August 4th 2026
Hello Citizens of Nemeia! We bring you another big announcement as we further update the website and several of the game’s systems today.
Lorekeeper Concerns
We have been following conversations in the general chat and wanted to clarify something that has been on several people’s minds, including our own, with all of the website renovations and rule adjustments going on.
The Lorekeeper website is not currently functional.
The previously announced lorekeeper website was not as polished as expected upon ownership transfer, and it is not currently in a usable form.
The Lorekeeper was transferred in its current state, but due to its condition and the desperately needed updates to our Weebly website, we have been forced to sideline it and focus on fixing what does work for the time being.
We do not have a dedicated coder to work on the Lorekeeper at this time, so until we have either the time or resources to put towards it, we must sadly put it on hold in favor of improving our functioning systems and keeping the game running.
It is our sincerest hope that we can migrate off of DA in the future, but losing the expected progress of the Lorekeeper site has crippled us significantly, and we apologize for the setback it has forced on everyone, especially the admin team that is now forced to scramble to pick up the pieces.
General Website Updates
The Discord invite link has been added to the front page!
Group Rules has been moved to the navigation menu of the website, rather than under the “Start Here” drop down menu.
Holidays have been moved back under the Activities drop down menu.
We now have a dedicated Beginner’s Guide under the “Start Here” dropdown menu. This is so it’s more intuitive for new players to access.
Anthea’s Nursery has been merged into the Beginner’s Guide rather than being its own page.
Wishes have been moved to the “Shops” dropdown menu.
The Conquest and Previous Conquests pages have been merged for easier access on mobile devices.
Conquest page has been updated to be more clear on it being a Simple Activity and the requirements that entails.
New Site Buttons! Unfortunately the Fonts/Buttons used on the website did not survive the ownership exchange, and so now we have implemented new button graphics on the site thanks to the lovely Thaldryn!
Breeding Guide
Huge update to the Breeding Guide that was desperately needed!
Now lists all companions, consumables, and traits that are applicable to breedings.
Now lists the monthly limits as well as items/traits that can go over the limit.
Added rules regarding Split Litters & PoTL in splits.
Clarified rules regarding selling slots to Nemeion that have not completed their Training or have not been uploaded yet.
Slot breakdown provided for all the possible routes to obtain more.
Updated the “Odds & Restrictions” section to give better details about the effects injuries can have on breedings.
New Lost Cubs & Aphrodite’s Lament pages added!
The Caesar’s Starters page has also been updated with a better breakdown of all the tiers of starters! You can now see the starters in each tier, as well as read the information about their gender, build, markings, mutations and blessings/curses all directly on the page! We are aware it is currently loading a little slowly and we are doing what we can to amend that.
A few our our starters were found to have been incorrectly graded and have had their Rarities adjusted:
Augusta 602 has been demoted from Platinum to Gold Tier.
Bjorn 784 has been demoted from Silver to Bronze Tier.
Aidoneus 794 has been demoted from Gold to Silver Tier.
Laurelai 800 has been demoted from Gold to Silver Tier.
Leora 802 has been demoted from Gold to Bronze Tier.
Selune 993 has been demoted from Gold to Silver Tier.
Sonder 1443 has been promoted from Gold to Platinum Tier.
Foteini 1450 has been promoted from Gold to Platinum Tier.
M'Polo 1455 has been promoted from Gold to Platinum Tier.
The following starters have had Physical Mutations or Markings added:
Vorenius 526 has been given Double Tusks
Apricus 527 has been given Double Smilodon Sabers
Dormas 785 has been given Raptor Claws
Fenyx 799 has been given Habitu
The following starters have had Blessings or Curses applied and have been promoted to Chroma:
Pherenike 972 has been blessed with Harvester’s Horns
Natakas 1000 has been cursed with Athena's Anguish
Bubulae 1009 has been blessed with Harvester’s Horns
Taming Guide
The Taming Guide is officially complete!
“Feral Taming” has been renamed to just “Taming”
Now carries the same requirements as all other Simple Activities.
Taming entry rules now clarify whether Commissioned or Collaborated entries are permitted:
Holiday Adoptable entries can be Commissioned.
They cannot be Collaborated.
Wild Feral entries can be Commissioned or Collaborated.
Added clarifications regarding “double dipping” on Holiday Adoptables.
Clarified the limits on how many Nemeion can participate in a Taming entry.
Holiday Adoptables: Only one (1) Nemeion (or handler) may be present during a Taming entry, excluding the Nemeion being tamed.
Wild Ferals: Only two (2) Nemeion may be present during a Taming entry excluding the Nemeion being tamed.
Required: The Nemeion that received the Wild Feral event in a roll result.
Optional: Secondary Nemeion that has Taming Traits (Ambassador I/II).
