Familiars of Spartopia: Familiars are magic-entities that always form from an egg of some kind. They require care, happiness, and bonds with the lands they dwell on to be fully-formed and actualized. The eggs are found in secluded forests which house an enormous amount of magic and are "born" from the earth itself, through the roots of Eternal Trees, and can be found by only the bravest souls who dare enter the forest. Most Familiars are found through the Trades, and traded for other goods, but some areas, like Spartopia, have found familiar eggs by going through the Fabled Forest --- primarily. JERRY, the Familiar Trader, is the only one on Spartopia who has traversed the lands far and wide to seek out familiars - to great success. He works with the Dockworkers to secure trades as well from time to time. Familiars can never take the form of a furre or Spartan Citizen and must look "feral" at all times. Some Enchanters have tried to conjure Other familiars from the depths of an Eternal Tree -- without starting from an Egg -- which has resulted in some unfortunate circumstances and disruption to the magical balance of the lands at times. These results produced Elite and Uncommon Monsters - that sometimes are seen in the Fabled Forest. Current Familiars available through Jerry:
Cats
Black Dragons
White Wolves
Kiwis
Guests are able to bring their own familiars if they have them already. Some familiars also can evolve. Familiars are at their best when they are happy and bonded to a citizen, visitor, or novice. Bonds are easily made when they are given a name. The naming of familiars is very important to them and makes them feel fully cherished. Bonds can also form through quests and over time, but naming is the quickest way to form a bond.
