Dragonsfall Weyr

Important Dates

Latest News

This month has been interesting. There have been a lot of growth in terms of relationships, weyrlings and dragons.

Talryne is given a glimpse of N'vanik's past when he reveals to her that he was a bandit before Impressing his bronze. He takes her to the cave where his stuff is hidden. She assures him that she doesn't care what he was before Impression, that everyone makes mistakes. N'vanik goes back later to put the box away and tries to convince himself to get rid of the box, but can't.

E'naer consults with Aryn about Viyanth's injured wing. He suggests that she volunteer with the dragonhealers to learn more about treating injuries when she expresses a desire to know more than what they learned in weyrling classes. Their discussion gets Aryn interested in switching crafts and they talk about how to do so.

Birigundi goes to see Rigella as she leaves for the healer hall to get more help than the Weyr can provide. She never recovered from the birth of their son.

Kapera is comforted by J'nus after the hatching. Kapera also checks up on U'kaiah and they discuss his love life as well as the level of his morale.

Amber Hills Hold

Important Dates

Latest News

Amber Hills is in the throws of winter, but it seems that has not deterred some of its residents!

We are lucky enough to welcome Alasha to Amber Hills Hold this month, though who knows exactly how long she'll stay if her mother and birth father have their way! A'berso and his son A'son came to the cothold to visit Alasha and her mother, Murasha. They brought with them a flit egg for Alasha, which hatched into a beautiful bronze that she named Zephyr. Though her step-father, Desamin, and siblings do not appreciate the fact that she was given such a rare gift, Alasha loves her father's gift dearly. Murasha would feel much better if her daughter would go to the Weyr and join her birth father there, but the young woman refuses, not wanting to leave her mother behind. Desamin seems to have plans for her, though. He has invited Ranillis and his son Bortalis to visit Amber Hills. Could it be he intends to marry her off?

Snow still covers the ground, but surely that does not mean all our residents have to go into hiding! Why not go out of doors and enjoy it! Or why not make some new friends while you're hiding from winter's chill? You know you want to!

Vintner Hall

Important Dates

Latest News

The grapes are in hibernation at the Hall, but it won't be long before new shoots will be seen emerging fromt he vines, and all is set for the new season, here at the Vintner Hall.

The folk haven't been lax over the colder months either. It was good to see the fire rekindled between Hartam and Tayette - they were married very quietly and are looking forward to their future together with the new arrival that's on its way. (Stay tuned as more revelations are unearthed.)

The Hallmaster has been busy over the colder season, too. An emergency flight to the East early one morning, left us in the capable hands of the Hallsecond for a few days while the Hallmaster welcomed a new life to his family.

It was long before some of the Hallmasters offspring joined the fold here at the Hall with the arrival of his two sons. Mischief in the making, with those pair. Though from all reports Daigoro is keeping them busy.

It seems the Tavern at Amber Hills doesn't have the comfort or welcome we here at the Vintner Hall produce, why else would Journeyman Larstad come here to vent his spleen? A little friendly rivalry doesn't hurt - does it?

What is the little Tavern worker hiding? A little avian happened to be listening to a conversation between Misara and the technician Rikka, and the Tavern worker appeared to be letting something slip. She appeared from nowhere and no one knows anything about her, so just what is her story?

The Hallmaster is making a name for himself with the ladies, or so it seems. Is he missing his wife a little too much?

* * *

There may be no grapes on the vines at the Vintner Hall at present, but it doesn't mean the vats are dry, so why not come and visit the folk at the Hall and the Tavern. Great entertainment can be had for the price of a glass of ale!

Come one - Come All! Come and have a taste test of the new concoctions the Vintner Hall staff are creating! More kick than your average wine.

Dolphin Cove Weyr

Important Dates

Latest News

HURRICANE!!

(note that the first half is about the Hurricane.. scroll down for more juicy gossip than just the hurricane information!

In month 3, Dolphin Cove Weyr is hit head on by what Terrans would call a Category 4 hurricane. The storm surge was tremendous, getting close to 15 feet, and flooded the entire lower caverns.

