| With summer in full swing, movement of herds is far easier now and there is, at least, positive news coming that a small number of new livestock will be reintroduced to the Weyr relatively soon. In the mean time, the weyrwomen, headwoman staff, and herders have worked closely with the kitchens in order to make sure there is still meat on the tables, however rationed. Each person will be restricted to a three ounce serving, irrelevant to age, size, or rank. Kitchen assistants will serve the meats from the buffet to make sure of this. Tillek has also sent an advance of their fall tithe in a shipment of seafood, particularly cod, late winter crustaceans, and prawn, being made aware of the situation. While relations are not particularly warm, this unsolicited gesture did come with a full tithe report and the understanding the fall tithes will be less. Some in the lower caverns have wondered and suggested that flight blooded beasts could be made fit for human consumption. These people have been pulled in as involuntary volunteers as herders seek to show-and-tell exactly what happens to those beasts after a flight. Skinned for the tanners, trimmed and butchered for infirmed and aging dragons who no longer can fell their own beasts. Some have even been delivered in a cart to the sands, to Niahvth's utter bafflement. Play points: The shortages continue, but there is an end in sight! In the mean time, there's meat rations and seafood! Also, if your character might have wondered about what happens to the flight meat, feel free to have been educated by the herders (and/or page me with questions as to what might have happened on such a tour of duty). Also, wasn't that nice of Tillek? |
