The only newspaper of the Inkbit Kingdom
2,999 ninja. One Ink Village. One Black Lotus.
High in the mountains behind the Capital, above the clouds that hide the Pet Meadows, lies the Ink Village. Its children learn to move like ink on paper: silent, fast and impossible to wipe away.
Every scroll in the village is painted on old brown paper, and so is every ninja. Nobody outside the mountains has ever seen the village gate, until now.
Students start at the Academy and earn their plate as Genin. The good ones become Chunin, the best become Jonin, and a handful wear the Elite Plate. Above them sit five Village Masters, and above them a single Grand Master in the maroon hat.
Not every ninja stayed loyal. Some cut a slash through their village plate and walked away. The worst of them gathered under a black lotus: one Lotus Lord and eight Thorns. Between the village and the lotus wander the Rogue Ninja, who answer to no one.
They guard the mountain passes, carry messages across the Kingdom and keep an eye on the Arena below. Each ninja wears their rank on their head: a cloth band, a plate, a hood, a straw hat or a master's hat. Who holds which rank stays hidden in the shadows until the reveal.
Both of last night's openings sold out. All 5,555 Inkbit Tides cards have left the harbour for 547 households, and all 2,999 Inkbit Shinobi have been registered in the Ink Village by 584 households.
Both collections now trade at about $0.03. Card players are already comparing pulls, and somewhere out there is a single Sovereign. Prices are as shown on OpenSea; this is a newspaper, not financial advice.
The harbour taverns are clearing their tables. Tonight at 21:00 the first Inkbit Tides packs go on sale: 5,555 pirate cards from 444 designs in twenty tiers, and every pack is free, ten per wallet.
The packs are only on the docks for four hours, until 01:00. Somewhere inside are 55 animated foil cards and a single Sovereign. Cards are revealed right after the mint, and the full game rules are already printed on Inkbit News. The Ink Village opens its gate the same night at 20:36.
High in the mountains behind the Capital, the gate of the Ink Village opens tonight at 20:36. 2,999 Inkbit Shinobi are coming down from the clouds, from Academy Students and Genin to Jonin, Village Masters and one Grand Master.
Entry is free, ten ninja per wallet, and the gate stays open for two days, until November 5 at 20:36. Somewhere among them hide a Lotus Lord and eight Thorns of the Black Lotus. Their faces stay in the shadows until the reveal.
