9.9 C to 18.4 C | 13.7 C to 24.5 C
Ista is heating up swiftly, and preparing for a rough summer - hopefully nothing like the one from a couple turns before with the wildfires! The rest of Northern Pern is warming upsomewhat slower, but with no less gusto as summer begins to creep into the sky, keeping the sun awake longer, warming the ledges of the weyrs. Rainstorms are sporadic, but keep the world well watered, despite the heat of the days.
The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.
Winter -3 - 2 C | 26 - 35 F
Fort is already home to snowfalls, though early in the month they fade away when the sun rises. As the month progresses, more snow stays on the ground, ending up with several feet of snow before the month is over. The areas around homes and populations has the snow shoveled away or trodden down. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove some danger and are routinely removed.
Ista Boundaries:
Winter, 9 - 21 C | 48 - 69 F
Generally warm enough to go about without a jacket on, Ista has low humidity but high chance of rain, generally in the form of vicious afternoon thunderstorms. The storms wash away any bite of heat the day had, and leave it feeling fresh for the night. The days are short, but grow bright quickly and the afternoons seem to be particularly short when heavy thunderstorms roll in and cover the sky.
Telgar Boundaries:
Winter, -5 - 0 C | 23 - 32 F
Bitterly cold, with icy winds constantly flowing down from the mountains. Freezing rain is almost constant; the sky always a murky grey and the ground slippery with slushy refrozen ice. The days are extremely short, with the nights dropping a good number below the daily average. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove a major danger, and are checked upon every day, with anything bigger than a fist being removed.
Summer 27 - 38 C | 80 - 100 F
Light breezes down from the mountains tot he North keep the temperature comfortable, even when the sun can bake an egg on the edge of a weyr. Sunburn is common.
Ista Boundaries:
Summer, 34 - 43 C | 93 - 110 F
A very dry, dusty heat. Little to no rain, causing more than some to worry about the drought not breaking and the rest of the Isle being at risk of fires. Many seek the depths of weyr, hold or hall during the midday and early afternoon heat.
Telgar Boundaries:
Summer, 26 - 35 C | 79 - 95 F
Muggy, sticky and generally just plain humid. Thunder storms are regular occurances, often happening in the early afternoon or evening, with heavy rainfall before drying off sometime in the night. Mornings are usually crisp, but warm up swiftly.
Ista Boundaries: Season, Low to High
Telgar Boundaries: Season, Low to High

North: Early Spring | South: Early Autumn
−1.9 C to 4.7 C | 20.0 C to 29.0
Spring has sprung, with the snow slowly melting in much of the North, creating mushy grounds and greyish, icy snow piles that are doing their best to melt. In comparison, Ista finds itself naturally warmer, (~10C / 50) and many people who can find rides are making their way to the Island to spend some time in warmth and sunshine, away from the lingering touch of winter.
Katila is beginning to cool down to more reasonable temperature, but is no less muggy and uncomfortable to those who are not used to the seasons. It is still a good place to escape to when seeking a warm day or a nice swim at the lake, though.
The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.

Winter has come slowly to the Northern lands of Pern, with more rain and cold winds than snow. As the month progresses, more and more snow will fall, with frequent blizzard-like storms towards the very end of the month. Telgar and Fort will in particular become burried under mountains of snow, while Ista is sunjected to frequent icy rainstorms, and heavy winds coming in from across the ocean.

Following the disastrous fires (sometime in around the 28th of Month 08), Ista Isle has found itself suddenly in the midst of constant rain; not enough to flood, but a steady, dreary downfall that seems to only take a time out for a couple of hours here and there, before coming back again. Its cast the entire sooty Isle into a sombre and depressed mood. Alongside the rain, the weather is muggy and while not hot, is not particularly cool, either.
The rest of Northern Pern is getting their usual weather, though they, too, have been called to action following the wildfires that savaged Ista. Many individuals who called Ista Island home have been relocated not just to Ista Weyr, Ista Hold or Sea Cliff Hold, but also to other areas of Pern, whether with family or friends.

17.4 to 25.5 C | 10.8 C to 23.2 C
Ista is still unseasonably warm - 37 to 45 C - has resulted in an incredibly dry summer, with little to no rain. This was climaxed by a dry thunderstorm, the results of which caused three fires to start across the Island on the 24.07.739 in the early morning hours. While the results of this are yet to be played out, the events will no doubt leave more than just the scarring of the land.

18.0 to 26.6 C | 10.2 C to 21.9 C
Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 37 to 45 C range, making it now a more than slightly undesirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the more enjoyable early summer weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Ista's limited farmlands and fields are dry and dusty, with golden straw instead of grass where there is any growth at all.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are still getting a lot of evening rain and the occasional thunderstorms, which cools down the populus and allows them to sleep easily without sweating their brains out like the Istans.

