UPDATE on the new Jorvik Wild Horses!

Star Stable finally released the teaser trailer and we now have names for the new horses: Tellina and Kampos! 

There is no official release date yet. I'm still guessing second week of Midsummer Festival.

SPOILER ALERT! The Next Jorvik Wild Horse!

Star Stable released concept art for the next Jorvik Wild Horse! 

View the concept art here: https://www.instagram.com/p/canxmdsbgyl/

It's a seahorse, or what some are calling a Seashell Horse. I'm still looking for confirmation on the name. 

Now here's when I think it will release. 

I think it will come for the annual Midsummer Festival.

Midsummer happens every year in June.

This year if I'm correct it will start Wednesday, June 17th. The Sakura & Birch JWH came the second week of the festival last year, so the so-called "Seashell Horses" should come Wednesday, June 24th. The horses last year stayed for 4 weeks. 

From what people are guessing the horses will be between 650-850 SC, unless they have an unknown special move.  

The colors are Pearl (the reddish tinted one, supposedly the pearlino Akhal-Teke) and the blue tinted does not have a color name yet. 

My opinion: They are definitely a little odd and creepy in the concept art, but I'm saving up so if the blue one looks not creepy once we know it's look in game I will buy it. Otherwise I'll probably skip it like I did Sakura & Birch. 

So start saving up, my friends, if you want the horses! 

And stay tuned for a post of Ocean themed names for them.

Thoughts and Theories #1: Soul Riders Book 1

Intro
I finally finished the first Star Riders book and I'm so excited to share my thoughts and theories, which brought me to a new post idea: Thoughts and Theories. Basically each post will have to do with my thoughts and theories on things, whether it's a book or a YouTube video, to do with SSO.

So without further ado...

Thoughts and Theories #1: Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling by Helena Dahlgren.

First, if you haven't read the book, you can find it wherever books are sold, or probably right now in e-books. I have it on my Amazon Kindle fire tablet. 

Second, because this is a Thoughts and Theories post there may be spoilers to the book and the game. 

Thoughts:

First, I love that the story tells about the Soul Riders before they even knew they were Soul Riders. Also I was super excited that Lisa seemed to be the main focus of the first book as she is my favorite of the Soul Riders. I really enjoyed learning more about her story and her personality.

My first question though, since the story reveals more about her dad, will we ever see him in game? Or is he the "Carl" that was seen in the quests in Jorvik City? This will bring me to Theory #1. 

The next thing is about Linda. In the book she's living with her Aunt Amal and her cat Misty. So when will will meet her Aunt Amal? (Theory #2)

We also now know that Anne lives in Jorvik City, in a place called Millionaire's Row (Theory #3) and a little more about Alex's personality.

Lisa and her Dad find a house near Jarlaheim. Where is it in game? (Theory #4)

And last for now but definitely not least: There's a school called Jorvik Academy for the Performing Arts. (Theory #5).

Theories:

1. Where's Carl?: Lisa's dad, Carl, is hired by Dark Core. Why haven't we seen him in game yet? The only npc named Carl with a storyline that's near to it is Carl Edelman, assistant to Mr. Anwir. Except there's no proof that Mr. Anwir or Carl Edelman worked with DC. Also we know that Lisa's last name is Peterson. Wouldn't Carl share the same last name, or did the Peterson name come from Lisa's mom and Carl is Carl Edelman?

2. Where's Aunt Amal?: We've been in Linda's room now. Where's her Aunt Amal? Will we ever see her in game? Or did Linda move out to her own apartment?

3. Millionaire's Row: I'm thinking this place is in Governor's Fall, same place where Anastasia Silverglade lives. 

4. Lisa's House: Unfortunately I don't have much to go by for this, other than Jorvik Stables is close by. So it's either in Jarlaheim or possibly Epona.

5. Jorvik Academy of the Performing Arts: Lisa applies to go this school. I'm guessing because of the saving the world thing she doesn't go. But does it exist, or will it exist in game in some form? Perhaps in Jorvik City, in some type of quest? 

One last mystery now I want to point out: 

The Case of the Missing Dog.

As seen here: 

https://news-uploads.starstable.com/old/news/281/silverglade.jpg

If you zoom in, right next to the town hall, Disco the dog sits on a barrel. You might know the dog from posters seen in Jarlaheim, Jorvik City Mall, and the Fort Pinta Disco. However quite recently Disco no longer sits upon his barrel. Where did the dog go? Why was he there before, and why isn't he now?

