This newsletter also has to cover for the March newsletter that I’m sure some of you noticed did not show up. March was a terribly busy month, I merely forgot. I’m sorry! But this means that this month’s newsletter is double the content because while I was busy, roleplay continued on the forum and people still had fun.
OOC news.
A lot of new people joined the game. One of them had to quit, too. Good luck with the dreaded RL, Tegan :) Aside from her, the new players since the beginning of March are 215024(Khay), Eveykins, J, Wondie, Sara, Mark and whackingfish. It’s an absolute pleasure to have you all, I hope you’re enjoying your time on WoF and continue to do so.
The biggest OOC news is the upcoming anniversary of our little forum. On the 19th of May, 2010 myself and SR started the very first RP scene with what now are the Weyrleaders of Enkala. We’re happy to have spent this year with you all and look forward to many more. The anniversary will bring some fun events, In and Out of character contests and the opening of Enkala Hold for real!
As a pre-announcement concerning this event, I’d like to make it official and let you all know that anyone who wants to create a Holder for Enkala Hold, may do so outside their normal character quota. Plotting has already begun so do join the fun. Just like the Weyr, the Hold is promising to come out just as crazy and full of troublemakers.
More about the anniversary in the next newsletter.
Now onto the less important but just as exciting and fun news. First order of business is the creation of the Matchmaker mission…. Quest… thing. *coughs* Cookie points for whoever gets the reference. In short, the matchmaker mission is to match up people’s characters that either haven’t had enough play, have been forsaken for a while and needs to get back into action or any other reason a person wants. It’s also fun and such. To sign your character up for it, go here and follow the instructions. First attempts have been made and it looks as if it’s working just fine! For these who struggle with first posts there is a possibility to have the staff set up the scene for you and your RP partner we matched you up with and have you follow into it. We hope it will prove a useful tool for everyone.
Another awesome thing that sadly hasn’t been taken advantage of so far but I have high hopes for it, is the Gifts topic. It’s a follow-up on our highly popular Turn’s End gifts topic only this is for all time. Use it to share good news, pretty pictures, poems, jokes… whatever you wish and just have fun with it.
Our time-line has been updated a little to cater to our needs. We hold our scenes in current time set by the timelord SR. Basically we only set the quarter in which we currently play in and then play through that until the next quarter is announced. This should keep us all happy with the progression of time and not rush anyone. Any questions about the time please direct at the mighty timelord.
IC news.

A lot of great characters were created in March and April, 2011 and here they are: K’rin(Tegan’s character), G’tien, Emalya, Nymue, J’nathan, J’nor, Rayna, Selane, T’ral and Adrejian. Most of them have been seen in action(RP) already, keep going and rock on!
There was a Gather in the Third Month of 1758 to celebrate the establishing of Enkala Hold although the settlement itself was far from ready to be lived in. There was eating and drinking and merriment. Fun was had!
The Weyrlings are having their first flying lessons with the Weyrlingmaster M’vari teaching/forcing them for it. Some are happily skipping along while others are terrified. They will be flying in circles in no time, undoubtedly. All Weyrlings should join the lesson.
The former Istans and the resident Enkalans are struggling to get along. There is awkwardness between many but some are already getting by just fine, starting with the jolly greenriders who have no troubles mingling with various Enkalans, riders and others. Some say the former Wingleader of the Istans G’tien only came to somehow trick the Weyrleadership from the current Weyrleader T’khor but surely that is just a mean rumour, he’s so adorable and polite! The Weyrwoman doesn’t seem impressed though…
And of course, the best way to get to know your fellow dragonriders is to take part in a mating flight! And so it began with Istan green Enyth, indiscriminately chased by both Istans and Enkalans. Ahh, love is in the air. Good luck to all the boys, she’s a pretty one!
Nearly a Turn after her last Flight, the Senior Gold Talmeth has also risen to mate, in order to keep the stream of fresh dragons coming steadily. This close to Pass it is theorized she will be rising quite often from there-on and so the question rose whether the flight would be limited to only the Weyrleader’s bronze or not. But both the gold and the Weyrwoman said nothing – and we all know that which is not forbidden, is allowed! – so now as the gold rises, the boys line up to give chase, their riders confident that THEY will be the next Weyrleader of Enkala. We’ll see what happens!
The Thread is coming so very soon. Is Enkala finally ready? What else can they do to bolster their ranks and improve their quality? Those questions are on everyone’s minds these days as the Red Star glares down at everyone in clear daylight. The answers will be found soon enough…
