[ Telgar Weyr Live ]





Volume 2, dated October 2009

Hello, this is your local journalist Randieh.
I’m here today to update you on the current goings-on and comings of the guild.
Sit back, kick up your feet, and enjoy the show!


__________Time & Weather


_______________Currently it is the 2nd turn of the Pass, which puts us at turn 2760 since
_______________colonization of Pern. For all in character purposes, it is the 3rd month
_______________of the 2nd year of the 10th Pass. Winter is full upon us and has been for
_______________about two months prior. The weather is starting to warm up.
_______________Snow is not as heavy and what is on the ground has begun to melt
_______________enough that people are sloshing around more than fighting the snow.
_______________It is still fairly chilly and wearing your coat to protect against the wind
_______________and cold is highly recommended.


__________Rumors and Gossip


_______________The plague continues to sweep through the Weyr, killing off our precious
_______________weyrfolk and dragonriders. The number of 'riders affected has been staggering
_______________and the method of prevention called into question. Rumors are that a recent
_______________transfer from the South is responsible for the disease and more than
_______________one threat has been issued against their person. Telgar Weyr has been officially
_______________quarantined - no 'rider leaves without a severe penalty upon return and no one enters.
_______________Until the ban is lifted, Telgar can receive no tithes. A food shortage is anticipated in
_______________the near future.

_______________Benden Weyr and Igen Weyr both have clutches on the Sands, as of last word.
_______________Contact with the other Weyrs is limited. Elenneth and Oweth receive
_______________regular news from the other Weyrs that they share. There is never any word
_______________of other illness-stricken Weyrs.

_______________Firelizards are to be kept from traveling to places outside the Weyr.
_______________Other Weyrs, Halls, and Holds have started requiring colored bands
_______________to be attached to firelizard's legs. Unmarkeds are being driven out with
_______________increasing brutality.


__________Upcoming Events


_______________Preparing for our move to the new guild, there's nothing really planned
_______________for the two weeks until that. Be prepared to move out on October 16th!
_______________See the new announcement called Our Future: Everyone pay attention
_______________for more on what will be happening when we arrive at our new home!
