When AIVAS was discovered, and Thread thought to be banished forever, all of Pern rejoiced. Of course, the Weyrs could no longer be dependent on Holds, and so various Weyrholds were formed in the verdant south. Only one group of riders took the time to think about what they had done. Yes, the explosion on the Red Star had moved the menace out of the way--for now. But that had only ushered in an Interval, as before.
This group left the various Weyrs and Weyrholds, instead forming a new "Weyrhold" in a double caldera, near the Eastern Ring Islands. In truth, however, Stormheart Weyrhold was the only remaining conclave of riders who believed that Thread would return, training their dragons and riders to fight Thread when it should return.
Time proved them right.
The Long Interval ended, and Stormheart rose to meet the Thread in the sky. Stormheart's five queens split, refounding old Weyrs and starting new. Pern was saved, and dragonriders once again fought Thread.
Of course, the Interval came again, but this time the world knew better than to think Thread was gone. Though the population dwindled as usual, the Weyrs remained at strength. And when queens started laying larger Clutches once again, the Searchriders were greeted, if not with glee, at least not with knives.
All was well... until...
From the future, a strange dragon came. Her hide was a pale green, lacking any pigment but that of her own ichor. Her eyes were a dull green, no color swirling across--for she had no color. She was an albino, and she had come to take the Weyr into the future, a mere six months before Thread was to fall.
Commanded by the queen, nearly the entire Weyr went forward, seeming to forget about what danger they were leaving Stormheart's holders in. Only a few remained, including the junior Weyrwoman, a woman by the name of Alecca. Her golden Charath guarded a tragic double-Clutch, the second mother, Tarazeth, now dead after Hers had died of illness. Desperate, Alecca sent out a plea for riders, and many transfers came, many fresh out of weyrlinghood. With them came Candidates, and soon... the Clutch Hatched.
All was normal, until... an albino hatched. Weak and pitiful, the malformed creature soon died, leaving His devastated. And then--another albino. From one of the two queen eggs, came an albino queen!
After a brutal and tragic attack on the weyrlings, many riders are injured--and more weyrlings dead. A fertile greenFlight and a goldFlight are in the works, as well several massive plots with many twists and turns!
We have many positions open and always love new members! Several plots are currently ongoing, and with the friendly admin (at least, I think I'm friendly?), there's always a lot of fun to go around!!
And of course, we love riders of every color, holdfolk, drudges, wildlings (O.o;
, and anything else your mind can come up with...
