Looks like this article or section is a stub and missing info. You can help out by expanding it.

Background

Within the world of Palia, Shepps are guides and mentors that help new villagers understand the customs and traditions of the new village they wish to become a part of. Once the Shepp feels a new villager is ready to officially become a part of the community, they will speak for them at The Acceptance Ceremony.

Joining a village is a rite of passage in Majiri society. In order to become an official citizen of Kilima Village, certain tasks must be completed. Then, you must choose a Shepp who officially sponsors you joining the community.

Tasks

• Prove Your Devotion
• Prove Your Generosity
• Prove Your Purpose

Shepp Program

Singularity 6, the developers of Palia, introduced a real-world Shepp program. Shepps are passionate Palia ambassadors tasked with mentoring new players in-game and in the community Discord, helping with the official Wiki, organizing community events, and more.

You can recognize a Shepp in the community Discord (or here on the wiki) by their badge. If you're looking for help with the game, see if these players can point you in the right direction!
