WELCOME
...to another newsletter! It's a big one: so pour some coffee, find a comfy seat, and read all about the most recent happenings on this here forum.
Ic news
After being separated from Talbot and Ivy by an unexpected cave-in, Tam makes her way through Dragonsdeep in her epic quest to reunite with them- the teensy tiny issue being that she really has no idea where she is. How fortunate it is then that she should run into Desmond, who fell through a sinkhole in the Shade and...also has no idea where he is. Cue the arrival of Haikal, Astraeus' new Rider. Will he be the valiant hero these poor lost souls so desperately need? Or are they doomed to wander in lost-ness until the end of time? Stay tuned to find out!
Meanwhile, through a series of threads set in the recent past, we look at how some of our favourite characters met their Riders. Criss, son of Izett and Olorzxx, has long sought after a Rider of his very own. Now in Montgomery, Alabama, he may just have found one: in the form of a young man named Fenris Fell. Elsewhere in the United States, Astraeus meets his soon-to-be Rider Haikal in a more...eventful, fashion. Haikal drives his car into a tree, no thanks to the great furry dragon loitering in the middle of the road. They banter a bit. Astraeus threatens to kidnap him. And then they call it a day and fly off into the sunset to have adventures together.
Back in the present, D is taking his friend Darkflame back to the Life territory to meet his Creator, Fazoola. They stop over in the Light lands to hunt horses. This one is an open thread so, if you're interested, head over to the Light territory and check it out!
Another open thread has just started up, starring our favourite Air Rider Haikal, who dozes in the Air territory a few days after arriving at the island. Will your character be the one to startle him awake, or attempt to engage him in friendly conversation- or heck, even try to mug him? This thread takes place a couple of days before the earthquake which kicked off the events of Dragonsdeep, so your characters should be able to participate regardless of where they are during the main plot.
