When and Where

The 7PM EST Sunday Splinterlands lore Trivia Giveaway is almost here!
Every Sunday at 7PM EST we ask lore questions and the first correct answer will recieve a prize of DEC, SPS, or a Card. We host it on the Splinterlands Lore Discord Server linked below!!! The lore server also acts as a repository of all the amazing lore sources the Devs have given us over the years. The lore is so good, and encouraging players to read it is why @Drabs587 and I started it! We've been so proud of how far everyone has come, and how well many of these players know the lore now! It's quite impressive.

Last Week Recap

All information about lore here taken from the sources listed at the bottom.

We talked about the fearsome Kraken who has only ever left one survivor, Vyrkov Pummelswain, a pirate on a ship the Kraken ravaged. Vyrkov often wondered after he survived if the beast purposefully left him alive to tell the tale. The kraken prefers to stay out in open waters where on the only foolish interlopers are the pirates. Pummelswain thought the kraken may have left him alive to warn others away and leave the beast in peace.

We also talked about how about one in three mer are embued with magic, and that they are identified and cultured from a young age. While there is no difference in the presence of magic between genders, only women are able to become healers. Doing so comes at great sacrifice to themselves though.

We also talked about the Fiendish harpies who were a failed experiment by the Gloridax in an attempt to create chickens with greater food yields, but while they were bigger, as expected, they were also far more vicious. They eventually escaped the lab, and they are an invasive species present on every continent of the splinterlands. Particularly concerning is how they've taken up residence near the spring of power in Anmumun.

Special Thank You

Thank you to @carrieallen @chrisroberts, and the many others who contributed to the amazing lore we can can now discuss and celebrate!!! Also special thanks to @carrieallen for providing a PDF copy of the Splinterlands Encylopedia, of which about 100 physical copies exist that were created during the Untamed Kickstarter event. I've added the PDF to the Unofficial Lore Discord Server linked below.

Thank you as always to @drabs587 for having a great time hosting with me every week! It's been a crazy couple months we've been doing this!!! I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime in this.

I want to give special thanks to @kramlyn12 and @hyde-20 for being moderators in the lore server and for helping hand out the giveaways from time to time. These two have been such a great help on the lore server, Chanse's server, and in the community as a whole. Their availability and willingness to help out has really been appreciated. Without you all, I really couldn't do this. It's a team effort!

Hints

I will be spreading questions over more splinters instead of focusing one or two at a time. This will make it a little more difficult for those coming here for hints, and I do apologize for that. Trying to be more fair and less predictable!

There will be at least one Geography Question, so please review the beautiful maps created by the brilliant HUGOBOSS1019. As always. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge.

I'm a huge fan of Dragons, so you can expect a mininum of one Dragon question every week. As literally always. Roar.

I'm feeling like a few extra Mortis questions this week.
