On the Horizons, Danger Comes

Something in Whazzit had changed.
At first, it was something intangible. A stress in the air, a sense of trouble upon the horizon. Whispers and prophecies of unrest and doom were told throughout the village. Nobody knew what was coming, not exactly. So, for weeks, the omens continued. The sense of dread thickened the air. The Whazzitians didn’t know what their sign would be, but it was coming, and fast. And then it was there. One brisk, chilly morning. Humanoids alike would step out of their homes and feel the change. Their eyes would lift to the sky.
The dragons of the weyrd roared in distress.
Hanging in the sky, blocking out vague shapes of the three moons and painting the skies an amber red, was a star. Its surface visibly churned like a never-ending fire. It was distant, still, but it was coming. The sight of it sent a panic through dragonkin. Thread, they kept saying. Burn it! Eventually, the old tales and legends of the Red Star would be unearthed. Astronomers and mathematicians began working immediately to figure out when to expect the deadly silver string.
It would come in a month’s time.
When it seemed like the panic was coming to a head, and nothing could stop the building hysteria, a gold dragon stepped in. Saesenth was quick to start organizing flights of dragons and their riders, of wher handlers, even owners of firelizards. She put the engineers to work crafting flamethrowers, and guided the brilliant minds that predicted the start time of threadfall to go a step further and predict threadfall. She consulted the archivists to get as much information as they could about the stuff, and how to protect it.
So how were you contributing? Were you a dragon rider, preparing for flight at the front lines? Were you a wher handler, sweeping the grounds with flamethrowers and your beasts that breathed fire? Were you doing research, creating the flamethrowers, making timecharts and spreadsheets?
How were you preparing for perhaps the biggest fight for your life?

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Stage 1 of this Threadfall Event! This is the Preparation Stage, which will last exactly one month and end on December 9th, 2020. A few important things:
i. Participation in this event will earn you a shiny surprise!
ii. There will be more than one stage for this event. Participation in all stages will earn you an even bigger, super secret shiny surprise. Participation in all stages is highly recommended!
iii. All characters, of course, may participate. You may also include any of your shinies you would like. Pick whatever you’d like to do, join other people, harass Saesenth and Zebey, whatever your heart wants.
iv. I will post as you do. I’ll also post with my characters, if I can- at the very least Zebey and Saesenth, since they are sort of heading the whole ordeal.
