 quote:For a long time, we were at war with The Jackals. Now, finally, we've driven them off, and we're left with this: a year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to build our community up and learn again how to work together. Come Winter, the Frost Shepherds will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when it will end. But we don't know about that yet. What we know is that right now, in this moment, there is an opportunity to build something.
Who are we? We’re reindeer people in the snowy hinterlands. We hunt beasts and tend to our deer, we craft our cloaks and yurts of animal fur and drink the milk of our herd, and we live generously. Too generously, it seems. A fellow tribe here, the Jackals, asked for our aid not long ago, and betrayed us and shattered the bonds of friendship we offered. This blow to our dignity and our tribe was so severe that we called a council, erected the War Stake, and voted to go to war, to descend from the steppe we called home in a tide of vengeance and sweep away these vermin who wear the faces of men, who spit on our hospitality and kill and steal. We fell upon them, and ended the war they started. Now we inherit their land – an island in the middle of a crater lake, with strange idols and constructs. To the Northeast of their – our – island stand the Midwives, two stone giants who bring fertility through mystic means, or so the elders say. To the Southwest on the far shore is the Satellite Eyrie, a range of metal giants who play host to a vast number of birds of an enormous number of kinds. Here the old and the new come together and it seems that this year, anything could happen. quote:The Satellite Eyrie quote:The War Stake quote:The Midwives       How do I take my turn? First, you access the Roll20 tabletop and draw a card from the current season's deck. This will tell you to do something, often answer a question. In this custom variant, there are more than 13 cards per season. Treat the 13th card as the last one, ignoring the remaining cards in each season. Second, you resolve the oracle instructions, changing the map and performing actions as necessary. Third, you reduce the count of every Project by 1. When a Project reaches 0, it's finished – whoever started it describes how it ends. Projects that end prematurely due to the oracle's instructions are described by whoever drew the card. Fourth, you take your own action (unless the oracle says that you don't act this turn) – Start a Project, Discover Something New or Hold a Discussion:
Sixth, make a post in the following format: Season and Week Oracle question Resolution to Oracle question, with image if you used one Resolution to finished projects, if you started them Your action, with image if you used one Updated map Projects list (mark out Projects that reached 0 this turn with e.g. bold or sirens) Abundances list Scarcities list Contempt list Game Tips

Spring – Week 1quote:A place of strength is discovered. Where is it, and who finds it?  Action – Start a Project: We desperately need food. Many of the birds at the great eyrie will be nesting at this time of year, and will not miss a few score eggs.

Spring – Week 2quote:There's a large body of water on the map. Where is it? What does it look like? While there is much to this land we do not yet know, we are not without our secrets. We know of hidden caves in the northern mountains, quiet and cool and safe, invisible behind frozen waterfalls. And while we went to war, those caves sheltered our very, very young and our very, very old. Now it is safe. Now it is time to retrieve them.  Action – Start a Project: The inseparable Triplets volunteer for the task. They pack their deer with rope and sturdy wood. Not everyone in the caves can walk. Some will need to be pulled by sled or carried. Thankfully, the Triplets are very strong.

Spring - Week 3quote:There's another community somewhere on the map. Where are they? What sets them apart from you? Upon scaling the Satellite Eyrie, our foraging parties have reported white-clad figures skulking on all fours through the marshlands immediately to the west. A scout sent to investigate saw them flee into the tall grass to the south and could not follow, but heard "chirps and screeches" retreating through the thick foliage. The foraging party has taken to calling these figures the Ghost People.  Action - Hold a Discussion: A herder woman barged into the village assembly claiming to have observed portents in a dream. She claims that the stars have revealed to her that people the Triplets are due to retrieve from the hidden caves are not the people that we left in them, and that we risk disaster if we allow them to be brought into our midst.

Spring – Week 4quote:Someone new arrives. Who? This isn’t her first time on the island, and what little she says about that tells us that the Jackals were not the first people here, not by a long shot. Though she’s surprised – and, we can tell, disappointed – to see us here instead, she still offers us trade in barter. The only things she’s willing to give are stories and trinkets, though – not her full stock.  Action – Discover Something New: We haven’t yet opened every place the Jackals held here. Though much of their home was broken stone supporting lean-tos, there are a few well-hidden redoubts carved into the earth that the Jackals failed to reach under our assault. In one of these we find something out of place – a stone statue, smoother than a child’s skin, of a veiled woman. It doesn’t look like it belongs in the dismal hole we found it in. Asmaan refuses to go near it.

Spring – Week 5quote:An old piece of machinery is discovered, cursed and dangerous. How does the community destroy it. One of the children, Cayana, uncovers a strange container hidden in the ceiling of her new home. She doesn't have a word for "incubator," none of us do, but we all marvel at the warm eggs we find inside. At least until we crack one open. The resulting mess is foul-smelling and green and yolk-less. Unnatural. Strangely, almost every home seems to have one such machine tucked away in the ceiling. We smash all the eggs and let the children use the incubators as target practice. At night, our dreams improve.  Action – Start a Project: We have neighbors to the south. They startled us. Yet we, no doubt, frightened them, as well. Let us make amends (or at least friendly contact) before misunderstanding leads to conflict.

