Maulwurf Von Trap: Wizard, that strange something outside... I think it is changing, splintering. Look at it!

Maulwurf Von Trap: Oh my shock face! What did we just see? That... that hole leads to the greater Spiral. And now pieces of that Something have-

Maulwurf Von Trap: I think this is one of the rare events that is beyond the understanding of Musicology. We must consult an expert in all things Astrological.

Maulwurf Von Trap: Talk to Scholar Qyburn in his office. I will stay and keep an eye on this thing.

Arcanum - Astral:

Qyburn Stellargaze: Oh, Wizard, I'm glad you're here. I need a second opinion. Does space smell funny to you? Not always, of course, but in, like, the last few minutes

Qyburn Stellargaze: WHAT? There was a thing outside that shot other things into the Spiral? Oh my, what kind of thing was it? Never mind.

Qyburn Stellargaze: I have a machine that can scan it and tell me. It's the Stellarometer over there. Go push the button, let's see what it does.

Qyburn Stellargaze: So that's what it does. Huh. I never used it before, just pulled it out of storage. Let's see what it says about your thing.

Qyburn Stellargaze: Hmm. The thing outside is composed of music and Nothing? Nothing can be made out of nothing. Stupid machine, no wonder I never unpacked you.

Qyburn Stellargaze: What do you mean that makes sense, Wizard? Never mind, I'll go see for myself. Just let me grab the remote control pad and I'll meet you out there**.**

Arcanum (Sybil area)

Maulwurf Von Trap: So Herr Qyburn doesn't know what our mysterious thing is either. Ah, but you think it was made by the World Synthesizer?

Maulwurf Von Trap: Music and Nothing, that sounds right. Your Nothing friend was absorbed into the machine that warps the Song of Creation after all.

Qyburn Stellargaze: WHAT? That thing out there is made of Nothing? THE Nothing? From the World Synthesizer... it's a world made of the Nothing?

Maulwurf Von Trap: I think we should call it Novus. Because it is truly something new, yah?

Qyburn Stellargaze: It's not new! We studied it: a void that should've consumed and canceled out reality. But didn't! Perhaps because it didn't know about reality...

Qyburn Stellargaze: Until now! It's okay, it's okay. Stop panicking! I think my Stellarometer can find out where it went and send you there.

Qyburn Stellargaze: Yes you, Wizard. You met this thing, invited it in, made friends. Now come over here and I'll teleport you to where it went.

The Unformed World (Zone):

Qyburn Stellargaze: Wizard, Wizard are you there? Is this Stellar Communicator working? Did the Stellarometer zap you into an empty sky? Are you falling?

Qyburn Stellargaze: No? Good. What are you seeing? An incomplete world? Checkerboards? That doesn't make any sense! What else?

Qyburn Stellargaze: Beams of energy flying off into the sky? Oh my... those sound like Leylines, visible Leylines connecting this world to... what?

Qyburn Stellargaze: There's a creature? A living creature? Is it friendly? Does it talk? Does it have teeth? Friendliness is inversely proportional to tooth sharpness.

Unknown: HOWLS

Qyburn Stellargaze: That sounded unfriendly!

Qyburn Stellargaze: Take this Stellar Communicator to talk to me through my Universal Pad Doohickey here. Now hold on. Stellarometer travel is... discombobulating.

Qyburn Stellargaze: **Wizard... that new spell... it blends the Schools of Magic. How? My Stellarometer readings are... ah, sparks!

The Nothing: Wizard! I... am... here... I am forming...

Qyburn Stellargaze: I think you should come back before more laws of magic and reason are distorted around you. But I don't know how. My machine is des-

Qyburn Stellargaze: There's a World Door now?** AH! My Paddulator!

Qyburn Stellargaze: Wizard! Wizard, come back static Arcanum. static New... Fire... Everywhere... static on fire! small explosion

Arcanum:

Maulwurf Von Trap: Ah, Wizard, we were having the trouble with Qyburn's machines, so I tried to fix them with Musicology and well, you know how that goes... BOOM!

This is likely an actual Novus quest... but, something is missing. I'm not even going to bother with the speakers..

Which means this could take a-

Help! Help! Oh... Moo Bu... the Puncher of the Sky Serpent... you have returned to us in our hour of need!

Seems so.

Can I have your autograph? Or get a Photomance with you or-

Weren't you yelling for help?

What? Right! The Horse-Lords seized a Temple of the Sacred Yarn with the Acolyte still inside! Someone must save him.

On it. Come on, Wizard, it's this way.

Do you seek the Captain? His yarn and yours no longer intertwine. He has what he sought and now he has left.

And what did he seek?

Knowledge. The Horde wishes to reach the Stone, but its winds tear at sails and it sits beyond the reach of any ladder.

By the Steppes, you're Moo Bu - Stomper of the World Turtle! I heard you retired in disgrace.

Something like that.

Well, when General Tung-Ak-

"...ascends to the Stone of Heaven, the clouds themselves will be squished." I've heard it. I was unimpressed.

