I don't think I've seen her online in forever
For my ending of LotKB, I’ve decided to briefly describe the lore of Jamaa - my way. This is not canon, but may include some canon elements, like talismans and such.
Pre-Jamaa Ages
Before Zios ran toward the beach and used an unusual power, the Proto-light and dark sides, Jamaa was sunk in a murky water. Octopuses and dolphins ruled, but squids were also there, too. Squids were not that dark of creatures, but constantly over-fishing caused damage. They sought healers to cure their infections and clean their wounds.
Now, Zios was…an odd animal. Some lands already existed, and he was a citizen of many of them. However, as a young man, he was forced to join a secret organization, them having a goal to rebel against the empire, and they wore masks to conceal their identities. Zios would wear this mask for the rest of his life, as soon he believed in peace, and the group quickly became much less violent and dangerous.
To this day, no one knows what Zios actually was, since almost all ancient writings, drawings, and sculptures show just his mask. Some historians believe he was likely a lion, monkey, or a wooly mammoth. But we might never know. Mira, on the other hand, lived in a peaceful village nearby. They knew already about forces, but everyday animals lost their homes due to a war.
Mira and Zios met, and soon they knew what to do: to create a safe refuge for animals from the war. Mira and Zios soon discovered the light and dark side: two forces of reality that if they united, could create some of the most powerful forces on the planet. With help, they used these forces to lift Jamaa up.
But in the process, phantoms developed. They were certain aquatic creatures that sucked up most of the Darkside. The Darkside would forever be more connected to them. Since Darkside is mostly abstract concepts, they became more greedy and malevolent.
They teamed up, and became squid-like creatures. If they were dark shades and had one eye, it was a phantom. The boss was the phantom queen: a blue whale who was the main creator of the phantoms. Meanwhile, Zios and Mira had locked them away from the land (using talismans known as heartstones) to bring in the first affected: archosaurs.
The portal between the phantom world and Jamaa broke. Phantoms affected archosaurs greatly. Forest was lost to phantoms. Luckily, Zios recruited a quintet of archosaurs: The Great Five. There was Oliver the Tyrannosaurus, of great strength and great word; Langston the Brachiosaurus, who had a wide knowledge of almost any topic and a great vocabulary; Quetzal the Stegosaurus, born with resourcefulness and bravery; Avi the Pterosaur, knowing what to expect at any moment; and Cornelius the Triceratops, a noble and devoted creature. The parasaurolophus, Petrify, wasn’t really any of these qualities, but he was kind and could easily bring people together.
They banished the phantoms, but not for long. A fire killed all archosaurs, but Mira’s Lightside held their spirit for many years. Now, after these archosaurs were ‘gone’, more inhabitants arrived.
Permia Era
The new animals created villages. These were the wooly mammoths, the arctic wolves, the smilidons, and the dire wolves. When the phantoms found a way back in, Balloosh, the capital was seized. Many years were spent on this war. Unlikely friends Star, a dire wolf who would soon become a temporary leader of a wild pack, Fang, a smilidon who rescued over thirty of his kind, and Juno, an average arctic wolf who would soon save Balloosh, teamed up and fought the phantoms.
The enemy desired to grab all the heartstones, so they could make clones to attack the creatures with. The phantom queen, now that all the bad qualities of Darkside had swallowed her, began to become a dictator in a sort of way, killing all phantoms who didn’t do what she said or tried to rebel against her rule. Star grabbed her pack and evacuated them to a nearby castle. Fang was captured and imprisoned.
To protect these heartstones, Juno trapped themselves in some sort of temple, and fought off the phantoms there. They didn’t survive, but the heartstones were safe. They just needed to find the lines of power to return their animals. Fang escaped but died of starvation and stress, and all the dire wolves were infected by a disease, so they were ‘gone’ just like the archosaurs.
War Era
Long after, the Queen was so mad she demanded she needed to control the new animals of Jamaa - the ones we use today - so she could destroy the heartstones for herself. Every phantom obeyed, whether they liked it or not. She used an ancient seaweed to control certain animals. Zios and Mira couldn’t stop her themselves, growing old and weak, so they sent in the alphas.
The only alphas willing to meet face to face with the phantom queen were Greeley, a young doctor with a mysterious, traumatic past; Liza, a wise, wandering explorer; Sir Gilbert, a noble and athletic soldier; Graham, a curious and charismatic inventor; Peck, a creative, intelligent and positive artist; and Cosmo, a calm, reassuring botanist. They teamed up to form the main alphas.
They didn’t kill the Phantom Queen in time. She controlled the creatures, making them fight with each other. This became known as the Civil War. And this was the way hideouts were founded. Animals wanted their own hideouts to store weapons. Luckily, the war ended, but after quite a while; the heartstones were hidden within the war’s peril. Only the bunny, wolf, and monkey heartstones were secured.
Liza, Greeley, Gilbert, Graham, Peck, and Cosmo prepared to fight off the phantoms. The queen sent her soldiers and their allies to fight. A war had begun. They eventually won by using the powers of the ancient force, but the Phantom Queen had imprisoned Mira and Zios in the process. It is unknown if they are alive or not. They swore to protect their heartstones and the remaining.
This is why it is called the War Era.
New Age/Modern Age
This era was sort of the expansion age of Jamaa. Moku’ahi and other places were discovered and colonized. More animals returned. Peace began to thrive. The art of jamming, a form of shape-shift formed from Lightside, And the phantoms knew they would have to break a secret code to return. It was a very calm and mellow time to be alive. But of course, problems began to rise. Literally. Those pesky creatures returned, spreading negativity across Jamaa.
This was the New Age. In this era, things like the sets came out. These sets were of the many nations Zios knew. They eventually came to Jamaa and introduced their cultures. During the early New Age, queens ruled Jamaa. This is where fables developed. A few decades later, the Modern Age started. It’s modern day jamaa, where animals work together to uncover the past. They fight very well to preserve their land.

Does anyone know the best time to host a gameshow-ish type of thing? Its like minigames and stuff. Sometimes I try to host these, and I just can't get enough people whether it be no one joins or everyone has to leave midway. It seems that I'm canceling more of these shows from time to time. I really wanna host them since they're fun, and I spend a long time prepping for them, though they just take long. Usually like 1 or 2 hours. Someone said the problem might be the time I host them. I usually host them around 3-6 pm Est, its cuz that's when I'm usually free. Is this a good time? If it is does anyone know why I can't get people? if it isn't then does anyone know a good time?
