The Luminary Meadows In Bloom

Vespera took a deep breath as she walked along the path toward the Luminary Meadows. The air here was always fresh thanks to the wind that swept across the crystal-studded plains, but something especially sweet was on the breeze today. It was a delicate floral scent, unmistakable...

The roses were beginning to bloom!

As Vespera approached the colorful buildings within the Luminary Meadows, the changes of the season where immediately obvious. The Meadows were always bursting with color and life, but a profusion of blossoming rose bushes added even more beauty to the landscape. 

The Meadows bloomed with color at the same time each and every year, bringing an early respite from the cold and snow of Winter. As soon as the Roseweaver Roses opened their blooms, everyone knew it was time for the annual Heartsong Festival! 

The loveliness of the rose blooms, blossoming despite the remains of Winter's chill, represented the beauty and steadfastness of love in all its forms to celebrating Santarians across Valaria and Aleriea. It was one of Vespera's favorite times of year, and she had come to the Meadows to help prepare for the celebrations.

A pair of figures was standing in front of the Bakery. One extended an arm to wave in greeting when they saw Vespera approaching. Breezyl and Skylar greeted Vespera with warm smiles.

"Hi, Vespera!" Breezyl grinned. "Ready for the Festival?"

"I can't wait!" Vespera replied. "The Meadows are already looking so lovely -- and the roses have only just begun to bloom."

"There's still so much we don't understand about the magical properties of these flowers," Skylar said. "I hope we'll have some time during the celebrations to learn more about the Blossomheart and Roseweaver roses!"

"I'm sure we will," Vespera agreed. "What kind of celebration would this be without a little adventure?"

Continued QoL Improvements

★ We have added additional functionality to the Accessibility toggle on the User Settings page. Now, when activated, this flag reduces the movement of Minimals during the Herding minigame.

When the accessibility flag is turned on, the Minimal you are herding
will circle a single small area instead of wandering around the entire
page. You will still need to explore the area Silvershade directs you to to discover the exact page the Minimal is hiding on, however!

★ The user shop "Sales History" page has been tidied up! It now shows a log of the last 7 days of transactions (reduced from the last 100). The list of sold items now also includes the item ID and a link to Price Check for each one. Each buyer's name now links to their profile. The readability on sale prices has been improved by adding commas and the "sP" suffix. And finally, the log is now paginated and the table no longer overlaps the site template!

★ The Harlowin Cave now features a functional pet name check, and will allow non-First Edition (FE) pet names to be created!
