March already! Wow the year is flying by, isn't it?

And that means… another installment of the Sundered Weyr News!

Bondings
In bonding News, a short Assorted bonding is due to end on the third, in which a tragic mudslide has trapped some poor shinies.

Captured characters are seemingly up for bid by the Caradras; who knows how they will escape this fate?

And a Mystery Bonding is set to begin soon! For those of you who participated in or were aware of Scarheart's Giant Egg Event, this is the long-promised Bonding to a NEW SPECIES! With participants performing reputation-buildilng quests, one must ask exactly who they are buidling reputation with, and why? (I've been sworn to secrecy – sorry!)

And at long last, the Gryphons have been revealed, and Bonded! Now all they need is for their new Bondmates to give them their proper names.

Adventures
The Iron Door Adventure is still going strong, with the band of Heroes having just defeated the last of a cluster of nasty Crystal Eater beetles. But it seems the Githyanki, Korazjh, is receiving some sort of comminication with another mind below the ground. Who or what could this presence be?

Events
As hinted at in Rise of the Dark Towers, something ominous is happening around Haven Weyr, something bad enough to have alerted the Champion of Aeon, A'lan the Bronzerider, If he knows anything more, he isn't yet saying, but everyone should keep their eyes open – one never knows when another incident may tie into this!

“Ahem! Don't mind me if I just speak up here.”

Oh, well, I suppose not, Kalatis.

”Well, I certainly hope you wouldn't, since you forgot my specific request last month!”

Eh heh…

”Well, hello all! For those that don't know me, I'm Kalatis, owner and proprietor of Kalatis' Rare Relics I know that business has been slow, but I wanted to come forward to tell you about two exciting developments.

“First of which is a New Item arrived in my Shop (it actually arrived last month, but this was never spoken of so it's new now). I know that although you are Bonded to all those lovely shinies, some of them only have empathic connections to you. They lack the ability to form words, even though the intelligence to do so is there. How frustrating that must be! Well, my magical research has found the solution should this be the case for your and yours: an elixir formed from condensed vapor that surrounds the Veiled Shrine. Called Aeon's Kiss, it will grant those mute shinies who drink it a voice of their own at last! As with the Bond Talismans and Prismatic Crystals, one vial, enough for one Bonded, will run you 50BP.

“And lastly, my Big News! I know that many of you have had your eye on my wonderful Dream Clouds, those delightful things that can unlock the creature of your wildest imaginations. Well, I have been fortunate enough to stumble upon a surplus supply of the vital component needed in their formation. So, Dream Clouds are half-priced while supplies last! That's right – what was formerly 500BP is now only 250BP.

Don't forget the Shop Coins. These golden tokens will help discount your purchase even further, though finding them may take a little bit of effort on your parts. Hope to see you around!


Site Developments

Ok, on to the site itself, and its continual growth and development.

First, the admin team has been discussing the feasibility of allowing everyone to earn more character slots besides the two given at joining. These slots would be earned by Post Count, much as Bonding Permissions are earned. The exact numbers are something we're still working on, and we'll keep you updated here as progression is made on this.

And second, as some have seen Cassandra has suggested that a system be set up to allow people to put Shinies into a kind of Adoption/trade in system. We've discussed it, and agree that it's a viable, and useful, idea. Like the Character Slots above, we will be working to fine-tune this concept down to something that everyone can have fun with, which may include polls or threads in the Nuts and Bolts forum as things progress. Hopefully by the month's end at the latest we will have this implemented.

Third, we will be opening up the Creature Submissions! This is the place where if you have an idea for a creature to add to the Database, you can post it and perhaps get it put in as an official creature. This will be something of a process, as we will be working on the aforementioned ideas first, but this is a head's up to get your thinking caps on and get a jump start if you've had an idea for a while and want to see it here! (Hint: Look at the Database to see what we already have, and mimic the format we have already used on other shinies).

Lastly, a Poll has been set up to open discussion on a minor thing that is really just my wanting to make sure there are no misunderstandings or confusion on the site. In advance, NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG. Just to make that clear. ^.^

If ever you have an idea that you think would make this site more enjoyable, or fill a need that we haven't seen, please by all means suggest it! Sundered Weyr is your site as much as it is ours, and it can only succeed with everyone's help.

As Always, Your friendly neighborhood -

Ah, I was unaware of the exact date, thus why I didn't make note of it. But when it goes up I shall most certainly put it in the Sidebar and make a note here (though I think everyone will find it quickly!) ^.^

Ok, posting it here, but the details on Extra Character Slots has been decided. (this will also be added to the Rules and elsewhere too)

A third slot requires 75 Posts. Keep in mind that these must be In Character posts, so please keep OOC posts to a BARE MINIMUM (preferably at the beginning or end of an IC post, and as short as possible). When threads are archived for point totals and such, I DO tend to delete pure OOC notes, unless they seem essential to the thread, so that can drop your count down.

Each slot after that requires an additional 75 posts. So...

4th slot - 150 posts
5th slot - 225 posts
6th slot - 300 Posts
Etc

These characters will have their own forum place like Primary and Secondary characters will, and should go there. They will also have a Shiny List Forum set up for them. These both should be up shortly.

Also, there will be some adjusting of the forum areas with this new development. Please bear with us as we work on getting things to the most functioning as we can.
Note: Until further stated, Scarheart, Belial, and Cassandra have standing permission to powerplay Raferties or Anari.
