Blazewing Eyrie

Blazewing Eyrie is a residence inhabited by Elanna, Indi, Elluim, and Kauko

Paracosmic history

The two-story northwestern home of Elanna Blazewing and her flock was formed in 1952 from the ashes of an old Guardian frontier outpost. Elanna, the Guardian of Transmutation, formerly controlled the Glow Den, which was situated a short flight from this location. Citing lack of a proper landing area, Elanna transferred to the much larger, more appropriate Eyrie in 2015, along with her toy and longtime companion Indi Latrani. Indi primarily resides in the Eyrie’s Junction, amongst the pile of other toys. Joining the pair were Elluim, the Neptunian Ambassador, and Kauko, an avian Elanna had previously uplifted from a lesser form, and transplanted from the dreary Bay Realm. Regular visits from Elanna’s lover owl Ally kept the feather ratio at an acceptable level. Together, the five of them formed the Blazewing Flock, and intend to continue to rest and roost within these walls until such time when something even greater calls.

Behavior and content policies

The Eyrie is intended to be a comfortable place for all members of the community. Clothing is optional and sexual activity may occur in public areas. Food, alcohol, and non-combusting psychoactives (including vaporizers) may be consumed in any public rooms. Anything that produces smoke should be consumed outside or in specifically-designated areas.

Given that different people have different comfort levels (concerning sexual activity, media content, sensory sensitivities, drug use, or anything else), every Eyrie gathering will keep multiple public spaces available and populated so that anyone who needs to can find one that they are comfortable in. Anyone at any gathering should feel free to move from a room if they are uncomfortable with what's going on there, and everyone is expected to respect the needs of others to find a comfortable place. If you find yourself in a situation where there does not seem to be any space available in which you can be comfortable, inform Elanna (if she is available) or Indi (only if Elanna is not present) and they will help resolve the situation.

The Junction is the only public space with a door. The Junction door will usually be closed during gatherings to help keep noise levels down in that room. The Junction is publicly accessible even if the door is closed, unless the door sign specifies otherwise. All other rooms should be considered occupied and unavailable if the door is closed. This includes the bathroom; please leave the bathroom door open when the room is not in use.

Food, alcohol and psychoactives that are set out in public areas may be considered freely available for responsible shared use by anyone. This includes the alcohol in the liquor cabinet. Any consumables provided that are home-made or not in their original packaging should be labelled if they contain psychoactives, meat, dairy, gluten, nightshades, or nuts.

Official events

The Eyrie has frequent casual and spontaneous gatherings, but also hosts some community events. Anyone known to the Postfurry community (Most likely anyone reading this, unless you somehow found it spontaneously) is welcome at these events, unless the event info specifies otherwise.

• Seasonal Offerings happen roughly every six weeks, on solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days, the Eyrie hosts a gathering and ritual. We give thanks to the spirits and powers that bring us together and see us through the year, with food offerings and a small feast afterwards. The gathering is non-sectarian but presented from a polytheist/animist perspective. Anyone attending may participate or observe respectfully. Additional food offerings are welcome but not required; talk to Indi for details.
• Glowtide Celebrations are held sometime in the last few weeks of the year, with two or three events in the days between December 21 and January 1. One of these will include the seasonal offering above, while others are more traditional holiday parties. Food and drink is provided potluck style. Please label any food contributions that contains meat, dairy, gluten, nightshades, or nuts.
• The Midrigsnight gathering is held on the summer solstice, along with that season's offering. This is a large potluck/barbecue gathering with a bonfire.
