Apeiron’s Sacred Star Presale Codex I: Sic Itur Ad Astra

Greetings, godlings! Welcome to our Wednesday blog post. Two things on the agenda today: the first of three Codices about our Sacred Star Presale and Whitelists, and the announcement of our first Mini Guild Wars! Exciting stuff: let’s get into it.
So then: next month we plan to hold our Sacred Star Presale. A quick refresher for you: Star NFTs in Apeiron are similar to the land in other NFT games. Each Star has one or more Orbital Tracks — you can take one of your Planets and “park” it in one of the empty Tracks and it will start to receive an aging boost from the Star. Aging faster will help the Planet to unlock more Relic slots, which themselves can be used to insert Relics into the Planet, allowing you to power up your EDEN and Avatar.
Our Sacred Star Presale will be similar to our Primeval Planet Presale. Users will be able to purchase Stella Tabula chests among three different rarities (Regular, Celestial, and Empyrean), with higher tiers of chests containing higher rarities of Stars and Astronomicals (for customizing your Star) NFTs. Different rarity stars will have their own unique color and size. Star Tiers distribution are broken down as follows:
Each Stella Tabula chest will contain ONE guaranteed Star NFT and then a certain number of Astronomicals NFTs depending on chest tier. Astronomicals could be asteroids, comets, supernovas, or even suns! These provide additional boosts to your Star’s passive powers. There will also be special super-rare Celestial Objects! Celestial Objects are cosmetic effects that give an extra flair to your Star.
Stars are all part of different Constellations. Constellations can either be Major or Minor, with Major containing more Stars of generally higher rarity, while Minor Constellations are less stars of lower rarity. If you are an Alliance and manage to collect all the Stars from a single Constellation, you’ll be able to access even more passive buffs for your Planets!
Prices! For the Sacred Star Presale, we will be making the following Stars from the Axis Mundi, the Center of Creation, available:
Empyrean Stella Tabula Chest — 5ETH, 62 available for purchase
Guaranteed one Tier 4–6 Star
Guaranteed four Tier 1–3 Astronomicals NFTs
Small chance at coming with a special Celestial Object.
Celestial Stella Tabula Chest — 1.8ETH, 204 available for purchase
Guaranteed one Tier 7–9 Star
Guaranteed two Tier 1–3 Astronomicals NFTs
Stella Tabula Chest — 0.66ETH, 207 available for purchase
Guaranteed one Tier 10–11 Star
Guaranteed one Tier 1–3 Astronomical NFT
So, we can imagine that you might be interested in getting a Star for yourself! Just like with our previous presale, we’ll have VID (Very Important Dood) Whitelist and regular Whitelist access to the Sacred Star Presale before we open to the public. We’d also like to note that we’ll be making a small number of Stars from the Axis Mundi, the Center of Creation, available during our first wave of Expeditions.
Now, there’s only one way to get on the VID Whitelist: you need to own 11 unique Origins Collection Apostle NFTs. That’s it! Once you have those, you’re good to go. We’ll do a snapshot on Opensea at a later date to confirm who owns the Apostles, and those holders will then be eligible to fill in an application form and claim their slot.
For the regular Whitelist, you’ll need to earn Marks on our Discord server. We have six different Marks you can earn through various means:
AlphaDood Mark — Propose and host a successful event in our community.
Rumbler Mark — Participate in Rumble events or any community events hosted by our Council Members.
DowntoEarth Mark — Be helpful, respectful and chill in the chat.
AiryFairy Mark — Be creative! Make some Apeiron content, including music, story writing, art, videos, etc. and share with us.
Ballin’ Mark — Earn SOULs from Doodiquest channels and buy it in the SOUL Shop.
Legacy Mark — If you’ve participated in past events, you’ll get this one.
So how many Marks do you need to make the Whitelist? Four! You will need 4 Marks to claim the “🌠WL Eligible” role on Discord. Those who have the role can fill out a form, and we’ll then select qualifying participants to be whitelisted for the Presale.