Spring - Week 6quote:A charismatic young girl tries to tempt many into sinful or dangerous activity. What does she do? How does the community respond? The elders' action is swift - the girl and her father are put on a boat with two weeks' rations and sent west of the crater. All fermented reindeer milk is then collected from family dwellings and placed in the care of the Triplets, who have taken an oath of abstinence from the drink. Access to the milk is restricted to ceremonial purposes only. The seasoned warriors grumble, as they've relied on the fermented milk to soften their nerves and their memories.  Action - Discover Something New Herders arrive from grazing their reindeer near the Midwives, shouting about great horned goats they saw drinking from the lake on the far shore. The elders are certain that these are descendants of goats spoken of in old stories regarding a tribe of shepherds in the mountains who have not been seen in many generations. The goats, the stories say, were prized for the quality of their milk.

Spring – Week 7quote:Our community considers one location sacred and we make regular pilgrimages to it. What is it? Mark it on the map. In Spring, for their wisdom on the coming year. In Summer, to reveal a bounty of the world. In Autumn, to reveal a mystery of the world. In Winter, to judge our conduct over the past year. In all the busyness of breaking with our traditions and slaughtering the Jackals, we failed to make the pilgrimage last Winter. Our ancestors may be angry – or understanding.  Action – Discover Something New: Asmaan disappeared for a few nights, leaving her steed behind, then returned on foot from the West. She doesn’t say why she went there or what she did when she met Arban and her father, if she met them at all, even after Larsa’s best intimidation.

Project completed: Our neighbors to the south are skittish and flee when approached. But Belek is patient. He sits atop his reindeer for many days, watching them and sketching them in his notebook. They are bugeaters, pitiful hunters of long centipedes and fat larvae. Limited as our own supplies may be, Belek still leaves small offerings of cheese and yoghurt; food which is mistrusted but nevertheless taken by the hungry people. He is pleased by this. It is a start!  Spring – Week 8 quote:Are there distinct family units in the community? If so, what family structures are common? Do men crawl out of acorns? Do women sprout up behind old wood like mushrooms? No. Each of us is born in the same way. Each of us, every person on this earth, is family. So we must be generous. Generous in gifts, in food, in love, in recognition of brotherhood and sisterhood and kinship. But we must be equally as harsh-- cruel even-- in the face of selfishness and betrayal. The world is too dangerous. To cast one's lot against the family of man is the ultimate sin.  Action – Start a project: Goat milk is inferior in all ways, yes, and goat cheese is even worse... but... it will be winter again before the migrating herds of reindeer return. We should catch some goats.   Projects: Catch some goats (2) Abundances: furs, eggs Scarcities: caution, dairy Contempt: UnCO3 (0), Tyrannosaurus (0), Basic Chunnel (0)

Action - Start a project While the crater lake provides a clear and formidable obstacle to those who might do us harm, the fact that we were able to dislodge the Jackals from this place proves that we do not live in total safety. The warriors who took this land have begun construction on three watch towers around the island.

Spring – Week 11quote:What resource is the most important to us? How do we protect it? Our reindeer carry us, feed us, warm us with their fur. And they ask so little in return. A watchful eye against predators. A helping hand with a difficult calves. And, when the time comes, a quick and painless death. They are not human. We do not think of them as family. But they are human enough to be of great comfort in times of distress.  Action – Start a Project: Grandmother Karakat has outlived several children, a few grandchildren, and even a couple husbands. She is nearly blind and can hardly walk. Yet when she says-- no, declares-- that she will make the pilgrimage north, no one argues. The Triplets eagerly take the chance to volunteer to be her escort. As it turns out, guarding reindeer milk is a dreadfully dull affair and they've grown quite bored with it. They quickly build Karakat a sled and then depart.

Spring - Week 12quote:What is the most beautiful thing in this area? Across the crater lake to the north, near where the folk have traditionally lived, a snow white reindeer roams wild. The beast carries profound dreams in its wake, and we are forbidden from approaching it - but every herder hopes that it will find its way to one of their cows (though now, obviously, the logistics of that scenario make it unlikely). When it is sighted across the water, the children gather at the shore to watch it until it returns to the trees.  Action - Discover Something New West of the crater, The Splayed Hands can be distantly seen. The strange and decrepit wire structure slowly spins on occasion, and judgments are divided as to whether it is the wind which animates it, or something else. The sharp-eared among the scouts claim to be able to hear its screeching protest from the western shore. Recently more than one night fisherman has claimed to see it light up, briefly.

Spring – Week 13quote:Are there children in your community? If there are, what is their role in the community? Second, the wisdom of children. Those who are not so caught up in the ways of the world already have a wisdom all of their own. Children are often silly, yes, but sometimes there are precious stones amidst the mess they speak. Other times… well, wisdom and madness are two sides of the same leaf.  Action – Start a Project: Our strange kin to the South continue to fascinate Belek. He tries to imitate their chirping calls out of curiosity. He sketches them from memory when he is idle. He sees them across the waters and in his dreams. Eventually the itch to make contact – to really speak with them – becomes too great to bear. There’s only so much you can say with meagre gifts of food, after all. He crosses the lake the next day, taking just a few others to help with his plans.

