Latest News
Dragonsfall has been very active this month! Many of it's residents got out to meet new people, have a little fun, and get involved with a little drama.
Poor E'naer is still having to deal with moody, short-tempered J'nev. The greenrider was trying to encourage the bronzeweyrling, but it blew up in his face when J'nev took it as a sign of mistrust. E'naer lost his cool and reacted in a most unprofessional manner, though few, I'm sure, could blame him! Weyrleader T'mahl certainly seems to be on the greenrider's side. E'naer told him about his troubles over lunch while they discussed possible wing placements for the weyrlings. They will be graduating soon! Who's wings will they be put into I wonder...
Imarre also seems to be having a tough time, though the month started out well enough for him. He met M'yex while he was washing his green Enyth. The greenrider assured Imarre that having a lifemate was well worth all the hard work. Imarre must be wondering if having a human lover is equally worthwhile after the trouble he seems to be having with Maret. Though Maret is quite comfortable in their relationship, it seems Imarre is still not quite ready to accept the openness of the Weyr. Maret seems to be getting pretty tired of Imarre's constant negativity, while Imarre wouldn't mind a bit more understanding. Are they headed for trouble? Or will they make things work?
Telemon also had an uncomfortable encounter with an openly flirty visitor from River Bluff. Greenrider R'sedel brought an old lady to Dragonsfall for the day and found distraction in Telemon's beautiful eyes while he waited for her. The Weyrhealer wasn't sure how to take the attention at first, but R'sedel finally won him over, as he seems to always do, by assuring him that while he may flirt, he would never push himself on anyone. He just wanted to get to know the man better. Could the Weyrhealer be more open to making new friends now?
The Headwoman had quite a nice birthday with her family. It seems they all descended on the Tatitem, children and grandchildren alike, to wish her a happy birthday and make the evening a special one for her. They decided to go see the dress rehearsal for a play one of the harpers was putting on.
Tatitem later found foster mother Irlani and asked her to do a favor for her. One of her workers was in need of a foster mother for an evening, and Irlani was more than happy to take him, despite all of Tatitem's warnings that he could be a handful. It seems Irlani takes a lot of joy in her work.
Irlani also had a chance to catch up with Aileyan when she returned Ravyan to her for an evening. The greenrider was concerned that her mood had been effecting her son. The foster mother listened to her troubles patiently and sympathetically. It seems Aileyan is a little heart broken over Ednan.
Aileyan looked for comfort in an unlikely place. Well, perhaps not so unlikely. She chose to approach Wingleader U'kaiah for a little distraction from her problems. The bronzerider, as always, was more than happy to oblige her, though he made sure she understood that it would be only for the night. Aileyan assured him she wanted nothing more. She is not accustomed to finding bed partners casually. Will this make their working relationship more difficult from now on?
It seems the greenrider isn't the only one looking for a little attention from U'kaiah. Weyrling Kamalia worked up the courage to finally ask him to help her gain some experience before her green rises. To U'kaiah it's just helping out a friend, but in Kamalia's imagination it seems to be a bit more. His invitation to have dinner and get to know each other better has turned into a romantic evening in her mind. How will the evening go?
There's plenty of drama and lots of interesting people at Dragonsfall, so why not jump in today!

"Ach, me back." The auntie shifts a bit in an attempt to get more comfortable. "winter does not do me joints any good, ya know." She perks up though and a gap toothed grin makes more wrinkles upon her face. "Ha! Come to me fer news, do ya? Unfortunately there's not much t'tell. Amber Hills has been fairly quiet, though everyone is starting to look forward to the Gather. Oh the Gather? Tis on the twenty first of the month, dontcha know? Aye, ye should come. I'll be stayin' right by the fire, but were I younger, I'd be out in the snow havin' a grand ol' time."
She rocks back in her chair and lets her eyes close halfway. "Other than that, Corowal, Lord of Emerald Falls and his Lady came to visit. Aye, and Lord Zathris and Lady Benani greeted them quite nicely. I saw the way Lady Felyna looked at them, though. I could almost hear her thoughts. Her marriage t'Corowal was not one of love, but Zathris' and Benani's was. Perhaps she wants somethin' akin to what they have?"
"I know the Lady and Lord of Amber Hills love each other dearly - at least, it seems so. Rumour has it they're tryin' for a baby, have been almost since they were married." The thought makes a chuckle rasp from between the old auntie's lips. "Lady Benani especially seems quite keen on it, though Lord Zathris, somethin' tells me he's not quite so eager, though I'm sure he's eager enough in the tryin'!" The chuckle turns into a cackle and the old woman slaps her knees. "That's all I got fer ya', but I'm sure that there will be more happen' soon, so you just come to old auntie next time, eh?"

