We have an influx of Saurians after the war. A colony of 26 Tepetlisaur Whelps has been located at Ochkanatlan, and there are many Qucusaurs and Iktomisaurs we have yet to account for. With the help of the Saurian Riders and Elder Tlapo, we have been searching for the missing Saurians. We hope to find them all soon. And we thank the Collective of Plenty and Children of Echoes for the supplies and help in construction, as well as the couriers from the Scions of the Canopy for delivering the supplies. The posters from the People of the Springs have been extremely helpful in spreading the word, and we thank Chief Biram for the woven scroll made in honor of Witz. We would also like to thank Ifa and Mazkal for the medical aid, and we will send staff with experience in medicine to aid you two in return.

ANNOUNCEMENT 5!

Lady Mavuika used the power of the six heroes to stop the Night War! Thanks to the heroes!

"Kiongozi" <Leader> Mavuika

"Umoja" <Unity> Mualani

"Malipo" <Turnfire/Price> Kinich

"Baraka" <Blessing> Xilonen

"Uwezo" <Strength> Iansan

"Bidii" <Devotion> Ororon

"Vuka" <Transcendence> Chasca

We will continue to house most of our remaining Saurians at the Stadium for the time being while the Children of Echoes and Collective of Plenty help us in repairing our facility, as well as adding accomodations for Qucusaurs and Iktomisaurs with the guidance of the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind. These should be ready in a month or so, if all goes according to plan.

[saurian-haven]

ANNOUNCEMENT 4!

The transport groups have arrived at the Stadium, but not without incident. Yokib suffered injuries and is now ill from Abyssal corruption. We would also like to honor our fallen Tepetlisaurus, Witz, who bravely gave his life to hold off the Abyss monsters while the rest of the group retreated to safety. After this invasion, we will add a memorial to our facility in his honor so his sacrifice will not be forgotten. As of now, all we can do is pray for victory in this war. May Natlan burn bright once again!

[saurian-haven]

ANNOUNCEMENT 3!

All of our Saurian Whelps have been safely transported to the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, along with most of our remaining staff. The last of our staff and Saurians will soon head out to guide people to the Stadium, as well as defend against the Abyss attacks. Our facility is no longer safe for anyone to wait out the invasion, so we urge everyone to focus on getting to the Stadium as soon as possible.

[saurian-haven]

ANNOUNCEMENT 2!

With the increase of attacks from the Abyss, we are temporarily relocating all of our Saurians to the Stadium along with our remaining staff. If anyone would like to join us in getting to the Stadium, please find one of our transport groups and we will get you there now.

The Saurian Whelps under our care are being transported first, both to ensure their safety and have them present for any fellow Natlanese people who may need companionship while the warriors fight the Abyss. We will then transport our weaker Adults, then the Saurians who can protect our staff and anyone accompanying the group.

After this is resolved, we will keep our Saurians at the Stadium and proceed with work on our facility expansion to accomodate Qucusaurs and Iktomisaurs. We will continue to update everyone as the situation changes, and pray for Natlan's victory. May Natlan burn as brightly as ever!

[saurian-haven]

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Most of our staff from the Scions of the Canopy are currently on leave per Lady Mavuika's orders, as well as anyone who can fight, and we are temporarily closing our facility due to the increasing Abyss attacks. We apologize to all of our visitors for this abrupt change, but keeping our Saurians safe is our top priority. Thank you for understanding!

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Chilkayul

SPECIES:

Koholasaurus

AGE:

Whelp

PERSONALITY:

Chilkayul is a very young Koholasaur, hatched in our facility and requiring a lot of care. He does not have Xiuhcoatl's Blessing, but his natural Phlogiston level is extremely high regardless. This causes him to lash out when he's not eating or asleep. As such, he isn't yet able to be in the visitor interaction site.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Chilkayul most enjoys snacking on frozen treats with no Phlogiston, so we import popsicles from other nations.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Pibnah

SPECIES:

Tepetlisaurus

AGE:

Juvenile

PERSONALITY:

Pibnah is a silly Saurian, enjoying the water more than most Tepetlisaurs. Elemental analysis has indicated that Pibnah seems to have vestigial Koholasaurus traits, perhaps being a descendant of a small population of early Koholasaurs that used their adaptability to instead become like Tepetlisaurs, yet losing this adaptability in the process. As such, Pibnah is often studied by the Saurian Relics Association and Amurta researchers from Sumeru to learn more about Saurians and Vishaps.

She is mild-mannered as a result, though she isn't afraid to establish her boundaries if visitors push her buttons.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Pibnah loves Fish and Grainfruit, eating Spinel Fruit as a treat whenever she gets the chance. We recommend that all visitors keep their bags on them as a result, since she has torn them up before.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Witz

SPECIES:

Tepetlisaurus

AGE:

Adult

PERSONALITY:

Witz was a work-oriented Saurian who was often borrowed by the Children of Echoes for mining operations. When in the gear for mining, he was extremely focused on his task and would ensure everyone's safety.

