Night Falls on Yensid - Jaunt Info

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?

Keeping a pet as a Forest Folk is Really Damn Weird and would definitely get you looked at funny--there would also be concerns that the "pet" is actually someone who went feral, which would be considered potentially dangerous. But they could pass as pets for humans or Stonefolk with no problems!

So no Mothman shenanigans. Got it. :)

Out of curiosity, would there be insect-type Forest Folk?

There are no insect-type Forest Folk! Or else I would've been all over that.

...and actually, keeping bugs as pets wouldn't be weird as hell for them like keeping birds or small mammals would be, so if you really want bug-pet shenanigans...8D

What kind of pets do Stonefolk usually have? Anything particularly good for a baby dragon to be?

Some kind of cave lizard, snake, large insect, or bat would work!

Cave lizard sounds great!
