Ready to meet, thanks to the players who discovered them.

#Glimstripe Flutterling
Born of jungle shimmer and honeyed fluff, this fae-touched wingling wears cyan tiger-stripes down a plump insectoid body.

#Emberplume Purr

#Loamdapple Coati

#Duskgill Coronet was first discovered by @Howey.
Long sightlines over Aegis, Plus 6 More Forecasts
Today's outlook across Veloris.
Long sightlines over Aegis
The cape is unusually clear from the request board to the lighthouse rail.
Open sun over Emberhearth
The island is bright and settled, with a gentle breeze crossing the shore and slopes.
Freezing fog in the hollows
A still white fog is settling between the spires and frosting every rope and railing.
Rain over the harbor
A soft rain is dimpling the pond and the mangrove channels and running off the cliff stairs.
Restless leaves in the darkwood
A wandering breeze is stirring the high canopy and sending leaves across the path.
Electric haze around the citadel
A harmless blue haze is gathering where the spire's field meets the evening air.
A cloudbank at garden height
A soft bank of cloud is passing the lower bridges and mossy aqueducts.
That's our morning edition. Take care of each other, and leave a little room for a surprise.
