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
- 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!
