"Ahh, it seems to be that time of year again – the trees are budding, the flowers blooming, and Misticans from every corner of Mistica are enjoying themselves with the spring celebrations. Colorful eggs of all sorts of different colors and designs abound. But have you ever wondered why we celebrate by dying eggs? Let me tell you, darlings, it is much deeper than food coloring and rubber bands. Come, gather ‘round, and let me enlighten you. 

It all began long, long ago, when Mistica was still young and its population small. The Misticpets led very simple lives; most worked on small farms, growing only enough food to support their families. However, the winds of change were brewing not too far beyond the horizon. More and more Misticans were growing tired of the old ways of life and were beginning to leave the fields in favor of more skilled and lucrative careers such as blacksmithing and fashion design
. 
At first these brave souls made up the small minority of the population, as primitive farming technologies and bitter winters kept work plentiful and harvests small. But the winters became warmer, and the Misticans developed better and better technologies. As food became more plentiful and easier to grow, more were able to move into growing towns to become artisans and scholars. Culture was thriving and, with the still fairly small population, the dwindling number of farmers was able to keep food on the tables of Mistica. 

Following a rather plentiful harvest, though, this delicate balance was disrupted. With the increase in food came a population boom the likes of which Mistica had never seen. The farmers struggled to keep up with new demands, but despite their best efforts Misticans everywhere were going hungry. They fell to their knees and prayed to Pandoria, begging for some form of help. Of course, the kind goddess obliged. She bestowed upon her people magical eggs from which hatched creatures dubbed “hatchipals.” They were strong and robust creatures who were excellent for assisting in the fields. With their help the farmers were able to increase food production enough to provide for the entirety of Mistica’s increased population. 

After seeing how useful the hatchipals were to the farmers, Misticans of other trades prayed to Pandoria for their own hatchipals as well. Unable to deny her precious Misticpets, Pandoria answered every prayer. However, as Pandoria created more and more hatchipals to meet the Misticans' demands, her power drained until she became very weak and fell ill. 

The Misticans felt terrible about causing their beloved goddess harm. They nursed her back to health and, to show their thanks for all that she had given them, showered her with decorated eggs on her birthday. This blossomed into a Mistican tradition, where Misticpets gift Pandoria with decorated eggs on her birthday in order to show their thanks for all that she does.

And that, my dear Misticans, is why we decorate eggs every spring. So gather your eggs and dye, and thank Pandoria for all she does for each and every one of us."

 Our Shopkeepers are getting into the swing of things with seasonal items of their own! Make sure to check in on your favorites and see what they have for April!
 

 

And TONS more!  Check out Sweets R Us, Forest Misticpals, the Holiday Shop, Mistic Cuisine, Village Books, Pandoria's Chambers, Creepy Critters, Toy Factory, Flashy Fashions and don't forget Village Books! Seems like you might want to check EVERYWHERE!

EGG HUNT!

"Do you all know what is coming? Why, Pandoria's birthday approaches!!" Rosebud exclaimed with glee. "It's that time of the year when we give thanks to our goddess for all that she has done to aid us throughout the history of our fair world. Are you ready to gather and decorate eggs for offerings to our goddess?"


Head on over to Rosebud's Holiday Goodies shop to stock up on your dye pots and rubber bands! You'll need them as you capture eggs onsite and hope to transform them!

 

    
  

With the dye pots above and these eggs that you can find while playing the site...

   
 

 

...you can create nifty eggs like these!
    
    
    
    
    
    
   
(Keep in mind each egg 'recipe' only needs 3 items to work!)

So gather your dye pots, and other tools and get to making some fancy eggs! Also, Sunny has plain hard boiled eggs stocking in some high quantities, so head on over and get yours today!

 

Thanks, Mistic Team.

 

Hopefully you heeded Aibrean, because she's back with her questions and prizes! Check out Mistic Chat for her Books - April '13 thread if you want a chance at some shiny stuff.

Can't find the Library? Click the logo above or journey to Mistica Kingdom and head to the tower. That's where you can read books along with your pets and find the answers Aibrean is looking for.

After a bit of confusion with the Desert Dessert, it's been discovered that it, indeed, is a book, containing words and everything. Apparently it's also delicious, if a bit sandy.

 

Aibrean sighed and set a heavy pack on her desk. It was filthy, sporting a heavy coat of dirt along the bottom and colorful but half-wilted flower petals stuck in the pockets and in some of the seams. It had been an interesting journey through the sprite kingdom of Darkwood Hollow, Aibrean having been called back to assist the prince and princess with the coming of spring. Now, she had other work to do.

A myriad of new books needed to be shelved...

...and since she'd missed the previous month, the sprite thought she might do something special for the release.

Keep an eye out; Aibrean is planning special quizzes and giving out bigger prizes this weekend! Get reading!

As if the Poisson D'Avril celebrations weren't enough of a clue, now we are overrun with April Kohals as they frolic and play away from Queen Boreal's icy wasteland. 

Which means, it's time for a credit shop and vending machine update!
Vending has also received a small coding update so you can see the monthly items right on the vending page!

In the Vending Machine this month you can find the following!

And if you are really lucky, you just may find a Daydream Pandoria Box!

If you'd rather not trust to your luck, you can purchase the Keryx*, and the Butterfly of the Night Sky book directly from the credit shop, at a bit of a higher price.

Be sure to check out the older goodies as well!
 
(And more!)

Happy April! Ostara is just around the corner now!


~Mistic Team 

*- Some of you eagle eye Misticans will recognize this Keryx from Cassandra189's board on the species. She did such a great job on them, that we wanted to release this pal for everyone to enjoy. 

Have a crystallized toadstool laying about?

Starting now, you can use it to create an April Kohal! 


Credit shop will be changing out tomorrow morning, so make sure to get any last minute March purchases before they are gone!

 

~Mistic Team

It's that time of the year again Mistica! Welcome to Poisson D'Avril! Capture the paper fish you see floating around the site and enjoy sending them to friends as mementos of this day.

Once upon a time you'd attempt to 'stick' rotting fish on your friends and family on April 1st. Thankfully it has evolved to involve PAPER fish, instead of rotting fish. (thank goodness!) 
   
So keep your eyes peeled for this little paper fish to collect in commemoration of this day!

Return of the CHOCOSHEEP!
 
 You can get this pet exclusively in the credit shop, and it's only 1,000,000 MP!

Is there something funny going on in the forums? You guys seem to have misplaced some words or something. Silly Misticans. Can't you keep your thoughts straight today?

Do you dare press the Button?

Feeling lucky? Hey, have the Imps gotten ahold of our layouts? Do you see anything strange going on? You may have to do some interesting activities in order to set things right!
