Winter Wonderland

Winter hath cometh! Windows are being shuttered and fireplaces are getting lit to prepare for the bitter chill that will soon sweep the Realm. How does your Orin react to this season? Draw or write about your Orin in the Winter Seasonal Prompt for Dreamshards , a small chance of Nightflares, and new winter seasonal pets!

Weekly Free Dreamshards

As promised, the weekly Dreamshard freebie! Just open up the prompt, scroll to the bottom. and click submit. Nothing to it, easy peasy!

While this is technically listed as a prompt, you don't need to do anything besides submitting it to receive your reward. To be a bit nerdy, this is because the Realm of Orin's Lorekeeper site isn't as up to date as other LK sites (we're just that old!), so we make daily clickables as submittable prompts instead.

🎟️Invite Raffle

An ornate starry Orin has graced us for this month... A collab between paper and strabi, join the Invite Raffle if you haven't already!

Invite raffles occur on the 15th of every month, and only require you to advertise the Realm of Orin to enter. No extra art or other sign-ups; just post a link to your advertisement to enter! You have a chance of winning the raffle Orin, 15 Dreamshards, or grab a new random fall seasonal pet.

📢 You can purchase extra raffle tickets in the Cat's Eye for 50 Dreamshards each!

Prompt Hiatus

For November and December, the staff at the Realm of Orin will be taking a break! The only prompt that will run throughout this time is the Winter Seasonal Prompt, and any running events, such as the Invite Raffle and the Purification event, will end within the month. The Gifting Corner will always stay open though!

During this time, the staff hope to refurbish the site, plan enticing events, and gear up to make Orins a more active community. For the next year, we're looking to bring more creative minds to the staff team, encourage a thriving Orin economy, and expand upon the Realm of Orin lore to dive deeper into character development. And with that, we thank everyone who's stuck with us since the beginning, or have joined more recently! 

❓Poll! Secret Santa interest?

Even with the prompt hiatus going on, the staff team want to see if there's interest in participating in a Secret Santa, as we've done in previous years. The Secret Santa will gather responses in late November / early December, and will be mostly done over January. If you're interested in participating in this year's Secret Santa, let us know in the comments or in the Discord poll in #announcements. If we get 3 or more members interested, we'll host an Orin Secret Santa!

Edit: Secret Santa sign ups are live!
