September News & Announcements

In the days since myself (our OOC leader / DM) and Saraghul (our IC tribe leader) have both returned from our respective vacations, the Qulaan tribe has been busy getting things moving forward on the roleplay front! We've redecorated our house, held our first tribal meeting, and we've got the ball rolling on our first mini-plotline as a tribe -- which will double as a test run of the Hunt System that I have developed for us to use!

So if you're interested in seeing what our merry band of misfit lizards has been up to since we last checked in, keep reading!

House Redecoration: The New Qulaan Iloh

Ahead of our first monthly IC meeting, Saraghul and I tackled the task of redecorating the Qulaan house. We've now turned our small Goblet house into a functional pair of yurts -- a main hall for meetings and a feasting hall for.. Well, that's fairly obvious! Below are a couple of screenshots, or you can come see it in person at the Goblet, Ward 10, Plot 1!

September Qulasar : Monthly Meeting & Social Gathering

In Qulaani lore, Qulasar is the name for the tribe's monthly celebration of the full moon. First off, this gathering serves as a meeting where important matters are brought before the tribe: decrees from the leaders, assignment and completion of trials, announcement of rank changes, and so forth. At the completion of official tribe business, Qulasar shifts into a social affair filled with feasting, drinking, and general merry-making.

This month marked the tribe's first gathering for Qulasar since their dissolution at the hand of the Garleans ten years prior. There were a handful of matters that Saraghul Khatun wished to bring before the tribe, including some changes to old traditions and the assignment of trials. When the meeting concluded, a feast of aldgoat hunted from the Thanalan desert followed into the early hours of the morning.

Logs from September Qulasar are available for all interested to read!

New Mini-Plotline : The Return to the Azim Steppe

In the aftermath of this month's Qulasar, it was decided that the Qulaan would begin their move from their place currently nestled in the Thanalan desert to their homeland, the Azim Steppe. In the suns since, the tribe has begun to trickle back across the ocean to Othard with their hearts and minds set upon the re-establishment of Qulaan Iloh near the trade hub and safe haven of Reunion.

Yet the tribe is soon to find out that their once glowing reputation upon the steppe has seemingly faded from the memories of many in their ten years of absence. Returning to their homeland as strangers with many among them bearing odd mannerisms and customs picked up from their lives lived in myriad corners of the globe, not all Xaela of the steppe are so ready to accept their presence.

Among those wary of the newly returned, ragtag tribe are the Qestir of Reunion, whose permission they must be granted in order to conduct direly needed trade. With no other options, the Qulaan must find a way to earn their trust -- with actions, rather than words.

This will be a mini-Hunt Arc plotline spanning the next 2-3 weeks meant to accomplish several things. First, this plot will help us flesh out our return to the Steppe without simply handwaving it as "it happened." Second, it will give us an opportunity to have a trial run of the Hunt Arc system that I plan to use during our actual 1-2 month long arcs. And finally, we want to use this as an opportunity to try and network with some other Xaela RPers on the steppe.

We will be starting the first event -- scouting a location for Qulaan Iloh to the north of Reunion -- within this upcoming week or weekend. So, if you're interested in hopping in with us as part of the tribe, or if you've got a Qestir or another Xaela with strong Reunion connections who is interested in participating in this mini-plot, please let us know and we can work you in as soon as we can!
