Pack Playtime: Next packs were introduced into the game! There are cannon packs that roam the world, as well as several player-made packs that players can join. For this event we invite any ketucari regardless of their status in a pack to partake in a historic “pack games” event: 

THE STRUT-OFF

Possible Prizes: 10-25 gold, possibility of nobility-boosting items, possible nobility stat-boost
Guaranteed prize for the submitter: x1 Deluxe box of chocolates, x1 Replicator 

Description: Fan out those tails and frills, because it's time for your ketucari to strut their stuff! The pack elders are looking to see who has the prettiest pack, so show your ketucari and their rival striking some poses worthy of the catwalk in order to show who's the fanciest.

Requirements: this version of the strut off only requires one artist to make a piece to submit. The piece should meet minimum group requirements and include both your ketucari and someone else’s ketucari (with their permission). Both ketucari will receive prizes!

Raid Remembrance: We’ve had several raids by now! The first one was against Hianlian in the Singing Vale. It’s always fun for the community to come together to take down a rampaging deity.

Discovery of Doggos: Skipping ahead to 2018 we first introduced a brand new subspecies- the Ryno! Although the group failed to win over the trust of the elder Rynos during the event, Rynos slowly entered the world from their hidden forest. Now there are many Rynos around, and we love our ketu-dogs. A new Ryno, straight from the hidden forest has recently emerged and seeks to see if the world has changed since the old attempt at making a connection. Draw or write about your ketucari interacting with Sonov- trying to show them the good in the world.

You may commission someone else to design this for you.