There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are getting a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and cloudy days. Grass is growing, flowers flowering, and baby animals popping up all over the place! Yay spring!

North: Late Autumn | South: Late Spring
Autumn is coming to an end, with the days slowly becoming shorter still, with early nights and late mornings. The temperature is getting very cool, with jackets being more required, but it has yet to actually snow. Despite this, it is often raining and miserable.
The Southern contient is in full bloom, with flowers coming to life in the grasses and on the trees. The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora.
North: Mid Autumn | South: Mid Spring
Autumn is in full tilt, with the leaves a shocking array of orange and red, and more of them on the ground than on the trees. The skies are often a clear and crisp blue, with a cool breeze flowing, shifting the leaves and sending them scattering. Rain is not common, but when it does roll in the skies are dark like night come early, and thunderstorms are not uncommon, though they don't last for long and the amount of rain that falls isn't too heavy.

North: Start Autumn | South: Start Spring
Nothern regions are entering into Autumn, with the trees beginning to change to their reds and oranges, while the air is beginning to feel more crips. There are still more warm days than cool, and the nights are mostly warm enough for light bedding still. Rain has faded away and most days are clear and bright.
The Southern contient finds itself heading into spring, with rain and flowers vying for attention. The ground is often muddy and squishy, while the skies are either bright and blue, or overcast wtih fluffy clouds.
North: End Summer | South: End Winter
Summer is winding to an end in the Northern hemisphere, with the weather slowly cooling and the trees beginning to turn their leaves. The days are still long and bright, but the sun is beginning to lose some of its strength.
The coastal Weyrs are falling victim to coastal storms, strong winds and heavy rains with thunder and lightening.
The more inbound Weyrs and Holds find themselves drier, not getting nearly as much rain or storms, they find themselves on the end of a long drought.
North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter
Summer is in full spring in the Nothern hemisphere, with the bulk of each day being unbearbly hot, followed by vicious thunderstorms and heavy humidity in the evenings and at night.
The coastal areas are experiencing monsoon like weather, and spend a lot of their time locked away in Hold, Hall or Weyr.
The more inner locations find themselves faced with more dry heat during the day, and horrible humidity in the evening and at night while the thunderstorms rage.

This month’s riveting event is ‘Seas of Fun’, in honour of International Pirate’s Day! After all the drama with the fires, we expect that taking to the sea (or lake, river, pond, etc) would be a very relaxing way to spend some downtime for many dragonriders and Holderfolk alike!
In preparation for October, the even is “Memories of the Past”, which we hope will be a fun way to explore your character’s past, either in solo posts or threads, as inner monolog or as back posting! How you choose to partake is entirely up to you!

As a result, we will be looking for Wingleaders, Wingseconds, and of course Candidates for the clutches we have scheduled for this year!
Okay. So moving on! This month sees us (hopefully) wrapping up the Camp Kink event! Who doesn’t love an abundance of young adults exploring their sexuality without restraint?

With the end of December, our Christmas layout has gone back into hiding! You'll be able to use it again at the end of the year, when Christmas again rolls around. You can expect a new layout for the site in the near future.
We will also be awarding the HORRIFYING MOMENTS stamps to those who qualified for them, as well as the WORDS OF THE MONTH for November. We hope you enjoyed these Events, and you can expect more of them in the upcoming year!
This month we will also be focusing on the RP Records, and request you submit all your threads here so we can update the Timeline! As it says in the thread, the Timeline will be updated every month, in the first week. To help us maintain, be sure to submit your threads as soon as you open them!
This month we are doing a 'Words of the Month' event! You can choose your word/s as indicated in the thread, and may particpate with as many characters as you desire! This contest has no voting to earn stamps; you get a stamp just for participating! Enjoy!
Our next PC Clutch will be in the new year, so now is the pefect time to join with old candidates (how many clutches have they stood for now?!) and candidate hopefuls! Get those eager young men and women out there and grow them so we can match them with their perfect lifemate when the new year rolls around and one of our lovely golds throws a clutch on the Sands -- At this point in time, the Weyrs are sharing Candidates, so your Candidate can be Searched by any Weyr, and transfer to the one holding the PC clutch!
History is almost complete, and the profile has been re-coded. All new characters will need to go onto the new profile, but all old can keep their current! We'll begin advertising properly over the next couple of weeks, once the history has been completed, and probably after the weekend of the 8th and 9th, because that is when ThistleProse is having her birthday.
We officially have two layouts! You can post here with any issues you find, or request any changes!
If you find any bugs or issues, plese repot them here, and we will do our best to fix them in a timely manner.

