Bartholomew's Tithe
Bartholomew sits upon a throne of velvet cushions in the drawing room, flicking his tail in boredom and occasionally sharpening his claws on the wisteria vines. He allows the Minikin to live, provided they pay the Tithe: polished trinkets scavenged from Elara’s study, the finest treats from her enchanted pantries, and entertainment in the form of large music ensembles. Should the Minikin’s offerings fail to amuse him, he grows restless, wreaking havoc throughout the Manor.
Overview
Cycle Duration
3 Months
Bartholomew's Tithe is a community-wide effort! All points earned by every player contribute to a single progress bar. If the Tithe is fulfilled, everyone gets a shiny collectible statuette of choice! If the Tithe is failed, however, the reward might be a little dustier...
The Tithe resets every 3 months, regardless of the previous cycle results! In the future, it will align with more Seasonal content!
