If you're motivated by banners, take a look at ALL the things you can earn. I've just added a bunch new palettes. All you have to do is comment with what you've earned - it's all on the honor system. You can also just grab one of the generic banners (not available for all colors or color/style combinations)

Rating: G
Warnings: None, brief reference to death.
Notes: Pre-Starfall legends. NB. Mod notes on Rich Black’s that 5 prompts were only added after and can be ignored if preferred, so I did, so I hope that's still okay for Pioneer. (15-20 prompts would have pushed this way too far.) Fingerpainting for format, which was new to me.
Summary: In High Eisterland, they tell different tales, of other Powers – or How the Moon Was Made, told in fragments.
