Avais did its job. In fact, the job was done so well that Thread was no longer a threat to Pern, and a craft some distance away managed to hear the final call. From there things happened quickly, the ship landing, the Antar meeting Pern. From that moment, nothing was the same.
The beautiful Antar were fascinated by the dragons, loved the beautiful flits, and enjoyed the simple company of the Pernese. However, they would return home, some ten turns later. Those that Impressed dragons stayed, or those that loved the draconic beings too much to live without them. However many holders and crafters decided to go with the Antar, wanting to learn more of what there was beyond what they knew. A large step for so many, it ended in tragedy.
The Antarian ship, Evernity, had not been off of Pernese soil for more than a few moments before the unthinkable happened. An explosion filled the air, angry red coloring filling the skies. The ship that carried so many lives had crashed into the Red Star. Those who were left on Pern, Pernese and Antar alike, mourned the loss. But life was forced to continue.
A few turns after the Accident, Thread fell once more, taking the planet by surprise. Many died. And this first 'Fall since the Accident, since Avais, made the Dragonriders realize that there were far too few people spread out about the planet, with an abundance of Dragonriders and a lack of Crafters and Holders.
Hundreds of turns later, the effects of the Accident are still being felt, though there are many more lives to fill the land of Pern once more. A new hope has been placed in the western islands, a chain known as the Kindred Islands. A group of Dragonriders left the overflowing Southern Weyr to make a new home for themselves.
Aphelion Weyr was built upon the largest of the islands, Sillion Island. In a few turns, holds were built up around the Weyr, knowing that the land there would be safe. And here they prospered. Holds and Weyrs alike, both striving to bring back the crafts the way they had been. A few Halls had been built up about the Kindred Chain.
However, grief overcomes Aphelion time and time again, as their beloved golden dragons seem to have a curse over them. So long a chain of bad luck, not a single golden queen able to live out a full life so far in the Weyr, they lay all their hope in Analei and her golden Adrainarlyth, the queen only a few turns old.
Brand new Weyr, starting out on our own!
Non-canon, with a wide variety of colors, open for some growth!
Eggs will shortly be upon the sands!
A Clutch Theme Contest is starting!
We have several pre-made slots available, dragon and wher.
Huge plot lines in store!
And some nifty flitter eggs for those who win contests!
