My, my! July has already come upon us! I hope everyone’s staying cool (I know I’m trying!) and having a good time this summer! Lots going on around the Weyr, so on with the news!
Bondings In bondings, we have these currently open for participants:
Spiral of Insanity -- Assorted Long I Got a Little Treat For You! -- Long Phoenix He Who Walks in Doubt -- Sharpblade Short Lets Get Lost in the Forest -- Firelizard Long[/url]
The Mistwatcher Speedbonding is temporarily on pause while I try to confer with Terris regarding the unclaimed creatures in his Bonding.
Adventures The Shadow Dragon is nearly defeated! Yet it has one more deadly blow to let fly, a flurry of attacks aimed at all the Heroes! Can they survive this horrible death throes?
Events
The Anniversary Creatures are slowly but surely coming along! I hope that everyone that has thus far received theirs are pleased, and I entreat those still waiting to be patient - everyone will have theirs completed before July is out, this I promise! It’s a lot of fun making up the unique ways the Ethereal Mutation affects the creatures, so much so in fact that I have a request from everyone - do you think we (the Admins) should have the Ethereal mutation come back next Anniversary? Or would you prefer a unique mutation or creature each year? Post below with your opinions!
Well, with it being the first, both the Lets Paint the World and Fill the Library contests have wrapped up!
In Lets Paint the World… I know I said there would be a poll. But as there was only one entry, a poll seemed rather moot, wouldn’t you agree? So therefore the Winner is Tidesweep, with this lovely entry - Teragaia by Tide. Wonderful work, Tide, and you may claim your prize by PMing Kay with your choice of 15 BP, or 5 BP and 2 Shop Coins!
In Fill the Library, both Retsom and Tide submitted wonderful stories! We have The Scavenger and the Cliffs, recounting the appearance of the Zaithand, and Just the Beginning, going a bit more in-depth with a briefly-appearing NPC, Abigail Offob. For these works, Tide will recieve 10 BP for the entry, plus 5BP for extra words over the minimum 500. Retsom will be awarded 10 BP, plus an additional 10 for extra words. Well done to you both, and wonderful reads!
Lastly, Shrine Attendants!
We had two applicants, and both have been Accepted to the position. Congratulations, Tidesweep and Gwydion! Hopefully you can help us with the backlog of requests, as well as bring fresh voices to the descriptions. I have, after poking around the Admin Controls, created the group 'Shrine Attendants' to mark your status and the status of any future Attendants, but please PM me at once if something seems off. You should have the exact same permissions and such as normally, though this may alter slightly as I explore more what functions will be required for your duties.
Again, this does NOT prevent two members from arranging, with Admin clearance, for someone outside the Admin and Shrine Attendant groups to create a creature in the Shrine (IE Raina asks Cass specifically to make her X creature and Cass agrees to), or for anyone to willingly make their own creature for a claim. Simply PM an Admin before this happens to get the OK and so we’re not left scratching our heads wondering what happened, lol!
For a little help with creature creation, I have composes a small Guide to such, in the Resources section (handy there, no?). This is for everyone from Admins, to Shrine Attendants, to Bond Holders, or anyone working on the Description Exchange who might just want a refresher, or a new member who might have no idea what to do. These are guidelines, and no format is ‘required,’ but it’s also based off of what most everyone does here. I hope it may be helpful at least to someone!
Well, I think that’s it for July News! Happy Summer all, and keep your eyes here for any further breaking News!

Yay for becoming an SA~
As for the mutation...I like the thought of both keeping the ethereal mutation and adding on new mutations years after year. Then again, that is just me XD If I really really had to pick one over the other, I would pick keep the ethereal mutations. Since each companion and rank would have a different way of presenting it, you probably won't have to worry about running out of possibilities.
Though if we can have both...We could always have a new unique mutation for that year and then an egg that would give a random past anni mutation. But I wouldn't know the logistics behind it very well so I have no idea if that is possible or would be possible.

I'm with Tide, I love the idea of both keeping the Ethereal mutation or going with the new creature possibility each year! Honestly if I can only pick one it would go to.... I would say the mutation. That way it allows a variety of possibilities!

AND THE IRON DOOR ADVENTURE IS FINISHED!
And with is, the unveiling of a second new species on Teragaia, the Sumines! Magical little figurines of animals and carves of a variety of materials, they're a zoo in your pocket!
I'll get to putting the proper links on the database page and the masterlist page, but for now they're in the drop-down lists.
