[color=blue]Down at the water's edge, where the beach party gives way to the sea, you see a dock, kitted out with a little wooden boat. Waiting on the dock is a Pearlcatcher, but for a moment, you almost didn't see her against the water, sand and sunset.[/color]

[color=blue]"Hey!" She says, catching your eyes. "My name's Amara. Are you here to try out pearling?"
At your confused stare, Amara elaborates. "Pearls are a big deal, in the water flight. We use them for jewelry, as divination components, and just general ornaments. But it's a matter of luck, finding the right shells. Some water flighters have a knack for it; maybe it's how they express being a seer. But for the rest of us, it's just plain luck and circumstance. Though it sure is a lot of fun!"
"The elders in my clan say that the trick to understanding a problem, sometimes, is to ask others for help, see if they can bring in a new perspective. So, I thought, what about letting other flights give pearling a shot? If you find a pearl, I'll trade you something in return. And if you don't find a pearl, well, there's all sort of stuff on the ocean floor, and you'll get to keep anything you catch."
"So?" Amara asks you, "what do you think? Want to try your luck?"[/color]

[color=blue]"Not all pearls are equally as valuable," Amara says to you, showing you a case of sample pearls. "While they're all worth something, pearls can still be ranked in quality, all the way from baroque to gem, with baroque being slightly mishapen, and gem quality being completely flawless."
"Gem quality pearls are actually incredibly rare," Amara explains. "Some believe that they contain magical properties beyond the normal level that would be expected, and finding them in the wild is nearly impossible. If you find one of those, please, let me know. I've been authorized by my clan elders to trade away some really rare goods in order to secure those."
"For other pearls, like the Triple A rank, good luck like that is hard to come by. I've got some friends that want to travel to clans with luck like that, and they'd be more than happy to tag along with you, if you'd like." [/color]

[color=blue]"Of course," Amara continues, "there are bonuses, too, for repeat customers. We've got something special for the most tickets bought waiting in the wings. And as for the person who brings in the most empty shells, well, we still need the shells, and there's something to be said for luck like that, too. So me and my friends put something together for whoever that person winds up being, as well."[/color]

For the person who buys the most tickets, you get the gem familiar of your choice! That's right; you pick the gem familiar you want (so long as it's still in the marketplace) and it'll be sent to you.
For the person who gets the most empty shells, you'll win a Seashell Mantle.

There are also going to be milestone prizes! For every 100th ticket won, someone will get a dragon, with apparel included. Of course, which dragon with what apparel is still a surprise: I'll reveal the dragons as the wins pass, and keep the updates here.
