[center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/3469529][b]Click here to read more about this update.[/b][/url][/center] [more] ----------------------- [b][size=5]Champions of Highly Specific Skills[/size][/b] [emoji=star size=1] As Marva's hijinks come to a close, the cycling awards invitation items have transformed into apparel acknowledging your dragon's many accomplishments! Your dragon's invitation has been transformed into physical manifestations of your clan's great abilities! These awards items can now be collected depending on what color invitation was present in your inventory, and should now be available in your hoard by opening the invitation one final time. In addition, these items will cycle into [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange/marvas-marvelous-marvels][b]Marva's Marvelous Marvels[/url][/b] for future April shenanigans! [center][item=Flight Rising Awards Medal][item=Flight Rising Awards Ribbon][item=Flight Rising Awards Trophy][/center] ----------------------- [b][size=5]The Flight Rising Awards[/size][/b] [emoji=star size=1] This year we've seen acts of [b]physical prowess[/b], [b]mental fortitude[/b], [b]artistic vision[/b], and [b]hoard management[/b] that are truly inspiring. It's only fitting that we come together today to celebrate these fabulous feats and the dragons who achieved them! Now, to address the Greattusk in the room, I know you're all wondering where our Master of Ceremonies is. Due to a minor gravel-anche, Marva is running a [i]little[/i] late. Who would've thought a giant Noggle statue constructed entirely out of tiny loose pebbles, cardboard, and packaging tape would be so unstable? Not to worry! She's asked us to continue while she digs her way out. She'll certainly be here [i]before[/i] all the awards are passed out...[i]probably[/i]. [I]Ahem![/I] We are quite fortunate that Marva has entrusted [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/gift]Galore[/url] with the task of distributing award correspondences [i]before[/i] she was buried in her work. [info][b]Make sure to retrieve your gift from Galore before Monday April 6th at 06:00 server time.[/b][/info] Until that time, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange/marvas-marvelous-marvels]Marva's Marvelous Marvels[/url] will also be open to satisfy your gravel-related needs. Cycle out last year's old crushed rock with the finest and freshest aggregate available! Oh, and apparently she has a few other less-luxurious items on offer, if you care for that sort of thing. Now, without further fuss or muss, [b]on to the awards[/b]! Dragons of Merit have been recognized throughout Sornieth for their great accomplishments! Perhaps some members of your clan may be among them? Simply buff and polish a placard to reveal a dragon's awards! ------------------------ [b][size=5]Wavecrest Saturnalia Skin Contest[/size][/b] [emoji=water rune size=1] The thirteenth annual Wavecrest Saturnalia will begin on Monday, April 27, 2026, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Please note that the contest ends on a Wednesday.