Added Fancy Feast and its restriction to the Wild Ferals page.
EXP Updates
Greyscale / Black & White EXP differences have been removed. Now referred to as “Toned”, these images count the same as being Colored.
We hope this update makes the system more welcoming to artists who do greyscale pieces, as the previous version wasn’t as kind in letting greyscale earn EXP.
Clarified Half-Body / Busts as being 50% or less visibility.
Lined Full Body has been lowered to 2 EXP down from 3 EXP
This was aimed to balance it with half-body/bust EXP to be lower than a Lined/Colored/Shaded Bust.
Literature now requires a minimum of 300 Words to begin counting for EXP.
300 Word Minimum = 3 EXP
Lit EXP is now 1 EXP per 150 Additional Words..
These changes were made to balance and make it equivalent to the EXP earned through what is required in Artworks for Activities in the group.
Animation has been simplified to a single bonus of 10 EXP.
No longer counts blinking / ear flicks / atmospheric effects.
Lore & Caesar Bonuses have been combined into Group Nemeion Bonus
Stacks up to three (3) times
Clarified some bonuses that do not stack.
Activity & Holiday Bonus
Non-Commission & Collaboration Bonus
Popular & Loner Bonus
Popular (can’t stack with itself)
Loner (can’t stack with itself)
Noble Blood (can’t stack with itself)
Leadership (can’t stack with itself)
Companion Bonus has been lowered to 1 EXP from 2 EXP
Each companion depiction can only apply to a singular Nemeion.
Companion must be equipped to the Nemeion it is depicted with to count.
Companion depiction must be the correct color variant in order to count.
Stacks up to three (3) times
Handler Bonus has been raised from 1 EXP to 3 EXP.
Freakish Fangs Guide
We offer to you yet another guide for one of our numerous Blessings and Curses! Now that we’ve gotten Harvester’s Horns up, we are excited to bring to you the Freakish Fangs Guide!
Newly added Lore regarding how Freakish Fangs (supposedly) came to exist, as well as how the Curse is regarded canonically in Nemeia.
Now officially provides examples for those who may be struggling with ideas for what to do with the curse, as well as providing clarification for what may or may not be allowed.
Adventures Rules & Guidelines
Updated page to remove outdated item art to instead feature some lovely player artworks!
Clarified rules stating that forms are required in the description of deviations, as well as the fact that trackers are required for receiving rewards.
These are not new rules, they have simply been updated to be more clear as to the requirements of them.
Clarified the minimum requirements for prey items in Beast Hunting/Fishing for Artwork and Literature.
Clarified the requirements in the “Getting Started” section of adventures.
Added the “Upload Your Entry” section to “Getting Started”
Once your Art or Lit has been completed, it is required to be submitted to DeviantArt. This deviation must be accessible by admins, which means it cannot be put behind a paywall, or set to only accessible by watchers, and it must have comments turned on.
Beast Hunting has been provided a more diverse range of prey to hunt.
Prey must be of equal size or larger than your Nemeion regardless of it “counting” as one of the species provided.
Expeditions are no longer permitted to be in caves or mineshafts due to overlap with caving.
Fishing is now required to depict the Nemeion in or around water.
Possible prey items for fishing have been expanded upon.
Foraging no longer allows hunting of small prey.
Now requires that all items being gathered by the Nemeion need to be easily identifiable as an actual plant or item they’ve dug up. Over simplified items such as grass blades do not count.
Caving now specifies the fact that there is a chance of injury. It now also has special requirements listed:
Artwork must include a minimum of four (4) background elements.
Literature must include an additional 100 words.
Crusades now specify the fact that there is a chance of injury. It now also has special requirements listed:
Artwork must include a minimum of four (4) background elements, two (2) of which must be man-made (these have always been required, but were never written down, so we have made a point to make them clear to players).
Literature must include an additional 100 words.
Removed the Humanoid/Nemeion NPC requirement!
Anything currently pending in a log are exempt from any rule updates, so long as they do not receive a correction.
August 1st 2026
Hello citizens of Nemeia! We bring forth more news regarding ongoing updates, partial group closures, and the yearly return of the Harvest Festival! Alongside this comes a few new goodies that you may have already seen on the NemeionAdmin account.
(Partial) Group Closure
Several areas of the group are closing for the month of August. This is to give admins some time to catch up on logs that have been neglected for an extended period of time, as well as implement updates and create new journals where necessary! We want to do this now, as the Harvest Festival will be active to still allow players to partake in the game despite other sections being down temporarily.
