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!

Lymsleia nodded. "Mother sang the older ones herself. Our family has a tradition of being harper-trained and even if none of us are actually Harpers. My grand mother and aunts took it upon themselves to learn the older songs, and teach them- they're both harpers. It's mostly a tradition. Mother became a Healer and so did I." She hums a few bars and it is clear, she could have been a harper perhaps. The raw talent is there, just not the polish. Or maybe she just sounds really pretty.
"I don't think they would let the North burn, you're right. But the problem with having on breeding female and too many males--- she can only produce so many at one time. It's like a herd of runners. a stallion needs multiple mares- more offspring. It's probably why some men flirt." she explains picking up a few stones and arranging them. From her pocket a bit of charcol. "Lines represent males ,dots females." she says as she marks a few 'female rocks' and a few male rocks.
She places a cluster of the 'females' with a single 'male'. "A normal standard heard, plenty of offspring".
She takes a second rock, one female and places it in a cluster of many males. "Problem. Only one can breed with the female they fight. They fight so much, that starvation and death and luck make up the part of who gets to breed." she says in solmen voice. A Healer who understood people & animal instincts- useful. "THe Weyr's facing this second option I think.... the queen can only breed so much, right? Unless she produces more Queens, we're in trouble."
