It is I, Cecil the Wizard! It’s been some time since my last letter. But I bring you news… and a call to action.
Since receiving my royal decree from the Phoenix King, Phoebe and I have journeyed far and wide. With feathers singed and wings tested, we’ve rallied some of the realm’s most powerful phoenixes to our cause.
But the skies grow darker.
The nightmares are still out there, and although we have done quite a lot, we're still not ready to take them all on. To defend our home, we’ll need more than might.
It was Phoebe’s idea: a grand concert! A harmony so breathtaking, so radiant, that it stirs every phoenix soul in the realm.
And leading this bold crescendo?
The Pride Phoenixes.
Brilliant, brave, and burning with truth, they will be our guiding flame. With them at the front, we will not just resist the nightmares, we will rise above them.
Backerkit is a crowdfunding site like IndieGoGo or Kickstarter. Pledge your support to Fly With Pride to unlock phoenix pins as a reward! We're running the campaign a tad differently this time, with ALL phoenixes unlocking at our funding level. Once we hit the $5,000 mark, all fourteen pride phoenixes will be unlocked!
You won't be charged if we don't hit our funding goal. After we fund, we'll keep you up to date on production of the pins and we'll ship them out to every backer!
Once the campaign ends, you’ll receive a survey to select your chosen phoenix designs and finalize shipping costs. Shipping will be paid separately through the survey process, and you can even pick up additional add-ons if you like!
This special edition Drag Pride Pin is loaded with glitter, 2 inches tall, and each one will be individually numbered. We're only printing a maximum of 200 of these, so make sure you grab them fast!

Want a reward for your hard work? Well we have the thing for you! When you finish 3 or more quests (Buy from 3 campaigns or more) you will get a Reward from each one! This can range from spell bottles, to books, to companions, to anything we think will help you as you travel.
If you include us as one of your 3 campaigns, you'll get this flag-waving Cecil design as a hard enamel pin.
Enamel pins can take a while to produce, but we've luckily done some preparation work ahead of time. We've previously worked with our manufacturer to produce over 2,000 pins for our last campaign and we're confident in their quality.
Early June: Campaign Launch! Late June: Campaign Ends July: Surveys go out! August: Production Begins! September: Production Ends! September - October: Pins are shipped out!
We're looking to have a fast turnaround time, but delays can happen. We want to make sure we deliver a solid looking pin to you. We will do our best to ensure we are communicating throughout the entire process as the pins get made and as shipping begins.
Please be aware, that shipping will be collected after the campaign has successfully funded. We do this to ensure that we don't have to overcharge or undercharge for shipping costs.
We always try to search around for the best prices for shipping and will try to find the best rates at the time of shipping. These rates are subject to change.
Also, we are happy to announce that we do Ship to the EU! We have recently completed the steps required by the GPSR to ship into the EU!
Important for International Backers: Any regional taxes and import fees will be the responsibility of the backer. They are not collected with your pledge.