We’ll have a limited amount of Whitelist slots available on a first come, first serve basis for Apeiron asset holders as well! Here’s the breakdown:
100 [🌟VID Whitelisted] Slots
Only available to those who hold 11 unique Origins Apostle NFT
400 [⭐Whitelisted] Slots
80 Slots reserved for 8 unique Dood Apostle NFT holders
100 Slots reserved for Primeval Planet holders + 1-3 Marks
We’ll reserve 180 slots from the regular Whitelist as demarcated above until AUGUST 3rd. After that, it’s a free-for-all, and any eligible applicant can claim an available WL slot. So act fast, act now to lockdown your slot!
Please note that we will also be doing periodic snapshots to ensure that those who hold reserved slots still hold the requisite NFT assets until the mint date. Those who are found to have traded or removed assets without notifying us will lose their reserved slot permanently.
Ok, so now let’s mention Expeditions. We discussed Expeditions last month (read more HERE), but basically these let our Planet holders stake their Planets for a chance to win rewards — and that includes a small number of Stella Tabula Chests! If you are one of our Planet holders and prepared to stake your Planet along with some tokens, you can consider going on an Expedition!
And that’s the long and the short of it! The hunt for Whitelist starts today. Once you’ve got the Marks you need, you can send a ticket on our Discord server and we’ll hook you up with your Whitelist. You’ve got a month until the Sacred Star Presale, so act fast to secure yourself a slot before they all run out!
Now then, onto the next item on the agenda: Mini Guild Wars! So over the past few months, we’ve been building up connections with gaming communities and guilds from all around the world, and we thought it would be awesome if we could all come together and play some games. So that’s just what we’ve organized!
The First Mini Guild Wars will be a single-elimination League of Legends tournament. We chose League of Legends as it’s one of the most popular games on the planet, so we can get a lot of people to participate. Plus it’s a fun game to watch! Here’s how it’ll all break down:
Please note that for this tournament, the Ro16 will be held on servers catering to where our guild are located, but the Quarterfinals, Semis, and Grand Finals will all be held on the SEA Garena LoL server. This was a tough choice for us: in a perfect world, we could have everyone play on the same server with the same ping, but technically it is simply impossible. That being the case, we have to look for solutions, and we decided on the SEA server since we have the most number of guilds on that server (fully half of the tournament bracket).
Therefore, if you are one of the guildies participating in this tournament, you will want to download the SEA Garena LoL client, install the game, and prepare your account so that you have the champs and summoner spells you want when you enter into the Quarterfinals.
Prizes! Let’s talk prizes:
1st place — 2000 USDC for team and 200 Foonie Emblems for Guild Community
2nd place — 500 USDC for team and 50 Foonie Emblems for Guild Community
3rd place — 250 USDC for team and 25 Foonie Emblems for Guild Community
4th place — 25 Foonie Emblems for Guild Community
We’ll also have prizes for our viewers! Each day of the tournament (this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday), you can vote for one of your favorite teams. Anyone who votes can enter a raffle for Foonie Emblems! And hey, if you vote for the winning team, you’ll have a higher chance of winning ;)
Remember that Foonie Emblems are tickets that can be used to exchange for any number of NFTs in our community.
Finally, we’d like to stress that this Mini Guild Wars is for practice, fun, and games. We know that there will be account and regional issues, but we really wanted to do this with all of our partners, so we needed to make some exceptions and come up with some jerry-rigged fixes. Despite the technical challenges, we hope that everyone will come together and we can build an atmosphere of fun and brotherhood. We’re all just a bunch of Doods (and godlings), after all ❤
Cool, so them’s the details for the Mini Guild Wars. It all kicks off this Friday, so tune into some matches — or if you’re participating, get ready to rumble!
Any questions? Good! Head on over to our Discord, Telegram, and/or Twitter and hit us up, we’d love to hear from you.
And as always, thanks for reading. We’ll see you next time.
