Latest Updates

2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Monthly Event
2024-February
Details: Link

Welcome to the Month of Lovetm! This month's Monthly Event is all about Romance, whether it is asking someone out on a date, or getting sweaty between the sheets! Anything and everything counts, if it even looks sideways like it could be related to Valentine Day -- including lover's spats, or breaking up, Flights Wins (or Flight Losses!). Honestly, this month has a huge opportunity for interpertation, so go wild!

Ahh, the fresh snow, the crisp air, the naked trees... welcome to Winter! Or, just the Colder Months for those in the more Northern Weyrs, while Ista is just... not as hot. But it is time to enjoy the end of the Turn, so folks should get together, spend some time gossiping, and drinking Hot Chocolate (alcohol and marshmallows opional)... does Pern even have marshmallows????? (they do now!)

Istan Wildfires



Information
The long, dry summer has royally screwed Ista, and when a heavy dry thunderstorm rolls in over the Island, the lightning within causes fires in three separate locations across the Island. While the fires are spotted in a relatively timely manner, the dry conditions and the strong winds carrying the storm area against the Istans and their dragonriders. The fires catch quickly, and spread wildly.

It is time for the dragonriders to prove their worth to the non-riders of Pern! Saving lives, and doing their best to contain the fires and all the damage they cause is paramount!


Dates & Locations
23.07.739 AL: A massive front of storms rolls in off the ocean from the South-West, heading towards the mainland of Northern Pern. The storms promise a much-desired drop in temperature, and there is much hope for rain after the long summer drought will water the fields, as well as top up the lakes and dams. Unfortunately that hope is dashed when the storm proves a dry one, without a drop of water but a lot of thunder, lightning and winds.
24.07.739 AL:
2am - 4am: Somewhere in the early morning hours lightning strikes three separate locations across Ista Island. See image.
6am: The watch dragon at Rocky Hold smells the smoke, and finally sees the fires that are located both to the north and to the south-west. The Hold is alerted to the incoming danger, and firelizards are issued to Ista Weyr.
7am: Dragonriders are called in from Telgar and Fort Weyr to assist with attempting to bring the fires under control. Dirt firebreaks are dug, water is dropped from above – any means the riders come up with are attempted, though they all seem to fail in some manner, causing a lot of exhausted frustration.
10am: By now Rocky Hold has been abandoned; most of the Istan dragonriders were called in to help evacuate the residents of the Hold – no small feat, for there were about 5,000 of them – in addition to any Fort or Telgar riders who were available to assist.
30.07.739 AL:
2pm: Another massive front comes in off the ocean, bringing with it strong winds that cause a lot of concern that it might buffer the fires back up. Luckily it isn't carrying any thunder or lightning, and instead drops about a foot of rain over the course of the next six hours, thoroughly drenching the island and creating pools of water everywhere. The rain appears to be the final break in the hot spell, and as of the beginning of Month 08, the average temperature is down to a much more comfortable 27 Celsius (80.6 F)


IC Notes
** Information to be added soon **
Prompt: Additional Information Here

OOC Notes
Ideal outcome: ---> The fires burn from 23.07.739 through to the 30.07.739 when they are finally conquered. For the most part, this time is spent with dragonriders running rotations along the border lines, preventing the fires from passing the barriers and firebreaks that have been constructed, and thus saving the remainder of the island from burning. The rest is left to burn itself out, as there is little that anyone can do for the middle portion of Ista Island.

Character Impact ---> I’d really love for your characters to have impact on this plot! I want to see them in action! Will they make things better? Will they fuck up and make things worse? How do they impact the fires and the lives affected by them, either directly or indirectly?
