CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Outside of the Meadow, a perilous tear in the very fabric of reality has opened, revealing a dangerous plane of existence known as the Rift! Within the Rift are extremely powerful mice that bear a familiar resemblance. Could this be evidence of what caused the abundance of mice in Gnawnia? Could the Rift be feeding power into our realm, strengthening the mice around us?<br/><br/>

The King is calling upon the most experienced of hunters to help fight back the mice of the Gnawnia Rift. Hunters with the rank of Count/Countess and above, prepare for a challenge!

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Rifts are just barely within our plane of existence, meaning you're going to need some very specialized equipment in order to locate and enter one. This sort of phenomenon is not entirely a mystery, however. Rifts are similar to the portal located in the Forbidden Grove and to the shift that occurs in the Twisted Garden, only more intense and powerful. After careful experimentation involving the effects of Living Garden Essences, researchers have been able to use them to calibrate a device capable of locating the Rift and allowing a hunter to enter one.<br/><br/>
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
These Rift Detectors require essences to calibrate. However, due to the immediate concern over the Rift, the King has ordered Larry to assemble a stockpile of Rift Detectors to equip any hunter that solved the mystery surrounding the Dance Hall power generator. If you've found all three clues pertaining to the power surges that occured during the Birthday Dance Party, head to the Cartographer at the Vacant Lot to obtain a Rift Detector!<br/><br/>
 
If you have yet to unlock the power generator mystery, there's still time! Head to the Vacant Lot to collect clues and learn of the mystery of the Rift.<br/><br/>
 
Finally, once the Vacant Lot closes and its shops leave, the Rift Detector will be for sale at the Living Garden Cartographer at its full cost of gold and essences.<br/><br/>
 
'''For a limited time, Rift Detectors are available at the Vacant Lot.<br/>
 
'''If you've helped solve the power generator mystery, grab a Rift Detector!<br/><br/>
 
'''Once the Vacant Lot closes, Rift Detectors will be sold at the Living Garden Cartographer<br/><br/>
 
  
====Utilizing the Rift Power Type====
+
----
  
Current trap technology is only marginally effective within a Rift. A new power type is required to hunt the powerful mice which reside within a Rift, appropriately named "Rift Power". The Trapsmith stationed within the Gnawnian Rift has already drafted a design for a trap with a Rift power type, however, the design requires a rare and powerful crystal element only found within the Rift itself. Should you come across one of these rare Rift Crystals, be sure to visit the Trapsmith and purchase your first Rift trap!<br/><br/>
+
</blockquote> -->
Until you acquire a Rift power type trap, you'll have to arm your most powerful trap and hope it does the trick! Take heed: Current traps are largely ineffective against Rift mice, but they are the only trap that might stand a chance against these mice. Prepare for a challenge of the utmost grit!<br/><br/>

Fire your final hailstones and send out your final golems!
  
Early attempts at attracting a mouse within the Rift proved entirely unsuccesful with any current known types of bait. Not long after, however, some peculiar rubbery cheese curds were discovered, capable of producing a highly stringable snack known as String Cheese! The shopkeeper at the Cheese Shoppe has produced a variety of these String Cheeses including Marble, Swiss, and Brie.<br/><br/>
+
<blockquote>
A particularly powerful discovery came when combining the power of Magic and Aleth Essences with the curd to create Magical String Cheese! This magical variation is nearly irresistible to many mice within the Rift, boasting a powerful attraction rate!<br/><br/>

After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
  
In an effort to defend the Kingdom from the dangerous mice within the Rift, the King has sanctioned the use of the Kingdom's own supply of essences to assemble various packages and kits containing Magical String Cheese!<br/><br/>

Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.

The generator supplying the Dance Hall with power has begun to spark and surge, sending copious quantities of an unknown energy down the powerlines and into the party.

Shortly after the reports of strange energy being produced by the Dance Hall generator, several hunters reported coming across Exploded Lightshows as loot from mice at the Dance Hall. It's likely the explosions are due to the random power surges coming from the Dance Hall's generator. Adding to suspicions is that the exploded lights all seem to be quickly scooped up by mice, leading the King to suspect that the mice are trying to hide something.
 
  
Upon finding one of these Exploded Lightshows, be sure to closely examine the item for clues regarding what may be going on.