General Description:
Smouldering hazel eyes are deep set and often leave him appearing to be squinting.
Dark brown with soft highlights fall around his face in a wild array of curls. It’s a tossup whether he’ll wear it loose or pulled back in a cute little tail.
While still slightly below average in terms of height, Narinoa is still one of the tallest in his immediate family. He’s told he gets his height from his grandfather on his father’s side and appreciates the man he’s never met for blessing him with those genes. His physical appearance is rather proportioned for his height and thanks to years of physical labour on the farm, his muscles are defined and not much in the way of body fat can be found.General Dressing Style:
Narinoa prefers comfort and practicality over style. He wears clothes that he doesn’t care if they end up stained or torn. Typically he’s seen in comfortable pants with plenty of pockets and an unbuttoned shirt that’s either left hanging open or is stuffed into a back pocket when it is too hot for even that flimsy piece of material to be worn.

Personality
Likes:
Animals: Horses, cats, firelizards, dragons… Narinoa has room in his heart for them all and will often go out of his way to greet one if he sees one wandering by. He currently has a green firelizard named Pip (Pipsqueak) and hopes to get a cat when he has his own weyr.
Sex: Good way to meet people, great exercise, and benefits all those involved. What’s not to like about it?
Swimming: In his spare time, weather permitting, Narinoa will be found at a lake or the ocean or even a pond if that’s the closest body of water. Swimming is relaxing but also healthy and helps keep him in shape.
Strengths:
Ambitious: Never one to just sit around and wait for things to happen, Narinoa likes to get a jump on things and tries his best at new tasks, sometimes pushing himself to the limit.
Adventurous: What’s the point in staying in a safe routine when there’s so much more out there? Hiking, Cliff diving, even just skinny dipping in public. He’s not afraid to put himself out there and isn’t one to back down from a challenge.
Caring: Admittedly, this extends more to his sisters and animals, but Narinoa has room in his heart for most people and will take a moment to check up on a friend that might be unwell and will offer to lend a hand whenever possible—though as a Candidate that is more to show he’s an asset, making it lean into a flaw of craftiness.
Dislikes:
Pickled Foods: Why would you do that to delicious food?! He gets why, with it preserving some items a bit longer but ew. He’ll eat fresh, thank you very much.
Fire/Lightning: A tended campfire is fine, but massive unchecked fires scare him. The Ista wildfires brought back a lot of buried emotions from when he was a child and lightning set a barn on fire. The panicked animals’ calls for help, the smell… no. He doesn’t like the memories and gets nervous when a fire seems to be bigger than it should be or a strong storm is blowing through.
Z’ia: While he doesn’t hate his brother, he’s not too fond of the way he never came back to see his family, letting them think he was dead. In fact, Narinoa was too afraid to ask about his brother when he was Searched, not knowing if the man lived, Impressed, or where he was since then it would be confronting him. Upon meeting his brother, he’s not quite sure what he thinks.
Flaws:
Arrogant: He knows he’s good at his craft and thanks to some lovers gossiping, he knows he’s great in bed and handsome. It has gone to his head and he will sometimes look down on others that he knows don’t measure up.
Crafty/Sneaky: It doesn’t show itself regularly, and it is hardly done in malice, but sometimes Narinoa will do things to put himself in a better light or just to prove to himself or a friend he’s with that he can. Sure, he could just ask, but sneaking into a room or coming up with a tale to cover their tracks is fun.
Addictive Personality: As is already evident with sex and soon ‘sex-klah’, Narinoa latches onto something he enjoys and can’t really let go. Even tending animals, wild ones he finds injured in the woods included, calls to his need to help. He avoids alcohol as much as he can, knowing it could be his downfall like a man that used to work on the farm, but some things can’t be avoided forever.
Habits & Mannerisms:
When lost in thought, his mouth hangs open slightly, giving him a sultry look thanks to the added effect of the natural set of his eyes.
When he thinks he’s alone, he’ll often hum a popular song that’s stuck in his head.
General Personality:
Despite his dedication to his craft, Narinoa is a fun-loving, easy-going guy. He loves a good joke, loves laughing, and enjoys the company of others. But when it comes time to focus on the task at hand, Narinoa is all about that focusing and doesn’t tolerate goofing around, especially if it could endanger an animal.
Because of being raised around horses and barn cats, Narinoa is used to speaking to them and knowing what they want through their actions, but finds it highly amusing to have dragons actually be able to say what they want. The beastcrafter side of him is utterly fascinated by dragons and how majestic they are and learning more about them was what made him give up his life on the family farm and try something new, though a sense of impulsiveness likely didn’t help either.
While still living at home, Narinoa was a bit of a bed-hopper. He had a few people on staff he hooked up with regularly though nothing that would be considered a serious relationship. Since being Searched and having his first time with another man (R'VI), Narinoa has developed a bit of a reputation for being a bed-warmer. It doesn’t take much to catch his eye and he doesn’t see the harm in sleeping around. After all, that was how everyone from Holds were trained to think about the Weyr lifestyle anyway so he might as well enjoy it now that he’s a part of it. He doesn’t see a one night stand as a bad thing and if someone literally seeks him out just for a tumble in bed without even dinner and a conversation, Narinoa sees it almost as a compliment since people know him and know what he’s good at. Of course having everyone know him for his personality would be nice as well, but he’s fully embraced his enjoyment of sex and doesn’t care if he’s seen as easy or a whore. That being said, he’s not overly fond of being pulled into a broom closet for a quickie and left a mess and sometimes without his own release. Some riders are jerks in his opinion.
Recently (mid 739), Narinoa went camping with a group of people and goldrider Casa gave them what had been dubbed by Misharan some sex-klah. He loved it and how it made him feel. He learned more about it from her and now has his own supply that he dips into a few times a week, taking a half dose or even a bit less, in the evening’s down time. The sex that he enjoys so much is now mind-blowing and he (and his lovers) love how he’s ready to go again and again with little down time needed. As the months progress, he’ll develop an addiction of sorts to it, taking it near nightly, citing the extra sex and his system running so high helps him sleep better at night.
When he’s not being used by someone or assisting in the care of the herd beasts and other livestock, Narinoa is off seeking something fun and thrilling. He’s outgrown the need to be studious at all times and avoid the excitement going on around him and will often partake in hikes, exploring the land nearby and attempting to rock climb or dive off cliffs into the water as a little sense of danger is needed to keep things fresh, especially after so much of his youth was dedicated to learning.

