how the event works

as the clan submits their hallowversary works and entries, the candy scale above will begin to slowly fill. As we hit each milestone, an event will be released for the clan to participate in! This includes some incredible raffles with prizes such as decor, event applicators, ~ discord exclusives ~ , currency, and more! The raffles will be extraordinarily cheap, 1 sc per ticket, and exclusive to the clan.

There will also be rewards for participation! At the end of the event, your candy contributed will be counted up, and you will be rewarded gold cones based upon how much candy you earned for the event!

a message from the admin:

It's been one year since Lore Clan began, and already we've grown far beyond anything I thought we would. I am so incredibly proud of Lore Clan and our community; I'm not sure I even have the words to express how much you all mean to me. Thank you, all of you, for all the memories and friendship you've given to the clan over this past year. And-- here's to hoping for another.

trick or treating tips!

want to trick or treat, but you're having trouble writing a good start?

it can be a bit daunting trying to reach the 100 word minimum for the event, and if you're struggling, we're here to help! Here's some tips on how to be a good trick or treater c:

⇝ check your intended target's territory
It's always a good idea to see what sort of territory your wolf is walking into! It will help you set the scene for the interaction, as well as how your wolf responds to it. If you're trick or treating in the desert, and you're from the tundra, your wolf may have a hard time adjusting to the sweltering heat: or, if it's night, be surprised at how cold it can get! They may also have trouble walking in the sands.

⇝ describe your wolf and their costume!
It wouldn't be halloween if we didn't have some fun costumes! What has your wolf dressed up as? Is it a frightening costume? How did they make it? What materials were available to them to craft their outfit: feathers, bones, antlers, pelts? Are they meant to be cute? Is the costume heavy, is it hot? Do they have something to carry their treats in, like a halloween pail? Giving your wolf's description will also help your target write a decent response back! They'll know if their wolf is intimidated, or awe inspired by your wolf's totally awesome costume!

but it also can be difficult writing a good response...

Struggling to write a good response after being trick or treated? We've got you covered. ;)

⇝ choose a wolf!
remember: the wolf being trick or treated doesn't necessarily have to be your lead! It can be the cynical elder, who's a bit o a grouch when it comes to holidays. Or it can be the young and spritely herbalist, who has fully embraced their spooky side! Choosing a wolf to receive the trick or treater is a big and fun step to explore personalities and interactions. Remember: it doesn't always have to be the same wolf!!

⇝ recall details!
if you've received a trick or treater, with any hope, they've given you a good message to base your response off of. If you're at a loss of what to type, try recalling and restating details that have already been given to you. Is the trick or treater in costume? If so, what is their costume? Can your wolf see the effort they put into it? Did it frighten them, or catch them off guard? If they didn't: what does your wolf think of their lack of halloween spirit? Do they deserve a trick for trying to get free treats from your pack? If they haven't given you much to go off of, continue to the next step,,,

⇝ invent!
They're on your turf, so don't be shy to describe it! Has your pack decorated for halloween? If so, how? If not, what is the state of your camp at this time? Is it organized? Is there thick fog rolling in? Are the woods silent, or filled with the sounds of crickets and pup's laughter? If YOUR wolf in costume? If so, what is it?
