Unlock 1 allows players to create Bouquet Paper (more on this in the days ahead).

Unlock 2 allows players to create envelopes.

Bouquet Paper Unlock

>glance
You glance down to see a piece of bouquet paper in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

>l paper
Looking over a piece of bouquet paper, you gain the following information:

You have some rosemary laying in the center of your bouquet paper.

You have not selected a PRIMARY foraged item for this bouquet.

You have not selected a SECONDARY foraged item for this bouquet.

You have not set a binding item on your bouquet arrangement. It will default to "a brown hemp cord."

You are currently able to pull some rosemary from a piece of bouquet paper.

Your completed bouquet will look like this: a hemp cord-tied bouquet of whatever flowers you add

>analyze my paper
You analyze your bouquet paper and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Bouquet Paper

Create your own bouquets with this unique paper. You can add up to 10 different kinds of foraged items. You can also remove these at any time before actually making the bouquet.

PUSH - add a ribbon or cord to the design of your bouquet PLUCK - remove a foraged item from your bouquet PUT <foraged item> in <paper> - add foraged items to your bouquet paper WHISPER PRIMARY - select which foraged item you'd like to be primarily displayed in your bouquet WHISPER SECONDARY - select which foraged item you'd like to be displayed second in your bouquet WHISPER REMOVE - arrange for a foraged item to be removed from your bouquet WRAP - wrap your bouquet paper up and transform it into a bouquet

Primary Foraged Item: Not selected

Secondary Foraged Item: Not selected

Bouquet Binding Item: a brown hemp cord

Teaser 2 - Deck the Halls

Debuting at the Agora Promenade during Rings of Lumnis is a new item. The script and the shop of the same name, Deck the Halls, sell a variety of decorative props that can be adjusted by the player to suite any event's needs. Similar to Veola hair items, you can swap out gems, flowers, feathers, sea creatures and insects, pointed items, miscellaneous foraged and skinned items, and new to this item, ribbons.

This item has Stay-Put qualities. If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for four hours. After four hours, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor. Alternatively, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property and will stay there until PLACEd again.

You glance down to see a length of twining evergreen garland in your right hand and a large blooming red rose in your left hand.

>push my garl
You gently place the rose in your twining garland, taking care to arrange it just so. You nod, satisfied with a length of twining garland interspersed with blooming red roses.

>place garl
You place a length of twining garland interspersed with blooming red roses on the ground.

[You can leave the garland here in Wehnimer's, Land's End Rd. for four hours without anyone else picking it up. PLACE it again to retrieve it.]

>place garl
You pick a length of twining garland interspersed with blooming red roses up from its place on the ground.

>pull my garl
With a gentle hand, you carefully remove the rose from your twining garland.

>get my rib
You grab some red velvet ribbons from a small pocket inside of your azure cape.

>push my garl
You gently place the ribbons in your twining garland, taking care to arrange it just so. You nod, satisfied with a length of twining garland wrapped with red velvet ribbons.

Teaser 3 - Mini-Smelter Unlock

The Mini-Smelter is gaining an additional unlock that will allow it to create the following jewelry items:

Armbands
Circlets
Crowns
Pectorals

Additionally, four more pliers are being added that will allow you to zest these items.

Teaser 4 - Customary Procedures

A new shop is coming to the Isle of Ornath for your customization needs! Customary Procedures has hired a designer who can work with gemcutter patterns, frosting tips, and chocolate molds, and help make them fit a bit more into your personal needs. Bring your items with you, and speak with the designer.

Teaser 5 - And Sew It Goes

Want to change just a little something with one of your simple items? A dress? An undershirt? Perhaps a simple band or ring? Head over to And Sew It Goes and Faeona might be able to work her magic on your items. She'll be able to work with cloth, wood, metal, and stone materials, and can add just a touch of creativity to items that aren't terribly complex. Ask the seamstress about her service, and she'll give you a rundown on what she can do.

Teaser 6 - Mold-in-ator

(This family is getting crowded!)

You analyze your storage crate and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Chocolate Mold Holder

Introduced at the Rings of Lumnis in 5123, the crate is designed to hold 30 types of chocolate molds. They are allowed to stack.

It must remain some kind of container that has a thin, protective membrane over it.

It has the following actions: look (see the stored items), pluck (remove a stored item), put (add an item), and whisper (move the items to make them easier to pluck)

Teaser 7 - Wedding Punch

Hey cobblers! Lady Airisu doesn't have a shop on the RoL concourse yet, but you can find her newest offering in Skin Deep. It's a fully unlocked hallmark punch that will add the script "Wedding Punch" to cobbled shoes. When you target the shoes AT your spouse, you'll get some alternative messaging.

G>kick flat
You kick up the heels of your grey flats, clattering across the floor in an ungraceful victory dance.

OR

G>kick flat at Elidi
You narrow your eyes in Elidi's general direction before hastily swinging the left toe of your grey flats around in an attempt to kick her. You miss badly!

(In the future, punches will be sold with optional unlock certificates and priced accordingly.)

Teaser 8 - Confetti Punch

Debuting at the Agora Promenade during Rings of Lumnis is a new scripted item, a confetti hole punch. The hole punch will punch decorative holes in appropriate paper, both adding designs to the paper similar to the flower press flowers and bugs and aquatic life paper items, and also creating a handful of confetti.

The paper designs are:

• In the corner
• Across the top
• Along the bottom
• Around the edge as a border
  

None, deletes the paper in favor of a larger pile of confetti.

The confetti options are:

• design-shaped confetti
• Noun of 'designs'

Each punch can save up to 100 designs. A merchant will be available in the shop Arboreal Afterlife with hundreds of options to choose from. The design pool is the same available via the knitting designs and alteration book options viewable here: Alteration Book Designs

Teaser 9 ~ Sweet Delights

A new shop is opening on the Isle of Ornath.

Sweet Delights has chocolate heaters, new molds, and the all new mold-in-ator for your storage needs!
