Heavens - it seems another daylight cycle has come and gone. So soon, might I add. Perhaps, what they say is true: you work not a day in your life when you love the work you do.

Well, let's take a look at what we started with-

We’ve come to call him the Conduit of Delirium. Those visited by him often awaken abruptly—confused, disoriented, unsure of where they are or who, exactly, they’d just seen. Only on the rarest occasions does someone return with their mind intact enough to describe the encounter. And even then, their words come carefully, as if speaking of him too clearly might draw him near once more.

Perhaps that's why I couldn't remember just how I received the original manuscript, but it seems it matters not anymore since my job is to spread the tales of our Calamities:

In the quiet before revelation, when the veil between worlds thins, he arrives. They call him the silent courier, born not of flesh, but of omen and dusk. With wings like fallen leaves and weeping eyes, he speaks no words, yet carries truths no voice could bear. His messages come in riddles, memories, or dreams—meant only for those willing to listen.

The night seems endless, with pages upon pages of failed translations discarded, progress slipping back to nothing. And yet, through sheer stubbornness alone, we’ve pressed on.

The Keeper of Dreams is, perhaps, the most fitting name we could offer him. Strangely, this figure has appeared across many accounts—whether seen in true dreams or conjured by restless minds, no one can say for certain. But one thing remains: the Keeper of Dreams is known to those who slumber.

They say sleep is a gentle veil—but in its folds, Dream waits. Neither nightmare nor savior, it lingers where    forgotten fears still breathe. Silent and watchful, it sorts dream from delusion. To the restless, it offers only truth. And should darker forces creep in, it bares its teeth—for not all dreams are meant to be kept, and not all nightmares seek to harm.

If you would like to add the Keeper to your pledge, simply add on an extra enamel pin via add-ons as it matches the same pricing as the original 9.

I must have dozed off at some point during my attempts to translate this piece. I can't, in total honesty, say whether I did encounter the Keeper or not, but when I snapped to, I found yet another uncyphered document. I'm curious to know how it came into my possession, but even more curious on what this Calamity might unveil.

Take a look; can you guess what it might be?

It seems like the work never ends, but worry not - for I love what I do!

I'll be honest and let you know, this one might be difficult to transcribe for I'll be in the midst of traveling for the next day or so. In a blink of an eye, I'll be in Germany (for the first time) and I'll be adventuring off to Dokomi in Dusseldorf. If you happen to be in the area and attending, consider visiting me and my booth in Hall 4 @ 4B13! 

Oh, good afternoon! Good evening? I don't know the time anymore-

Any who, I didn't expect us to reach our current progress point for a little while longer, but I was feeling rather motivated and chugged some extra coffee and got to work on translating the ancient script into modern text.

Here, we have Herald of Dirge - a serpent like dragon who serves as a ferry for those who've passed:

When mourning drapes the world in silence, Dirge awakens, moving unseen through the twilight, singing the final songs of those who passed. Its voice stills restless hearts and eases those who grieve. To the lost souls adrift ‘twixt the worlds, Dirge's song, a beacon, guides gently to the realms beyond. In its song, mourning finds rest - and in its passage, souls are led to rest.

Dirge will have his own add-on tier/pledge. He's a big boy so he'll cost a little bit more to produce! Please give me a few minutes once this post is live to update the campaign.

That being said, whilst I was translating Dirge's script, I discovered another writing of yet another Calamity. The sheets were stuck together, unfortunate that it was kept in such poor condition, but I think I should be able to make out the texts and translate it as well. Take a look at what's available to us now:

Give me a little bit of time, I should be able to work something out.

Thank you for your support in making this campaign happen.
I'm absolutely ecstatic that we're already fully funded, and that means I'll get to create more goodies and flesh out this world I've created. 

We'll keep in touch!

Good morning, everyone! 

This comes as a slightly late update to the launch of the campaign, but I'm excited to see it up and running. If you have any questions, please feel free to message via the updates or DM me on social media or e-mail me!

I'm super nervous about this campaign as it's a fully original piece with more lore than I intended for. I hope you guys enjoy the story I've concocted on this world I've yet to name.

That being said, we've funded 3 out of the 9 total base designs.
We're working our way to Deprivation:

For this campaign, I first came up with the name: Deprivation - and then I brainstormed which creature would best fit the name. In this case, a whale! Not all whales, but some species of whales travel in pods, or a social group. However, deprivation came into play when I thought about the 52-hertz whale, who sings at a different frequency from the others. It was a fitting name in that it is deprived of being able to find its pod and a mate.

Anyway, an accidental fun fact in that every creature ties into its name somehow.

Thank you guys for your support thus far!
I'm excited to see where this goes~

We have the 'stretch goal' creatures - which I am capping at 3 additional beings and some print works in store once we surpass those goals!!
