Rumor Woods Returns

This season’s theme draws inspiration from sunbaked sands and wind-carved horizons, bringing a new palette and a new spirit to the woods. As always, our offerings will remain varied, but many of this year’s highlights carry a distinctly desert flavor.
The tournament returns with a new rivalry: Scorpion versus Jerboa.
Each side will bear its own colors:
A beige jerboa on a field of myrtle green
A jet black scorpion on a field of copper
This year’s festival mount will be the scorpion, accompanied by new lore released alongside it.
For a special twist, the Fox Hunt will change its quarry for one year only. Instead of the fox, participants will have the chance to win a jerboa pet.
Prefer not to run the hunt? No worries. The jerboa will also be available through Ewe Vixen.
Sands are shifting. Rivalries are stirring.
Rumor Woods awaits.
Event begins April 10th, 2026, at 9:30 PM EDT.
