Membership is now open. For reasons unknown membership was disabled.

I have a question for anyone who knows about groups. I've been adding the pictures but they're being sent to the favorites folder instead of the featured folder. Why?

Oh, and if you contribute to the cause you can suggest your own work to be featured by sending it to the group. That way all we'll have to do is vote on it.

Groups are confusing things.

We are now officially a group! Please have patience with me while I figure out how to work everything. Remember, now that we are a group any comments coming from here will be coming from my username.

But you can now join us as a member!

A new journal is created, a fresh page is turned.

A new story.

A new beginning for D'ni. For the Least.

Despite its pain, its agony, D'ni will live again. The Tree will spread its leaves and put forth new roots, unshaken by the drought.

I am the Grower. A heavy burden, passed down to my weary shoulders from my poor father. My father failed, just as my grandfather and grandmother did.

But I will not fail. The Least will be freed.

In time, those adventurous souls, those brave explorers will join me in my quest to free them. With their aid the tree will grow.

And the Grower will become the growers. And the Least will become the Great. And the burden will be shared with many, and through the sharing of the burden my family will be... free.

Hey, welcome! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mark Glenn. I'm the head of the Growers... well... technically Yeesha is but she rarely around so I'm giving myself a promotion.

Oh... so you want to know what this is all about? So would I buddy, so would I...

Anyway, I had the bright idea that maybe there would be a way to free the Least. You know how Yeesha is about that. But you might be thinking "How can I do that?"

It's easy. All you have to do is draw a picture of Yeesha. And when you draw her, her magical linking powers are transferred to you and you become a Grower too!

Nah... just kidding. But seriously, draw her. Draw her, upload the picture, and throw us a link so we can add it to our collection. For every picture we recieve, one bahro is saved. I'm going to be uploading my own picture of Yeesha soon so I'll go ahead and add a bahro.



There.

But don't just limit yourself to a boring old picture of Yeesha. You could draw Yeesha talking to a bahro, or climbing a tree, or heck, you could just draw a picture of me (I know, I know. I'm just so handsome you can't wait to draw me.) For every picture sent we'll add a bahro icon to a special bahro journal.

Oh shoot. I can hear Yeesha coming. I've got to go. Go crazy, kids, and don't get lost in the Cavern.

At the suggestion of several people, we have applied to have this account turned into a group. Let's see if we can make that big step before the New Year.
