Our book admin is finished, and soon staff will start processing books that have been submitted. While they are add it, they will also start entering book questions so our quests can be restored.

We have also made adjustments to the Author Commissions. Authors of books will now get paid based on how well their books get rated. So make sure your book is as good as possible!

We will be posting weekly site updates when books have been accepted so you can stay on top of things in your bookshelf.

Guess I will head to the beach and go catch some gnarly waves.


I was having a blast, the swells were fantastic for surfing, when suddenly.....
a most massive and totally radical wave came out of no where and I lost control and
landed head first in the sand of _-CSI-_'s beachscape!

Congrats! You have won a free month account upgrade and a trophy for your profile!

The upcoming closure and deletion of accounts and data is still scheduled for August 15th. User submitted art, characters, and other information will not be retained.

Please save any data you wish to keep before this date. It is not recommended to wait until August 15th, as the server will become unavailable during the day on the 15th.

Further archival is still planned.
Species information is available on the Lythbound Toyhou.se. The Symphonies, Lilipeeps, Nudinyms, and Pompips species have reverted ownership to their previous owners and will not be archived by us, nor released under CC licensing.
Open sourcing of the source code has been delayed and likely will not be available before the server goes offline. Collaborative code needs to be removed from the source, and health/burnout has simply made this difficult to attend to. However all code is saved and this will still be possible to complete after server closure. Miscellaneous site assets are in a similar situation -- these will remain backed up to be released later.

Thank you for playing Lythbound.

Our July/August giftpack is now available in the Upgrade Center. Each giftpack could contain a mix of food, drink and stuffies.

The poll booth has a new poll available for you.

This time, we would like to know:

Warrior's Way is a battle-themed event calling for warriors, smiths, armorers, and other ferocious creatures to prove their metal and their mettle!

[Image Description: Banner reads "Warrior's Way: An event showcasing the finest warriors of Sornieth!" A guardian dragon with curved horns and facial frills looks back over her shoulder at the castle in the background. She is wearing segmented armor in shades of muted red. The seams of the armor have vibrant color pouring out, and what looks to be eyes...]



Welcome to Warrior's Way!

Warrior's Way will run from 06:00 server time on August 9th to 06:00 server time on August 19th this year. Please read the pamphlet above for more information on this fantastic event!

A Lore Note From Willow, Warrior¢s Way Coordinator:
We at Warrior¢s Way are thrilled to announce amenities funding from the merchants of The Grand Exchange! We¢d especially like to thank Arvelle for her generous donation towards our food budget. She is rather keen on acquiring the discarded trash from this years event, so do be sure to stop by and provide her with whatever you are able to collect. She even hands out trophies for your efforts, and we applaud her enthusiasm with keeping the battlefield free of debris.

Finally, we regret to announce that the first Warrior¢s Way champion will not be joining us this year¢¦or any year after.

(On a related note: The duties and responsibilities of the Champion do not¢I REPEAT, DO NOT¢include confronting Luminax, of all the blasted Spiral-brained egotistical¢ahem. The Champion is not called upon to actually champion in actual combat. We thank you for your understanding and for your cooperation in this matter.)
