The last two weeks were really busy. Despite the newly recruited staff, we have a lot more work than we actually can handle at a time, so we concentrate on the most promising tasks.
One of my favorite works was the research on Nifehrens archives. I learned a lot about the fauna and flora of that barren, frozen wasteland. Dr. Shingler, our zoologist, and his assistant Jessie found information about a creature the D’ni called “Rehnuradoy”, a strange animal, roughly similar to a small reptile, with body fluids, that act as non-freeze liquids. This is a trait that it shares with a lot of other lifeforms of the age, but in its case the fluids are so potent, that it can live even in the harshest, coldest places of Nifehren. It is approximately a half foot long and nourishes on lichens. The most apparent feature of the creature are its “eye stripes” – instead of eyes like we know them from earth, they have two, deep blue stripes, from their heads to their hind feet, that are photosensitive, and with which they can see, even in the dark, cold Nifehren nights.
I also started to help out the new maintainers, with doing inspections on explorer written ages and restored areas. It is something I had wanted to do since a long time, and finally, after reading a call in their forums (Link: http://www.guildofmaintainers.org), I decided to do something.
Respondences were really positive, which is really motivating for me, and I´m planning to do at least one inspection for each age and area that is available right now. I won´t post any of them here in my blog – unless the writers want me to. Some of the ages are not yet opened for the public, and I clearly will respect the wishes of the ages writers.
Hello Rabenschwinge,
I wanted to thank you for a long time for your excellents inspection reports that you make on GoMa but I did not know very well where to do it because I am not GoMa’s member : GoW ? H’Uru ? elsewhere ? I hope here is a good place.
I wanted to tell you how I always enjoy reading you and how I always learning about Ages you describe, even if I have visited them before.
For example, Sholek’s temple : I had completely missed the animation on the first link and I look forward to return there ! Similarly, I find your look on things extremely vigilant and sharp and I also always learn a lot when I read you : then I can not look on the same way when I return in the Age.
Please, pardon my bad english even if I get help with translators.
Best regards.

Hello Tangara, thank you for your nice and kind words!
I´m happy to hear that people like my inspections, it encourages and motivates me a lot. I enjoy visiting the ages and doing this kind of research in them.
Your English is very good, I´m not a native speaker either, and always use an online dictionary.
I hope, you´ll enjoy reading my future inspections (and maybe my Blog?)
Best regards,
Rabenschwinge
