AUTUMN 2718
ISSUE #1
Welcome to the first issue of Vitan Verities! In order to keep our players connected and highlight some of our favorite things, we’ve decided to start a little monthly newsletter to memorialize the best parts of the current season.
As Thorns: Uprising grows and changes, the features here will most likely grow and change to reflect that, so if it looks somewhat sparse now, just think of what it will be like in a few months down the road as we continue to welcome new players (hi there!) and open new Kingdoms in Vita. If you’d like to see something in particular in the next newsletter, please PM an Admin or catch someone on Discord.
I (Muse) can’t believe how much we’ve grown just in Autumn alone! So many new players and a nicely steady flow of replies in all of our lovely threads for the season!
Developments of Note
What this means is that you are free to write in any season before this one up until the start of the current year (Intas 2718), but anything before Intas 2718 must be a memory thread and anything after Vortas is currently inaccessible because it hasn't happened yet. This means you have Spring 2718 (Intas/Bethas), Rainy Season 2718 (Loshis/Hamis), Summer 2718 (Roalis), Dry Season 2718 (Yaris), and now Autumn 2718 (Dentis/Vortas) in which to write anything you wish in order to fill out your character's year, plots, relationships, and skills.
So long as you are able to keep track of moderated events (such as the Vienda Riot in Yaris or the Feast of Saint Grumble in Loshis across all of Anaxas) as well as your own personal plots and storylines, then please enjoy this opportunity to fill in the gaps of your character's year with other players.
If you need help with the Tag System that was implemented in this season, please ask Muse on Discord or via PM. The current minimum tags for any thread are as follows: YYYY, Month YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, Full Character Names, Thread Type (Open, PM to Join, Closed, Mature, Moderated, Event, etc), and any Plot Arc title given to you by an Admin or that you've come up with yourself. If you have spare time to go back and tag your threads throughout this year, that would be amazing for the calendar system that's in development for the Lore! Thank you!

The Attic
The Attic is a bookshop located in Old Rose Harbor that offers scribing and counterfeiting services under the table to those who are in the know. Run by a wick named Resha Farrow, the bookstore may be full of carefully curated used books, but it's the meticulous forgeries that earn the real coin under the table.
Why Aren't You in There Already?

I hope you’ve enjoyed our first edition of the Vitan Verities! Expect more good things in a month when the next issue is released. Please keep an eye out for additional content as the forum grows and changes. Don't forget to volunteer to participate in our NPC Development Project to help flesh out the Lore as Muse slowly reorganizes the massive beast that it is into something beautiful and amazing ...oh, and just to help the admins with their creative workload.