Several lives were lost despite the Weyrleader grounding the Wings, including three young Weyrlings that were panicked by the storm and could not visualize properly.

The worst tragedy came when the flooding dared the Hatching Grounds, where two days before, gold Nyith had just lad a proud 42 eggs. If the eggs were not moved, they would all be lost.

In a daring rescue attempt, with the cooperation of Dragonsfall Weyr and their Weyrleaders, J'darin organized every bronzerider in the Weyr to move the eggs /between/ to Dragonsfall's Hatching Grounds.

Traelyn had her hands full keeping Nyith from tearing the Weyr apart in her frenzied desire to protect her eggs, and it took a great deal of exerting power to get Nyith to agree to letting the bronzes touch her eggs.

During the rescue of the Eggs, a bronzerider was lost /between/ carrying two eggs and two more eggs were lost, smashed against the wall, leaving only 38 eggs to look at on the Sands. And not Dolphin Cove sands.

Traelyn and Nyith stayed at Dragonsfall for two sevendays, giving the eggs time enough to harden, and they were transported a second time back to Dolphin Cove, where they belong.

While they were gone, J'darin struggled with a Weyr in the middle of tragedy with short supplies on food, and even fresh water. Hunting and gathering parties helped, in addition to a generous bump in the tithe from Emerald Falls Hold. The Weyrleader leader also fought his own internal battle, and deciding with great reluctance but Hasaarth's full support, to lower the age limit to 15 turns to fight in the Wings.

Traelyn, while settled in Dragonsfall and unable to leave Nyith, had time to fully develop and understand her feelings for Wingleader U'kaiah, of Dragonsfall. The two of them carried on their own inner battle, and finally came to an understanding. The both wanted more from each other and would try to make a long distance relationship between two Weyrs work. After all, they had dragons..

This made it hard for Trae to return to Dolphin Cove, but on the eighth day of month 4, all the eggs were returned, along with the Weyrwoman. And 8 days later, there was a joyous event - a Hatching!!! Four sad eggs remained on the Sands, uncracked and unhatched, but 34 new weyrlings walked away from that wonderful event, all smiles. J'darin and Traelyn put on a brave face for the families of the newly Impressed, yet internally, this worried them even more. How were they going to fight Thread now?

Criticism and worry came from every side, while J'darin just tried to keep his Weyr together. They've patched things back together, piece by piece. They've had a Hatching with several new Weyrling pairs, but the scars and the wounds from the Hurricane will last many turns to come.

The Storm saw many folk of Dolphin Cove banding together to fight the water. It also saw many couples seeking solace in one another like D'cal and Dyaera, and even brownrider M'tone was visited by Larken, the Harper's wife, during the worst of the storm. Eleada lost her young son, but he was returned with the help of R'mer and B'ram, and now B'ram and Eleada seem to be moving toward something a little ... more than casual.

Greenrider Cherlyn also found out she was carrying not one but two babies - twins - and would need special medical care for the duration of her pregnancy. And worse yet, she couldn't fly Thread.

Due to the lack of recent Hatchings at Dragonsfall, Dragonsfall sent a few of their older Candidates to Dolphin Cove to Stand for the Hatching. There was a bit of mixing, combined with quite a bit of grumbling, between the two groups of Candidates, but Kiala and Harila managed to make friends.

Dysali and D'ren have a long talk when J'darin asks the young greenrider to fly in his Wing. D'ren is not happy about his love flying Thread at 15 turns, and that, combined with the sadness of the Weyr down in strength and struggling with good, seems to bother both the bronzerider and Dysali.

At the first Threadfall including 15 turn olds, some of the younglings get Scored, but none die. Dysali earns herself a matching scar on her right arm to go with her left, and Lillyth collects another Threadscore scar, leaving the young green and her rider looking almost as if they'd been flying Thread for months instead of 1 day.

