The POTS signs have been removed from Village shops and businesses.
They've been replaced with signs announcing that the place is either BLUE or GREEN. Those that carry neither sign are being referred to as TURQUOISE.
It's a disturbing state of affairs. Those who self-identify as BLUE refuse to do business in GREEN shops, and vice versa, either one will sneak into a shop without any identifier, but will do their best to convince the owner to chose theirs. Meanwhile, those of us disgusted with all the division ... {deep breath} ... add to the problem by refusing to support those who advocate discrimination. By discriminating against THEM.
Underhill is closed off. This may be deliberate, or it may be because a herd of Cassare dragons have chosen to nest nearby.
It has been noted that the troubles in the Valley seem to coincide with the appearance of the Cassare breed and the recent incursion of Avatar dragons. Arthur and Jonah have left to investigate the origins of both.
