September Adventure: Rain Comes

[lifeaftr_mods]

NEW ISLAND: NUIDAN

Who: Everyone!
What: Nuidan appears, and a new adventure begins
When: September 10th and onward
Where: Nuidan
Warnings: Tag as you go!

Reseed the Meadow So the Cows Don't Starve
As of September 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Nuidan.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square. The temple is situated in an oasis-like backdrop of amber-colored sands circled with overhanging palm trees. From the island's center, the four corners of the island and its fixed seasonal shifts are more than obvious: to the north, the rainfall-soaked meadows of spring; to the east, the thick clusters of the trees of autumn; to the south, the snow-capped mountains of winter; and to the west, the warm summer sands and pleasant heat.

And inside the temple? The avatar of the island Nuidan is waiting.

There are no additional requirements?

(They know how to water and feed things but some plants only do well in certain types of soil and some animals require special care.

Then again, perhaps the "magical" nature of these islands ensure that such things are not a concern.)

[thankgods]

You would have to be more specific as to which you are talking about. Different plants require different things! Different animals, too, require different things.

I can't be expected to simply give you a list on short notice.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(They bring out their omnitool and display a picture of the wintergreen they found.)

We discovered this while searching the "winter" area.

[thankgods]

Hmm. Wintergreen. Grows better in cooler environments. Obviously, yes? Obviously. Grows best in pines and hardwood forests. Soil rich in acid, yes.

But - sun! It favors the sun, as well. Just because it's hardy in the cold doesn't mean it's only ever one for it.

[forwearemany]

Use?

[thankgods]

Food, oil, flavor...and it smells wonderful, I'm sure. Very good for sprucing a dusty place up.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged. If transplanted to the island of Enso, would it be capable of growing in such a location?

(Island accessibility seems to be temporary: relocation of resources may not be of immediate priority, but is an important consideration.)

[thankgods]

Oh, certainly. Certainly, yes! I can't imagine it wouldn't. Just grow it someplace where it will access plenty of sun, and trees, yes, very important. The acid-rich soil is best for wintergreen, as it happens.

But they do grow very nicely in the cold, don't they?

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(The ones growing in winter did seem very healthy.)

Thank you.

[thankgods]

Not a crop sort of plant, but a useful one, I should think. Very useful.

Anything else?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(Perhaps they will attempt to transplant some.)

Negative.

(For now at least.)

[thankgods]

Wonderful. Excellent. Very, very good.

[No, it's not sarcasm; they genuinely sound pleased about this.]

That's one thing sorted!

[forwearemany]

(Legion would not pick it up even if it was.)

Acknowledged.

[thankgods]

What else? Anything else? Was that all?

[They really don't ever stop for a minute.]

[forwearemany]

We have no other requests at this time.

[thankgods]

Very good. Very, very good. Very to the point! Now, if you'll excuse me...

[They, ah. Have to get back to work.]

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(They turn to leave as well.)