The following sections of the group will be open during the month of August:
Adoption Center
Conquests
Grace Period Log
Harvest Festival
Lineage Applications
Vault: Create Vault, Event Redeems, Purchase from the Tradesman and Transfers
Artwork & Literature Rules Update
We bring forth another massive update, this time regarding Artwork and Literature Rules & Guidelines! We do hope, however, that this update brings people some joy! With this update, we have made some clarifications to help clear up confusion regarding things like elements, shading, B&W art, etc. as well as hoping to make the rules more inclusive to players of all art styles!
This updated guide with more detailed explanations and examples can be seen by navigating to the Art & Literature Guide on the website.
Global Art & Literature Rules
New rules going in-depth on what is or is not acceptable in both art and literature have been implemented to give clarity on rules that previously were not explicitly stated.
Collaborated Artwork & Literature
New guidelines with more detailed breakdowns of what is expected of collaborated pieces have been added to the guide.
Simple vs Complex
Updated the exact specifications for what dictates whether a piece is Simple versus Complex.
Visual guides have been added to give a better example for what will be considered Simple versus Complex for Backgrounds.
Background Elements
Some leniency has been reintegrated into the rules for what is considered an Element when it comes to the background.
Visual examples regarding elements have been implemented to show what is or isn’t considered “distinct” enough as an element.
Black & White / Toned Images
Clarifications have been added regarding how B&W images (referred to as Toned) are counted for EXP / Activity requirements. It will no longer require shading or additional work, and will be considered as “colored” like any other image.
“Key Feature” Clarifications
The required depictions on a Nemeion have been modified to be: Nose, Eyes, Toes, Tusks, Mutations, Blessings / Curses, & Body Modifications / Fur Variants
Mouths were removed from the required features so as to not exclude specific art styles.
Defined Paws & Dewclaws are not required so as to not exclude specific art styles.
These rules are put in place with the idea that if you don’t want to draw it, don’t have it on the import.
Nemeion has many options for excluding or removing things like Markings, Tusks, Tails, Ears, Fur Variants, etc. so what is depicted on the import is expected to be drawn.
This excludes things like decor, which can understandably be “removed” from a Nemeion at any time.
Leasing Updates
Leasing now has its own Leasing Rules & Guide page on the website.
This was created to give clarity to how Nemeion will aid players in enforcing their lease agreements with other players, as well as establish rules for what is / isn’t allowed to be put into lease agreements.
These rules are meant to protect both the lessor and lessee in the event that an agreement goes sour. Thankfully, this has not been an issue as of yet!! But we desire to be proactive in keeping any issues from arising in the future.
We now have a restricted list of Caesar Nemeion that can be leased for specific activities.
This is to encourage art to be made of certain Starters that don’t see a lot of love, as well as to highlight the fact that this system exists in the first place.
It is likely that the list will be cycled in the future.
Harvest Festival
It’s that time of year again; the Harvest Festival has returned! With it we bring a new godly face, a newly returned blessing, and some updates regarding the new currency and activities within the festival!
New Goddess
Demeter L7 has finally graced Nemeia with her presence! With her follows three of her grandchildren who are entertaining the idea of finding a new home. They can be seen in the Holiday Adoptables section of the event.
Holiday Adoptables
As with all our major holidays, we have three new Holiday Adoptables for people to try and bring home this year! These three are exceptionally special, as they are the grandchildren of Demeter!
New restrictions have been added regarding the fact that these tames can be “double dipped” on by counting as an Adventure roll in addition to a Taming:
The only applicable Adventure types for Tamings are now Beast Hunting, Expedition, Fishing and Foraging. Caving and Crusades are not permitted.
Only one (1) Nemeion may be depicted alongside the adoptable and receive a roll.
Harvest Shop Overhaul
The Harvest Shop has been renamed to The Cornucopia to bring it in line with the other holiday shops having special names!
While the event isn’t active at the moment, the Feast of Fools Shop has also been renamed The Giggle Shack
The holiday currency Corn is being replaced with Seeds.
You can exchange your Corn for Seeds with Pan at the Harvest Exchange thread!
Many items from the previous year are returning, as well as new items added to the shop. You will also find that prices have been adjusted:
Chicken Souvlaki for 15 Seeds
Fish Souvlaki for 20 Seeds
Large Sack of Coins for 5 Seeds
Bountiful Harvest for 25 Seeds
Caesar's Dice for 35 Seeds
Seed Sense Trait for 75 Seeds
Harvester's Horns Blessing for 75 Seeds
Shank Bone Treat for 20 Seeds
Jowls-ting Contest
New gift art event! To give the Harvest Festival its own special art event, the Memeion Contest (now Feast of Fools exclusive) has been replaced with the Jowls-ting Contest. Pan and Demeter desire a show of whose Nemeion can eat the most food in the shortest period of time!
This contest follows similar rules to the Cupid Gift Exchange in Season of Love, where the prizes you receive are based on an RNG + Art effort score, with additional opportunities for bonus points. The exact breakdown of judging and the prize tiers can be seen on the Harvest Festival Page.
