Velvet Shade is Where Winds Meet’s secret haven for charm-build enjoyers, where romance, style, and social play are baked into the core fantasy rather than tacked on. This guide breaks down how its open‑hearted rules, Vernal Umbrella moveset, and relationship-focused commands all work together so you can decide if this is the sect you want to commit your time—and hearts—to.

Check out the How to Join the Velvet Shade Sect guide for a step-by-step walkthrough on becoming a member.

Velvet Shade Sect Rules

Full Bloom

Velvet Shade follows a code of open affection and shared romance, summed up by the rule “Full Bloom.” Members are expected to reveal their charm to the world, pursue their heart’s desires freely, and trade affection for hearts, building up Flower Points as they drift from one blooming connection to the next.

Drunk on Flowers

“Drunk on Flowers” is the second Velvet Shade rule that explains the sect’s approach to romance and commitment. It basically means members are encouraged to fall for many people at once, drifting between “a thousand flowers,” rather than settling for a single exclusive partner.