Summer – Week 1quote:Outsiders arrive in the area. How many? How are they greeted? We hear them first. In the distance. A distinctive, rhythmic tata-tata-tata-tata-tata. Finally, on the horizon, we see them. Faceless drummers wrapped in strange straw costumes. They do not answer us when we call out to them. They carry no weapons. No food. And their feet are bloody. As if they've walked for miles without stopping. They beat their drums and march forward towards us, towards us, into the water, up to their waists, up to their shoulders, their heads, they don't stop! They don't try to swim. They begin to drown. With a great cry, we rush out and pull their bodies up for air. We save as many as we can. They do not fight us. They do not speak. Who are they? What are they doing here?  Action – Start a Project: We place the drummers in a stone building and tie them to a sturdy pillar. We pull off their straw masks and see that they're human, at least. And they eat and drink when offered. But.. still they say nothing. Just stare ahead with blank eyes Perhaps, with time, they will recover their senses? Perhaps not. We shall see.

Summer – Week 2quote:A contingent within the community demand to be heard. Who are they? What are they asking for? The heat of the nascent summer has worsened the warriors' condition, to the point that they openly doubt even returning to the fermented milk would be of help. Moreover, they are starting to remember their dreams, and there is growing concern that they might spread. To contain their danger and give the warriors purpose, they are requesting to be exiled - to go into the wilderness where their vigilance and violence is not dissonant with daily life. There are 13 warriors, in all.  Action - Discover Something New Since the Splayed Hands began to flicker at night, scouts at the towers have also reported a general nighttime glow to the west. To allay fears, scouts were sent to investigate. They discovered a place that they called The Light Orchard - vast, precisely planted fields of limbless iron trees, each with two bright and cold torches affixed to their crown. The scouts did not tarry long - the light was so bright that they could not see the stars but for them, and this gave the feeling of both isolation and being watched. One older scout claims that this may have been a farm for the large metal insects whose shells we sometimes found on mountain paths, but no such husks were seen. They could not tell how far the Orchard went - it's possible it stretches the many kilometers to the Splayed Hands. For all we know, the Splayed Hands may have sprouted from that arid, tar-strewn soil.

Summer - Week 5quote:Spoilage in supplies threaten's the community's efforts. A project fails as people keep resources to maintain stocks. Belek has made significant, almost miraculous progress in advancing our relationship with the Ghost People, even managing to tour the strange, waterlogged huts of their village in the tall grass while the People mill about, seemingly unconcerned. He is coming to understand the significance of phrasing, of trills and glottal noises in rhythm. He is beginning to understand their meaning. As he leaves he's certain he recognizes key concepts - rock, reaction, dream, beneath. He goes through his collected journals, condenses and synthesizes his notes, flexes his vocal cords in strange ways to imitate Ghost Speech. In the new week he is due to return to their village and, at last, begin dialogue. The morning comes and a heavy fog has fallen over the marsh. The dwellings seem to have sunken, submerged. Belek, as seasoned a tracker as we have, determines that that the Ghost People - possibly all of them - fled suddenly to the south in the last week, to where the grass is taller and thicker, like a soft forest. Unfortunately, we had anticipated meeting the Ghost People, not chasing them. Belek desperately wants to pursue them but he doesn't have the manpower or resources to do so through difficult terrain with what he has. The village assembly denies him immediate approval of more resources, saying more discussion is needed before more warriors and hunters are sent away from home.  Action - Discover Something New: Belek, driven to anguish by his thwarted passion, did manage to leave his protesting party and went into the southern tall grass by himself. Some hours later he reappeared looking dazed. Most of what he spoke seemed to be of the Ghost People language that none of the others knew. According to their reports Belek told of what he called "Brothers", a brief description of three strange rock-metallic structures towering out of the high grass not far south of the submerged village. We have not been able to persuade him to repeat this information, or anything else he might have learned during his pursuit. Belek continues to forcefully insist that we find out what happened to the Ghost People. He also steadfastly refuses to sleep indoors.

The land has never been a gentle place, but this is a different sort of menace. We must redouble our efforts to regain the favor of the ancestors.

Summer – Week 10quote:A headstrong community member decides to put on of their ideas in motion. Liske starts digging a hole. No one asks why. Ráfi was the love of his life and grief so often dances in strange clothing.  Action – Discover something new: One of our riders finds Asmaan's strange steed and sets fire to it. The ensuing explosion lights up the night sky. It is beautiful and terrible, no doubt a sign of her great guilt. She'll be found soon, no doubt. And shot down like a lynx, if she's lucky. A quick death, if she's lucky.   Projects: Follow the drummers’ footsteps (0), Teach Khertek and Syed to ride (0), Find Asmaan (0), Travel to Point Theta Four Gamma (2), Dig a hole (5)Abundances: furs, eggs, dairy, able bodies, fear Scarcities: Contempt: UnCO3 (0), Tyrannosaurus (0), Basic Chunnel (0) Tyrannosaurus fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Mar 19, 2019 |