Greenriders P'yke and G'lag find a 'best kept secret' place to strengthen their friendship with each other, discuss what being a greenrider really means, and relax from all the extra duties the hurricane caused.

Headwoman Ylisahn begins to understand something is wrong that causes her to continually wake up, and also some other issues. She worries about it alone.

I'lan has his canine, Bubbly, neutered. So no more Bubbly pups.

The Weyrs seems to have returned to normal with the advent of the Hatching. But will Dolphin Cove ever BE normal with a wherry's arse for a Weyrleader, 15 turn olds flying Thread, a Weyrwoman involved with the Wingleader of another Weyr, a new Headwoman dealing with food shortages and water shortages, and Thread still falling 4 or 5 times a month?

Make a character today and find out what _normal_ really means!!!

Harper Hall

Important Dates

Latest News

Life goes on as usual in the Harper Hall. People seem to pretty much be
going around their usual business.

Usual business for Journeyman Ojisan's wife, Larken, includes continuing
her affair with the handsome young brownrider, M'tone. While her
husband if off at practice, they have a clandestine meeting. M'tone
laments the fact that they cannot be seen publicly together, and asked
Larken to convince her husband to give her a restday so they can spend
it together in a place where no one would know them, or her husband.
Larken is keen on that idea, and suggests convincing Ojisan to visit his
son for a few days... Will Ojisan fall for it? Or are they destined to
stay hidden forever in the brownrider's weyr?

Larken is not the only Hall resident mixing with the dragonriders.
Master Shaelis runs into Wingleader K'hetah in the corridors of the
Hall. He assures her he is not lost, but merely nosy. She offers to
give the bronzerider a private tour of the Hall, much to his delight.

Almonteo had a rather interesting meeting with Master Eilomar. The two
discussed life in the Weyr versus life at Emerald Falls. It seems
Almonteo might have a chance to meet with the new Emerald Falls Lord
Holder. Could there be a reconciliation in the works? It seems the
Hallmaster is suddenly very interesting in the outspoken Master's
opinions on the subject...

Master Thanja is keeping busy as usual. She had to have a difficult
discussion with one of her young apprentices whose dream of being a
type-setter seem to have been shattered. It appears he has developed a
rather nasty allergy to the inks used. She offers advice for different
options he might consider. The Printer Master also finds out that one
of the journeymen had been lax in their duties! Some young apprentices
used one of the machines without supervision and have seemed to have
broken something. Quistador is trying to fix it, but Thanja wants to
know who is responsible.

Month 10 is now open... We're coming up on the time to start talking
about Turn End celebrations! There will be plenty of things for the
Harpers to do in the coming months. Why not PC a Harper and join in on
the fun?

Dolphin Hall

Latest News

With Cali still LOA I thought it wouldn't hurt to update this.

The Hall has seen quite a bit of action recently, the least of which being the Hurricane that hit the Hall and Weyr m3 d19. The devastation realized was a hard blow for the Southern Hall. After being awakened for a rather early morning Hallmaster Mosler and his Second Kouna prepare to batten down the hatches. As Mosler warns the Weyr Kouna prepares the Hall for the storm, which she later reports to Mosler on his return.

Not long after that Kouna receives a flashback from the time she lost her first partner Kibb in a storm amazingly similar to this one. Luckily her gold firelizard was able to get the Hallmaster to bring her in and break her out of the painful memory.

Swift has a chat with Trellyn during the storm about his firelizards reactions, and Kateena finds the cloth remains of a little child who is lost to the storm.

After the ravages of the Storm the Hall begins to pick up the pieces. Even after all this romance still buds in the Hall. Swift asks Journeywoman Kateena to marry him, and she concedes, even though both of them don't want to rush anything.

The Hall gets a new Master of Apprentices, Mahantan, who seems to be taking a very firm grip on out apprentices.

Swifts granddaughter, Journeywoman Yara, transfers in from the North, and makes sure her grandfather is well informed through out the entire ordeal. And once she gets there makes fast friends with dragonriders and dolphineers.

