HRW:Quick Start

Quick Start

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

Recent Events

• Lady Issedi of HRH murdered. Perp caught and exiled to hard labor. (PoC: Devaki, hrwadmin)
• Irianke of Igen arrives as a temporary transfer with a gold that's going to go up soon. (PoC: Irianke)
• A global wheat shortage is causing bakers to do interesting things with food and a rationing of all wheat-based liquors. (PoC: Rose)
• Two golds have died at High Reaches in the last year due to accidents. Were they really accidents? (PoC: hrwadmin)

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 of High Reaches 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

As of Day 28, Month 12, Turn 34, High Reaches' leaders are K'del and Azaylia,

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.

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!
