WEEKLY UPDATE May 11 - 17



weather

The weather seems to have calmed, making way for blue skies and sunlight again. Temperatures will slowly rise over the week, stopping at around 80ºF/27ºC for the weekend.

No rain is expected this week, and winds remain as a simple breeze.

flora

The dandelions are popping up everywhere, overshadowing all other plants. A few early mushrooms are also sticking up their tiny caps on the south side of the tree, but they are the inedible kind and will cause a stomach ache if eaten.

fauna

With the birds daring to sing again, rabbits are coming to visit once more, lured in by the abundant dandelion leaves. One of these rabbits seem interested in digging a burrow by the tree, but will be scared away as soon as she sees any of the tree dwellers... but she'll come back a few hours later.

On Thursday, a snake come slithering in from beyond the mist. It's a European Viper, and will see the adventurers as lunch if disturbed.

events

• The mysterious man and his odd music has disappeared, making room for bird song and silent nights again. His disappearance has left a mark, however - near one side of the tree's mist boundary, a small stream (10 inches across) flows briefly to the reachable side of the mist before disappearing out again. It's a another good source of fresh, clean water - and items put in the stream will be taken by the small current and brought outside the mist. (This does NOT include characters.)

• A crack in the mirror has shattered the side quest, and the backlash flows over the tree. Failing the gift of fire, all fires are extinguished and cannot be relit, and where Eren's fire used to be is now a huge, pulsing firefly, too fat to move and hot enough to burn when touched. Like all fireflies and glow worms, characters can use it to fry, boil and cook!

• Someone is messing with your dreams... watching you sleep, even hiding under your bed?


Who leads the Night?
Who leads the Day?
Join their hands before the Heart of the Tree.

For a gift of fire, pour the lifeblood of the oldest over the youngest.

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!

A new IC page for the quests will be added for every new quest that appears, starting with the remaining Main Quest.
It will be linked in the Weekly Update for easy access.

Sweet! Since there are several people interested I started another thread with some initial ideas to coordinate.
