High above the realm of Triskele, the green dragoness perched atop the library at the dragons temple, reflecting over the past few days.
The Dark Queen's dragon, her old friend from Everwind, by royal decree had been given the title of Dark Lord. Yet he hadn't much time to familiarize himself with all the changes that had happened in the realm since he had left. She had only seen him on a couple occassions and not for long so she was sure he did not know many of the other dragons. He had yet to do any quests, though she wondered if he was going to have time now.
The Dark Queen had told her that the dragon and her had been the ones responsible for the destruction of FoxHolt... because of some slight. Malakyte knew that he would fill the role of Dark Lord very well, but she wondered if the ancient was so loyal to the Drow, how much loyalty he would give to the dragons of the realm.
On a more joyful note, Cora, the only full cleric of Thuban had been made Divine Emissary by order of Queen Leanne. Malakyte was very proud of Cora and she had no doubt that the white dragon could do the job well enough. She could rest assured that the clerics were in very capable hands.
For a moment she thought of Alphonsus and Wren and wondered where they were. She hoped they would visit sometime if only to see the growth of the Guild they helped to establish.

Sifting through the ashes
Malakyte carefully stepped over the still smoking ruins of the keep. Everywhere she looked she saw destruction. Even the stones were burned. There was no doubt about it, the only thing that could wreck such complete destruction was dragon fire.
She sighed and once more turned to the northeast, to the dark land in the distance. Would her old friend have changed so much? What had happened in the years since Everwind?
She sniffed the air once more, hoping to get a hint of who might have done this. She did not like jumping to conclusions, especially such obvious conclusions. The farm had been right at the very entrance to the dark realm. Sighing at the only scents, brimstone, ashes and death, she shook her head. No clues there.
The questions remained. Did she have a rogue among the dragons, could this be the work of some new unknown dragon or was this something done at the instigation of the dark queen, the mate of her old friend? She wanted to be absolutely certain before taking any action.
For a long time she watched the shadows of the clouds as they slid over the distant island. It seemed the only way was to ask for herself.

Dragons of Triskele Calander...kinda
I guess it didnt work...
Hmm i had not meant this to be an update really but since i am here....
Both Water and Earth Quests are now set up and in the realm and i am having a great time building items for them. Its also fun to contact various people to participate by wearing or possessing the items. So far there are 2 items set out without people to guard them but they are in out of the way places that would be hard to find. Of course i am keeping track of who has what and where it all is.
I wonder if the pleasure i am getting out of this could be applied to some sort of job skill?
The next quests to consider are for air and fire. I need to get a race/obsticale course set up for the dragons to practice on. I wonder if i could build it myself?
I also need to work on my own groups, including the dragon group.
Hobbit i did post on your journal suggesting you look into the Adventurer's guild but im still considered a spammer there. *Laughs*
The other project to work on is sorting out new leaders for the dragons. Pak has given his oath as Mystic of the Stars. Now i need to find reliable dragons to be the Elders for the Sun and Moon.
I am also working on a notecard for a class called "We are Dragons". This will be a class about expanding the role of dragons in personal role-play. I have been doing the flight and combat class for beginners, but its time to start a more advanced class. I also need to figure out some things to give out as rewards. For the higher level dragons i do want to give out the dragon translator, but i want rewards for the dragons taking the quests, as well as for those assisting in the quests.
Suggestions are welcomed.

Another OOC post
Do you ever feel like you just have to say something?
That is me right now.
So many things seem not to be going right at the moment. That wonderful site we had, the quest site is now gone. The person left the realm and is selling the land. Now i wonder if i should bother looking for such a site. I doubt i will find such a great deal again.
Also it seems some of the magic has gone out of the realm with the departure of my Everwind friends, Alphonsus and Wren. Perhaps i might see them from time to time but i doubt that role-playing in second life will ever be the same.
The last thing was in the form of a realization of sorts though perhaps a bit hard to say exactly. I do enjoy the role of Regent of Dragons, even though i never asked for the part. But i do find that i am less in character and most of my interactions are actually out of character except for the small talk.. greetings and such.. Beyond that i am not role-playing anymore.
I wonder if that is what happens to everyone who becomes a leader? My character is definitely not growing.. and at times i even find myself avoiding role-play. I don't really know what thats about.
And i wonder, should i be taking this so seriously? Does anyone really care? For that matter does anyone even read this anymore?
*******************
Anyway i guess things must go on.. i should go ahead and start the dragon quests anyway even if i don't have as many items as i want... and i have no idea where i will put the 200 prim object. *sighs* That was to go on the quest site. Though very beautiful perhaps it will never be used now.
I need to also just promote people. I really wanted to have the quests set up and in place for that so they will have a chance to do the quests before taking any leadership roles. But considering all the real life pressures i am having to stay out of world perhaps its time to give the responsibility away, regardless of the experience. I just don't know anymore.. I wanted things to be just right but at the rate things are going, at the moment it feels like they never will be.
Maybe its time to start investigating and actually role-playing in other realms. I did have the opportunity to do that tonight and i passed it up.

Warriors Quest
The other week the warriors quest took place. It went fairly well though as i feared it ran much later than anticipated. Part of it was the roleplay leading up to the quest. Things were not worked out well. How my character found out where Sierra took the spear was one thing that had not been worked out. I assumed i would have been there when it was taken and i was not. I assumed there would have been a witness and there was not. The only in character reason i knew it was Sierra at all was that i could say i caught his scent.The next thing is that no matter how hard we work and plan, someone is going to do something unexpected. *laughs* I think i have heard that regarding role-playing before. I suppose a quiet ooc whisper might have done the trick without anyone having to go OOC in frustration.
I dont think much of the quest site was used for this.. but i guess it was enough.. The warriors got through it quickly with a minimum of booby traps being activated.. A good thing in that they could get through the quest fast after the delay, a bad thing in that no one really had time to appreciate all the hard work that had been done. Its too bad we had to rush is all. Still the quest site is for many quests, not just this one. I am sure that as we play we can refine things so they go better.
I must thank the people that assisted. Sierra and Ureria, for creating this wonderful site. Angela, Cora and Pak for assisting in the role-play. I am still reading logs and sorting out what sort of promotions the dragons will be getting. I also need to figure out if there is a reward i can give the builders. I know i want to get a language translator.. that will go to the dragon knights or perhaps those who finish all their quests, but what else can i give to show my gratitude. Hmm.. perhaps a painting.

An auspicious meeting
This morning i was talking to a certain builder i had met previously. She is very talented in the creation of beautiful things and has agreed to the creation of a quest site upon her land. She has already built the structures necessary and also agreed to allow combat. This is perfect since to get to the location one has to pass by either side of the drow mountain on foot or sail there by sea. Of course dragons can simply fly there.
While talking to her a certain curious orb happened by. I will not say its name to preserve its privacy but i am reasonably certain it was a Linden. It was very curious about the realm and i gave it as much information as i could. I believe that visitors are welcomed in the realm though i told it that if it takes biped form it should wear medieval clothes. Considering its suspected identity i do not think the king and queen would have any objections to its visiting.
A little later a good friend of mine who is a talented scripter came online and i introduced him to the builder. They seemed to get along right away and i left them deep in discussion about the site.
I love introducing talented people to each other and have a very good feeling about this.
In other news the rules committee is plowing ahead and soon we will have a complete set of commonsense rules for the realm that covers more than what they did before. Tonight is a clerics meeting which i am looking forward to also. There is much work to be done.
