Sacred Forest and Sacred Forest - Blossom Season

Greetings everyone! Vicky and I have returned from our honeymoon with lots of photos and gifts! You'll not get everything right away, though! Let's start from the end of our journey, in fact!

Our last stop before returning to Menewsha was the island of Vile. Nalin traveled to his home island to met us there and show us around. Since the lowlands are currently having a bit of a scuffle, he took us to the most wonderful nature walk at the foot of Takai Mountain (where the famous Wind Clan ninja live).

The leaves of the trees right now are a beautiful, fiery orange, but Nalin said we'd enjoy it in the brief, but welcome, spring and summer seasons as well. Vicky and I look forward to returning to Vile and seeing Takai Forest in the warmer months - but through the magic of the Sacred Forest and Sacred Forest - Blossom Season items, you can skip ahead and enjoy your favorite seasons now!

With Sacred Forest, you can enjoy the Takai Forest nature walk as we saw it - in the late summer, just before the leaves turned almost overnight to the blazing orange of autumn - and of course after. Autumn and Summer are short seasons here on Vile, so they will likewise leave the Mennies Shop early! Mark December 17th on your calendar!

With Sacred Forest - Blossom Season, you can marvel at how the leaves bleach themselves to an icy, blue-white color for the winter. Nalin tells me that some of the trees keep their white leaves nearly the whole winter! In the spring, the trees blush their leaves pink, creating a dreamy atmosphere all throughout the forest! Winter and Spring linger longer on Vile, so you can expect this item to remain in the shops until February 17th!

When the cold winds started ripping the beautiful fire-colored leaves from the trees, we sent Nalin off to work on an assignment for us and returned home to Menewsha to share some of our experiences with you all.

To get the items, you will first need to purchase some Mennies using either PayPal or a credit card. If you want to send a donation through the post, contact Mama Juru for more info.

Once you have your Mennies, take a trip over to the Mennies Shop and trade them for the items you would like! If gold is your only option, go visit the Exchange forum or Marketplace. This item will leave the Mennies Shop on midnight PST of December 17th and February 17th!

Ah - while I have everyone's attention...

While we were traveling on our honeymoon, Vicky and I decided two things. One - we love to travel! And two - Menewsha really could do with us having closer relations with the other islands. The new Empress of Dainae is really a very lovely person and tempted us with promises of more of her favorite paella the next time we visited...

When we returned to Menewsha finalize plans for - well, you'll find out what sort of surprise we've been working on very soon! - we had a long discussion with each other and then invited several prominent Menewshans to tell them what we proposed to do....

Vicky and I are going to continue to travel on behalf of Menewsha! We'll work almost as ambassadors to the Chain, improving our relationships with the peoples of other islands and sending back samples of what we've found when we can!

Of course, we'll return to Menewsha too. But for day to day care of Menewsha, we've formed a Council. I'm sure you'll recognize the names of the Council! Magnus, Channah, the Toymaker, Nalin, Abel, and Emilio have agreed to split the duties that Vicky and I normally attended to amongst themselves and work together when we travel. So please direct your concerns to the Council when appropriate.

And on that note, Vicky and I need to get back to readying the mansion for the winter season, as we've decided to travel to Merkhet and enjoy the sun... I mean, discuss the traditions associated with Celes Paradi in case the goddesses deign to visit us again this summer.
