Support! I think adding events throughout the year would be nice, especially if they don't need any new content drawn (like new items, which I think is the cause of delay for some of the bigger events year-round).

Concepts, written as dialogue from a hypothetical event NPC:

1. Ethernian Puffadores on the Loose

"A pack of puffadores from a famous breeding kennel in Ethernia went loose a few months ago, and lately we've heard reports of puffadores resembling the kennel's signature colors roaming in The Lost Grove. The owners of the puffadores put out a reward for anyone who can catch and return their beloved pets to them, maybe you can keep an eye out?"

- Can function similar to the Ethernia task of finding Tinkerbelle in the Sweet Apple Orchard (walking around and random low chance trigger of finding the Puffadore as an item to return)
- Or the Puffadore can be part of a bigger event with a boss (either a monster has to be defeated to rescue the puff from deep within the Grove, or the Nightfall Bandits caged it)
- A theme based on Ethernian or natural colors, or maybe a hybrid between wild colors and mutations colored with gold/luxurious accents
- Can even incorporate the exclusive naming system, which can have its own contest for users to submit keywords into the pool

2. Peter Pan and the Lost Puffs

"There have been reports of Puffadores causing mischief around the barracks as of late. It's unusual to see stray Puffadores in the wild here. Can you take a look into it while you're out there?"

- Could involve an NPC who raises a clutch of Puffadores, exclusively colored and themed to be Lost Grove-themed (instead of having a more kingdom-based coloration like in Concept 1)
- Could involve a quest in catching these rambunctious Puffs, which can either put up a fight or not (leading to a battle with puffs, which you can try capturing with a snare)
- At the end of the quest, you're gifted an exclusive egg for the Puff's theme
- Or in general just have a theme of Lost Puffadores out in the wild for a certain amount of time

3. Ny'vene 'Napping by the Nightfall Bandits

"We asked the Ethernian Army for Sylestian help around the barracks, so they sent us a couple of tamed Ny'vene to help guard the settlements. However, the escorts were ambushed by those darned Nightfall Bandits, and they somehow got away, taking the Ny'vene with them. Please help us, with the Ny'vene in the wrong hands, innocents in the Lost Grove could be in grave danger!"

- A quest of fighting Nightfall Bandits to find clues to where they're hiding the captured Ny'vene
- Possibly fight some named bosses related to the quest
- And possibly fight those captured Ny'vene, as they were abused by the bandits and will attack anyone that tries to come close
- In the end, maybe free them to flee into the wilds in peace, or choose to try and subdue them to return to the guards at the barracks
- If they flee into the wilds, then maybe there can be a chance of a event themed Ny'vene spawning in the wild



I'd love to see stuff like this spice up the Lost Grove between Festival times! c:
