Thanksgiving - #830 Turducken and #831 Quail Amagnae

Post by TSDaMan »

So, with Thanksgiving being the day after tomorrow and experience with past events, I would have expected to have seen a new Amagnae event by now. I've checked the Keep and any place else I could think it may have started.

Is there a Calendar of events that has the schedule for these things?

--------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT - go to the stream and catch the old Amagnae - Image
Hatch them (showing male sprites) - ImageImageImage
Then do quests where you hand in these hatchlings to get the new birds - world -> keep - world/1 -> Aderyn's Amagnae Farm to get one type, Torren's Amagnaery to get the other type

Quail Amagnae
Obtained from: Quest - Aderyn's Amagnae Farm

This speckled brown egg seems oddly small for an amagnae egg.

Spoiler
Quail amagnae hatchlings are small enough to fit in the average magi's hand and can easily be lost in messy rooms, found only by their surprisingly loud peeping. Until they get a bit larger, quail amagnae should be kept confined by a box, cage, or pocket. Like most hatchlings, they love warmth and will happily snuggle with any other creature that won't eat them. When older, they'll happily spend the day exploring and can occasionally lead their magi to small hidden treasures like lost coins, jewelry, and hair ties.

Spoiler
An adult quail amagnae is a plump and stocky creature, but a small one; they usually don't even weigh a pound. Females are usually duller than the males in order to help them camouflage when sitting on their nests. Both males and females take turns helping to raise their hatchlings, and both can also parent their magi by inspecting their hair and clothing, and by trying to herd their magi off to bed when it gets dark. Cheerful and talkative - even if magi can't understand what they're saying - they're a pleasant addition to any magi's collection of creatures.
Spoiler
Quail amagnae are smaller than most other amagnae, and spend the majority of their time sitting in bushes and pecking around dirt paths. They can often be found on farms and are usually friendly, though also somewhat shy. Magi seeking to make friends should offer small fruits, the sweeter the better. On their own, they generally eat bugs and seeds, and will travel great distances over the course of the day in order to eat. When living with a magi, they enjoy sitting on shoulders or inspecting dark corners for bugs; any magi who keeps one in their room will soon find they're no longer bothered by insects.

Turducken

This is a completely normal amagnae egg. It quacks occasionally, but you're sure your other amagnae eggs do that too sometimes.

Image
Spoiler
After much patience and care, your amagnae egg has hatched into a... well, it's not an amagnae, that's for sure. It peeps, chirps, and quacks, and it loves to waddle over to eat seeds and crushed corn from your hand. You hoped it might have some magical powers that could help you in your studies or on quests, but the only thing your hatchling seems particularly good at is putting on weight. It is far heavier than a similarly-sized amagnae, though most of that seems to be in the form of fat rather than muscle. It doesn't seem to be especially cunning, and despite your efforts to train it, the hatchling's attention span means that any shiny trinket or small bug that wanders nearby will make it completely lose interest and toddle off in pursuit of said object. It is very cute, though.

Spoiler
An adult turducken is shorter in length than an amagnae, lacking the reptilian features that make them so intimidating, but makes up for it's lack of length in sheer bulk. They can weigh nearly twice as much as a domestic amagnae and are round enough that in the late autumn, they might be rolled down a hill uninjured (not, of course, that any of the instructors at the Keep condone rolling turduckens, especially not through designated obstacle courses or as part of organized sports). Some might argue this is not an especially useful skill, least of all to the turducken. Most magi would rebut that keeping the funny-looking creatures around for the sake of their novelty is preferable to using them exclusively as food, which is how most farmers in the surrounding area see them. Turduckens are popular holiday meals in the countryside because they gain weight quickly and can feed more people than most other poultry, though those raised at the Keep are usually spared the fate of becoming someone's dinner.
Spoiler
One of the odder forms of poultry, the turducken is a creature unmistakably made from magic, but possessing no magic of its own. Bird experts believe it to be a rare mix between amagnae, kaerans, and dismots, though most people use the name "turducken" because "amagkaerdmot" doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well. Turducken hatchlings are easy to find for sale from the farmers who raise them for meat, but eggs are only sold by a few select poultry enthusiasts, and they're notoriously difficult to breed from scratch. Not only can kaerans be difficult to obtain, but the specific varieties of dismot and amagnae used in their breeding are a trade secret among the few farmers who produce turduckens. The specifics of breeding turduckens from their wild progenitors are kept so secret that some commonfolk have suggested that the only way to create a turducken is by somehow magically stuffing a kaeran inside an amagnae and a dismot inside that same kaeran. Regardless of where turduckens come from, magi universally agree that retaining no magical abilities of their own, they are somewhat useless as companions.

Maybe you are right. I'm not entirely sure. That is kinda why I was asking if there was a calendar of events somewhere in this mass system of message boards and forums I was overlooking.

This. Not that having a calendar is necessarily a bad idea, but the timing of events is usually based on real-life holidays, anyway (save for Magiversary, which can easily be noted on the front page of the site).

Plus, what's the fun in knowing exactly when something super awesome is going to happen? Events usually last for a few days at the least, anyway, so most users are able to participate & if not, they can always purchase whatever they missed out on later.
:haha:

The fun is in not breeding your unrealeaseable or irreplaceable things too closely to the realease and being able to plan around it, rahter then ruining your planned schedule or missing out on a day or more's worth of event eggs.
To heck with the surprise, I would prefer some warning.
