These are the recent happenings in and about Crinos that may be of interest. Some of this may be IC, some OOC, and the distinctions should be obvious. :) Generally, most recent happenings are listed first. Think of this as a loosely-organized and vaguely updated bulletin board. If you have anything you want to add here, just email or +mail@AmberMUSH it to me, with a note indicating what it's for.

NOTE: Yes, this is woefully out of date. It's a historical reference at this point, alas. Some day it may be updated.

Brusticai Ses'Reidla dies! (SteamCharger) Tue Feb 13

Several days ago the Ses'Reidla, Kilika Three-Eyes, fell in combat. She had nearly eclipsed the old record of forty-seven accepted challenges, a holy number of the Brusticai from tales passed down from so long ago that the Ses'Reidla's name who set the mark has long been forgotten. Kilika lasted forty-four. The new Ses'Reidla is a painfully young, skimpy, but tough mare, named Flankchaser. From the wounds she had suffered in the challenge there is a chance she may not live, which has brought up serious rumors of war and fresh challenges. The plains in fact are scene to many bloody skimishes between SteamCharger's herd and several smaller ones, as he is the only Reidla to support the new Ses'Reidla so far. Questions, comments, RP! direct to me via +mail.

Rainfire's Venator return (Lilia) Wed Feb 7

An odd caravan made its way from the shadowpath in the mountains to the Venator village -- of the 48 Venator that Rainfire took away to fight in the battle in her far-away land, 30 returned, leading three covered wagons, from which the clink of metal could be heard as the wagons travelled. Sadly, the returning Venator also bore the bodies of their fallen -- 4 in number. 14 of the Venator Rainfire left with have decided to stay with her, at least for now. The returning Venator bring back many stories of their bravery in battle, and the stories of the lands they've travelled to -- most notably Anthuran, where they fought. They also bear proudly the weapons and armor they brought back, metal swords, axes, knives; and piecemail chain and scale armor.

Brusticai Challenges (SteamCharger) Thu Jan 25

The rumors of challenges to the Brusticai's dominant herdleader, the Ses' Reidla, have begun to fill out as the Moot ends. Kilika Three-Eyes apparently, according to the stories so far, defeated seventeen challengers, seven in one day (although this may be slightly exaggerated, as all these combats took place deep in the private confines of the Brusticai camps). Several of these were herd leaders - Lionhunter and Rilao Mare-Born notable warriors that fell; only two survived to be crippled and cast out into the wilds; their bloodied hulks were found a short distance from the Tear. They had killed themselves. The challenges are far from over, though, with a dozen combatants ready to test themselves after the herds make their way back to the plains. The weary Ses'Reidla has had her hands full with controlling the two leaderless herds she has created. Strangely enough, one of the most obvious candiates in challengers was Steamcharger, but he has apparently decided to hold his position as the leader of one of the largest herds, despite pressure to present himself to Kilika for combat. When asked for why he is not taking the opportunity.. he characteristically snorts and does not volunteer a response.

Moot's End (Luna) Wed Jan 24

Well, the moot's ended on an optimistic note. The first Council of Tribes formed from the Moot council. The tribes that are officially members of the Council are Tenebrae, Venator, Terfin, Kei, Aeolae, Ursum, Brusticai, Mervain, Ekli'in, Deicus, and Harcolin. Those Verdimm who comprised the Moot council formed the Council of Tribes thusly: Every tribe that is a member of the Council shall have one Voice for the Council, in matters of tribes, there must be a majority of two Voices agreed to every one opposed (a 2/3 majority), for the Council to take action. Four heralds were chosen to take word of what was decided in the Council to those tribes who were not present at the final stages. The Moot itself is breaking up, most tribes going home to their lands. Many thanks to everyone who participated! If I get enough tylenol, we might do it again sometime! :)

Lilia visits Venator (Lilia) Sat Jan 20

A visitor to the Venator village caused quite a stir -- word made its way quickly to the Moot that Rainfire had returned to the Village, while Bearfist was away -- in a strange and new dimoh form -- and had again taken nearly fifty Venator away to do battle in a far-away land. Bearfist's reply to this news is unprintable.
