Flurry 2005 Topic Festival of Lights Yeah, it's a bit vague, but what else is new? Christmas lights and decorations, Winter festivals, carnivals, etc... Be creative, have fun. One requirement, however: Snow. It's the big deal Winter Frenzy, yes? So naturally, there should be snow. If nothing else, there's snow at Nidus Ryslen. (My appologies to those of you who are in more summery climates...)

Rules "They aren't so much Rules as Guidelines..." Every page must be 100% done and up before you apply. I do not accept reserves. Groups containing more than three candidates will not be accepted. This is an overall number, so no trying to sneak in two candidates out of a group-story for fifteen... Candidate stories must follow the chosen Topic. Any candidate stories failing this requirement will not be accepted. Candidates do not have to be Pern related. Ryslen will accept Pernese, Alskyrian, Danachian, or anything else you can dream up. The candidate must be able to ride or fly with a dragon. Your page must be child-safe. If you wouldn't want your little sister or your grandmother to read it, chances are it won't be accepted. There must be a working link back to Ryslen. Please try to put "Nidus Ryslen" instead of "here." You will have two weeks to get your dragon up. If you fail, they will be abandoned. If this is not humanly possible for you, you must Email TyGryph before the time is up. You may not alter the images without permission. You must join the Mailing List! ( Click here to subscribe!) All notices, including hatchings, will be sent via this list! If you lose your dragon because you're not on this list, it's your own fault. I realize that many people are using the Nexus Forums these days, and I do as well, but in the off chance that the Forum dies somehow ("Torso takes silver!") I do want to be able to reach everyone regarding things at Ryslen (especially hatchings!) You must read the rules. Congrats! You're already ahead of the game! Please put a quote from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl in the comments box on your form. Extra credit if you can identify the quote in the previous rule. I understand that some people prefer to keep their weyrs/cathairs/caers traditional. If you prefer your candidate not impress an opposite gendered dragon, this Must be on your form. If it isn't, you have no right to complain when it happens. No Exceptions. If you'd like to name your own dragon, please put the name on the form. If you want to name your dragon, but still be surprised, put more than one name. Your names will not be taken and used for other dragons without your permission. Please be aware that putting a name on the form does not guarantee your dragon will have that name. There is a very strong chance that the dragons hatched will choose names that follow the naming rules of one or both of their parents. Please be aware of this. If you believe you have a valid reason for breaking one of these rules, please debate it with TyGryph via email or IM. As a scholar of philosopy, she'll greatly enjoy hearing (and refuting if necessary) your logic. If you break the rules, but haven't discussed with TyGryph, expect to pay the consequences.

Persons of note at Ryslen Prima Jeyann (Her Story) and Gold Mezireth Primus Ke'l (His Story) and Bronze Kalavanth Decurio D'lrik and Brown Aurekinth D'lirk is in his 50's now, and is very calm and controlled, even when younglings have done something very wrong. He is stern when he needs to be, but quick to encourage and commend those who need it most. Aurekinth keeps a watchful eye on candidates and 'lings alike from his ledge when not actively teaching. Headwoman Ikara Ikara is a cheerful woman in her late 40's who'd be rolly-polly if she wasn't constantly busy with one thing or another. Kind hearted, but stern when she needs to be. Custos Kerli and Green Sxoith Kerli is a reclusive, quiet woman. Sxoith is a bit nosy. The pair is suited well to watching who comes and goes from Ryslen. Custos Ke'li and Red Xhimboth Ke'li is son of Kerli, and half-brother of Ke'l -- shared father. Ke'li is a very helpful young man. Please note that Tiyanni is now retired. While she is still at Ryslen, she's probably chatting with the mothers on the sands or causing mischeif or something. Ryslen's Searchriders: You are more than welcome to use your own Searchers. Ryslen's are listed for your convenience. J'lenn on Blue Scith J'lenn is King of the Hidebound - cranky. Very cranky. Warning - He strongly dislikes non-human candidates, and non-pernese colored dragons. Late 40-ish. Totally and utterly married to Anthro Fox Raesa "Red", and loves his daughter Kitlyn "Kitsune" dearly. The xenophobic crabbiness is quite deeply ingrained. He'll eventually get over it and be more flexible and accepting, but don't hold your breath. D'run on Blue Okserth D'run is the fatherly type, looks for good in everyone. He's early 50-ish, weyrmated to Headwoman Ikara R'lan on Blue Ancith R'lan is the big brother type. Expect a bit of 'tough love' if necessary. He's 30-ish now, weyrmated to Greenrider Tylar. J'rin on Blue Amitath J'rin is a fun-loving joker, and Amitath is never wrong. Arguing with him is a bad idea... J'rin is about 30 and married to Greenrider Maiahn. (You can read his story here.) Minaeya (Min, for short) on Night-Green Auspexeth Min can see auras (read her story for details. Please note that she can not tell precisely what color a candidate will impress, unless they are strongly blue or green.), and Aussie has a very sensitive nose. Also they're Ryslen's first Female Searchers. Min is late 20ish, and single. Rrknz on Blue Chzarnth Rrknz is NOT human! Rrknz is a sweet-talking, courteous, and enthusiastic male Dgeth, a former ambassador. He's unbiased and clear-headed, but tends to take on more than he can handle--traits that his lifemate, the noble blue Chzarnth, mirrors. Rrknz is early-middle-aged, for a Dgeth, and a confirmed bachelor. (For more about the Dgeth and their discovery, see Trhrrn's story and Rrknz's story.) Toshi on Black Shouraith Toshi is a very determined young woman, and knows how to be diplomatic to get things done. Though she's a sister of Prima Jeyann, she never uses that for leverage. (Her Story) She's quite besotted with a bluerider from Cy Dragonstake, so she won't be flirting with anyone...