The Vintner Hall has been busy this month! We are all happy to see the Hallmaster is feeling better, though he is taking things slowly, as well he should!
Teene dropped by the Hallmaster's office to remind him that he was supposed to not work so hard after his illness. His wife had her hands quite full taking care of him while he was sick. Perhaps he will have to do something special for her to thank her for all her kind attention.
Speaking of kind attention, Causton also had a very nice breakfast with Journeywoman Rikka, who has moved from the Hold to the Hall! Though she is still somewhat of an oddity being a female crafter, it seems people have been treating her kindly, which pleases Master Causton, espcially since so many women in his family have been crafters!
Rikka also received a warm welcome from the Tavern Master, Zandreu. She helped check on his refridgeration unit. It seems he remembers a time when female crafters were common place. He tells Rikka to inform him any time should one of his staff mistreat her, though he knows she will have to fight her own battles for acceptance.
Another Hall resident struggling with acceptence is Key. He has a chat with Master Daigoro, who believes the young man should think about settling down and getting married if he so choses. Key wants to, but feels no woman would want him because of his deformity. The Hallsecond suggests Key look in the outlying areas for a bride and has offered to do a little searching for him, though Key doesn't expect it will come to much.
The Hallseconds own marriage seems to still have it's troubles. Cinale is still struggling to overcome her miscarriage. When Daigoro's good friend brings his wife and young baby over to their cot, she feels jealous and mourns the loss of her own child all over again. That night she is confused by her husband's advances. She is not ready, but believes a good wife should not say no. In the end she does push him away, angry that he couldn't understand her feelings. She quickly regrets her anger, believing everything that happened was her fault. Can she find a way to move past this?
Why don't you come and join the Vintner Hall and get in on all the action!

Qorri delivers a basket of treats to N'vanik on his birthingday. The Weyrleader had forgotten his own birthingday, but Qorri was kind enough to remember.
Two riders get in a fight and N'vanik has to sort out what happened. For once N'vanik is the one giving out punishment instead of receiving it.
Dolphin Cove has been rather quiet, but there's a Hatching coming up soon. Why not create a few Candidates and join in the fun?

The Harper Hall has been a bit busy this last month! It seems that some of the Harpers are still looking for a home, both within the Hall and in a new one!
Eilomar brought a young girl to talk to Hallsecond, Thanja. It seemed some boys had been harassing her, telling her to go home and making rather disturbing threats against her. Thankfully the choir master turned unlikely hero and rescued the girl, and even defended her to the Hallsecond. Could it be the crotchety Choir Master is losing some of his prejudice against female crafters? After all, as he realized, if he lost the female crafters now, he'd loose so many talented voices! Almonteo heard about the matter when Eilomar brought him his reports and recommendations for advancing apprentices. He encouraged Eilomar to heap praise on the girl to help boost her confidence. We'll see how he manages with that little assignment!
Hallmaster Almonteo also had a another visit with Lord Corowal. This time they met with a Mason who is making a design for the new Hall. It seems a friendly rivalry is growing between the Lord and Hallmaster to see who's building can out-shine who's! Almonteo is definitely getting excited by the prospect of a new home for his harpers.
There will be plenty of opportunities for storylines, especially now that the harpers will be moving back to backward minded Emerald Falls! Will they bring their new Weyr ways with them? Or will they keep mostly to themselves and ease into a life of peace and normalcy. I guess it's up to you to decide!

Early on month 6 apprentice Westni finds a curiously round rock on the beach and wonders whether it was man-made or natural. But she doesn't keep it for long as she and Seriand are running late, then Swift finds it, and the Hallmaster when he abandons it, and then another apprentice passes it on to the Headwoman, Ylisahn.
Ylisahn is pleased to see greenrider Zelle up and walking, impressed that the younger woman has got as far as the Dolphin Hall, and she gives her the round rock to take back to the Weyr. K'hetah visits the sleeping Zelle and ponders the origins of the stone much as all the other have.
On the restday at the end of the first sevenday of the month, the greenrider who caused all the trouble between Trellyn and Ednan comes to the Hall to find him. Although she asks around she can't find anybody who knows where he is, until she meets up with the person she least wants to - Journeywoman Trellyn herself.
Toward the end of the third sevenday Leisenn gets a letter from former Hallmaster Mosler who, it seems, has broken his leg and is having to stay at a tavern until it heals. He insists that the beer is not very good, but Leisenn, as well as being concerned for his safety, is not entirely inclined to believe him.

The people of Emerald Falls Hold are obviously taking a break and a deep breath, for there's been quiet in the hold. Only thing happening is that while Felyna is away again, Corowal tried with his luck with Erassa again. With no results...actualy the two came very close to arguing. Erassa wants something that Corowal can't give her.
This can lead to more interesting human relationship-drama, so stay tuned!

This has been an interesting month - it seems the main thing is that greenrider Uetia seems to be growing closer to Sabonus, is there perhaps a little something developing there after the two of them spent time together in the snow? Apart from the nasty cold she's developed that is ;)
Meanwhile K'reyel has had to discipline two errant wingriders - he compared their behaviour to brawling weyrbrats...
Although some brats do seem to grow up and show some responsibility, K'sedel was pleasantly suprised by a young bluerider weyrlingstaff assistant and his sense of duty.
U'das has been spotted flirting with a young greenrider. But nobody is quite sure if the flirtation is mutual.
But the weyrlings, Im're got in trouble oiling his young blue leading to him having a minor injury, but as for Elleanna - stunts during flight training do not go down well with M'galec, she's being held back to start training again when the next class of weyrlings

The Smithhall has been extremely quiet this last month. Hopefully that means folks are just thinking up great projects!
Daynar is still searching for a husband for Otrina. So far, he has had no more choices come to the front. He is considering looking farther afield than he has to find his daughter a "suitable" husband.
Oresthon, the newest apprentice is still having trouble adjusting. He really does not want to be a Smith.
Daynar is watching the aftermath of Alrog and Fieayz's wedding with interest....
I need bullies and apprentices! And a husband hopeful for Otrina! Who wants to play? I also need a Master of Apprentices for an upcoming story... SHHH!!!