Important History:
715 & Born: Narinoa is considered a happy accident as his parents had not planned to have any more children, especially given their advancing ages.
716-722 & 1-7: Narinoa spends his early years being passed around to family and staff that are available to watch him until he’s old enough to start tagging along and brushing the ponies or cleaning a stall.
723-726 & 8-11: His time is spent alternating between Harper lessons and helping in the barns.
727 & 12: His father dies at the start of the year. The winter was rough on him, bringing about illness that his over-worked body couldn’t fight off. After his 12th birthday, Narinoa officially starts training in the beastcraft, moving away to the Hall as he wants to continue in his dad’s steps.
728-732 & 13-17: Dedicates his time to learning everything he can, but doesn’t do much socialising. He has friends but he’s not as carefree and flippant as the others. He wants to go have fun but knows this will be his livelihood and what supports his family.
733 & 18: Shortly after his 18th birthday, Narinoa is tapped, making him an official Jr. Journeyman. He returns home to help his family, finding comfort once again around the horses and oddly delighting in the physical labour.
735 & 20: Dragons! Narinoa never really believed his sisters that they got to see them up close though he did believe that they had an older brother that was Searched. But dragons are back! They’re real! He’s not entirely sure what to think about them hiding for so long but he hopes to see one up close one day.
736 & 21: His mother dies peacefully in her sleep from what they assume to be old age. She had retired from the farm work years earlier, spending time with his eldest sister Pelandria’s kids.
738 & 23: In month seven, a Search party comes to their farm and J’shom and his green dragon deem Narinoa worthy. Unsure if he wants to give up all he knows, Narinoa hesitates until his interest in dragons and the need he didn’t know he truly had for something new and exciting wins him over. Unfortunately, he doesn’t Impress at his first hatching but the whole process leaves him utterly enchanted by dragons and the lifestyle.
739 & 24: Having fully embraced the Weyr life, Narinoa is gaining an reputation for enjoying parties and being great in bed. With a couple of clutches on the Sands in Ista this year, he has turned his focus back to the dragons, paying attention to the Candidate refresher classes.
740 & 25: Thanks to the match up of Thallyath and Faxxonth, Narinoa was able to put his beastcrafter skills to use alongside the Healers tending to the weyrlings. He has rediscovered his love for tending to animals and has decided he wants to become a dragonhealer and will try to get the Masters to let him study the new findings.

Additional Information:
Growing up on a horse farm had him learning from an early age, though he didn’t officially enter the beastcraft until he turned twelve. He enjoyed assisting where he could and loved the beasts and dedicated his time learning everything he could while at the Hall, though he didn’t much care for the scientific end of things. He continues on in his studies and ends up being tapped soon after his 18th birthday, returning home to help with breeding racers.