Harvester’s Horns
A brand new blessing has been gifted upon Nemeion by Pan, the Harvest King L4 himself!
Once called the Hellish Horns Curse, this change is intended to add to the tragic lack of blessings in the game!
A new Harvester’s Horns Guide has been made to give more in-depth information, as this blessing brings new restrictions regarding the Facade of the Caesar.
Horns growing straight out of the Nemeion can no longer be applied using the Facade.
Nemeion who previously used a Facade to apply horn growths will be receiving a free Harvester’s Horns Blessing to their import.
The Facade of the Caesar will only be able to apply horns if there is a visible headband, strap, or other type of connection point that is distinctly not a permanent fixture of the Nemeion.
Blessing / Curse Guides & Updates
The Blessings & Curses page has been updated to remove all the unreleased blessings and curses.
This is to reduce confusion with players as to which Blessings / Curses are “available” to be applied via the Mirror of Manifestation.
The page will only contain released Blessings / Curses from now, it will no longer “tease” any possible future additions.
All Blessings and Curses are now hereditary! This means they can be acquired through breeding to Nemeion that already have them, even if they were non-hereditary previously.
More in-depth information about breeding updates being made in addition to this can be seen down below.
More blessing and curse guides are soon to come! Alongside this we are updating information as to what applying them to imports entails.
Blistering Bile and Befuddling Brew will follow the same rules as redoing a Nemeion with a Mask of Rebirth.
Edits regarding other blessings/curses, such as Harvester’s Horns, will be judged on a case by case basis. Depending on how big the change is, it will either require a Mask of Rebirth, or it will be able to go through the Minor Updates log.
Breeding Trait + Item Updates (+ New Trait!)
Cursed Blood has been updated from allowing non-hereditary curses to pass to:
“When applied to a breeding, this trait increases the pass rate of Curses found on either parent by 5%.”
Divine Blood has been added as the partner trait to Cursed Blood for Blessings:
“When applied to a breeding, this trait increases the pass rate of Blessings found on either parent by 5%.”
Perfect Pate has been updated to increase the pass rate of Blessings / Curses from 3% to 5%. It stacks with Cursed / Divine Blood.
Conquest Update
The Conquest and Previous Conquest pages have received some minor updates.
Conquests are now considered a Simple Activity.
Previous Conquests have had Holiday Conquests put into a separate section.
They will still be available through Time Traveller, no special trait is going to be required to access them.
This is for players to be able to see the different Conquests that are going to be recycled for Holidays. From now on, Conquest prompts related to Holidays are going to be cycled each year, rather than a brand new one being made every year.
New prompts may eventually replace old prompts, but that is a distant future update that is not expected anytime soon. We will however be adding new prompts for Holidays that do not have a corresponding Conquest!
Conquests that contain restrictions on Loaded Dice are being updated so as to no longer warrant the restriction.
The following Conquests have had their rewards updated:
Aegean Hunt
Iron Chef
Emergency Medical Transport
Spirit Snatchers
Colosseum & Trait Updates (+ New Trait!)
Some small but necessary updates to the Colosseum have been done! This is to make things a little easier on the admins, as well as keep things from being confusing to players by minimizing the amount of sub-types of Colosseum Battles.
Munera Battles have been updated to allow all builds. Weight classes and Parvum have been removed in favor of making Munera more inclusive.
Tiny Terror unique trait has been updated with this change: “When applied to a Domestic or Dwarf, this trait provides an additional bonus when facing larger opponents in the Colosseum.”
Bully unique trait has been added with the following effect: “When applied to a Brute or Regal, this trait provides an additional bonus when facing smaller opponents in the Colosseum.”
Both traits provide an extra 5% chance at winning in Muenera (when facing Nemeion opponents) PvP and Champion Battles
Omoi the Eclipse C06 now has Bully trait applied to her trait list, and has a chance drop as her Champion’s Favor when defeated in the colosseum!
Vindictam Proelium has been renamed to Player versus Player (PvP)
PvP’s full list of rewards, bonuses and more have been outlined in the guide!
Protathlitís has been renamed to Champion Battles.
Leasing has been removed from Champion Battles.
All existing leases for Champion Battles posted before August 1st, 2026 are still valid until their listed end date, these leases can not be extended.
Custom Import Guide Update
An extremely needed overhaul for the Custom Import Guide has been done! This is to make it more clear as to what is and isn’t able to be done to edit “Custom Imports”, as well as to remove / modify some wording that didn’t feel very player friendly or well done.
A new type of Custom Import called Paradox has been added and explained within the guide.
Imports that fall into this classification will be announced when all imports have been updated to the modern template.
