This is the first of 12 YCHs for a calendar I plan on releasing. There will be a new YCH every week for each Island (which also corresponds with a month of the year.)
This island is Tiannuare, or in english, January.
Some info on January:
January is not as cold as its sister island, December, but is still a cold wilderness. Although the island is nowhere near the poles, there are periods of extended daylight in the summer and extended night in the winter along with instances of aurora borealis. The winters are harsh and the spring and summer are small and fleeting, which means that many cold-blooded races tend to steer clear of this island while creatures designed for the cold often thrive. Some will even come to the port city of Kula on January to vacation.
Although the inhabitants of January are not as wary of technology as December, the inhabitants prefer living the frontier life and living off of the land. Since crops don’t fare well on January but fishing is plentiful, many of the dwellers are carnivores and omnivores with a high population of bears, wolves, raccoons, opossums, and mice. There is also a constant flow of people coming in with the hope of making their fortune panning for gold and people going out who have either failed to make that fortune or locals who want to see what life is like elsewhere.
January’s primary appeal within the Calendar Islands are the mines. The island is very rich in metal including iron, copper, and gold. There are also sources of oil, natural gas, and coal but the largest mines are owned and regulated by the local chimenticore roosts. It is also rumored that the two largest gold mines on the island are owned by a certain elven accountant.
YCH info: YOU DO NOT have to be a IC "native" of January to bid. You could be a visitor to the island.
Bidding is in increments of $5.
Bidding starts at $50
The Final picture will appear in a printed calendar by bidding you are agreeing to have your character in printed media that will be sold to people.
The Auction will end on Friday the 14th at 11:59pm
Place your Bids in reply to the highest bidder
