Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yup, everyone has them so here's ours! They really aren't that bad - just go ahead and read them. biggrin
1. No stealing the art, please! You see this one in just about every shop, I know! But please, be honest and keep your sticky fingers off of our work!
2.Begging = Blacklist We believe the Anam are very reasonably priced based on the work that is put in them. Begging & whining will only annoy us. Don't do it! If you do, you will find yourself on the blacklist and will NEVER get a chance for anything from any of the shops we work with.
3. Don't PM orders. Sales are chaotic enough without being PM'd in the middle. I will most likely ignore it during the sale anyway, and you will miss your chance for the egg you want!
4. Flamers shall have a bucket of cold water dumped on them. Not gonna have it. This is a NPDZ (no put-down zone) and it won't be tolerated in this shop!
5. Chatspeak is not a language! Please don't use it. Harper majored in English and taught it for 5 years. Don't make her revert back to her teacher-self!
6. One egg per person, per flatsale. The only exception is if you are being a proxy, then you may get one for you and one for a friend.




If you want to presale an Anam from a flatsale, use the form below. Presale price is 1k (unless otherwise indicated in the sale thread) and presales open 24 hours before the sale itself. Be sure to use the form below so we know it is a presale purchase!
Order using this form:
Flatsales will start when the shop mule says GO in big red letters. At that point it is first come, first serve! Please don't edit your post If you change your mind on the name, it can change it ONCE for you after the sale is over - just post that it needs to be changed.
Order using this form:

Once it is confirmed that you got the egg you asked for, send the trade ASAP!! Unpaid for eggs will be sold after 24 hours have passed, unless the site is having glitches. In the event of site problems, you have 24 hours after I contact you via PM that the issue has been solved.

What does Anam Ciall mean?
Anam Ciall is Gaelic for "Soul Wisdom"
How long do they take to grow up?
Egg to youth takes about 2-3 days, and youth to adult takes 2 weeks.
Did you draw these?
Yup! Lineart is by Harperking and is based on traditional Celtic knotworks
Can I have one for free?
Nope. It wouldn't be much of a shop if we gave them away!
But you gave that person a free/discounted one!
That's our right as a shopkeepers. Most likely that person did something nice for us and Iwere given one as a thank you.
Do you do art trades?
Yes!
Do I have to RP or keep a diary for my pet?
Nope, not at all! It would be nice if you popped in here once and a while, but we're not going to make you! If you want to RP, though, go right ahead! We love to read what people write!
Do I have to use a Celtic name?
Nope - you can name your pet whatever you like!
Is is pronounced keltic or seltic?
The correct pronunciation is keltic with the hard k sound!
Can I work here?
Right now we don't need any help. We may occasionally ask for guest colorists. If you want to apply, PM the shop mule and link some of your work for us to see. About twice a year there is an "Everyone is a Colorist" event where anyone can color an egg & Anam - watch the news for announcement of the next one!

Want to have an offspring from your Anam? Well, now you can! Anam have genetics that they can pass on to future generations. Flatsale eggs will have their genetics posted, offspring will reveal their genetics when clutched!
Breeding is gender free - no limits on love here! whee
Breeding fee is 500g A random pick determines if you get 1,2, or 3 eggs. If you don't own both the Anam, we must have permission from the other owner either in the thread or via PM. You decide what to do with the offspring - just let us know! Sometimes an extra (4th) egg will be in the clutch - if that happens, then the egg will be sold or raffled here in the thread!

Curious about the genetics? This is what we have! This may change (meaning more) if I can draw some of the ideas I have! Click on the word Example after each mutation to see the ones we have so far!

If you have found yourself here, in my secluded glade, then surely you are curious about both who I am and this lovely creature with me.
My name is Harper and I am a Bard of the old ways. I have served my 7 years learning, and my 7 practicing, and now at last I approach the end of my 7 years of wandering to claim the name Master Bard. Long have I studied, - the music and the magic of my people, the stories that teach and remind us, and the herbs and spells to heal and protect. Even as an infant my family knew I was different, for the very beasts of the fields and birds of the air would visit me in my cradle. When Bright Bridgit Herself claimed me for a bard there were no tears from my family for the loss of me, for they had long known my destiny was not with them.
My friend here is Cara, and she is the first of her kind to cross the wall from this world and the next. I was quite surprised when she first appeared to me. It was a quiet evening and I was playing some simple tunes by the fire, enjoying the solitude. She just - appeared - out of the flames and as calm as you please coiled up next to me! Her body was near half my own in length, and her wise eyes spoke of a knowledge beyond anything I had experienced.
I am Cara she had said. And you, you are the one that has called me here. To you I bind myself, to offer aid, wisdom, and perhaps - friendship. There are others of my kind to follow, and together you and I will find those eggs and find the souls that call to them. This is but the beginning of what we shall do together, Harper of mine.'
To say I was astounded would be an understatement. I felt...something...reaching out and binding itself to my very being -to the awen that is the core of creativity. Since that night we two have wandered, finding clutches of eggs and also finding the souls that called these beings into our world. They are the Anam Ciall - the soul's wisdom that will teach us that which we need to learn if we will but listen.
