A Short Introduction to City Weyr
500 Turns after the banishment of Thread, Pern continues to flourish. The Holds have expanded, the growing population spilling onto green land to cultivate previously untouched fertile soil. Advancements in healer craft mean that the people are healthier than ever, and the relatively new printer craft has brought widespread literacy across the planet. Things are quiet and calm.[/size]
But the biggest change is the role of the riders. Once Pern’s protectors in the literal sense, they’re now the law-makers and peace-keepers, the body that keeps the Lord Holders from bickering with each other over land. True, their numbers have reduced drastically since the days of Thread, but the appearance of new clutching females have allowed them to stabilise, and although they occupy just one Weyr, Benden, now known as City, but that one Weyr is going strong with over three hundred dragons.
But things are just a little too quiet for City’s adventurous and ambitious weyrwoman, and so she’s turned her attention to a new enterprise; exploration. Currently she’s just having her riders go over the wilder areas of the Southern forests, but her eyes are set on a more alluring region, one truly unknown; the Western Continent.
But at the moment the Weyr’s main focus is on the up-and-coming gold flight, which will decide the new leadership.
What we have to offer:
- A fresh, new site, full of good ideas,
- Many open positions for members to fill up,
- Future opportunities for staff members,
- An up-coming leadership flight,
- A selection of interesting and original non-canon colours,
- A site-wide plot planned that everyone can get involved in but…
- Plenty of scope for characters to make their own story-lines,
- An emphasis on character development.
