New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

71st 73rd of Zi'da - Insomnia Plague: For two nights, the people of Rharne suffer from an inability to find sleep. Sleep aids, chemical and medicines increase in demand during this episode....
She was not sure she would ever quite get used to it: the way the energy of a city could shock one's system after weeks at a quiet sea. Often there was a deafening hum as one sound lost itself in another and then another, the towns along the Zynyx having folded into the...
Dan gazed along the rows of swollen turnips stretching away from him across the field, and then dropped his gaze to the basket at his feet and sighed. Clearly, it was time to harvest them, which meant just as clearly that today's trial was going to be one of those long and repetitive...
Dan and Linnet arrived at the bean field with the full cart and a third settler in tow to lead the pony, Smoke, slowly along the headlands that bordered of the fields. The strips of unused land gave a way to turn plough teams and drive carts and animals across the fields without...
It was hotter out in the Stormwastes than the rest of the Stormlands, and Jack wanted to take precautions against that extra dry heat and sun wilting the crops, so he had repurposed the shelters that the settlers had used on the way to Rosebay to give the crops some shade too....
Nyda muttered, pulled from the thoughts that had occupied much of her morning. The chill on the wind brought the tidings of Cylus, and the sun hid behind clouds as if to prepare them all for its coming absence. She hadn't noticed through its veil how high it...
Dan studied the harrow he'd been assigned to use. It was a wide grid of nine wooden bars, with rows of wooden fingers jutting down like a giant rake. Each finger was held to its bar by a tiny wooden peg that came in at the side and went through both bar and finger. He ran his hands...

All Cycle Long: Erosion uncovers hidden wealth While the torrential Saun rains of the previous season, combined with humidity had caused their share of damages to the settled areas along the Zynyx River and other places, the Stormwastes, now...
The carrots needed to be thinned out. The thing with carrots was that they had to be planted fairly close together in order to sprout well, but once they had been growing for a while, they needed more space in order to become the sort of...
For every berry that goes in your mouth, Dan reminded the settlers solumnly as they gathered around the blackberry thicket after lunch, knowing that there was no point at all in forbidding them eating the blackberries entirely, at least five need to go in the...
Dan considered the pouch of seed he'd been supplied with. It was flax , this time. (A few trials earlier it had been buckwheat) Flax was an all round useful plant that you could use for multiple different things. The stems could be processed into thread and cloth, the seeds could be...
Dan accepted his bowl of pea and mint soup from Agnes and glanced around the tables in the Hall. As far as he could tell, everyone was here this evening, which made it a good time to talk to everyone at once and arrange a few things in regard to living in Rosebay. The last of the...
The rain had finally stopped, the morning mist had cleared away, and the ground had dried enough to be workable.
Dan scrubbed the last of the breakfast dishes clean (He made sure to take his turn at all the tasks , it made everyone else more willing to do them too) and then went out...
The Hall
/gallery/image/22859/medium
At the heart of Rosebay stands the Hall, a long single story building with rammed earth walls, that have been limewashed inside and out for protection from weather and maximising the amount of light available, and a tiled roof. Inside it is a single space...
Once the home of a hermit and healer who kept an expansive garden of useful herbs and plants, the Herbalist's Hoard appears to have run wild in the decades since their death. The cave and its surrounding plants sits in the hills beyond Caervalle Town, three quarters hidden,...
There was a deer in one of the pit traps . Dan took a step back out of caution, and circled the pit, looking for a good place to strike. At least in the pit, he didn't have to worry about it charging him, only about getting it out afterwards.
Renfreud muttered as their footfalls landed on the wet mud of Zynyx market. The clayworks of the Market were busy, especially this season of rainy weather. Rakvald didn't seem to remember it raining so much during Saun...
While a fruit picking trial was, in fact, necessary for survival (No one wanted to go hungry through the cold seasons, or to have too little fruit to fend off scurvy) it was also something of a treat and a holiday. A fun day out, together, without quite such...
