SW Plot: Orokee Conspiracy - sw-orokee-con
The Orokee have fallen upon hard times: sickness has ravaged their numbers, their resources are thin, and a power struggle among the elders has weakened the clan in the eyes of other free folk in the region. But, the son of an elder - one slain several turns previously in a Challenge between the Makaer's Yafaerr and the Lithattu's Rungan - has a plan. But what is that plan? Only a trusted few will know - until the moment when all will be revealed. Until then, Ruslan must gather all the resources he can, from loyal Orokee mates to other clans that are sympathetic to the Orokee's plight.
Only his closest confidants know the details: he wants to make a wildling Weyr of his own, to Impress free folk to dragons and take them away so that they, the Orokee, can offer protection to other clans - and all for the price of their loyalty.
OOC: We're looking at a little bit of the dark and gritty, with the possibilities of murder, poisoning, and sabotage all on the table! This is set to run concurrently with Southern's Fall Search cycle for 2023 and will hopefully provide a lot of excitement for the Weyr, the candidates, and the wildling clans involved!
