An Item-focused Lore Event + More

Hey Jammers! I had planned to post earlier, but I was away for 3 days without stable internet connection– I guess I forgot to let y'all know lol

I know I'm a couple days late for the update– but I'll talk a little about it anyway. There are some interesting things.

First and foremost... Juno!

The statue mannequin is confirmed as Juno! It didn't show up, but the image above is animated to show Juno sealed in the stone. 

Before we talk more about that, I just wanted to point out the second paragraph of the page above.

"Following this monumental discovery, Jamaa's top archaeologists will continue to uncover ancient items and accessories once thought lost forever!"

Really? An ancient warrior might be buried in stone, and items and accessories are the big deal? 

I bet they probably just put it there to keep Jammers interested in this whole thing, but it comes across as bizarrely materialistic lol

And even though this statue is Juno, we're still using it as a mannequin... hmm...

If you click the two new papers that are covered up in the image above, this is how they read:

Again, I like how the Alphas' personalities are imbedded in each note! ^-^

So, it seems from these notes that Juno sacrificed themself for the good of Balloosh a long, long time ago– maybe even pre-Jamaa.

If you click the script to the side of the statue, you can learn more:

Even though it's pretty clear that Juno has been turned to stone, I bet there might be a new adventure to come of this– or at least I think this isn't the end. Only time will tell.

Remember that adventure The Mystery Below, where you explore an ancient city? That was Juno's city!!!

The last couple sentences of Juno's message hint that their name can be used as a code. Which it is:

It gives you a full-color carving of Juno! 

I'd say this is probably the most "merchandised" lore event in the history of AJ, meaning that items are a huge focus. A little off-putting, but I guess AJHQ might be trying to fill in the gaps of a fairly small event.

In addition to the item code, there is a new shop to the left of the Juno statue:

They all cost diamonds, for some reason. :\

I personally would prefer for the banner to be nonmember– I'm surprised the lantern is nonmember and not the banner! Hmm...

This reminds me. A few days ago, someone in Jamaa said they had a time machine in their den. I went there, and who was there to greet me, but Juno the ancient warrior! :O

Because they lived in Balloosh so long ago, I asked Juno what life is like where they are. They told me the following:

Amazing. 

In other news...

There's a cool new exhibit in the Conservation Museum!

I know the Museum isn't the most popular of places to go, but show it some love, won't you? You might learn something really interesting in the process! <3

Speaking of really interesting, here's a PSA:

Gabby Wild's Animal Hospital has a LOT of good-quality animal videos! While Tierney Thys and Brady Barr videos usually just include photos of animals, Gabby Wild talks about these animals while they are nearby! 

Go check 'em out today :)

Before I go, here are a few random screenshots:

Saw this cool animal name...

Thought this thing was terrifying...

Met a nonmember "sabretooth"...

And best of all, I found Clark Stacey's long lost child. <3


That's all for now, Jammers. See you in Jamaa!
