The Samhain Ferryman arrived early yesterday, and upon his arrival, rumors began to spread. If they can be believed then the cursed island of Samhain, Inis Isle, will soon make its appearance.

The winds have changed.

Beyond the roaring crowd far from the eternal battle of glory and struggle within the Colosseum, a place not of battle, but of exchange, rises.

They call it Symposium. Here, steel is traded for words, glory becomes creativity, and ideas become weapons.

While it welcomes every scholar, minstrel, and wanderer, the sands beneath the Colosseum begin to stir once more... there is still glory to be had.

While the Symposium may be open, the next phase dawns, and the work continues ever more.

--

I will be actively working on the next phase of Colosseum as well as looking into some prep-work for the Samhain event.

While the sands still drink of the blood and sweat of Gladiators, whispers stir in the winds of Mythodreas. Soon, a place will rise. Forged not with walls of stone but with shared knowledge and imagination. Here, minstrels, warriors, scholars, and travelers will gather with voices weaving stories and secrets alike. Prepare your thoughts, sharpen your quills, and ready your tales; the Symposium (forums) is coming.

Note: ETA will not be provided for Symposium/forums, and once it is released, Colosseum's next phase will be ironed out along with Junkyard.

This change primarily affects those that have registered with the Adventurer's Guild:

Colosseum has many moving parts, not all of which are readily available, but while I work on those "Colosseum Plans," I'd like to update you on an important change.

Based upon observation of Rankings and various feedback from those who have participated, all Battle Stats for species have been adjusted. In addition, HP has been increased by 5 (though my Arlit still got nailed by Runic, but sometimes she manages to dodge). Additionally, XP, along with how much XP is required till the next level, has been applied to Colosseum cards to better track your Familiar's progress. These stats will be displayed during Familiar Creation.

At this time, Familiars that are resting and are woken up via Cranberry Tea or a Bless will wake up with their energy slightly restored. An update is currently being worked on to facilitate "live" energy restoration regardless of where energy is currently at for your Familiar.

Edit: Thanks to a reported bug via the Discord server and/or Contact Us form, I have removed the "Sick" debuff that occurred on a handful of familiars, such as Trepa and Cailos, as soon as I woke up. I normally do not use news to inform you of changes. That is what the Change Log (located in News and Updates) is for.

[BETA] Colosseum and Apothecary are now accessible from the navigational menu under "Mythodreas." Participation in Colosseum requires that you go to the Adventurer's Guild (currently only available while in the Colosseum).

This system reintroduces RPG-like battle stats, energy, and energy cooldown; a lot of it will be used for the Wandering System at a later date. While it remains in Phase 1, expect it to encounter maintenance banners and updates until it is deemed worthy of having its "[BETA]" tag removed.

Note: The use of "BETA" refers to the idea that the feature or enhancement is subject to change based upon use, further development, reported bugs, and respectful feedback. For users who dislike the idea of having their Familiars fight, do not fret, you will not be missing out on story content. Participation in the Colosseum is voluntary, and visiting the Colosseum will not place your Familiars in a Match unless you explicitly choose to start one with the help of Teddy Corvidae.
