SERVER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Serpent House finished off the first quarter of 2025 with a bang, taking victory in this year's first House Cup! Their victory was achieved through an outstanding 16,261 points, though followed closely by the Griffins. To celebrate, talk to the Carnage Count NPC just outside of the Great Hall to be transported to a serpent-themed victory event and claim some on-theme Serpent House items to commemorate their win! Incredible work, and we encourage all houses to keep it up in hopes of claiming victory in the next House Cup awarded in June.

Some of our player favorites made a return, as well as some magical creature-themed items for all our animal lovers.