Clouds are already squishy, Captain. Your General simply coils yarn in endless circles. While, Wizard, Moo Bu, our thread leads us outside.

I hate this place.

Do note that there was a "teaser" of Novus on September 1st.

In short, KI went to Gamescom 2022, revealed Novus to the press there, and an article on game-guide.fr appeared as a result one day before the official teaser.

17 Total (First Teaser: 2nd September 2022)

Ratbeard drops a teaser on his stream today, showing an updated view of the School Pips UI. Notably, this has changed from our 12th Teaser on October 25th.

• The 17th Total Teaser & 7th Novus Teaser is released on IslePlay, and later on to TikTok with the Caption: "Wizard... join me..."

  • The teaser itself is super interesting, showing one of our new zones, several "World Doors" & the Divine Paradox, with the code "IAMWAITING".

  @wizard101 Wizard... join me... #NovusIsForming ♬ original sound - Wizard101

Another TikTok Teaser is dropped! Our 15th Tease. This seems to be focusing on a... fire spell? What with the flames and everything! Here's the announcement.

Wizard... speak to me... Code is IAMMASTERY

Droppedon October's KI Live, this teaser seems to depict colonists in shock at a "creation". This was actually like three minutes into the show!

_N.B: We did get the TikTok Teaser early on KI Live,but for documentation purposes it's listed for tomorrow. _

Ratbeard drops the mother of all teasers - School Pips! They work like both regular Pips & Mastery and can be** changed mid-combat!** Read here for notes.

Oh, and we get a look at the "Pins", presumably used to unlock the slots?

Beastmoon teasers going out with a bang! Here's our fifth and final teaser - Myth Colossus!

Note the minion minion summon with this form! This is our 11th total teaser.

Surprise! Ratbeard drops a teaser (Stream) for the new Dual-School "jewel slots" (Pins) we saw on October 6th (if it rings a bell or something)

Here comes the Death Wolf Warrior with some pretty unique spells! Teased on Cam's stream and later tweeted.

Our fourth teaser (8th total) - this time focusing on the more obvious colonial aspect of Novus, showing a Marleybonian dog and a flag planted in a new Novus zone!

Code: IAMEVERYWHERE

@wizard101 Wizard... see me... #NovusIsForming ♬ original sound - Wizard101

3rd Beastmoon Teaser (and 7th Overall) drops on Cam's Stream - it's the Fire Rat Thief!

The 2nd Beastmoon Teaser and our **6th Teaser **dropped on Cam's stream. The Ice Draconian. That's a pretty cool effect on the second card.

Cam is back with the Beastmoon teasers! Here's the Balance Minotaur for this one!

Moving away from weird creepy teasers with static effects, Wizard101Devs posts some icons, showing a Sword, a Shield & an Explosion?

October 21st update: We wouldn't know this, but these are new jewel-slots designed to support dual-school!

Unsurprisingly, it's another TikTok Novus teaser! This one appears to show Fish singing in a sort of polaris-like glacial zone? Code is IAMFISH.

Wizard… hear me… #NovusIsForming https://t.co/AoMIDer3rZ

Well then, if we didn't all see it coming. Looks like it's TikTok teasers this year. This one appears to show dancing Irk Mobs... in some sort of Arcanum void zone? IAMHERE.

Wizard... find me... #NovusIsForming https://t.co/JnKYVITz0c

Right on cue for Wizard101's 14th, we get our first glimpses of Novus! Originally shown at Gamescom, this is in the form of a blog post. The post contains a video **showing off the bundle house, **and the world-exclusive logo! We also get some pretty rad concept art.

This section will focus on Zone Names we have received in the files so far. Unfortunatelyf, not a lot to go off of.

1. Stone of Heaven (V_r721865.WizardDev / August 9th 2022)
2. Catmandu (V_r720843.WizardDev / 20th July 2022)

We don't have much more than this in terms of zones.

Actually quite amazing how many quest-titles we have already! This may not be in order.

1. Something Wicked That Way Goes (August 2nd / V_r721464.WizardDev)
2. Executive Action (August 16th / V_r722136.Wizard_1_490)
3. The Palace of the Jaded(^)
4. Golden Horde Mode (^)
5. **The Longest Yarn (August 4th 2022 / **V_r721707.WizardDev)
6. Gold Meddlers(^) [Aug 16]
7. Illegally Smoldering Cats(^)
8. A Hello to Arms(^)
9. Felinious Monk(^)
10. Ba-Zheng-A(^)
11. The Irk Store Called(^)

For some reason, a lot of the NPCs we have right now are unicorns? Many of these were added through the course of test realm.

Top row | Left to right:

1. Unicorn_NobleF_A(Tue, August 9th 2022 / V_r721865.WizardDev)

These models are early, so we have nothing but the file names for these.

We know that the bottom row are Mobs because they have Death and "GetHit" animations. They're quite... unique especially the moustache.
