I was sitting there, at the beach near Xiang Chung-Shi, thinking about how 10 years ago we were fighting against a strange fog. A lot has happened since then. Pirates work with us now, traveling to outer space is possible, but there is no need for a police officer these days.

Lilroo will never change and many players just know how to protect their expensive items in their backpacks now. No one calls a police officer for a stolen Water Bowl or Box of Tissues.


"What's that? Looks like some kind of bottle."
Just as I am about to get up and retrieve the bottle, I hear someone call my name. I turn around to see that nosy little reporter Nova walking up to me. I need to get rid of him as soon as possible. So I come up with this fake story of planning a retirement trip. I guess it worked, because he left as soon as he could say goodbye.

When I reach the bottle, I grab it and after a while wade back to the beach. There is a note inside!

My little break at the beach is immediately done, I head back home. I could have opened the bottle right there at the beach, but like I said, you never know if someone is watching. Once I was home, I opened the bottle and with a little difficulty I retrieve the note.
All it said was: HELP! SO MANY BONES!


Bones? Perhaps this note comes from Miles, he might need help digging up all those dinosaur bones.

Various Improvements

It is now possible to "like" posts on forum topics via the heart that appears on the bottom right of a post. If you see a suggestion that you support and would like implemented, please like the post using the heart on the bottom right corner!

We have added some sections to the Dashboard, which now displays recent forum posts and new adoptable marketplace posts. We are looking into other widgets and customizability to add to this page in the future as well.

Individual Lythian pages now include toggle buttons to mark all of that Lythian's art submissions as visible or hidden (this does not affect unwatermarked masterlist images, which remain visible only to the owner). It is still possible to toggle a singular image by clicking on the image itself.