In the facility, when he didn't have a job to do, he enjoyed sunbathing and racing with Yokib, getting along well with his fellow Tepetlisaurs.

In the Abyss invasion, Witz proved his caring and brave spirit by fending off the Abyss monsters while the rest of the transport group ran to the Stadium. In the process, he gave his life for Natlan. His name will never be forgotten, his sacrifice an act of heroism we must honor fully.

FAVORITE FOODS:

The most preferred meal for Witz was a large portion with plenty of Grainfruit and various meats. Beyond that. Witz would eat any added vegetables and other foods.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Tunich

SPECIES:

Tepetlisaurus

AGE:

Adult

PERSONALITY:

Tunich is a cranky young adult Tepetlisaur, showing wary hostility towards strangers. Due to this, we recommend all visitors keep their distance until she grows familiar with you.

When she trusts a human though, she's extremely cuddly and affectionate towards them and will even try to leave with them.

After the events of the Night War, Tunich has become depressed and unmotivated. This is most likely due to Witz bravely giving his life to protect the rest of his transport group. Witz was a mentor to her, and losing him dealt a major blow to her. In time with proper care, she will recover, but as of now she is barely even eating, let alone having the energy to interact with visitors.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Tunich most enjoys meals of chopped slow-roasted Candlecap Mushrooms and Shroomboar Meat from Sumeru. Given that we aren't willing to bring Shroomboars into Natlan, we instead marinate Boar Steaks in normal Mushroom powder to imitate the flavor.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Yatik

SPECIES:

Yumkasaurus

AGE:

Whelp

PERSONALITY:

Like her older brother, Yatik silently watches everyone within her field of view and will not eat while observed. When introduced to other Yumkasaur Whelps and separated from Sijom, she imitates their behaviors instead and becomes much more sociable.

FAVORITE FOODS:

From what we've gathered, Yatik enjoys Spinel Fruit the most, eating it before any other food offered to her.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Sijom

SPECIES:

Yumkasaurus

AGE:

Whelp

PERSONALITY:

Sijom is a curious little Saurian, behaving like Zamu at first glance but never making a sound. He silently watches everyone, and will not eat while observed. This behavior may seem unusual, but reminds us that not all Saurians behave in a way humans might expect. His younger sister exhibits the same behavior, so it may be a learned behavior from their missing parents.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Due to Sijom's behavior, we are uncertain of his favorite foods at present. We will update this if we ever figure it out though!

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Kayom

SPECIES:

Koholasaurus

AGE:

Whelp

PERSONALITY:

Kayom is lazy and easily distracted, running off when staff aren't looking. He greatly enjoys sleeping half in the water and half on the shore, making the act of waking him up difficult. He does enjoy head pats and tummy rubs, so we recommend that visitors who find him snoozing away try these before getting him out of the water.

FAVORITE FOODS:

He enjoys Spray-Feather Gills like most Koholasaurs, but keeping him from eating too many at once is a struggle.

VISITOR UPDATE!

It has been brought to our attention that our visitors seem to be unaware of the full extent of our facility, and so we have decided to provide visitors with a page serving as a directory in addition to our pamphlet. We hope this will help our visitors find their way around!

@saurian-haven

This is the reception desk, with a scrapbook of our resident Saurians that we update every day. It also has our posted Saurian of the Day and pamphlets for distribution.

@saurian-playpen

This is where our visitors can meet our resident Saurians, interact with them, and hopefully find their companion!

@saurian-babycam

This is where we share pictures and videos of our residents going about their day so our visitors can see how our Saurians are doing!

@saurian-facts

This is our Daily Saurian Facts board, to educate our visitors about Saurians and their common behaviors.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Punje

SPECIES:

Yumkasaurus

AGE:

Adult

PERSONALITY:

Punje is a passive Yumkasaur that enjoys napping much of the time. He keeps the whelps out of trouble when he's awake, distracting them with demonstrations of how to use Flamegranate Pectin.

He never bites, but we'd prefer if visitors still respect his boundaries and treat him properly.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Sweet Quenepa Berries are his favorite, so we grow them year-round in a climate-controlled greenhouse for the convenience of visitors who want to give him a treat at the playpen.

SAURIAN OF THE DAY!

NAME:

Yokib

SPECIES:

Tepetlisaurus

AGE:

Adult

PERSONALITY:

Yokib was a diligent and grounded Saurian, always ready to help out with renovations and caring for the younger Tepetlisaurs.

He isn't afraid to assert himself, and if he doesn't like a visitor he will make it known immediately by warning them that they should leave.

After the Night War across Natlan, Yokib is ill and easily agitated due to exposure to the Abyss. Considering his condition, we will no longer be allowing visitors to interact with him until he recovers.

FAVORITE FOODS:

Spinel Fruit is a favorite, though Yokib also eats Flamegranates as a treat.

Note that Tepetlisaurs do not eat Flamegranates in the wild, and Yokib needs them due to a lower level of natural Phlogiston. Otherwise, we strongly recommend against feeding Tepetlisaurs Flamegranates without asking a doctor like Ifa.
