Game Design
The graphics in the game are hand-painted and have a stylized, semi-realistic look.

Bases
Bases for Enivi are classified in 2 ways, Modern and Legacy.

Legacy bases have been imported from the old version of the game, World of Eniv. These bases are cartoony in style and do not match with the new game's current look. It is no longer possible to create a new Enivi in this style.

Modern bases are hand-painted in a semi-realistic, 3D style. There are more than 20 variations of the base coat, from simple color changes to fully themed coats (including Puffin, Glitter, and Rainbow). An array of markings are available as well, from classics like dun and piebald to rarer markings like peacock appaloosa and fantasy markings such as "drizzle" and "winter breeze".

Herds
Rather than "breeds", Enivi are categorized by "herd". More info about each herd can be found in the Keepers of Eniv World Lore page.

Ortusi The Ortusi are strong, horse-like Enivi. They are painted with a strong build, powerful legs, and the long, curved neck common in many horse breeds.

Vespiri Vespiri are sleek, deer-like Enivi. These Enivi are painted with long, slender legs and a more delicate frame similar to cervids.

Lunaesi The Lunaesi are painted as shorter and more broad, similar to sheep or goats. These Enivi come with fluffy manes as well as their general "hair".

Druaesi Druaesi are the smallest of the Enivi herds. They're portrayed with a small, thin frame made nearly entirely of plants and/or stone.

Kids Kids are young Enivi who haven't yet earned the blessing of their herd's deity. They lack the herd-specific traits. This base is based on a mix of foals, kids, and fawns.

Gameplay
Keepers of Eniv is a browser game meant to be played in a casual manner. Players obtain their first Enivi through their Welcome Package, as well as a few Adoption Tokens to use in the Adoption Center if they'd like to claim an Enivi from there as well.

Customization
Players can customize their Enivi with a variety of traits, markings, backgrounds, and accessories. These can be bought with in-game currency, rewarded through dailies, or earned through events and prompts.

Unlike many other browser games, Keepers of Eniv allows players to customize their characters with a little more freedom. Players may go as far as to paint their own variation of markings on their Enivi, or can use the pre-made markings made available in the game. A full character creator is currently in development for players who lean more toward the literary arts.

Players can also customize their Enivi with accessories and backgrounds bought with in-game currency or earned through prompts, events, and crafting.

Earning Star Shards
Star Shards are the earnable in-game currency for Keepers of Eniv. Players can earn Star Shards in a variety of ways.

Games and Dailies
Playing games and participating in dailies is one of the main ways players earn Star Shards in Keepers of Eniv. These can be through the Daily Gift, Fishing, or many more games (listed in Minigames section). Players can also sell the items earned through activities to other players or back to the shops from their inventory.

Visual Art, Literary Art, and Roleplaying
For more creative players, character building can be a key part of earning Star Shards. Players are rewarded for creating drawings, paintings, short stories, poems, and other creative character building pieces. Roleplays in the Discord server or on the site forums can also be submitted for Star Shards and EXP.

Prompts
Specialty prompts are available year-long to help players move creatively or to inspire them to try new artistic outlets. Completing a prompt gives players a bonus on their submissions. For example, if a player submits a haiku, they get the general rewards for writing the haiku, and an additional bonus and reward for the haiku prompt.

Minigames
From fishing to the Daily Gift, there are a handful of activities to do on Keepers of Eniv;

Fishing
Fishing is a task that can be completed 3 times a day (5 for Premium account holders). This is a simple game where players use bait like lures or cheese to attempt to catch fish. Along with fish, players can snag a variety of other items and achievements.

Daily Gift
The Daily Gift is an advent calendar that runs each month. Every day, players can claim a reward that ranges from common berries to rare markings. If players collect their gift every day they'll also be awarded with a more exclusive Bonus Gift.

Exploring
Players may send their Enivi into a selected area of the map 5 times a day. Enivi will search an area for an hour before returning with whatever they've found. The rewards depend on the area searched and the season.

Gardening
Gardening is exactly what it sounds like! Players can plant seeds and water them daily. The crops grow each day they're watered and finally come into harvest, when players can pick them and use what they've grown in crafting or sell their wares. Be warned though, if a plant is not watered it will die and need to be replanted.

Beauty Contest
Each Friday a new Beauty contest is started. Players can enter their Enivi into the contest for a small fee, then vote on entries they like as well. On Fridays at 12:00pm PST the top 3 Enivi are awarded a special item and a seasonal winner's wreath.

Crafting
Using items they've found around the site from fishing, exploring, gardening, and prompts, players can craft new accessories, traits, and companions. These range from dyes to recolor their accessories to seasonal wings and mystical companions.

Druckworth Academy of Arcane Magic
The Druckworth Academy is Eniv's premier school of magic. Players can teach their Enivi magic and how to craft their own spells which can be used in prompts and battles. The Druckworth Academy has also been the center of some plot points in monthly events.

Scavenger Hunts
Scavenger Hunts are a key part of many Keepers of Eniv monthly events. Event currency is hidden around the site with clues pointing to each location. Players can work alone or in groups to find all the locations.

Seasonal Games
Some games are only available during specific season, such as the Summer Bug Hunt, where players can catch a number of bugs each day.

Breeding
Breeding between Enivi is considered a magical process. Enivi are not related to one another biologically, and are instead created through the magic of the world itself, infused with the magic of the 2 Enivi pulling the new Kid into existence.

How to breed
To start the breeding process, one of the Enivi needs to obtain a Sacred Lily. These can be found through Daily Gifts, prompts, and exploring.

Players must be at least level 2 to have their Enivi breed, and breeding may only take place between Enivi on adult bases.

Players submit their 2 Enivi for Breeding via the "New Life" prompt, and the new character is created. If the breeding is between 2 players, the player who submits the prompt and Mystic Lily will be granted the offspring.

Inheriting Traits
Traits are passed from parents to their children based on their rarity. If two parents have the same rare trait, it gives a second chance at obtaining the trait, rather than doubling the chances.

Breeding Enhancements
Some items can be used to enhance chances in breeding. Twinberries guarantee twins. Mysterious Slime has a variety of effects, which can be either positive or negative when breeding. These range from losing stats or losing a twin to getting random legendary traits or blessings. Use at your own risk.