Added clarifications regarding what is or isn’t permitted for edits of Custom Imports.
Modified or otherwise removed verbiage that discouraged editing Custom Imports.
New Items
A new Bazaar item has been added - the Sip of Sterility
This item is free and can be used on genos and imports to inflict them with Infertility.
This item cannot be removed or reversed.
Genos and Imports cannot be transferred if they have a pending Sip of Sterility application. Owners must wait until the item has been applied to transfer.
New Free Background - Golden Fields is now available to all players for their Nemeion!
As you can see, the formatting is being updated for import backgrounds! All backgrounds will be getting updated in time, some faster than others.
Item Updates
Cursed Blood of Hades is no longer available through rolls or shops at this time, as it is pending an update.
Anyone who currently owns this item can no longer apply it until the update is complete.
Website Updates
The Companions & Equipment page has been updated.
Armor, Companions & Equipment now have up to date descriptions.
Companions & Equipment now have a breakdown of the Activities they apply to.
Companions & Equipment now list their rarities.
July 23rd 2026
Hello citizens of Nemeia! We bring even more news as major updates are underway regarding the lineage and import changes! Alongside some clarifications about the previous announcement, we are also bringing you information about changes to the Rank System that are happening!
…Yes, again, unfortunately. We offer our sincerest apologies for making changes to the system a second time, especially after it was already overhauled just two months prior. However, we hope these updates are seen as a good thing! Some were “logic” updates, in regards to the additional slots earned with each rank, and a rebalancing of the EXP requirements. Activity requirements have also been updated (relatively minorly), and prompts have been updated with fresh ideas!
We also promise this is the final update to the Rank System for the foreseeable future! But to further address this particular update, the Rank System has had the following changes made:
Rank System Updates
Rank Up Prompt Changes are as follows:
Maximum participants increased to 3 Nemeion per image. (Previously: 2)
Ranks 1-5 have brand new prompts that will be required from here on out
The Grace Period Log will be reopening for people to be able to submit using the old prompts which can be found here: Retired Ranks
The grace period will end September 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM CST
All ranks already pending in the current log will be judged under previous rules.
EXP Changes are as follows:
Rank 1: Required EXP Decreased to 50 EXP (Previously: 75)
Rank 2: Required EXP Decreased to 100 EXP (Previously: 150)
Rank 3: Unchanged
Rank 4: Required EXP Increased to 200 EXP (Previously: 195)
Rank 5: Required EXP Increased to 500 EXP (Previously: 400)
The Total EXP for Rank 5 is still 1000 EXP despite these changes.
Previously approved EXP can be left as-is on existing trackers!
Slot Changes are as follows:
Rank 1: Rewarded Slots Decreased to 3 (Previously: 4)
Rank 2: Rewarded Slots Decreased to 3 (Previously: 4)
Rank 3: Rewarded Slots Increased to 4 (Previously: 3)
Rank 4: Rewarded Slots Increased to 4 (Previously: 2)
Rank 5: Rewarded Slots Decreased to 6 (Previously: 7)
Nemeion who are losing slots (Rank 1-2) due to these updates are receiving the following options to make up for the “lost” slots:
One (1) Free Elixir of Adonis applied to that Nemeion (Still applies to Nemeion’s Elixir Limit)
One (1) Free Elixir of Adonis deposited to your Vault
The total slots awarded remains at 20 Slots total for Rank Ups, with 5 from Training, for a total of 25 Lifetime Slots (excluding Elixir of Adonis applications).
In order to redeem your choice of compensation for the slot changes, please send a Ticket through the Discord Ticket Bot.
The ticket submission period will end September 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM CS
Pending ranks affected by this change will receive an admin comment to reply to instead of being required to send a ticket, please reply to this comment promptly as it will still be affected by the September 1st deadline.
Rank Rewards Changes are as follows:
Rank 1: Companion Reward is no longer randomly rolled! Instead, you will have your choice of the following: Wolf, Racoon, Mastiff, Hyena, Cougar or Cave Bat
This was added to give players more control over the bonuses their Nemeion has applied, in case they’re being built for a specific activity.
Rank 2: Clarified wording for Unlocked Rank 2 Activities. Equipment choice is now limited to equipment of Epic or Less Rarity.
Wording clarification was done to remove Excavation from being listed as a Rank 2 Activity (we closed that excavation site…so long ago…), as it was renamed to Caving but never fixed.
Equipment choice is now limited, as items such as Cursed Tome were not intended to be available in the pool of choices.
Rank 3: Replaced Uncommon Trait of Choice reward with 1x Wooden Trunk deposited to your Vault.
Around Rank 3, we’ve noticed most Nemeion have the traits they’re meant to have, so for player and admin sanity, we give you a fun lootbox that contains useful equipment and upgrade kits instead!
