As you take your seat (or perch, or patch of moss) among other aspiring naturalists, the dragon continues. "We've been waiting quite a while to reveal to you the new clubhouse," she says, waving an arm around the beautiful old structure, a repurposed hunting lodge deep in the foliage of the Shrieking Wilds. Some polite applause follows this pronouncement, but one of the other dragons next to her starts tapping his foot. "Okay, okay," snaps the Pearlcatcher, but she turns to the impatient dragon with a faux-admonishing glance. "Here it is... your first challenge, for which you can earn a lovely badge and raffle ticket!" Pandemonium erupts as voices clamor to ask questions and necks crane around you to see the promised prizes on the table up front. "Calm down, everyone!" squeaks the Pearlcatcher, clearly taken by surprise by the crowd's enthusiasm. "Don't knock over our mini-Behemoth, please, the Faes spent so long decorating it... This is how the Society rewards your discoveries, now listen up."

The daily theme will be announced every day in this thread. You can join the self-editing pinglist [b][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w2cYM8PTO-njVZB9IZXec06dkTRyvgzYsSS9Hi3oyKI/edit?usp=sharing]HERE[/url][/b]. 2. Research the daily theme to find a real life animal/plant species that you can creatively connect to a dragon you own or created in the Scrying Workshop. Entries can be Visual (photo, art, etc), Dress-Up, or Lore/Writing. 3. Each player can submit one entry each day to earn one raffle ticket. A bonus ticket is given for an entry that includes your own original photo or art (be sure to mention this!) or a writing entry that is over 500 words. You can earn a maximum of 14 total tickets this way. 4. Daily raffle prizes will be selected via RNG and announced daily. End of the week prizes will be selected and announced by December 16th. 5. Late entries are fine. As long as entries are posted by rollover on Saturday the 14th, they will be counted for the end of the week raffle (but not the daily raffles, which happen throughout the week).

[/font][/size][/color] [font=arial][size=5][color=#595f30]But now that she was hosting her parents at her lair for the first time, she was nervous. Would her jam be as good as her mother’s?
