Jorvik Star Issue 17: January

 ☆Jorvik Star☆

Issue 17 ☆ January

A Note From the Editor...

Welcome to the first issue of 2023! I'll be trying to post an issue every month this year continuously. It will release towards the end of each month after the last Wednesday update releases unless Wednesday is the last day of the month, then it'll release the beginning of the following month. This year we're introducing the Jorvegian Recipes Column, and the Jorvik Fashion Column. Soon I hope to add in a Jorvegian DIY section, which will include fun DIY ideas to add a little of Jorvik to your world. Without further ado, let's get into this month's issue!

Horses of Jorvik

Horses of Jorvik is back for 2023. This month's race is located at the Jorvik Stables Arena. In case you don't know what Horses of Jorvik is, Guillermo and the Horses Of Jorvik Organization (HoJ) host special breed specific races. This month it is a Show Jumping Race for the Jorvik Warmblood,, Trakehner, and Belgian Warmblood. You'll get 500 xp, so be sure to add this race to your training routine if you're training one of the featured breeds!

The race will be here until February 8th.

Sale on Horses!

The Jorvik Warmblood and Trakehner have a 20% sale until February 8th, both costing just 590 SC each! 

You'll find both horses temporarily at the Horse Market until February 8th. You'll also find them at their normal locations, the Jorvik Warmblood in Crescent Moon Village and Paddock Island, and the Trakehner at Silverglade Manor and Goldenleaf Stables!

6 New Coat Variations

6 new coat variations have been added to the game: Two new American Paint Horses, found at Starshine Ranch for 850 SC; two new Tennessee Walking Horses, found at Starshine Ranch for 950 SC; one new Belgian Warmblood, found at Silverglade Equestrian Center for 850 SC; and one new Finnhorse, found at Firgrove for 850 SC.

Story Snacks - Caring for the Life Warden sapling.

A new mini-quest, or Story Snack, has been added to help care for the Life Warden Sapling. You'll need to be a Star Rider and have finished current main quests to do the story snacks. You'll continue these mini quests for the next few weeks. 

Rearranging Horses...

Three Generation 2 Morgans, two in Firgrove & one in Crescent Moon Village, have been moved to the Horse Market.

One Generation 2 Arabian in Firgrove has moved to Paddock Island.

The Jorvik Gazette 

Head to Jarlaheim to help Imane Highcantle and her trusty mare Sahara with the first edition of the Jorvik Gazette! You'll ride around Jarlaheim interviewing people and possibly learn some pretty cool facts. The coolest part is you'll decide which stories are going to be published. The quest line takes two days as there is a time block in the middle. You'll get fun daily quests afterwards that will be worth adding to your daily questing routine!

You'll need to have unlocked Epona and have opened the gates towards Crescent Moon Village and New Hillcrest to do the quest.

Jorvik Star Issue 15: End of Summer Recap

 ☆Jorvik Star☆

Issue 15 ☆ July & August

A Note From The Editor...

Welcome to the July & August issue of the Jorvik Star! In this issue we cover everything from new horses to returning favorites to fun events. I was super busy at the end of summer so this will be a recap of the two months I missed. 

**Oct. Edit: Didn't realize this was accidentally posted unfinished! It's now complete and updated**

The Perfect Percheron Horses...

In the beginning of July the Generation 3 Percheron horse was welcomed to Jorvik. 

Where You'll Find Them: Marley's Farm in Silverglade plus one in Fort Pinta for a limited time then it gets moves to Silverglade.

Pricing: 850 SC

What Level: Any level for the Fort Pinta one - level 7 for the rest. 

Colors: Light Gray, Dapple Gray, Dark Dapple Gray, Black, Chestnut and Bay.

*The Percheron has two mane styles available - a long mane or braided loops.

**The Percheron has a special move called the Moose Walk. It was trained by Jorvik Rangers to do the Moose walk to help it traverse marshy terrain. While at a walk, hold the shift key while asking the horse to go faster.

