familiars on Reward Rolls
Sekuoyah Kelp Forest
“Kelp forests are filled with a wide array of kelp and other algae. This particular kelp forest boasts the tallest kelp with large, red stems. With all this food and shelter, you can find everything from the tiny nudibranchs to giant sea bass, making it a perfect place for mammalian Phish-keepers who need to eat a lot to keep warm."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:
- 2x more likely to find Urchin Quills and Paint Pots on Reward Rolls
Cinder Beach
“On the black-sanded shore of a long inactive volcanic island, lays a series of tide pools formed by the igneous rocks of an age-old eruption. These tide pools serve as a home for many crustacean, and mollusk Phish Keepers and their companions, who spend much time out of the water. During the breeding season, the beach will be covered with sea turtles, returning to lay their eggs on the sand."
Choosing this Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant these special perks:

OPEN OCEAN
Phish-Keepers of this type are migratory, and do not usually settle in one spot for long periods of time.
Instead, they choose to travel into different regions regularly and have ties with multiple different Phish-Keeper clans at a time.
