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

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.

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!
October will also see our next PC HATCHING! In order to have your Candidate qualify for Impression, they must have no less than 20 posts!

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:
Cazelarias is a delicate flower of a man; he’s built of a small, lithe body with willowy lines and soft edges. His jawline is his strongest feature, and that leaves a lot to be desired. His lips are on the thin side, his nose slim and almost pointed, and his smallish ears are often hidden behind hair that is just long enough to be tied at the nape of his neck, but rarely is.At a diminutive 5’10, Cazelarias is of a perfect height for his sister, and linked together with his overall softness, he is often mistaken for the girl. Delicate hands, with fine fingers and clean nails, Cazelarias is fiercely insistent to wearing gloves when he is forced to work leather; meanwhile, his complete lack of facial hair substance adds to the lack of testosterone fuelled masculinity that is generally expected of a Lord’s son.
A little past shoulder length, thick and silky, Cazelarias' hair is a pale brown that easily and regularly sun-bleaches to a more blonde tone. He has very little in the way of facial hair, and mostly shaves whatever after a couple of days; he has a great dislike for being hairy, and it impedes his sister's masquerading as him.
General Dressing Style:
Cazelarias only partially plays up the part of being a dandy; the rest of it is completely him. He loves delicate and beautiful clothing, cleanliness, and looking fancy. That said, he still values comfort a great deal, so while all his clothing is tailored to suit his latest desires, it is always very important to him that he can wear those clothing all day and not feel at odds with it.Loving colours, Cazelarias’ outfits are bright, eye catching, and elegant. He never looks like a rainbow puked on him, but he never dresses in dull colours, or bland designs unless absolutely required – events such as funerals and weddings have him toning down his attire, so as not to call undue attention upon himself (and, in his father’s scowling words, bring gossip raining down upon the family).

Personality
Likes:
Beauty: Cazelarias has an eye for, and appreciation of, beautiful things. He loves beautiful clothing, beautiful art, beautiful people. Mostly, Cazelarias enjoys being surrounded by beauty.
Cazan: For all that she has the power - and an unnatural ability - to make his life miserable, Cazelarias adores his sister, and is lonely and anxious without her, though he dose his best not to ever let her know that, or anyone else know it, either.
Knowledge: Cazelarias loves to read, to learn, to explore -- but he likes to do those things without leaving the comfort of his home and his comfortable bed. Cazelarias has a deep love for reading, and will pour over anything he can get his hands on, from the educative texts their Harpers bring into classes, to sneaking into Father's office and reading everything from missives to accounting files. Mostly, Cazelarias spends his time in the family library, which is filled with old, and new, texts that his father has collected over the years.

Strengths:
Acting: Cazelarias is an excellent actor. He has had years of practice when it comes to pretending he knows someone, said something, did something, went somewhere, etc. As often as not, Cazelarias has absolutely no idea what is going on, or what caused him to end up in Cazan's latest mess, but he has honed the ability to fall into step to a fine art. He is fantastic at leading questions to get the answers he wants, and bluffing his way through conversations on the fly.
Dislikes:
Hard Work: It isn't that Cazelarias is too good for it, but rather that it makes him feel dirty and icky. He hates being uncomfortable, and hard work tends to make one sweaty and smelly and icky and Cazelarias just doesn't have the stomach for all that. He has a habit of putting on airs of superiority when dirt, hard work is expected of him, as it has served him well through the years and generally gets him out of it, and someone less particular to do it. Second son privliges and all.
Leatherworking: Cazelarias is actually good at his craft, when he takes the time to do it. Unlike Cazan, who honed her skill through hard work, Cazelarias is naturally talented with leatherworking. But its dirty, difficult, and he has hurt his hands on more than one occasion - and Cazelarias hates cuts and blood! But it was what Father wanted, and so Cazelarias did it. At least until Cazan took to it and he was able to hide away for most of the day, buried in the depths of their personal library.
Playboy Reputation: Cazelarias has a reputation, one created by his sister as she poses as him, that has had Cazelarias out on more dates than there are hours in the day, and Cazelarias hates it. Not that he has ever let anyone know that; the playboy reputation keeps those that are looking to settle down away from him, and it seems to give his parents a weird sort of pleasure that he is 'sewing his oats' or some such nonsense. Cazelarias has never sewn any 'oats'. The fact that he has never slept with any of the women he's taken out on random dates has done nothing to stop them from out-competing one another with wild tales of their exotic sexual encounters with him. Cazelarias has been waiting for years to see who will break the dam first and admit to the deceit. As yet, he's still left in awe of his apparent skills and desirability between the sheets.