New Baroque Tack

The baroque tack has new versions of the bridles added without the horn. They currently only fit the Gen 3 Finn Horse, Gotland Pony, Friesian, Arabian, and Percheron.

New Quests with Maya Dew...

A new quest was added to help Maya Dew find her own horse companion. You'll learn about Maya's ancestral home, learn some of her family history, and shed some light on the mysterious Unfortunate Dews Farm. 

The Tellina and Kampos have Returned!

The seahorses Tellina and Kampos came back to Jorvik until September 1st.

Pricing: 850 SC

☆Kampos is a calming horse who's the perfect partner for a skittish rider. They are resolute to a fault though - you'll never meet a horse as stubborn as the Kampos.

☆Tellina shimmers like a pearl and loves all things shiny. Their sharp eyesight is a big help when looking for treasures, but while always looking for new, sparkly things, they are also very easily distracted.

Along with Tellina and Kampos, the Panda Rays returned to Jorvik, the Pearly Panda Ray and the Shimmery Panda Ray. You could adopt one for 400 SC. 

Jorvik Stables Open House 

The Annual Jorvik Stables Open House returned to Jorvik. 

☆The beautiful open house Dressage arena returned to the paddock beside Jorvik Stables.

☆Three races were available, one Show Jumping and two Cross Country races. 

☆Seven lovely limited time horses were available for adoption. Three grey Gen 2 Lipizzaners for 949 SC each; Two Gen 3 Lusitanos, one fleabitten grey and one liver Chestnut, for 949 SC each; a Gen 3 Buckskin Andalusian for 950 SC; and a Gen 3 black rabicano Arabian for 950 SC.

☆The Open House shop opened with two new colors for the Baroque sets available.

☆Hugh the vet-vet returned to make your horse happy - one horse once per day.

☆The Petting Zoo returned.

Linda's Show Jumping and Red String Trail Ride.

Linda came to Moorland for two weeks with her Show Jumping race. And the following week, the Annual Red String Trail Ride returned. 

Dragon Horses and Flying Wyvern Pets

Two new magic horses - the Dragon horses - Faramawr and Aldrach arrived to Jorvik. 

Price: 950 SC

☆Faramawr the Green dragon horse embodies prosperity and life thriving after disaster, like the fertile soil and new islands formed in the wake of volcanic eruption. They also represent the precious minerals and jewels born of fire. This is a proud beast who requires hard work and patience. But if you rise to the challenge and persist you will be rewarded with a trusted and devoted friend.

☆Aldrach the Red dragon horse is the embodiment of nature's destructive but necessary forces, such as volcanic eruptions. To see the crimson scales of Aldrach is a warning of oncoming disaster, but you will grow stronger if you can pass through the fire. They Fe passionate, as difficult to control as a volcano, but the rider who perseveres will be richly rewarded with a lifelong companion and a new inner strength.

Along with the dragon horses came their companion pets, Wyverns, Happandi and Kolandi, for 400 SC each.

I was able to adopt one, and chose the Faramawr, named Nacho. I really like the horse and hope they return someday so I can get Aldrach too.

A Horses of Jorvik Race on a Frozen Lake

Guillermo Gadea from Horses of Jorvik returned with a limited time new race in Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur. The race is only for the Friesian/Sport Friesian, Clydesdale, Fjord, Faramawr and Aldrach, Petra and Erinys, or Woodear and Pepita. 

New Riding Hall Space for Clubs

Clubs officially now have their own riding arena in Silverglade. Head to where you'd enter your clubhouse and you'll find the club arena there too! It's a big, beautiful club riding hall.

At the arena you'll find:

☆Boards to chose preplaced props - one with Show Jumping and two Working Equitation and an exclusive to the club arena board with Western Trail, Pole Bending, and Barrels. 

☆Stands to sit and watch.

☆A dj area where you can choose from Star Stable music to play.

☆A cafe area with tables.

☆Access to storage, so everyone can change their outfit and tack there.

☆A horse mane styling station, so manes can be braided right at the arena.

That's all for the summer recap!
