NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14

The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

Everyone takes care of everyone's kids, basically--round all the young'ins up into a group and take turns looking after them. It serves as a sort of schooling, though they don't take things quite so formally. When a Stonefolk gets old enough, it's not uncommon for them to apprentice with an adult they respect.

At what age to stonefolk usually start getting apprenticed? Do any ever choose not to get apprenticed, and if so, what do they usually do instead?

[powersthatair]

Usually when they're in their late teens/early 20's. If they don't get apprenticed, that's fine, and it's assumed they'll just find their own way in the world. As long as they're not just lying around doing nothing and refusing to help out around town, no one's going to have a problem with taking a little longer to find out what one wants to do in life.
