Seasonal Challenges

Autumn.

This lazy agricultural settlement rests on the swampy shores of the Middle Suvan at the delta of The Kenash River. The River's slow moving bayou waters have bred a different sort of people - rugged, cultured, and somewhat violent. Sprawling plantations of tobacco and cotton grow on the outskirts of the swamp in the rich Cyphrus soils, while the city itself curls around the bayou and spawns decadence and sins of all sorts. Life is slower in Kenash, but the lack of pace is made up for in the excesses of food and flesh in a city where drinking, debauchery, gambling, slavery, and overbearing plantation families dominate the landscape.

The life of a Dynasty member is sooo tough...


✥ A General Overview ✥


The Seasonal Challenge is exactly what it appears to be: a list of unique thread goals that a player can opt to do, in part or in full, alone or with a fellow PC, and either as single posts or combined. All of the goals need to be started in the designated season, but they do not need to be completed by season end. Also, there is always room for interpretation, however, the local Storytellers have the final say in whether or not the challenge has been achieved.

Every season a new list will be generated. If a player manages to complete all 12 goals, they will receive not only a medal, which will be added to their profile, but they may just earn a reward or two in-game! That said, the ultimate goal of the Seasonal Challenge is to spark the imagination and push players to do things they would not normally think of or naturally do themselves. As a bonus, it can also help cure writer's block, which seems to happen, on a frequent basis, even to the best of us.

Happy writing!

Seasonal trends: Veils, brocade patterns (darker colours and silver thread are most 'in'), top hats for men, a walking stick is unnecessary, but often seen as a positive when used to accessorize an outfit (Zulaca-heavy trend). In the East Bank, to commemorate the opening of the Pavilleon, masquerade has become popular.