Flaws:
Confused: Cazelarias has no idea who he is, because he has always been who he needs to be in any given circumstance. He's been acting for so long, he has no idea what it is like to just be himself. Every situation has him carefully analysing what it is that will be expected of him, how CC would act, what CC has already done and why, how, and what it means for him. Cazelarias has been living in CC's shadow for so long, he has never anticipated a life where he could be himself.
Anxious: Cazelarias is an incredibly anxious individual. He's prone to panic attacks, and is incredibly uncomfortable with change or confrontation.

Habits & Mannerisms:
Cazelarias has a furrow between his brows that gets plenty of exercise, as he has a tendency to frown when thinking. He almost always has a pair of soft lambskin gloves on him, as Cazelarias hates getting his hands dirty or damaged. He has a habit of tugging on a small lock of hair by his cheek when anxious.General Personality:
Soft and gentle, in words and action, Cazelarias is greatly at odds with the reputation that has been built about him. Portrayed in gossip as a whorish playboy who makes ladies shriek his name and sigh in remembrance, Cazelarias has never slept with anyone, and certainly not a woman. Indeed, for all the things the gossips have to say bout him, Cazelarias is in fact very little of it. He is naturally polite, withdrawn and demure. He is incredibly modest and easy to fluster and quick to blush. He has a wide-eyed innocence about him that is usually written off as a ploy but is in fact very genuine.Cazelarias is reserved, and it takes a lot to get him to open up, or even get a smile out of him. He has a serious nature, and often a serious expression. He takes everything in stride, and rolls with it and rarely lets anyone – even Cazan – know his true feelings on something – especially if those feelings are of a negative nature. He suffers great anxiety, especially when he is put into situations he didn’t expect or is unsure how to act in. He is no stranger to panic attacks, but one would be shocked to learn such a thing about him.
Slow to trust and quick to withdraw, Cazelarias has never had a close friend, and always felt he neither needed one nor wanted one. He speaks honestly with his sister when he feels the need, but otherwise has a tendency to bottle up his thoughts and emotions. If he can find the time, Cazelarias will sneak out in the middle of the night, climbing up a favourite tree (the only time he risks his precious hands) and whisper all his thoughts, fears and hopes up to the stars in the hopes that they will answer him.

