Sike! Our actual April Character of the Month is our beloved Amaranth, not that stinky Dream Visitor guy who regularly hijacks our Narrator account.
On to other important news: seeing as how the team got SUPER busy this month with travel and other external life things, the BWP finale has been postponed to April 14th.
As such, to cause minimal timeline hiccups and ensure people can continue posting present-day until then, it is now assumed that the BWP Door Threads are forward-dated and taking place on the 14th instead of the 1st.
(If you need help handling something related to the shift, feel free to ping staff and we can assist you!)
This also means that any stragglers who haven't gotten their characters in a Door yet still have the opportunity to do so.
I know some of y'all are also anxious to know the outcome of your characters' choices (a light bruise? A lost limb? DEATH?), so those who simply can't wait until then are free to message staff and inquire.
Thanks for hanging in there, and apologies for the delay. <3

LOOK WHAT YOU DID! You maniacs blew it up!
Ugh... even worse, the Dream Visitor is April's Character of the Month. He doesn't even have an account! What sorcery is this?!
Well, at any rate, it's Vivarium's 3rd birthday, and you know what that means - cake! Come claim your slice here!

The Runes have all been found. The hunt is over.
A final dream falls across the creatures of Mythris, revealing a long-buried tragedy that now turns every gaze toward the Dream Visitor and the role he has played in the calamity now tearing the world apart.
As the land continues to split and fracture, hope begins to fade - but at last your efforts bear fruit. Every Rune uncovered from the past year is called forth from every corner of the continent, drawn together by the Dream Visitor’s will. Their power gathers in a great surge… and before you, three portals open.
You may choose only one. Each path is vital to restoring Mythris and resisting the terrible fate that looms on the horizon.
Only together can you succeed - now, the ending of this story is yours to shape until 4/1.

The sea roils and the air hums with a strange, electric pulse. You dream as the Moving Isle stirs again, not as a balm to Mythris’s unstable power, but now as an unexpected agent of wrath. Great fissures have suddenly torn open across all of Mythris, gaping wounds spreading throughout the continent that grow ever more numerous the closer the Isle drifts.
What could this mean for Mythris? And what's this about a two-week timer? Click here to participate in the exciting (maybe, hopefully) beginning to our conclusion of our Board Wide Plot.

The moderator vote has concluded, and we’re excited to share the results! Middy and Rosie Partytime are returning, and we’re thrilled to welcome Calico as our newest team member.
As a small treat, check out the Skills page in the Guidebook to explore three brand new Skill Trees as well: Death-Touched, Curator, and Naturalist.
Curator and Gravedigger have been moved from the Miscellaneous tree into their new branches. Thank you to everyone who participated in our close moderator poll - we had some fantastic candidates! Have a wonderful week.

Staff would like to thank everyone who applied for a moderator position! We had a great turn out! It is time for part two, where we ask the community to vote for the 3 members they'd like to appoint as Viv's next moderators! Remember, this is for a 6-month rotation!
Please vote here! The community vote will end in one week, on Tuesday, February 24th. Thank you!

Congratulations to Highwayman Howff for their successful formation in Verdigris Row! We can't wait to see how they progress as they settle into their new home.
In other news, by popular demand, you may now earn a shiny new badge related to our Valentine's Day event - now get in there and huff some flames! This can be acquired in addition to one of the other 'rainbow flames' earned during the Board Wide Plot.

How strange - all the fires now glow with a pink flame rather than the rainbow previously witnessed. With the strange new color, there is also a strange odor emanating from the flames. The effects can be read about here.....when we asked for someone to turn up the heat, maybe this wasn't what had in mind.

One more small update regarding safety! After member suggestion, we have now launched a new feature: the Ignore List. This is a new safety feature implemented by CJ, and you can read more about what it is and how it works here. Feel free to contact staff with any questions!

Hi everyone! As previously shared, we’ve completed revisions to Vivarium’s disciplinary framework based on member feedback and internal review. These updates are now live in the Guidebook. You can view our updated information on discipline here. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

With the newest artifact discovered, the denizens of Mythris dream once more, and have awakened to find the plagues lifted in their entirely; but as with every silver lining, there is still a cloud. Literally. A lot of them - why is it so dark, and how did it get so cold, so quickly? More importantly, what does this mean for you? Click here to find out more about the latest BWP development, the Frozen Mourning!
12/19/2025, 4:18 PM
As a follow up to our earlier conversations surrounding the updates to Viv's disciplinary system and reintegration framework, we want to pause and gather community feedback.
We’re launching a community survey today and keeping it open until January 5th to give everyone adequate time to read, reflect, and share their thoughts! This feedback will help inform how the program is rolled out and implemented. Click here to participate in the community survey!

We have some exciting announcements! First off, a huge welcome to our newest group, Tianlong - they've put in a lot of work to get here, and have now settled comfortably in Verdant's Grace.
Secondly, with feedback from the community, we have adjusted our Skills system to better reflect the relaxed nature of Vivarium. Fewer points are now required for each Skill tier, and can be seen in the Guidebook here.
We have also, at member suggestion, crafted a guideline section to help users know what actions qualify for earning each Skill.
Unfortunately, we do have some sad news as well; Seikii has disbanded, and the Ichorwood now lays unclaimed. We hope they may return one day, and wish them all the best!

[18+]Under the influence of the pink flame—and his own poor judgment— Alaric infiltrates Dawnbreak with ill intent. Though members swiftly apprehend him, it is ultimately the Pillar of Power, Tiberii, who deals the fatal blow.

Pharaoh, Queen, family and residents from Satriya's sister pack arrive, and messily. And now their formal meeting in the holy throne room turns turbulent.
