This post will also include signups for anything, and if new things are added, we shall update the OOC. Feel free to request things as well. OH! And if your character has a birthday in Jadeyan, update their age now :D [hider=Ebonfort Capital] The Capital is covered in snow for the entire season. Squires and pages are used to keep the main roads and rooftops clear of snow, and are an ever present sight. The rivers that wrap around the walls are frozen over, and are thick enough for crowds to walk upon safely. Many of the food vendors and the like are offering many hot beverages and foods now, for a price of course. 1st 11th - A Doctor named Geralt can be found reaching out to duelists, bounty hunters, and mercenaries for a job. 25th - Knights' Tournament is held in the mountains around Stone Crest. 44th - The Festival of the Found Ones begins with a parade from the Citadel, honoring orphans and their adoptive parents. 59th [/hider] [hider=Azure Strand] Azure Strand is frigid all season long, but never sees snow. The cold has led to an increase of more reckless, noticeable crimes, particularly when it comes to stealing food and clothing. For the first half of the season, the harbor is completely frozen, locking all the ships in place. They thaw out in the second half, however, and that leads to a new wave of work for people repairing them. 1st 6th - A Lieutenant Knight kills a young girl caught stealing a coat from a shop. 9th - Various commissions are sent out to make the lives of all the Knights in Azure Strand uncomfortable. 15th - The Lieutenant Knight is executed by a masked individual, from atop a building in full view of the public during the Sailor's Song Fair. 21st - The Knights start rounding up people without cause, and torturing them, seeking answers about the murder. 35th - The leaders of the many criminal groups decide to fight back fully, commissioning assassinations of ranked knights, and offering bounties for any sashes and pins from them. 59th [/hider] [hider=Green Fall] Green Fall is covered in snow for the entire season. The village is staying productive. Because of the abundance of timber, bonfires and public cooking pits are common sights everyday. 1st 13th - Many citizens and knights begin complaining that random things of theirs are going missing with no explanation. 28th - Small pets and critters have begun going missing as well. 33rd - A Sylph fortune teller arrives and sets up a booth for one day only. 41st - All of the missing objects and animals return. 59th [/hider] [hider=Ruby Banks] Ruby Banks is cold and crisp, all of the crops are dead. It's a fairly relaxed season, most people working on their hobbies and sidecrafts. The Ruby River is frozen over for the entire season. 1st - Ruby Banks was raided during the Winter Moon Festival. Much of the western portion of the village was set ablaze, people killed and captured. 3rd - Citizens of Ruby Banks are holding a vigil in the center of town for those dead and missing. 5th - Citizens work together to begin rebuilding the damage done. 17th - The Annual Ice Ball is held atop the frozen Ruby River. 29th - A Squadron led by their new Sergeant Edoward leaves Ruby Banks for Scream Watch. 41st - A large group of flighted races and creatures put on an aerial play over the river. 53rd - The farmers get the city together for a feast consisting only of the preserved foods they've grown and made in the past year. 59th [/hider] [hider=Scream Watch] Scream Watch is very cold, the winds frigid and unforgiving. 1st 5th - Following the recent raid on Ruby Banks, Scream Watch has been focusing its scouts and spies on learning which tribe was responsible. 13th - Scream Watch has commissioned masons and wood workers from Green Fall and Stone Crest to aid in building large outposts and watchtowers along the patrolled borders of the region. 28th - The local brothels and prostitutes celebrate their patron day that they dub Big Love Day. They do this by selecting people they deem they are very fond of, and offering them an exorbitant amount of money for sex. 40th - Several Squadrons join with the Sergeant Edoward, and go out into Screamer Territory, a vindictive rampage for the New Year's Raid. 59th [/hider] [hider=Silent Rise & Silvermist] Silent Rise and Silvermist are completely covered in snow, and the main village seems much more quiet than normal. Hunters are kept especially busy, as winter is the ideal time to hunt for Dire animals. 1st 14th - A large mass of cats, hobbicats, catkin, felinoids, and other small feline races migrate into the village for the winter. [b]Lii [/b] 25th - A Retiring Silent Hunter puts up his bow as a prize as a reward for most dangerous solo hunt, trophy must be brought back. [b]Ahmal, (Lii on Standby)[/b] 33rd - A large group of youth discover a cave that leads into the underdark. [b]Lii[/b] 45th - A group of treants come from the northeast, speaking of needing help in their forest from an unknown threat. [b]Ahmal, (Lii on Standby)[/b] 54th - An unexplained explosion occurs in one of the larger trees, starting a large fire, putting Silvermist at risk. [b]Ahmal, Lii [/b] 59th [/hider] [hider=Stone Crest] 1st 6th - The Drow living in the Underdark are reporting strange deaths to their livestock. 13th - The strange deaths are attributed to a discovery of dead creatures being brought back to "life" 19th - The Knights declare the undead threat to be vanquished, celebrate with raucous parties in the local taverns. 