July has started, and as it's commonly known, the greatest meteor showers will begin this month, especially over the southern hemisphere, thus Africa gets bombarded by millions of tiny meteorites! (The Earth is hit with roughly 40 000 tonnes of space debris, bits leftover from the Solar System formation EACH YEAR. Crazy huh?)
Your lions noticed that the lights also appeared in forests as fireflies! Is this all connected? What's the mystery behind that?!
This month the sky is sparkling with lights! Some are brought by fiery rocks falling from the sky, and some by fireflies, near the ground. It might be fun to catch both of those, somehow!
Event Information
This event is highly focused on exploring.
The explore encounters exclusive to this month can be found in all biomes.
Your lion's karma and level, as well as the biome you explore in, do not matter for this event.
In July, the community is working to unlock two separate bars, which reveal a few different areas on the site.
The more we visit the Cloud Forest and gather Fireflies, the faster the Firefly Shop tiers will be unlocked.
The more Meteorite Shards we collect in Explore, the faster we will unlock the Zimbabwe area, Celestial Raffles, and the Celestial Stone!
This month's currencies are 
Fireflies and 
Meteorite Shards.
Fireflies can be gained from storyline quests and found in Explore, the Cloud Forest, and Zimbabwe, while Meteorite Shards can be gained from storyline quests and found in Explore.
The Interstellar Remnants applicator can be found alongside Meteorite Shards in Explore; however, it's very rare!
Explore Encounters
 |
||
| A quiet rustle catches your attention, causing you to notice Apedemak's daughter flirting with a suspicious looking lion. You decide not to disturb them - who knows what that odd lion would do to you. | ||
|---|---|---|
| NOTE: This is a day-only encounter. You will only come across it when it is day time on Lioden. |
 |
||
| Apedemak seems anxious, looking for his rebellious daughter. What? No, no, you didn't see a thing… | ||
|---|---|---|
| NOTE: This is a night-only encounter. You will only come across it when it is night time on Lioden. |
 |
||
| As you walk along your usual path, you meet Apedemak, the self-proclaimed god, roaring about his superpowers every time a star falls from sky. Not sure if this is real or he's just completely crazy, you decide to move on. | ||
|---|---|---|
| NOTE: This is a night-only encounter. You will only come across it when it is night time on Lioden. |
 |
||
| It's hard to miss this lion passing you by, as fire seems to spark from below his paws. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Action | Result | Reward |
| Attack! | Initiates a battle with Apollyon | +30 Meteorite Shards if the battle is won |
| Bow Down | Not sure if he's as weird as Apedemak and showing off some tricks - but just in case you decide to show respect and bow down your head a bit. The lion nods at you, says his name is Apollyon and that he might spare you when the End is near… | +10 Meteorite Shards |
 |
||
| Loud roaring and thumping sounds dragged your attention from exploring. Apollyon and Apedemak are fighting fiercely, and blood is dripping from their fangs! | ||
|---|---|---|
| Action | Result | Reward |
| Intervene | You jump to separate the two lions before they kill each other, but Apedemak seems very agitated and after a few snarky remarks leaves limping a bit. Apollyon smirks and gives you something for being brave enough to stand up for a weak lion like Apedemak. | +3 Karma +10 Meteorite Shards |
| Cheer! | You sit down close by and cheer for the lion you like more, while the other one is obviously pissed off. Eventually they beat the crap out of each other and separate, sneezing blood from their nostrils. You hang around a little bit to see if they dropped anything. | -3 Karma +10 Meteorite Shards |
| Observe | Quietly you lie down nearby and observe the fight until it resolves on its own with both lions being too bloody and tired to continue. As they leave, Apedemak passes you and gives you a small gift, perhaps thankful because you did not butt into his business. | +10 Meteorite Shards |
 |
||
| Ohhh, there's a bunch of fireflies flying around! Maybe you can catch some? | ||

|
|---|---|---|
| You find some glittering stones on the dried up river shore. | ||
| You notice something reflecting light in the grass. | ||
| You smell iron and sulfur somewhere nearby. You search the grass and find a relic from the sky! | ||

| NOTE: This encounter does not require you to do any actions, or press any buttons. | ||
 |
||
| You notice Apedemak on your path, flirting with some lioness. You hear him using douche lines… Such as how he's a god and her eyes are like stars. Blerh. | ||
|---|---|---|
| NOTE: This is a night-only encounter. You will only come across it when it is night time on Lioden. |
 |
||
| You notice Apedemak's daughter, Menhit, wandering in the sun. What a heavenly beauty. | ||
|---|---|---|
| NOTE: This is a day-only encounter. You will only come across it when it is day time on Lioden. |
 |

| You notice faint, flickering blue streaks of light. It's energy of lion souls, called Whispers, because a silky rustling noise and certain words can be heard around them. They are very active, disturbed by falling stars. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Action | Result | Reward |
| Cleanse | You hum something peaceful while letting the incense smoke entwine with the Whispers. They slowly rise up towards the sky. | +1-3 Whisper(s) towards quest! |

