Quick Start

Welcome to HRW! This page is designed to sum up basic useful information about the area. Amendments and additions welcome!

Recent Events

Niahvth has risen - nearly a turn earlier than anticipated - to claim the Weyrleadership, and now Roszadyth has risen early, too. Despite the abbreviated length of Niahvth's flight, she clutched a full fifteen. What's up with High Reaches' queens, and is it going to keep happening? (PoC: Irianke, Farideh, HRWAdmin)
K'del was stabbed during Niahvth's flight. Does someone have something against him, or was it coincidence? What about the rest of Greenfields' troubles; is it targeted against that particular hold, instead? (PoC: HRWAdmin, Jo)
The herders have decided not to allow apprentices to be Searched. Is this the first in a trend? Will the Holds follow? (PoC: HRWAdmin)
... and now official word is that the Weyr will not Search at Tillek. With two clutches on the way, is this even wise? (PoC: HRWAdmin, K'del, Irianke)

The Area

High Reaches has a climate roughly similar to Whistler, Canada - long, relatively cold winters, and nice-but-not-hot summers.
People dress accordingly (more details here).
There are a number of holds in our coverage area.
People get paid according to these rates (which aren't much - the Weyr feeds and clothes her residents, so pay is really for extras).

IC Leadership

Since Niahvth's flight, High Reaches' confirmed Weyrleaders are Irianke and K'del.

More details are available here.

OOC Leadership

High Reaches has a separation of IC and OOC leadership. Characters with IC rank do not necessarily have any more of an OOC leadership role than any other player.

The OOC admin team is presently: K'del and Leova.

To contact the admin team, feel free to page any member, +mail hrwadmin or send email to admins@hrweyr.net.

Getting RP

Ways of getting RP include: sitting in public, asking on channel, paging a person in particular, and so on. All of these ways are valid.
This said, please be mindful that asking for RP on channel several times in quick succession can be frustrating to other players. Be patient!
Please be conscious of other people's feelings. Attempting to guilt another player into playing with you is not cool; it is harassment.
As a general rule, if a person is sitting in public, they're looking for RP. While sometimes you may not be interested in playing with that person at a given time (you've played with them recently, for example), asking for RP on channel, or going to sit in public somewhere else, can come across as rude.
Don't just sit around waiting to be asked! While many players will ask, it is not anyone else's responsibility to get RP for you.

The Wiki

This wiki is a repository of all things HRW: character pages, logs, dragons, history, help guides, etc, etc. All players are encouraged to use it, though contributing is not mandatory. In order to add your own content, you'll need a login-- +mail K'del with a valid email address to be set up.

The Forum

High Reaches also has a forum, which is used for weyr-wide discussion and sharing of ideas. You can sign up for your own account.

Conclusion

When in doubt, please don't hesitate to ask!

-== Overview ==
+== Recent Events ==
-We're a small but friendly group who put a lot of emphasis on ongoing plots (both personal and on a bigger, more political scale) and developing interesting and engaging characters. High Reaches has an ICly pretty checkered history that means people often expect the worst; things are relatively calm ''inside'' the Weyr for once, at the moment... but not so much ''outside''. And who knows how long ''that'' will last!
+* Niahvth has risen - nearly a turn earlier than anticipated - to claim the Weyrleadership, and now Roszadyth has risen early, too. Despite the abbreviated length of Niahvth's flight, she clutched a full ''fifteen''. What's up with High Reaches' queens, and is it going to keep happening? (PoC: Irianke, Farideh, HRWAdmin)
+* K'del was ''stabbed'' during Niahvth's flight. Does someone have something against him, or was it coincidence? What about the rest of Greenfields' troubles; is it targeted against that particular hold, instead? (PoC: HRWAdmin, Jo)

-Hraedhyth's flight brought (hopefully) to an end a long period of instability and Acting Leadership that can - in retrospect - be traced back as far as the ousting of former Weyrwoman [[Tiriana]], in Turn 28. In the intervening turns, there were a number of leadership teams:

-== Recent History ==
-A broad overview of major plots can be found [[:Category:Plot_Logs|here]].
-A timeline is available [http://norcon.genesismuds.com/timeline/index.php?sort=hrw here].
-== Current Plots ==
-* [[:Category:A Crisis Of Succession Logs|A Crisis Of Succession]] - Month 7, Turn 32 - Present
-:At eighty-five no one expected Lord Ustelan of Nabol to live for terribly much longer; the only real hope was that he would officially name an heir before he died. Instead, his wife went missing - with rumours of a pregnancy, and proof of an acknowledged heir-to-be-born - and, following his death, chaos ensued, with several claimants to the Hold unwilling to back down. With the harvest soon to come in, and no easy resolution in sight, there's every chance the Weyr will get drawn into this, too.
-:Character ideas for getting involved in this:
-:* Nabolese refugees;
-:* Characters with family ties to Nabol;
-:* Have a look at the [[Hooks]] page;
-:* Or something else entirely! Please ask if you need further ideas!
-If you have any idea for a plot, please feel free to approach the admin team with it - we love to hear ideas! Personal plots are also most welcome.
-== Help With Character Development ==
-* If you need a sounding board for your character development, the admin team is more than happy to help!
-* Equally, do feel free to ask around to see if there's anyone who has an appropriate character to have existing backstory with yours.
