OOC Info [Wind Reach] Calendar of Events Fall 516AV

[Emergence]

The season begins with some panic. A Zith was seen flying near Thunder Bay, much too close for comfort according to most Inarta. Zith spottings continue to arise every few days up throughout the season, though no direct contact has been reported to the public. A metal smith Avora goes missing soon into the season. May think nothing of it, but his important place and known reputation in Wind Reach has a few concerned. On a lighter note, Inarta traveling merchants return from Avanthal and sell strange new wares from the city of snow during the first market day of the season. The next day is just as exciting as news travels quickly about a very wounded Isur stumbling up to the Sanikas Gates early in the morning. He is quickly taken in by the Valintar and is not seen again by the public until twenty days later where he begins to traverse among commoners. He acts wary and shy and speaks nothing of how he came to Wind Reach, though questions about any other aspect about him are happily answered. In preparation for winter, Chef Daviod calls for the hunters and gatherers of Wind Reach for food, offering food vouchers for bringing him the foods he requires. Soon after the Isur's arrival the Valintar sends a group of mercenaries and hunters out into the Unforgiving. They return much fewer in number and with no news about where they went and what happened. The families of the missing hold quiet ceremonies, but are unsure if their loved ones are alive or dead. On the Fortieth of Fall the Valintar issues a city wide warning, "Beware of Zith" seemingly confirming the many fears Inarta had about the Zith flying too close. Still, though, no specific details are given. As the season goes on the temperature around the mountain stays its early Fall climate of cool and windy. Though later in the season the wind picks up heavily, usually common with snowfall, which is very absent strangely. Around the 53rd of Fall no snow has fallen and the citizens start to worry about Morwen and her antics. Although they embrace not being bound to their mountain quite yet, the strange weather causes some stir. As the wind continues to get stronger the lack of snow keeping the lava cool and inactive results in overflowing and splattering lava around the city. Some are badly burned and parts of the city close down for hours or days depending on how much lava has accumulated. Near the end of the season the food stores for Winter grow large, but without snow to stall their ripening the food begins to rot and all citizens are granted extra helpings for the rest of the season to avoid waste. The season then ends with danger as an Endal reports a large group of Zith accumulating outside Mt. Skyinarta. The Valintar request aid from citizens and the defensive attack will occur on the first of Winter.

Endal scouts spread word that a large pack of Zith are seen headed towards Mt. Skyinarta. The Valintar requests aid from any citizen competent in battle. [Q will occur on Winter 1] Mod Note: As people begin to inhabit Wind Reach a second quest line will be added to cater more to the citizens skills. This quest will be announced in the Announcements Thread.

Seasonal Challenges What is a Seasonal Challenge? Each season Wind Reach’s storytellers will provide a list of suggested ‘to do’ events for the characters here. These to-do threads are in no way required, but are simply for fun. Fall 516AV is September, October, and November of real time. There are a total of 8 Seasonal Challenges a season. If 6 or more challenges are completed by a PC, they will receive the city medal shown below. If all challenges are completed in the season a PC is awarded a customized in game item for their character made by the ST of Wind Reach. Threads need not be completed during the season, instead they simply need to be started within the season and finished in some way or another to count. This means the thread must be completed before being turned in. If a partner leaves, finish the thread on your own. Though for PC related challenges, the challenge must be completed within the thread before the partner abandons. Now, in terms of thread themes, the suggestions can be fast and loose in regards to however your character wants to spin the goal for the week. If your PC isn’t into flirting, then have them ‘flirt’ with a stray animal in Wind Reach and try to befriend it. If your PC isn’t into fighting with others, post a whole thread about fighting with yourself where you talk to and argue with yourself. You can accomplish a maximum of two thread goals per thread. When finished please turn the completed challenges into the Grade Request Thread via the format listed within for your rewards. 1: Have an encounter with a Zith (Spotting one, fighting one, etc.) 2: Roleplay with a PC of another race. 3: Roleplay with a Yasi PC. 4: Roleplay with a PC of the same Caste. 5: Buy something from the market. 6: Do something out of character for your PC. 7: Obtain an injury. 8: Do something to help out with the lava problem.