So as you can see a lot is happening at the Hall. But there are still plenty of opportunities in the Hall. So make a persona today!

Emerald Falls Hold's report for april 2008

The hold is preparing for the Runner races. Aivorn found a jockey for the races when he watched how young journeyman Dawtrey handled his favourite runner, Emerald Champion. Both the master and the journeyman consider Champions chances to win the race very good one. So you know where to bet your marks!

Dawtrey also met riverboat Sungazer's captain Lineal and his wife golden firelizard Sunbow. The beastcrafter and the riverboat's captain got along well, and Dawtrey was facinated by the little queen.

Lineal also gave journeyman Weaver Panyin a tour on the Sungazer when he went to pick up a delivery from the captain.

The riverboat also brought Lord Holder Corowal's long expected visitors, his half brother Reatuir and his wife Naydelsa. The brother's have a lot of catching up to do, and does Corowal seem to be quite close with his sister-in-law?

Headwoman Vanea has troubles with her daughter Neata, she is unhappy with her current life and wants to go to the harper hall. Vanea's demented mother springs a surprise to them, when she tells that her mother used to be a harper.

River Bluff Weyr

Important Dates

Latest News

It seems that this has been an interesting time for River Bluff. Not only has Tabarnith clutched, with K'reyel and Tsaera watching, it seems that the events leading to that clutching hastened the arrival of the Weyrleader's baby son. The surprise of K'reyel's win brought labour on, almost a month early.

Meanwhile M'van and Kitali are perhaps getting on a little better now, they both took the boys for a picnic by the weyr lake.

The weyrlings have begun Elevator duty, Uetia found herself being lectured on the process by M'galec, something she was none to fond of. And Tey found time to catch up with B'lamick as well.

Garnet Valley Hold

Important Dates

Latest News

Life at Garnet Valley Hold is as interesting as always! Ryalane and Penryn have finally had their wedding. Normally, a wedding is a cause for great celebration, but this one was more subdued and somber, owing to the circumstances behind it. It hasn't made everyone happy, either- Thalia, in particular, seems sobered by the wedding, as was seen when she spoke to Penryn the night before. Even the couple isn't taken over with joy.

Plans for another wedding are still afoot! Miralani and Daynar's wedding looms ever nearer. But Hallmaster Daynar still dosn't seem to know what he's in for with Ishek's lovely sister. Also, there seems to be some guests in high places coming to the wedding. This should certainly liven up the Hold.

Fieyaz and Alrog, who hit it off quite spectacularly at Turn's End, are awaiting their next chance to see each other. In the mean time, however, they are content to correspond by means of flit mail.

Holder Kiomo speaks with Gleniel before he heads off to face his accusers. Peringel still believes that Kiomo got Perina pregnant. Is this the case? Will Kiomo have to marry Perina, or will his name be cleared? There is uncertainty about the future of Ishek's promising assistant.

The former Lady got herself in a spot of trouble when her runnier Nipper lames on the road. Fortunately, considering that there are still bandits and felines about the Hold, she was soon rescued by Steward Penryn. Things are certainly different between them now that Penryn is married. They discuss children and the future, but are both sobered by the realization that he is no longer at her service anymore.

Life is never boring here at Garnet Valley Hold! There are still felines, bandits, and upcoming weddings. Now is your chance to get in on the action and participate in the making of Hold History.

Its finally happened!

Daynar and Miralani get married! THe formerly rude and mean Hallmaster has been seen smiling and even ignoring transgressions of those around him as he adjusts to married life.

Sadly, the man has _no_ idea who (or what) he truly married into, and we're not sure he'd understand if you told him.

Fieayz tries to find a home for all of her gold flit's eggs, trading a ride home to see her family for one of them, and talking one of the apprentice Smiths, Matril, into making her a gift for her mother for another egg.

Daynar might have cared..alot.. if he wasn't distracted by his wife!

STay tuned to see how badly Miralani can twist Daynar around! It should be good for a laugh if nothing else.
