O-gon-cho, how does this work? The Dragons follow you, and the riders follow others. What happens when there is conflict between different riders' deities? What happens when AK begins Destroying Eiran? Obviously, those of us who do not want Eiran Destroyed will oppose him. Will your Dragons fight each other because their riders wish to fight each other?O-gon-cho wrote:
20 golden queens are in clutch, each producing somewhere between 30 and 60 eggs! The eggs will harden during this turn, and I expect the Hatching to occur with the onset of Fall! As it will occur during the season of Hedra Iren, I request she smile kindly upon this momentous event.
As the eggs Hatch, the hatchlings will be most susceptable to being Impressed, connecting telepathically lifelong to a Rider. I hereby throw open the Hatching and Impression ceremonies to followers of the entire Pantheon, only seeking your good will in return.
If you are interested in the Impression ceremony, please hand select candidates to present themselves at Zandarar a month before for training on how to conduct oneself during a Hatching, so they do not get accidently mauled by a hatchling desperately seeking their Rider. I am thinking a total of 5-10 candidates from each of my brethren should be manageable. However, be forewarned that weyrling and Rider training takes three full years. Before that, the weyrling is too weak to carry a Rider very far, and both are too inexperienced to handle the wind currents.
Once notified of the candidates, I will send out the by then graduating weyrling class to transport the candidates to Zandarar. Be sure they are of stout heart, this class of new adults are swift creatures! All candidates who do not Impress will be returned the same way, unless they make an appeal to be allowed to find a non-Rider position in the weyr. Then, they will be encouraged to contact their prophet, and enquire what the will of their deity is for them to do.
Impression will not be subject to outside influence, not even mine! The choice of a Rider will be governed only by the Will and Freedom of the Hatchlings! If you agree to these terms, I look forward to having Raucous welcome your cadidates to Zandarar in two months time.

A good question, m'l-rd.O-gon-cho wrote::::out of character:::
Gotta run! Beorn has the honor of carrying the Torah before and after the Reading today at services...
I was wondering the same thing.Mithyaat Vam wrote:

Bhakti wrote:Ah. So then if a Dragon chooses a rider of another deity, the rider and Dragon will live with that other deity's followers. Interesting.
You're interpretation is right on the money, m'l-rd. But, and I want sister Jove to pay attention as well if she is submitting her Prophet, this is after the weyrling training. Keep in mind this takes 3 years (a/k/a 12 Turns). The weyrlings aren't strong enough to fly their Rider, nor taught of the various ways to fly the currents safely, before then. Jove wrote:I think I may have asked you this before but do the dragons like treasure?
If so, I may be of some help in this matter.
You have asked me this before, m'lady, and I have given some thought on the matter. My dragons who live in Zandarar do not seem to feel this intense desire to locate and hoarde treasure, but I have heard of such. Perhaps these creatures are those who do not Impress and who choose to not live in a weyr. In that case, I can see the attraction to treasure obsessing them Bhakti wrote:

Let us know of your success, so we can celebrate appropriately! And thank you for your help, Mithyaat, in casting Pourzoleh back whence he came! (Although it was not a complete successmy brothers and sisters! are you not pleased with my success?
, your help was invaluable)My sister, we can discuss it privately. I'm sure that we will find an agreementJove wrote:Brother Argothoth,Argothoth claims Queeaqueg and The Necropolis; shortly afterwards, however, Jove's power creates a tornado around the island of The Necropolis, and a golden star rises above it, obscuring it from divine sight.
I am indeed sorry about this. I heard no argument against taking Necropolis and so I assumed that it was safe to take.
Please, let us discuss our options on this matter. I am confident we can come to an agreement.

God of the Dead, your continued actions on Khenstorn are beginning to anger me. When you sent your Prophet and your settlers on our continent - without even bothering to ask for permission, or even to ask whether the land you wanted to reach was claimed by one of the Khenstorn deities, I might add - my Prophet met yours face to face, and delivered you a warning.
Rather than listening to the warning, your Prophet initiated further actions, culminating in your empowering of the Spire he has raised, so that an area of Khenstorn in the land I have claimed is now blanketed by your power.
Perhaps you believe to be in the right, and that therefore you should answer to no one. But I warn you once more: retire from Khenstorn, destroy the Spire, remove your power from my lands and apologize for your intrusion, or I will become the enemy you think I might be.
Other gods know I am not anyone's enemy; but your actions are tantamount to a provocation and an attack, and I will not let that pass.
I also ask the God of Justice to give a ruling on the matter. Here is the situation: the God of Death has sent his Prophet and settlers to my lands in Khenstorn, without asking permission to me, Argothoth, Nor Yekith or Chisi La'Roo, and without asking whether the land he intended to claim was already claimed by one of these four deities.
He was warned by my Prophet to leave at once; instead, his Prophet and settlers built a stone spire, and the God of Death imbued it with power so that a portion of my land is now invisible to my eyes.
God of Justice, I require a ruling: is the God of Death acting according to Justice?
Ponder this question carefully: for if you agree with him that his actions were fair, then Justice demands that you similarly accept that any of my people settling in the God of Death's lands - with or without his permission - would similarly be protected by you.
Forgive me, Brother, but I must disagree. As I said, such a thing has not even been discussed. Certainly, nothing we might consider a Law on this topic has been made. Nor (that's nor, not Nor) has your Wife attempted to unilaterally establish one. I believe Vadhaka has the best advice at this point. If Maeror and Melirelle cannot come to a satisfactory arrangement, perhaps we can fine a way to rule on it. Both have asked for the Pantheon's opinions, after all. Then perhaps we can have Hedra Iren write it into her Book.Simjen wrote:I believe Melirelle has the right of it.
However, I think judgement should be made by Hedra Iren. Let her consider Melirelle's claim and Maeror's apology.
True enough. Although I have heard of ruling bodies the same size as the Pantheon ruling by a majority vote, I agree that it would be nice to have a different solution.Simjen wrote:My comment stands. If a ruling is needed, i.e., Maeror and Melirelle do not resolve it between themselves, it should be a ruling of law, and we are too few for our opinion to count as such.
Agreed. But I wasn't suggesting that. I'm just saying that, if Hedra has the authority to say I have broken a Law, I would like to know what the Laws are beforehand.Simjen wrote:If something needs to be written into the book, we can do so afterwards. If we did so now, at best Maeror would face an ex post facto situation.
