            • The eggs are here! Queen Flaireth's long-awaited clutch has finally arrived, blessing the Weyr with an Impressive twenty-seven eggs, plus a gold queen egg! Who will be the lucky ones to Impress? Can this clutch bring hope to the recently relocated Weyr? And, the question on everyone's mind, who will be Storm Fires' newest Weyrwoman? Place your bets now, for it's sure to be an interesting Hatching!

            • Despite the joyful atmosphere borne out of Flaireth's clutch, there seems to be some tension in the air as both Minerva and N'varro struggle to deal with the unpleasant outcome of the flight they shared together. Will Minerva's loss of her virginity during the flight continue to plague her, and can N'varro accept the fact that he was not to blame? Will anything come of the blossoming relationship between Minerva and A'drov? Only time will tell.

            • RISING DAWN WEYR IS UNDER ATTACK! In the dead of night, a fleet of pirate ships ambushed the coastal Weyr, set rampant fires loose on the mainland, and killed and captured dozens of dragonriders. As keen after mournful keen went up from the surviving dragons, wingleaders struggled to pull together an organized defense. Thankfully, Weyrleader M'tello of Storm Fires brought his wings to the aid of his sister Weyr. But the death toll climbed into the dozens, claiming the lives of many dearly beloved, including Weyrwoman Anlyn, Bronzerider Mik'l, and Bluerider A'idan. Not only this, but the extent of the damage has forced Rising Dawn to close down! Will Storm Fires be able to house the riders of their sister Weyr as Rising Dawn once did for them, or will they be unable to squeeze so many extra riders into their new WeyrHold?

            • After losing her beloved weyrmate, Mik'l, during the pirate attack at Rising Dawn, Weyrwoman Ysara has decided to seek out a new start in the North at Ista Weyr, where she will be transferring with her mother. We wish her all the best in the life she finds there.

            • Fortunately, it would seem that not all bad came of the attack of the pirates on Rising Dawn Weyr. In the midst of the assault, Cr'tiano discovered a baby girl that had been abandoned by her pirate mother. Can the bronze rider balance his responsibilities as Weyrlingmaster with his new responsibility to little Rebekkah, or will the unexpected burden of fatherhood force him to give the child up?

            • Cr'tiano isn't the only new parent around! Jami's twins have finally made their appearance--but a month too early! The little boy, Mason, made it into the world with ease, but his sister AnnaMarie came out feet first with the umbilical cord around her neck. Thankfully both the twins and the mother survived this difficult birth, but will the complications have long-term effects on the mother or her children? In any case, Jami certainly hasn't wasted any time showing off her tiny darlings to the Weyr!

            • Storm Fires Weyr is losing yet another of its queenriders. After Kohen Weyr's Senior Weyrwoman retired, the only other active goldrider was severely injured, resulting in a dire need for goldriders there. Weyrwoman Leda is being sent North to help Kohen, leaving behind Storm Fires. Will Minerva be able to handle the added responsibility of being Jami's Weyrwoman Second? And how will she deal with being the Senior Weyrwoman of Rising Dawn when it eventually reopens?

            • The Weyr's Searchdragons have sure been busy bringing in candidates, and all relatives of dragonriders no less! First Rising Dawn Bronzerider C'don's brother Daemon decided to stand for Storm Fires instead of Kohen, and only a few days later three of A'drov's nieces were chosen by Tiana's Kimegeth as candidates! The riders of Storm Fires welcome Daemon, Jolie, Lieyona, and Ranela and wish them all the best of luck on the sands!

            • Whatever Bluerider Merris expected to find on her night sweep rides, it definitely wasn't a holdless girl playing pipes in a hidden cave! Was it coincidence that drew Merris' Philenth to this strange girl named Luna, or does the Weyr lie in her future?

            • Can it possibly be that L'tren and E'lem are finally expressing their true feelings for one another? Anyone who has known these two since childhood knows that they have long been in denial about their emotions. Now that they have finally found some sort of level ground, E'lem is asking L'tren to make their relationship exclusive. But is L'tren ready for the implications that such an exclusive status would have, or will this move by E'lem drive him further away? Can their friendship survive the strain of these challenges? Most importantly, how much longer can this denial continue before something has to give?

            • There is still more romance to be found in the air at the Weyr! After some time of courting and expressing his feelings for Kylia, C'don has finally worked up the courage to ask her to become his weyrmate. To his profound delight, she said yes! The Weyr wishes them both the best of luck as they develop their life together as weyrmates.

            • There's no place like home! After four Turns living in the North, Weyr Harper Filin and his weyrmate, Bluerider Elili, have finally returned home to Storm Fires Weyr. In the Turns of their absence, the couple have added a new face to their family, their little son Felinis. The family will surely have their hands full settling in, but Storm Fires is happy to welcome them back.
