That's a pretty big deal, but we've also got our usual monthly fun- including not one, but three winners for last month's Monster of the Month contest!

Sing glory of the animal tribes' champions!

Of Echidna, Wolf, and Slime

Who guard the lives of their kin,

Tho nary among them rhyme!

Next we have a new content pack for all our Patreon backers!

In this month's patreon-exclusive content, Treasures of Loh Tabeth, you'll learn of an ancient civilization and terrible, mystical artifacts they created! These strange, powerful artifacts are fully statted out for use in your own Yeld adventures, and beautifully illustrated by special guest artist D.M.G.!

Ready to take a stab at imagining up a new monster for Yeld?

This Month's Monster theme: Pirates of Yeld!

Piracy has a long history in the magical land. Before the First Kings came to Yeld Fairy pirates sailed from coastal fortresses to harass and wage war on their neighboring tribes. Later, Toothfacer raiders battled with Sea Turtle Marines and Walrus Tribe Corsairs for territory. Piracy changed forever when the The Deep emerged to wage war on Prince Dragul. Squidmen Corsairs and Mermaid Pirates become common sights along every coast, and soon every fishing village, port and riverway was infested with Pi-rats! In response, the Prince commissioned Vampire privateers to patrol Yeld's coasts, and constructed a great fleet of massive Fairy dreadnaughts!

Your challenge: Design a pirate (or sailor, marine, corsair or privateer)! Your pirate can be any type of Monster, as long as they love the sea! Include a Sea Shanty Blue Spell that your Monster can "sing"!

Lastly, we're taking a look forward at what's in store for Yeld in the coming year!

This is gonna be Yeld's biggest year yet!

Phew, we were barely able to carry all that news! I now pronounce you fully informed on what's up in Yeld, and hope that you'll stick with us, for richer and for poorer, through whatever the coming months may bring!
