Fall 515 AV Calendar, Weather, and Seasonal Goals

Calendar

Fall has Endrykas following the Sylira border away from the stone city south towards Zindal Bay, bringing it into continuous warm weather for all to enjoy before the season gets colder. Hunting and gathering tends to dominate at this time, as well as trade with the coastal city of Claridon; though the city is still far off in the earlier half of Fall, as the season progresses Endrykas slowly makes its way closer to the seaside city.


Travel
Endrykas - Fall

Land Routes

Listed travel times assume modest mounted travel at 8-10 hours per day. More time spent traveling per day may only lessen the travel time by a couple of days at most. Travel in Cyphrus is easier than many other areas due to the relatively open, rolling grasslands. Wagons and extra cargo add 10 days to travel times.



Riverfall 1,015 miles 51 days
Kenash 675 miles 34 days
Claridon 450 miles 23 days
Ahnatep 785 miles 40 days
Syliras 1,020 miles 74 days
Zeltiva 900 miles 60 days
Lisnar 1,125 miles 75 days



5th – Hunting Begins.

7th – Hunters everywhere undergo a training test to see if they have what it takes to join in the annual Glassbeak hunt.

9th – People from all over Endrykas go out in search of natural stores of fruits, vegetables and nuts which will continue until stockpiles for winter are full.

13th – A massive herd of Olidosapai are spotted northwest of the city.

15th – A competition is held for hunters to bring down the biggest Olidosapai. The winning hunting team is rewarded with a new weapon each of their choosing. (PCs should work together)

17th – A member of The Watch is beheaded by a swords merchant in the marketplace. Justice is swift, but foreigners everywhere begin to feel ill at ease. The city's law is much less tolerant of strangers and turns away newcomers more frequently this season.

19th – A local tanning expert from the Ruby Clan runs a short course on tanning for anyone interested in attending.

21st – Hunting groups leave Endrykas in search of Glassbeaks.

23rd – Three men are killed during the Glassbeak hunt and seven others are seriously injured. Staff at The River Flower use a lot more stock than intended to keep the wounded men and women comfortable. Groups and individuals are asked to go out in search of different herbs to see Endrykas through the fall and coming winter.

29th – A strange cold-snap causes the Zibri to grow their hair a lot earlier than usual and their milk to dry up early, leaving many people to raise their young on expensive feeds. No one can buy any milk products in Endrykas until spring when calving starts up again.

30th – A lot of young children in Endrykas develop nasty coughs that concern parents.

31th – Crafters are paying well for pelts, yarn, and wool in order to make a start on the manufacturing of winter clothing.

35th – A design competition is held for embroiderers, weavers, and seamstresses who are tasked with putting together elaborate blankets and rugs.

41st – A large herd of wild cattle and horses are rounded up and auctioned off to the highest bidders. (Moderated Event)

47th – The winning team that managed to capture the biggest Glassbeak are awarded with Glassbeak amour and a pair of warm winter boots fashioned from prized Olidosapai leather. Those wearing this armour are considered to be some of the most elite hunters in Endrykas.

49th – Foragers are encouraged to go out in search of eatable roots, nuts, seeds, and flowers. The individual or team who brings back the best assortment of goods are awarded with enough dried meat to see them through the winter.

50th – Hunting Ends.

54th – A old Drykas woman, who visits the same time every year, wanders into the city to share old, historical stories with those willing to listen.

61st – Caiyha's Tears: A strange tree appears overnight at the heart of Endrykas as if it had sprung from the ashes of the central fire pit. The tree bears tasty blue fruit that look a lot like pears. Some don't feel any different for eating the fruit, while others see visions of the future. (Sub-moderated Event)

68th – The Watch discover a destroyed campsite a day's ride north of Endrykas. It looks like something terrible went down which causes concern. Everyone who lived there has been either eaten or killed and left to rot.

72nd – An ancient Earth Velispar [The Dark One] visits the city, his arrival is announced by the screams of men, women and children everywhere. (Moderated Event)

76th – A handful of slaves that escaped their Zith captors stumble through the Wind-Knotted Gates. Most of them can't remember their names, family, or trades. Two of them are barely conscious and all five are none but skin and bone.

84th – Individuals prepare their costumes and decorative masks for the big feast tomorrow. Spot prizes are awarded to individuals with the best; mask, costume, body paint, Strider blanket, and weaving on the day of the celebrations.

85th – A large feast is held in celebration of the food gathered and stockpiled for winter. Unwed individuals who have proved themselves worthy throughout the season are introduced to the daughters and sons of many Ankals and take pride of place during the feast. People everywhere tell stories, dance, and sing.

87th – A lot of horses and cattle are suffering from mud fever which makes travel to the winter grounds slow-going.

91st – Fall Ends

I'm going to claim the festival on the 85th. No one has jumped on that yet, so I will. I will post the link ASAP. It will be open to everyone, and I will talk to Tribal about the moderation of the prizes.

Edit: Here is the Link! I tried to set the scene a little while still getting the feeling of a post. I hope you guys will join in the fun.