Cloud Forest
"Sup. This is my forest. Wanna go in, pay a toll. Give me 2 amusement item uses."
The Cloud Forest, run by a dudebro Long-Crested Eagle, is where you'll be earning the majority of your Fireflies.
Every 30 minutes, you can pay him two uses of amusement items (or "toys") of any kind to enter the Cloud Forest and grab some Fireflies. Please note that when you pay to enter, you are paying with item uses, not individual items.
When you first enter the forest, it will be alight with Fireflies buzzing all over!
The Cloud Forest is alive with lights! Are those spirits of rocks from the sky? You should try and catch them!
When you click the "Chase!" button, you will receive either 3, 4, 5, or 6 Fireflies. The amount you catch is determined at random.
You dart between the trees, trapping the Fireflies with your paws and onto the ground, bark and rocks. You scooped up [3, 4, 5, or 6] Fireflies and the rest got away!
Once you have grabbed some Fireflies, you are then on a 30 minute cooldown before you can enter the Cloud Forest again.
You scared off the fireflies! Maybe come back in 30 minutes when they come out again?
July Storyline
Firefly Shop
"Hi! I am.. kinda pregnant, you know. And I have this HUGE craving for Fireflies. Tit for tat, yes? You give me tasty lights, I give you what I found in the bushveld!"
The Firefly Shop is where you go to spend all of your hard-earned, shiny Fireflies.
The shopkeeper is a cute Angolan Genet who happens to be pregnant and is craving your yummy Fireflies.
The Celestial Lion
"Greetings, I am Apedemak, the Lion god. You don't believe me? Have you looked into the sky? The celestial rocks fall on my command! Try to explore around, maybe you'll find some for me?"
The more Meteorite Shards that are collected, the more tiers that are unlocked within the Celestial Lion's area! There are three tiers of the Celestial Lion: Explore Zimbabwe (Tier One), Wish Upon a Falling Star (Tier Two), and the Celestial Stone (Tier Three). Below, the tiers are expanded upon.
Explore Zimbabwe
The more Meteorite Shards you bring me, the more I can allow you to explore the Zimbabwe Lands.
You can explore seven different lands in Zimbabwe, each of them with a wide array of special prizes! You explore using 
Meteorite Shards.
One minute of exploring equals one Meteorite Shard spent.
Below shows the areas in which you can go exploring, and what you may receive depending on how long you explore for!
Explore a plateau full of rocky shelters where granite boulders seem to reach the sky.
|
Scavenge hills scarred by rocky ridges where grazers roam the lands.
|
Wander through ancient ruins and formations where food is scarce.
|
Visit a rainforest crowned with monumental waterfalls.
|
Wander across mountainous lands marked by rocky cliffs and waterfalls.
|
Scavenge sandstone hills shaped by erosion of elements and time.
|
Scavenge many waterholes located in plains flooded by the Zambezi River every rainy season.
|
Scavenge the giant mountain range covered with evergreen forests and grassy slopes. Heavy rainfalls feed the streams and give shelter to the endemic Nyanga Trout.
|
Scavenge the massive, man-made lake, where nature has settled in for good. Birds wade in the waters that are full of life. Maybe, if you're lucky, you could capture a Tigerfish or African Sharptooth Catfish!
|
After exploring, you also have a chance of getting random flavour text and fights! The flavour text does not give you any other items.
Encountering fights gives you a clickable link; you don't have to participate in the fights, and the items you receive from exploring are given to you regardless of whether you fight or not.

Wish Upon a Falling Star
If you wish upon a star with a few fireflies, a Celestial Lioness from my harem might be granted to you in our twice daily 12 hour raffle.
Wish Upon A Falling Star, also known as the Celestial Raffle, is where your kings can go to have a chance at impressing ladies from Apedemak's pride! These ladies are extremely unique - some of them have very rare bases, while others have rare markings and eyes that can only be achieved through impressing a lioness from Apedemak's haremn! Each lady stays up for 12 hours, and has a fee of 
6 Fireflies to impress her.
The lionesses will be swapped out at 12am and 12pm Lioden time, disregarding when the tier is unlocked. Your impression doesn't matter, so losers and studs alike can test their luck!
There are two types of lionesses in the raffles, Type 1 and Type 2. Each raffle has a 50/50 chance of generating either type - it is not set, and is random each raffle.
| Type | Base | Eyes | Markings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Stratosphere | Galaxy | 1 Celestial, Skyward, Sidereal, or Sunset marking |
| Type 2 | Celestial, Skyward, Sidereal, Sunrise, Sunset, Leonid | Dawn, Starshine, Sunglow, Draconid | 1 Leonid marking |

Celestial Stone
Lions, you have brought me many shards. To show my gratitude, I will lead you to a sacred Celestial Stone. CAREFUL though, do not touch it!
Apedemak stands in front of the stone. "DO NOT TOUCH THIS STONE! It's very radiant, but its power lets lions be one with the Celestial Realms. Tell you what. You can let your lions touch it, but make sure that… you know. You won't miss them…"
As soon as your lion goes up to touch the stone, you'll see a message pop up.
Are you sure you wish to sacrifice this lion? They will die and not show up in your dynasty!
Are you 100% sure?!? This cannot be reversed!
Upon touching it, you'll be given emotional flavour text describing your lion's journey into stardust, and your reward.
You lead [NAME] to the Stone. [NAME] touches it, curious about the radiance, and vapors immediately into something that Apedemak calls stardust. "Don't worry," he says. "They will return next year as Meteorite Shards, falling from the sky when I call them!" Unsure about the fate of the lion that the Stone just killed, you accept the reward that Apedemak offers you: ___.
| 30% Energy | 30 SB | 3% IMP | EXP (Level x 20) |
Cubs and nursing lionesses cannot be sacrificed. If cubs were chased, she will still be classified as nursing. Lions must not be hunting, stuck in a trade (or trade offer), be on a NCL cooldown, be custom, broodmothers, protected by a broodmother, frozen, secured, patrolling, in raffles, or dead.
You can only sacrifice 44 lions per day! The stone has no effect on karma whatsoever.
This IS permanent! Make sure you properly label your Murder Stone fodder, because they won't be able to come back once they're turned into stardust!