28th - The monsters return, stronger than before, killing several civilians, before being driven back. 35th - A loud boom is heard through the land, triggering many avalanches through out the mountains. Search and rescue parties are sent out to check out the various mountain villages. 43rd - A group of Deep Dwarves from the Underdark wipe out a drow settlement. 51st - A massive frost troll bard visits the city with many songs and stories. 59th [/hider] [hider=Pyresia & Ilumírë] [i]Weather: Temperatures are the coolest they will be all year with days around 78F/25C and nights dipping as low as 65F/18C. Skies are mostly overcast and brief cool showers blow in from the sea every few days. There is a high chance for fog in the mornings in the vicinity of the volcano due to open lava floes reacting to the precipitation.[/i] 1st: This is an election year for the Wyrmoot. As new year celebrations wind down there is a disturbance in the Gem Deeps. The corpse of a prominent Ixen (fire dragon) is found stuffed in a sapphire mine-shaft, cause of death...uncertain. A joint investigation between the Dwarven Mining Guild and the Wing Host is begun to discover the killer. 13th: A trading carrack called the [i]Wavecutter[/i] sets sail from the harbour under the command of a new captain. Her mission is to trade precious gems down the coast for goods and metal. 16th: A dwarven mining party doesn't report in for two days. Tunnel Runners discover the bloody aftermath of a slaughter. The carts of raw gems remain, but the bodies are gone, a trail of blood leading down into the Underdark. While there is no proof of drow involvement, tension rises between dwarf and drow Pyresians. 20th: An unofficial Shade Market is held by drow and dwarves in the middle of the night in a cavern in the subterranean portion of the city. The goods and services are dubious and illicit even by Pyresian standards, and a noted poison-maker is held for questioning. 25th: Wing Host scouts spot unfamiliar sails in the seas to the south but must turn back to the coast before they can investigate further. 31st: The annual Svantapzik or 'Sky Match' is held above a meteor crater slightly to the east of the city. This tournament is a test of the Wing Hosts skills in combat. The fighting starts at dawn. The morning is a bracketed tourny with flighted combatants in the skies and flightless fighters on the ground. The afternoon hosts a Last Man Standing dog fight in which any true dragon can enter. Much of the city turns out to watch the show. 40th: Two lightning dragons, a mated pair, are found dead in their balcony home, their corpes blackened by fire, their single infant wyrmling missing. The Shochra clan (lightning dragons) retaliate against the Ixens in a series of skirmishes that leave several homes and businesses trampled. Tensions between the four dragon clans mounts as dwarven citizens attempt to remain neutral, many petitioning the Wyrmoot for reparations. 45th: A small tribe of barbarians is discovered on the northeastern borders, many of them carrying armour and equipment crafted from dragonhide and bones. Enraged, the two-dragon patrol kills and eats all but a few of these "Kvaren", bringing the rest back as captives to be imprisoned and questioned. 49th: Ilumírë is victim to a plague of small [url=http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n116/Drache04/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160101_141443554_zpsbji7rpf7.jpg]creatures[/url] who primarily seem bent on destroying the faerie city's beautiful architecture. But as more of them move into the area they begin attacking resident faerie dragons and fairies. 57th: A small group of dragons of the Xarzi (frost) Clan absconds from the Ash Peak, stealing a great deal of gold from the city's treasure hoard. It is rumoured that they are headed to a region to the northeast perpetually shrouded in winter. [/hider] [hider=Valley of the Screamers/Kerawac] Kerawac sees no snow, only frigid cold and fierce biting winds. This season hosts one of the biannual Gatherings, held in the center of the region. It is a massive festival, that all Warlords, Shadewalkers, and Swordmasters are required to attend. Most tribes come in full, however, to trade and barter, to settle disputes as a public spectacle, to catch up with old friends and rivals, and revel in their victories and tease those in defeat. 1st 15th - The Gathering begins with a massive collection of bonfires, upon the center of which all Sashes collected since the last Gathering are thrown. [b]Asher, Trix[/b] 18th - The Howling Storm tribe and The Winged Frogs tribe go to war. It is an impressive battle, that comes down to the two best swordsmasters from each tribe. The victory went to a female katzheer of the Winged Frogs, who was celebrated before being deemed Tribeless. [b]Trix[/b] 21st - All of the Warlords meet in a massive tent to discuss future raids for the next half year. Major topics include new regions to raid, Pyresia and New Vircastoria in particular. [b]Asher, Zenovia[/b] 23rd - All of the swordmasters host a training festival for the youth, regardless of tribe, separated by preferred weapon. [b]Asher, Trix, Zenovia[/b] 30th - The Gathering comes to a close. [b]Asher, Trix[/b] 33rd - A massive hoard of unknown creatures attack many tribes over the entire region, leaving many casualties. [b]Asher, Trix, Zenovia[/b] 43rd - The camps closest to Scream Watch are completely destroyed by the Squadrons under Edoward's command. 55th - An unusual structure has appeared in the center of the region, right where the Warlords met during the Gathering. [b]Asher, Zenovia[/b] 59th [/hider]
