Today's Longneck lore was developed alongside the other planned Beastclan lore revisions to ensure consistency, overlap where it made sense, and deviations where it seemed like we were hitting the same notes twice. The remaining Beastclan lore entries each have a complete first draft moving forward. Each clan's Encyclopedia entry will go through editing and revision passes, while the art team works to complete the accompanying familiar and scene artwork for future updates. We feel very good about where Beastclan lore is in its process. Most of all, we're excited to continue expanding our world of Sornieth for you via the additional, revised Beastclan lore throughout 2026. ---------------------- [b][size=5]Crystalline Gala Skin Contest[/size][/b] [emoji=ice rune size=1] The thirteenth annual Crystalline Gala will begin on Monday, January 26, 2026, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration!
