[Event] Atysmas Story Telling
You notice it by a more cheerful attitude around the campfires of the city guards. You notice it in the smiling faces of the children running around. You notice it by the eager Yubos pawing in the dust, fattening up for the winter. You notice it by many things. Atysmas is coming!
Come to the new Lutrykin Atysmas Village at 8 h, Pluvia 23, 2nd AC, 2591(*) for Atysmas Story Telling! The Lutrykin Storyteller will host the gathering. Come tell us a tale, or just come to listen to the amazing stories told by other assembled homins. Enjoy a beautiful Atysmas gathering with a mixture of funny, contemplative and inspirational tales and poems. Let all inhabitants of Atys be part of your fantasy and share an Atysian story.
We are looking forward to a delightful evening with you and your favourite stories.(**)

[Event] Grinch or Elf?
Description:
Lutrykins have opened a workshop in each Atys nation, in which they create Atysmas gifts.
Will you choose to be an Elf and help Lutrykins by carrying the completed gifts to a special area next to the workshop? For this, talk to the NPC in a workshop, he’ll give you a gift that will appear as a virtual item in the “Special” part of your bag. Then go in the special area as explained by the NPC, and click on the virtual item in your special bag to put the gift on the floor, just where you are standing. You’ll then get a random reward.
Or will you choose to be a Grinch by destroying the gifts moved to the special area by the Elves? These gifts are attackable and can be destroyed, but they have a lot more HPs than the usual ones. They drop a random loot.
Note that traps (see below) and presents have a cooldown and only one present can be carried at the same time.
Scores:
- For Elves: Placing a present gives you a positive score (+1 for a small gift, +2 for a medium one, + 3 for a big one). Elves can buy some traps to block the Grinches using their positive scores.
- For Grinches: Destroying a present gives you a negative score (-1 for a small gift, -2 for a medium one, -3 for a big one).
Grinches loose some negative scores if they fall into a trap and can’t loot the trapped present.Note that it’s possible to be sometimes kind, sometimes evil, you are not forced to always act as an elf or as a grinch.
Rewards:
Elves rewards:
- 3 stages of titles according to the positive score (30, 60, 120);
- 1 new reward (equip-able ginger-yubo) for the last stage.Note that a won title will not be lost by elf players if they buy some traps after having won the title.
Grinches rewards:
- 3 stages of titles according to the negative score (-10, -20, -50);
- 1 new reward (same than that of elves) for the last stage.

[Event] The biggest of all snowmen
This year, as winter sets in, very numerous mini-snowmen leave to discover the surface of Atys.
Hominas and homins of Silan, Fyros, Matis, Trykers, Zoraï, Marauders, Rangers or Independents, you can engage in competition to create the greatest of all snowmen!
How to play?
1 - Target each of the mini-snowmen moving at the surface of Atys in order to harvest from them a fresh snowball. For this, you will have to place yourself less than 4 meters from them. A message in SYS. INFO will inform you that you have collected a fresh snowball, which will appear in your “Special” bag.Each snowman will provide only one snowball per participant.
2 - Go to the Atysmas village to deposit the fresh snowballs you got in the barrel provided for this purpose.At the first deposit you will be asked to define the team (nation or organization) you wish to compete for : “Fyros”, “Matis”, “Trykers”, “Zoraï”, “Marauders”, “Rangers” or “Silan and Independents”.
The Lutrykins will then use this snow to create, fatten and grow taller the super-snowmen present in the village as well as their counterparts in front of the cities.
Seek carefully, the mini-snowmen wander everywhere, in every region of the surface of Atys. There are 679 mini-snowmen on Atys: 41 on Silan, 164 in the Desert, 165 in the Forest (Marauder camp included), 164 in the Lakes, 124 in the Jungle, 21 in Almati. Will you find them all?
Rankings:
There will be two rankings:
- Rank of the 7 teams according to the final size of their super-snowmen;
- Rank of the participants according to the number of snowballs put down.
Rewards:
- For the 20 first homins of each team: an equipable ginger-homin;
- For the 60 first of each team: a giant snowman for apartment;
- For all the participants: a very small snowman for apartment;
- 4 stages of titles according to the number of mini-snowmen found (40, 100, 300, 500);