Rank 4: Replaced Rare and Epic Traits of Choice reward with 1x Runestone deposited to your Vault.
Again, around Rank 3 and 4, we notice most Nemeion already have the traits they’re meant to have. So instead, we offer the more versatile trait item for your choice of Nemeion as a reward for progressing so far!
Rank 5: Clarified wording of “Legendary Semi-Custom Token” to “1x Semi-Custom: Platinum”. Replaced the Epic/Legendary Trait of Choice reward with 1x Legendary Companion Cache.
The vagueness of the semi-custom reward was missed in the big update. We’ve made it clear what tier you receive.
Again, previous trait reasoning, and now you get a special box with a very special creature inside for any Nemeion you see fit to apply it to!
Rank Activity Requirement Changes are as follows:
Rank 1:
Broadened the limited Adventures to All Adventures, including those done through a Natural Leader Nemeion.
Broadened Munera Battles to any Colosseum entry.
Added Holidays.
Rank 2:
Broadened the limited Adventures to All Adventures, including those done through a Natural Leader Nemeion.
Broadened Munera Battles to any Colosseum entry.
Hastati Adventure Trait has now become Hastati Activity Trait, as it now applies to Colosseum as well.
Rank 3:
Broadened the listed Adventures to All Adventures.
Rank 4:
Decreased total Activity Requirement to 15 (Previously: 16)
Decreased “minimum” Adventure Requirements to 1 each (Previously: 2 Each)
Added a “free range” selection for 5 activity requirements
Multiple areas have had wording clarified as well as cut down on to decrease clutter, such as specifying that all activity rolls must be successful for each rank, rather than listed with each activity type.
Complete breakdown can best be seen on the updated Rank System page on the Nemeion website.
Training Prompts
The lost 20th Training Prompt has been recovered! It can now be found on the Training Page.
Import Template & Lineage Updates
Now, regarding the updates to the Import Template as well as Lineages of Nemeion who do not have any.
We will not be changing our minds on this decision. The owner and senior admins have been discussing, debating, writing, and editing these changes for a while now before announcing the intent of cutting down on the prevalent issue of Nemeion not being given lineages.
Yes, this has been a well known and persistent issue spanning an egregious amount of time. While not specified in the announcement, the lack of lineages on Lost Cubs and Semi-Customs was never intended to be a feature of the group. Unfortunately, this error went consistently unfixed through previous ownership, and snowballed into the current problem that we are struggling with today. Yes, it should have been addressed much sooner, but it is being addressed now, and that is the best solution we have available.
As part of this update, we are giving a reminder that by participating in Nemeion, you agree to all of the Policies and Disclaimers that are listed on the Nemeion website. Which includes:
“The group retains the right to edit or discontinue any prior, current, or future information, game play mechanics, and rules at all times.”
This is not a new rule, and this is not an outlandish rule. All games are going to have a warning that there are going to be updates, and those updates might vastly change how a game runs. You might enjoy them, you might not, but ultimately the decisions must be made according to what is best for the progression of the game.
However, we do see your concerns in the Discord. We feel the announcement about this large update was perhaps too vague about our intentions, so we are going to give a more detailed explanation as to what is happening regarding Nemeion without any lineages.
Import Template Changes
Import templates no longer require the full description for Traits, Equipment or Companions. You will have to check the guides for their applications.
This is to cut down on clutter for admins.
Gachas & Ferals
These two types of Nemeion uploads are going to stay lineageless.
This is intended to give both a USD and a Gameplay option for receiving Nemeion without lineages.
Ferals will not always be a blank lineage. Special cases will be made at times when a fun idea arises, such as Falco WF21, who was a cub offered to the Caesar and was recycled into a Feral. Any interesting geno or import donated to the Caesar can be recycled back into the feral pool.
Gachas will always be a blank lineage.
However, this doesn’t mean that all Nemeion sold by the group will have a blank lineage, as there will potentially be special cases presented in the future where it will not be an option.
As a final reminder, all Uploaded Ferals and Gachas will remain with their current lineages.
Lost Cubs
Lost Cubs were always meant to have lineages.
At some point, the lineage was missed on a handful of cubs, and it became the “normal” when it was brought up as an issue and shrugged off instead of being resolved immediately.
Unknown lineages will no longer be the “normal” for lost cubs, as we are rectifying this issue now.
As of July 23, 2026 all un-uploaded Lost Cubs will be assigned a lineage on upload, and unrevealed lost cubs will receive a lineage when they are rolled through the breeding thread.
Lost cubs will roll with either two (2) grandparents or three (3) great-grandparents.
A previous announcement stated that all lost cubs receive 1 parent and 2 grand parents, this was a typo and will be amended.
Semi-Customs
Semi-Customs were inconsistent with having lineages assigned.
