Summer 515 AV Calendar, Weather, and Seasonal Goals

Seasonal Calendar, Summer 515 AV

Summer in Endrykas is a time of trade, gathering, and training. Pavilions work together to prepare for the following seasons, especially winter, when there are less readily available fresh fruits and vegetables to go round. Grains, seeds, nuts, and fruits are dried out and preserved. Warriors hone their battle skills and take advantage of the fine weather. Rare metals are traded with merchants from Syliras, and livestock are fattened up on the tall grass, of which there is plenty.

3rd – A young man is struck by lightning and as a result claims to have a direct link to the god, Zulrav. No one can make any sense of the man’s babbling in the chimes before his death, except for the words, “The dark one is near.”

7th - Foreign traders from Syliras arrive with precious metals and other useful and rare items to begin trading with the people of Endrykas. The city of tents is a lot more crowded than usual.

20th - The Diamond Clan hosts a training day for anyone wielding a sword, axe, war hammer, or dagger that wants to come and hone their skills. Some of their top warriors are there to give free lessons and part with their knowledge on how to use these weapons effectively for attack and defence purposes.

27th - The Heidecraft family from The Threaded Hide seek a new apprentice to teach the tricks of the trade in all things to do with leather-work, including skinning, tanning, and shaping hide into pieces of armour or shields.

34th - A two headed snake is caught alive outside of Endrykas by a high ranking member of the Ruby Clan. Some believe it is a bad omen. The creature is put up for sale and sold to the highest bidder.

40th - The Emerald Clan hosts a training day for anything to do with ranged weapons, including bows, spears, and javelins. At the 14th Bell they take out a handful of hunting parties for those who seek to put their newfound skills to the test.

42nd – All Seven Clans agree on a water restriction from the Uvic Lake. The Watch is charged with policing this until the 69th when the restriction is finally lifted after a four day deluge of rain.

51st – Ancient cave paintings are discovered in the Under-watch dating back hundreds of years. The paintings seem to depict early uses of personal and world magic. The Under-watch guard the entrance to the cave closely, but a second entrance is discovered on the west side of the Uvic Lake.

[51st - Moderated Thread: signups below; even commences 6th August]

55 - A member of The Watch is killed in a Zith attack just south of the Uvic Lake and two more Zith are spotted flying over Endrykas later that evening. A reward is posted for anyone who manages to capture and kill one of these creatures.

60th - The Ruby clan offer a class in weaving, yarn spinning, fabric dyeing, and sculpting for the day (at the cost of the materials used), anyone interested in learning one of these skills is more than welcome to attend.

69th – Each of the seven clans sacrifice one of their prize Zibri to Zulrav for the much needed rain that fell over the last four days. Most of the city gathers at the heart to watch the offerings.

73rd – The remains of three Glassbeaks are dumped outside the Wind-Knotted Gates of Endrykas. The Watch is sent to investigate. Strange rumours are passed about the city, some think is it a threat from a neighbouring region, others believe the Gods are angry.

77th - A strange silver treasure-chest appears on the morning of the 77th. When you look inside, the chest appears to be empty. No amount of strength can move or lift the chest. When you place something inside the chest and close the lid, you will open it to find a gift. Not all gifts are as pleasant as they first appear, while others are invaluable.

[77th - This thread will be watched closely. You choose whatever you want to place in the box and I will respond with the gift awarded to your character in a single post for each character involved in the thread.

Rules for the event on the 77th are as follows:

1. Thread must contain [Silver Chest Event] in the title somewhere.
2. The thread can be a solo or completed with a friend.
3. Anyone can join this event and make their own thread.
4. You choose what goes into the box and I will tell you in a single post what comes out.
5. Your thread must be at least 1500 words long
6. Have fun!]


82nd – A sudden influx of rabbits causes concern as the season draws to a close and people start to think about the journey southwest to the Fall Grounds. Two Striders are put down after breaking a leg due to deep warrens. Hunters from all across the city go out to try and control the issue.

91st - Summer ends.

[left]Image Thunder From the 1st to the 3rd of summer, Endrykas is warm with thunder in the morning and evenings. No rain.

Image Partly Cloudy From the 4th to the 13th of summer Endrykas experiences warm, but mild weather with the hottest part of the day falling between the 11th and 14th Bell.

Image Sun 14th to the 22nd Endrykas is very hot. Water levels in the Uvic Lake are fine.

Image Rain 23rd of Summer, light rain all day and late into the night. Endrykas is thankful for the relief from the hot weather, but the next three days are sticky and humid.

Image Cloudy 24th to the 27th of summer is unnaturally humid with light showers overnight.

Image Cloudy 28th to the 47th Endrykas is hot, mild at first, but around the 35th the Uvic Lake is noticeably low. By the 42nd the Clans agree on a water restriction.

Image Rain The 48th to the 51st finally brings some relief to the hot days with light rain. Water is still restricted and now policed by The Watch.

Image Sun 52nd to the 60th is stinking hot, many people fall victim to heatstroke and The River Flower is at capacity. Makeshift tents are set up outside to help deal with the influx of people.

Image Thunder The 61st to the 64th is dry with thunder storms. The threat of wildfire is very real.

Image Heavy Rain 65th to the 68th sees a deluge of heavy rain fall on Endrykas. The Water restrictions are lifted and Endrykas sacrifice a prize Zibri from each of the clans to Zulrav.

Image Cloudy Sun, cloud, and beautiful skies from the 69th to the 85 with a few light showers between 72nd and 75th overnight.

Image Heavy Rain On the 86th of summer Endrykas experiences another deluge of heavy rain from the 4th bell to late into the night.

Image Sun From the 87th to the 91st of Summer there is not a cloud in the sky.

Summer 515 AV Calendar, Weather, and Seasonal Goals

Postby Naiya on July 2nd, 2015, 4:00 pm

I will tackle the thread on the 20th, the open to all training event. When I have a link I'll edit it into this post.

Here is the thread, Diamonds in the Rough.

As another note, I don't think this thread needs post order or any real forms of structure. If you wanted to do sword, than jump in, do your sword work . If you can accomplish the lore and skill you wanted in two posts and you post them back to back, wonderful, please do so. If you end up with an eight post thread mixed up inside the event over the course of the next week or two, no problem.

At least that's how I feel on the Subject, if Tribal disagrees, he should let me know and I'll edit this back out!

I'd like to claim the 7th, with the traders! Do I need to have my CS approved first? I'll post a link when it's done!

The Merchants Arrival

Honestly, I just want to see where this thread goes, so it's just a short little opening. Since I'm new, feel free to correct any lore mistakes I might have made. Have fun!

The 82nd claimed by Lian Windrunner and myself.

We have set this as PM to Join as we planned on doing the thread as part of one of Lian's job threads, but that is no longer the case, so just a bit of bow training / hunting / male bonding and all that good stuff!

(edit) Also:

73rd completed as a solo since no one touched it and there are only a few days left of summer writing!

40th - The Emerald Clan hosts a training day for anything to do with ranged weapons, including bows, spears, and javelins. At the 14th Bell they take out a handful of hunting parties for those who seek to put their newfound skills to the test.

I would like to claim this one.