More Info on Disco here:

A small update.

I've been a little behind on posting here lately. I'm deciding to do a couple posts in the future:

Reviewing new horses, and adding pages for them so you can locate their information easily.

My thoughts on the new looks of Jorvik and newly updated horses

My favorite fashion looks on Jorvik... maybe a weekly thing?

My progress on Soul Riding.

Got any more ideas for what I could write about, related to SSO? Write them in the comments!

I'm also definitely going to write my thoughts on the Soul Riders book, so stay tuned for that.

Welcome to the Wild West!

Ever since I first heard about Starshine Ranch coming... well... I knew I'd enjoy it.

The ranch is beautiful and will most likely become a roleplaying spot for many people!

I love the new races, it just feels like you're in a rodeo!
I'm curious if they do group races what that would be like.

I also like finding the lost animals. The ones that require herding, though sometimes annoying, are a lot of fun!

So far I like the new American Quarter Horses. I have a few weeks left until I can get them.

That's all for now.

Update Review: Spotted Horses, Soul Riding, and Sneak Peeks.

Hey everyone, Ruby Skywalker here with a new update review for 2020!

Knabstruppers

Star Stable welcomed the Knabstrupper horses into Jorvik and I think they're beautiful!

I've welcomed a Chestnut Few Spot Leopard Knabstrupper named Moonbeam into my stable.

These horses cost 750 sc and are found at a new stable beside Jorvik Stables. They come in the colors Black Blanket, Bay Extended Blanket, Bay Snowflake, Chestnut Few Spot Leopard, Chestnut Leopard, and Steel Grey Near Leopard.

The description says:
 "It's hard not to be amazed when you first lay eyes on the charming and bold Knabstrupper. With its distinctive spotted coat and history interwoven with royalty, this a breed that truly stands out from the rest.
Though the Knabstrupper officially became a breed in 1812, their roots trace back to the royal lineage of Fredriksborg descended from Spanish Warhorses. Royalty of the Baroque period adored them, as they were well-suited to expressing their joie de vivre: a carefree enjoyment of life. They were harnessed to royal carriages, and queens and kings would even ride them to their coronations. 
Their quirky coat pattern aren't spots, but instead are holes in a white blanket, revealing underlying color. This delicate coat pattern was nearly bred out to extinction, as people often confused the dominant white gene with the gray gene, creating genetic chaos. The Knabstrupper faced further adversity in 1891 when tragedy came to the breeding farm. A fire caused by lightning strike tore through Knabstruppgaard, and 22 horses perished in the flames. 
Knabstruppers are multi-talented horses and very quick learners, making them great performers and show horses. Their gentle and pleasant temperament will make exploring together a breeze, and their curious nature is sure to lead you both on exciting adventures. 
If you want to put on a show wherever you go and ride like royalty all around Jorvik, look no further than the striking Knabstrupper. "

I'm super excited and happy about welcoming Moonbeam to my stable and I definitely plan to get another Knabstrupper in the near future!

Soul Riding

So far I'm enjoying the daily tasks, though they've basically just redone the old soul rider minigames. I'm going to list them in order of my favorite to least favorite, and a 1-3 star difficulty (1 being super easy 3 being extremely hard)

Symbols [🌟] - Standing on the correct symbol called; Sun 🌞, Moon 🌙, Star 🌟 or Lighting ⚡
Ghost Catch [🌟] (Used to be catching butterflies) - Simply run and jump around to collect ghosts.
Changing Lanes [🌟🌟]- This is riding in circles but changing lanes when directed.
Jump Carousel [🌟🌟]- Jumping over poles on a thing that spins. Just don't let the red pole catch up to you.
Shockwaves [🌟🌟]- Jumping over the shockwaves as they cross the arena.
Dodging Falling Things [🌟🌟] - Riding around while dodging what falls from the sky.
Shadow Seeker Dodging [🌟🌟] - Riding around while avoiding shadow seekers.
Catching a Runner (A new minigame) [🌟🌟🌟] - Staying near a orb that teleports awsy to drain it's power.

This also brings new daily missions, which I'm yet to unlock, but I'm thinking it's the same minigames, but in different locations around Jorvik, but harder since you only get one try per daily mission.

However, we do have an EPIC reward to look forward to: A Horse!