Lineages were assigned on a case by case basis dependent on group ownership at the time.
At this time, it is now being made uniform and consistent across the board that all Semi-Customs will have a lineage.
As of July 23, 2026 all unuploaded Semi-Customs will be provided the following options:
Player Choice Lineage of Three (3) Caesar Starters (NO Champions) or Admin Assigned Lineage of 2-4 Caesar Starters.
Positions of starters will be determined by the admin team regardless of which option players choose to prevent lineage errors specifically related to starters.
Special Events
Special events such as the Bone Raffle, Holiday Adoptables* and Season of Love Gifts will receive minimal or themed lineages and will vary based on the event. These options can include but are not limited to:
Potential for a Lore Figure parentage.
Potential for a lineage consisting of only a single (1) great-grandparent
*Holiday Adoptables
Tiny change amidst big changes. This is the new name for the Holiday Ferals. To avoid confusion with Ferals found with Fellowship or by other means, imports that are available for taming during holidays will from now on be referred to as Holiday Adoptables.
Uploaded & Pending Upload Imports
All uploads will be receiving updated lineages. Their origin will affect how their lineage is assigned, or what options are available to players.
We promise, we’re not trying to create inbred messes or ruin breeding plans, canon stories, etc!
Uploaded & Pending Semi-Customs are being provided with the following options regarding the lineage update:
Player Choice of One (1) Caesar Starter, Champion OR Lore Figure as a Great-Grandparent
To redeem, you will need to send a "Other" Ticket through the Discord Ticket Bot. A form will be provided in the channel.
This option is only good through September 1, 2026.
All Other Uploads that have a blank lineage will be receiving Two (2) Great-Grandparents unless otherwise stated.
Lineage will be assigned by admins and may consist of any Caesar Starter, Champion, or Lore Figure
As stated in the previous announcement, if inbreeding issues with planned pairs occur due to lineage assignment, you can Send a Ticket to have it re-rolled.
Updates regarding Titan Traits will be coming alongside this update.
Nemeion that are listed as the Origin of a Titan Trait will be assigned a Caesar Starter in their lineage that has that Titan Trait.
This is to help introduce viable ways for players to breed for and obtain titan trait cubs outside of slots to the Origin Nemeion.
This also means that all currently existing, as well as future created, Titan Traits will receive a Starter Nemeion whose slots will be available in the future through the same standard in-game means!
Nemeion that have had Titan Traits applied will have the related Caesar Starter put in as a Great-Grandparent.
The only exceptions are Nemeion that were from breedings where the “last line” would have fallen off.
With this update, we are introducing the game’s newest Demi-God, Midas LF6
This lore figure is introducing the game’s first group-made Titan Trait, Midas’ Touch.
He also brings with him the return of the
Hellish Horns Curse*. Which will be given an update soon, and all Nemeion currently with horn decorations will be receiving thiscursefor free!!*Now renamed to Harvester's Horns Blessing as of July 27, 2026.
This update will affect all cubs that were bred from Onyxia 1012 as he will be placed in as her Paternal Grandparent.
This also means that, as previously mentioned, he is now available as an option for inserting into your Uploaded/Pending Import lineages!
Again, we understand the frustrations that come with large, unexpected updates. Especially an overhaul as large as one that is going to uproot the “norm” of the game. But as Nemeion evolves and we plan future systems and surprises, older systems are going to have to update just like with any other game. These aren’t the only big changes the group will be growing through in a short period of time, and we know change is always going to ruffle feathers no matter what we do.
For now, we ask that you please trust that this update is not to “conform” with other ARPG standards, and that we do have a plan for everything going forward. There are lots of things being developed behind the scenes, and this is just one step in the process of reworking older systems to get the group to a spot where we can progress towards new fun things!
And also we REALLY appreciate everyone being very polite and constructive in the Discord General Chat! We know there was a lot of discussion between players about personal feelings regarding the change, and while we admins aren’t able to address concerns officially in the General chat, we do hear you and read every message!
It’s still important to please note, major decisions are made with serious consideration for the long term by the owner and senior admins. We will provide ways to give player input when we think a vote on something will help, but when it comes to big changes to prepare for larger things, we cannot always explain the details of why the game is changing the way it is. That would just spoil things that are meant to be surprises, after all!
Pending Designs
On another unfortunate note, Design Log is going to be staying closed for an extended period of time. While we cannot provide a set date we will reopen it, we do promise that you will not be locked out of seasonal markings!
When Design Log reopens, the following will be temporarily available to make up for the wait:
All Seasonal Markings will be available until January 2027!
Monthly Limits will be increased until January 2027!
This exact limit will be announced when Design Log reopens, but we want to make sure that everyone has ample time (and space!) to get their designs in!