Important History:
722, age 5: Cazelarias finds it amusing that his sister and he are able to confuse both friends and family, by his sister dressing up as him. They get into a lot of mischief, and while it gets Cazelarias into some trouble, he actually doesn’t mind, because he also learns how to manipulate the situations (and his sister) into being ‘him’ when punishment is being dealt.723, age 6: Finds Cazan’s broken leg incredibly boring. She can’t pretend to be him – and he’s certainly not about to break his leg to cure that boredom. Instead, Cazelarias finds he has to do all his own chores, take all his own punishments, and gets no fun time by watching Cazan pretend to be him. Its incredibly dull and he dislikes it intentely.
726, age 9: Cazan finally makes it to the top of the tree that has been her personal nemesis for the past several years. Cazelarias has no desire to follow his sister to the top branches, and instead waits at the bottom of the tree so he can run for help if she falls out and breaks her neck. His anxiety doesn't settle until she has made it safely back to the ground, where he's quite firm about her not climbing it any more. She beat it, she doesn't need to climb it again. Right?
729, age 12: Cazelarias is enrolled into the leatherworking craft. Which he quickly learns he has no true talent for, or desire to work. But he's stuck there, as his family are all delighted by the prospect of a leatherworker among them. Cazelarias hates the way it smells, hates the way it feels, and hates how often he cuts his hands trying to do the work set out by the master. He is able to get by, floating somewhere in the middle of the class as far as work quality goes.
731, age 14: Cazan first begins to dress as her brother, and go to his leatherworking lessons for him. Cazelarias is incredibly anxious about their being caught out to start with, but Cazan is a fast learner, and does have a talent for leatherworking. She shines in the class, and Cazelarias finds he has the time to hide away in the family library and read books, a favourite past time of his. He has to be careful not to be seen by anyone, but the library is rarely visited and easy to hide within.
732, age 15: Cazan begins setting Cazelarias up for dates with the girls that flirt with her while she's dressed as him. He begins to form the persona of "Cazan's Cazelarias" or "CC", and vastly improves at his improve skills, picking up cues from the people he's with as to who they are, and what they know and expect of him. He has no desire to do more than take these girls on dates, and while very few of them get so much as a kiss out of him, rumours begin to fly about his increasingly incredible talents in bed. Cazelarias is mortified by such things, but plays along as required.
737, age 20: Cazan makes journeyman for Cazelarias, who feels awkward taking the credit for something he has had nothing to do with for years. He's still shocked that no one has figured out their antics, or busted him for being in the library studying politics and maps when he should be in a lesson his sister is at. He doesn't look the gift horse in the mouth, though, and does his best to play along and glide through the whole ordeal. He honestly can't remember the last time he went to a lesson personally.
740, age 23: A particularly petty disagreement with his sister involves Cazelarias stalking off to the library to sulk in a favourite corner, while Cazan - unbeknownst to him - takes off to Faranth knows where. Its three days after Cazan is gone before they hear a rumour of where she has headed - to the Weyr, of all places - and Cazelarias is charged with finding her, and bringing her home. He's thankful for the excuse to not have to pick up his craft personally, since he has no idea what a journeyman does in leatherworking and knows he sure as shit wouldn't be able to do any of the work. Instead, he finds his favourite horse and begins the arduous task of hunting down Cazan.
741, age 24: There is nothing enjoyable about hunting down his missing sister. The travel is boring and the nights are scarily lonely. Cazelarias doesn't handle it well, and his anxiety often gets the better of him; there are monsters in the dark that could get him! Every time he thinks he might have caught up with Cazan, he hears a new rumour about the leatherworker - he quickly realised she was traveling as him, and that made it easier when he said he was looking for his twin - and would have to change directions. Holds, Halls, an empty Igen Weyr and he set off for Telgar, which was the next closest. It took forever and a day to get there, but eventually Cazelarias made it. Only to discover his sister was not there. Exhausted, he opted to stay for a few days and figure out where to go next.
741, age 24: Cazelarias is trying to get comfortable at Telgar Weyr when he hears of the Hatching happening in Fort, and a nice greenrider offers to take him there so he can watch. Cazelarias is charmed by the idea, and agrees shyly to the offer. The dragonride is exhilarating, and between is terrifying. He's not overly thrilled at the prospect of doing it again to get back to Telgar, but ops to worry about it later. Instead, when he is on the ground and making his way through the crowds, Cazelarias finds he's confronted by a couple of people that "know him", and realises with a start that he's made it to the Weyr his sister is at. How under Faranth's golden wings she got there, he has no idea, but at least he's finally caught up with her! Finding her proves that much easier - and more difficult - when he spots her, dressed as him, Impressing a gold dragon. Because of course she did.
Cazelarias is adopted by N'reh, who helps keep his anxiety in check and educate him on the strange ways of the Weyrs. Cazelarias still tries to spend as much time as possible in the library, reading new books he didn't know existed, while his sister does Weyrling things, and then her dragon flies and she's pregnant and getting married and has a mate and Cazelarias simply can't deal with all the stress her life brings crashing down on him. He spends a lot more time sulking and hiding.

Additional Information:
Cazelarias is a crafter because Father made him take it up; not because he enjoys it or has any flowery ideas of becoming a great Master Crafter or whatnot. He doesn’t enjoy manual labour, even relatively lazy manual labour like leather working. While Cazelarias enjoys the scent of a finished product, he can’t stand the cuts and bruises he's prone to ending up with, and he hates dyes and inks and getting his hands dirty.Cazelarias doesn’t remember how it came about that Cazan ended up taking his place in his classes, but it did start with her helping him with his assignments, and then doing them for him, and the next thing he knew, she was dressing up as him and going to class. Not that he minds; sometimes it causes some interesting quirks in both their days, but mostly it works for him. He has a faux education, and she has a faux set of knots. Perfect, right?
