As always, the exact time period varies. There are several people writing in late 707 at the moment, but some are also writing early 708. For the moment you can probably assume it's the winter after WA. Misha has sorta retired from the long scouts, but he remains active anyway. Matthias finally finished his epic storyline and will be starting another one soon. And the starchild arc has been put on hold with revised storyline til further notice. Focus on the writer's guild has actually died down by now and it plays more of a secondary role, appearing in several stories, but not being the focus of any with possibly an exception or two. Duke Thomas is getting married and that's the essential update on most of the important people I think... Anyway, welcome back to MK!

What's the current time period? 708 CR I'm fairly sure, but what season? I happen to remember Laracin, the tree morph, being uprooted during WA, but I don't remember any story following that to say what has happened to him since. What characters take an active teaching/leading role in the Writers Guild? Such as the Headmaster and those who teach reading and writing. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ MKGuild mailing list <a href="mailto:MKGuild@lists.integral.org">MKGuild@lists.integral.org</a> <a href="http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild" target="_blank">http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild</a> </blockquote></div> !DSPAM:4af30c5f109071804284693!
