jon & daeneyrs - nov return

[groundrules]

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay, just touching base here about Jon & Daenerys' return. Because of the timing, there isn't an explicit quest that's immediately available, since the two were hiatused over what ended up being one event & we'll have a player vote pretty substantive to the remainder of Arc IV over the next few days.

But if you'd like Jon and Daenerys to have been outside of Serthica during October — as a matter of preference or if this works better with justifying their absence — there's scope to say they were in the Sibilant Sands region after Cain d'Ubiq's initial assignment. There are a few things they can come back with from there:

— confirmation that the Sibilant Sands held a lot of dragon bones and some remains (mostly magical scales — though ideally they would not bring back more than a dozen scales between the two of them). The farther into the Sibilant Sands they travel, the more remains they can find, as long as they dare the sandstorms

— they can also notice the debris of Minaras-branded airships, shot down by dragons during the Eidris-Minaras conflict. Between this and the dragon remains, the Sibilant Sands were clearly the stage of a large-scale slaughter. The two factions were not kind to each other — as hinted but not fully disclosed by the intensely skitting, traumatised Cain

— they can find and bring back two abandoned, unhatched, seemingly fossilised dragon eggs, which any necromancer or life-sensitive character in the game can attest feel very alive. Drogon can help find the eggs buried deep in the sand and linger by them, if you need an excuse for why Daenerys and Jon would bring them back despite their state. (The eggs could help if we later have to bolster the Eidris dragon population)

Have a chat if you'd like to work with this, and aye/nay it here, please — thanks!

This sounds like a good idea to the both of us, so we'll go with it.

In the books, Dany is able to sense life in the eggs. Would it be okay if we keep that dragon magic?

[groundrules]

Let's go with, she can sense there's something alive there, but she wouldn't necessarily be able to tell how close the eggs are to hatching — if that sounds cool?

[thebrideoffire]

That's absolutely perfect and pretty much in line with the lore anyway. Thanks! She'll be a super protective dragon mama.

[groundrules]

Sure thing! Just a heads up, since the game vote wraps up on 9 November, and it will all hit the fan on the 10th — if you're planning to post anything about their return & the eggs, probably best to do it before that, or the Arc finale might bulldoze over!

Okay, getting stuff in now!
