*laughs*

Someone forgot to tell me that this year is a leap year. We get a Feb 29th! So the season change doesn't happen until Weds instead of tomorrow. I can stop panicking now! Thanks Poison for pointing this out!

Seriously?! Phew. Thanks Poison!

I did know this. It effects my payday (I get paid the 15th and the last day of each month) ... thus I assumed everyone knew

If you guys missed it... The Massive Djed Storm of 512!

For a culture on the verge of extinction and one that has experienced the total loss of their city Valkallah, Riverfall took the warnings very seriously. In a matter of hours, Riverfall was emptied and all the ships in the port were dry docked and stowed in caves for all those that were portable. Housing that was above ground was vacated as well as businesses and warehouses. Everyone went below ground, doubling up and tripling up moving supplies, food, and fresh water into any viable space. Outriders were sent to Endrykas and the Svefra were given messages as well hopefully warning the pods of the approaching storm.

Riverfall was hit on the cusp of Spring, its first day, in the early morning hours. The storm raged for four hours, doing significant damage to taller structures in the city. Those made of wood and glass had issues, not because of winds, but because sea bird colonies drew up and raged uncontrollably in forms that no one recognized. These birds sprouted fangs and claws, transforming and becoming vicious. They remain a danger to anyone for days and days on end after the event.

The orchards and vineyards that were on the verge of budding for spring have been hit hard as well. Riverfall is well aware that they might loose a whole year of wine and fruit crops. This will lead to food shortages that must be made up through seafood harvest and trade.

Riverfall opened its doors to any svefra and Drykas, trader or adventurer that needed shelter. Overall, due to Mura’s warnings, most of the Akalaks were spared the worst of it, having been forewarned. The Cerulean headquarters, the Takula Outpost, was all but crumbled. It will have to be completely rebuilt.

A small raiding party of ten Akalaks, caught unaware and having missed the warnings because they were out on the grass were caught in the storm. They rode back into the city unscathed five days later, and to a man they were now female and in complete and utter shock.

The great waterfall at Riverfall turned black with contaminated water, evacuating the Grasslands of dead bodies, debris, and completely and utterly corrupted organisms. The Akalak would have to work for weeks on end dredging Plunge Pool Bay and restoring it to its former beauty. The things that crawled out of the River and bay, most likely originating from the Grasslands themselves, were strange and unique. Some were rounded up for the Monstrous Menagerie and others put immediately to death.

Nivar Chevan sent out some of his personal guard to Endrykas as well to see if the Akalak could assist the Drykas in any way possible. It was his personal feeling that the population of Cyphrus should unite under strife, especially since Zith activity notiably increased ten fold, with the Zith seemingly excited and constantly repeating ‘Their Goddess had finally come!”.

I've got the skeleton calender and the thread challenges up. I'm going to flesh out the calendar later this evening or tomorrow and post the completed section up along with links the to the threads involved if anyone wants to join them. They'll be open all season and some opportunity for XP.

After we get all settled into the season, I'm going to be posting a post schedule for my mod duties and what threads get hit on what days to keep me on task and to not leave you guys hanging ... making sure you all have an awareness of when posts will happen!

Let me know if anyone else needs any more threads so far this season. I'm almost to my max, but we should have room for just a couple more.

Wow... just... wow XD. that would be an interesting scenario for an akalak character to play XD.

I am happily volunteering to guest mod a thread if anyone would like (once Gossamer's plate is considered 'full').

Assuming this is okay, Jen? I'm always glad to help out.

And what do we call an Akalak who has now become a female?

by **Gossamer** on March 1st, 2012, 10:22 pm

Guest moderating is great. Remember you have to fill out an application in the help desk when you do.. but its easy and gets passed through quickly.

The ten female Akalak will be sequestered for a while for study and then probably released back into the city in a season or two. There's only ten of them so they will still be called Akalak and will probably be special special NPCs.

Please note: All threads that were posted previous to the Season Change are now Grandfathered. No new posts by people not already involved in the thread can be made in the current season for past Grandfathered threads. All these posts will be removed. If you want to argue your coolness and as to why you should be allowed into a Grandfathered thread, take it to PMs.

I have been persuaded before but its not often a common thing.