You are not required to update pending designs to the new import template as this was an unexpected update, but the admins will be very grateful if you do!
We truly appreciate everyone’s patience during this time as Nemeion experiences some serious growing pains under the new ownership! It really is a small team with just the three of us tackling the majority of the work, and while we’re accustomed to relying on each other to get things done, we’re also trying to fix a mountain of things very quickly. We want Nemeion to continue to be a fun game to play, while shutting down as little as possible in the process of our repairs and improvements.
Especially with the Harvest Festival right around the corner, which we all look forward to seeing you, our wonderful players, participate in!
With sweat on our brows and our brains turning into mashed potatoes daily,
~Bluebird, Onyx and Thaldryn
July 20th 2026
Hello citizens of Nemeia! Firstly we would like to apologize for the delay in clearing Design Approvals as we do construction on so many different areas of the group. We are hard at work updating many parts of the game, including several sections of the design process! We want to make sure everything is ready before we re-open design approvals to minimize confusion. On that note...
The senate is very excited to announce that we are doing a massive import template overhaul. This includes big changes to how information is arranged regarding names, nicknames, owner, etc, as well as how companions, equipment and traits will be listed, AND the biggest change of all - lineages are now being extended into great-grandparents to fall in line with the majority of our other ARPG partners! This means that each lion will now have 3 lines under their lineage, rather than 2. Do not fret, however! In the (very unlikely) event that any cats wind up 'inbred' due to the update, they will not suffer penalties and will be 'grandfathered in'!
We will be working the next few days to bring these updates to all uploaded Nemeion, so please bear with us. When Design Approvals reopen, this new import template will be required for all Nemeion moving forward. Make sure to take a look at the newly updated Import Information Template to ensure any designs you've been waiting to submit won't get corrected!
With this update, Uploaded Nemeion with no lineage at all will only be receiving last-line RNG lineages. This is intended to keep it from affecting any existing cubs, as the lineage will have fallen off and not carried over to the cubs.
All Lost Cubs and Semi-Customs will also be receiving lineages with this update. If you have Nemeion awaiting upload, do not fret, as their lineages will be handled by admins upon upload! The only exceptions will be genos that are explicitly marked as "no lineage at upload" on their original admin proof comment.
Lost Cubs will be now be getting rolled with one (1) parent on a single side (Sire or Dam), and the other side will receive two (2) grandparents. Semi-Customs will receive a randomly assigned lineage at upload.
July 7th 2026
Our Rules and Guidelines have been updated, please read them over in full!
July 2nd 2026
The Rank Amnesty Log closes today!
The rank amnesty log closes in just over 12 hours, at Thursday, July 2, 2026 9:00 PM ! This time should adjust to display your local time, for your convenience! Be sure to get any last minute comments wrapped up before then, as no more entries will be accepted to that log after it closes, regardless of submission dates!
The Summer Sale is officially CLOSED!
We cannot thank you enough for your continued generosity and support! You all make this group possible, and we're so excited to see what we can do next!
The Traveling Tradesman has finally arrived!
After a bit of a delay, the Traveling Tradesman has finally made it through the gates of the capital! He has set up in the central market, eagerly awaiting all who wish to browse his wares. Remember, he deals only in hard earned coin, so be sure to stop by the vault and make any arrangements you may need before your trip to the booth
Conquest Update
Caesar has noticed some questionable looking vases circulating through the economy lately! Out of an abundance of caution (and a sneaking suspicion that his wife may have a pottery problem), he has tasked everyone with investigating any potential black market pottery producers. Unlike our typical conquest rewards, this one offers almost exclusively coin rewards. How convenient that it lines up perfectly with the travelling tradesman
Sections of Design Approvals and Import Updates are temporarily CLOSED!
While the admin team works to clear the backlog in design den and Import Updates, a few of the logs have been closed. You can see which logs have been affected on our Submission Page and if you notice anything may have been missed or skipped once we get going, please give us a day or two and then send in a ticket! There's a lot of cleaning up to do and sometimes our eyeballs get a little tired
Limited Seasonal Marking
As a seasonal bonus, the limited marking Cloak is now available for use on designs throughout the entire month of July. If you've been waiting for a chance to incorporate this unique marking into your creations, now is the time to do so before it returns to the vault at the end of the month.
Website and Discord Under Construction As part of our clean-up work, the admin team will be going through and updating several areas of both the website and the discord, including the rules page, guides for various markings, activity details, etc! The website should not go down during any maintenance work, but if you happen to notice any errors, please feel free to put in a ticket so we can get to them quickly and easily! As for Discord, you may see channels changing, moving, being removed and replaced, etc, while we try to streamline things for everyone. We will make another news post as we update things, as well as provide a Change Log for transparency!
