- Weyrwoman L'anene and Weyrleader D'dita are currently in negotiations with other Weyrs for access to Trine's bountiful forest resources – a recent discovery had revealed that certain species of trees make for rot-resistant ships and an ore vein yields particularly strong iron and steel. Samples are required, so those with free time have been tasked with gathering these resources.
A wild pack of Watchwhers has been harrying some of the smaller settlements along the fringes of Trine. Bounties have been placed on the heads of the Whers, lead by a Gold and surrounded by greens and blues.
Thread is falling and emergency responders are needed! Follow the rules for Threadfall!
A trade caravan is overdue and Rogue Queen activity has been spotted in the area, perhaps the two are linked? Investigate along the route between Iteos and Aquor Holds. Roll 1d10 – if 1, 3, 5, or 7 it was indeed the Rogue Queens, drive them off! If 2, 4, 6, then the caravan was waylaid by felines and two of their Runners were killed in the conflict, escort them the rest of the way. If 8, 9, 10 then Thread begins to fall with the caravan out in the open.
A cold is sweeping through the city, laying low many of the general labourers requiring that the slack be taken up by the Dragonriders – a request has been made of you to help in repairs, do you do so gladly or deny them? What do you help with?
There are rumors of a Keller Sympathizer come to Trine with the last caravan. They've stirred up some old wounds and now you've been tasked with calming down fellow riders and weyrfolk. What sorts of things have they been spreading? Do you know this person?
Now that the Dragon Games are over, requests are flooding in from all over the territory for assistance with running messages, appearances at dinners, and even consulting appointments for Hold readiness for Thread. You and a group of our friends or colleagues has been selected to answer one of those calls and must spend a few days abroad. Roll 1d10: 1, 3, 5, 7 => You are requested to run sensitive documents for an important Holder Meeting between two major holds of your choice. 2, 4, 6, 8 => You must answer a consulting request at any of the major, minor, or middling holds in the territory. 9, 10 = > you were requested for an appearance at a Hold's Gather, a Marriage Ceremony, or some other official Weyr Business.
You are flying standard patrols around the territory when a snap storm makes it impossible to finish the patrol. You spot some individuals on the ground also caught in the storm but they might be Holdless from the ragtag appearance. How do you proceed? Roll 1d10 – if 5,7,10 then there is a Wanted man among them, (the higher the number rolled, the more grievous his crime).
The Messhall has had a terrible accident! Someone has gone and burned all of the dinner rolls and sweet rolls for the evening! Is your dinner date ruined? Do you help out? Do you complain loudly or switch to the strongest ale you can find?
You decide to pay your respects to Benden Weyr and spend a weekend reflecting on the lessons and sorrow that took place there.
You've been tasked with finding goods for the Ancientcrafters. Follow the rules for finding parts when playing. Select your location from a) Ruined Site in Trine's Jungle or B) Benden's Depths. Trine's forests have multiple ruins that most people leave alone out of fear for the technology but maybe it'll be of use to you!
