Shards of Pern

[Shards of Pern]

What if Lessa failed?

What if Pern had no heroes from the past?

Join us at Shards of Pern, where we explore the possibility that Lessa failed in her attempt to bring forward the Oldtimers, leaving Benden Weyr with the burden of repopulating all of dragonkind at the beginning of the Ninth Pass. The action is set in the Fort Region, with Fort Weyr having just been reopened by 200 dragonriders.

We are a mostly-canon Weyr. We don't support a wide rainbow of colors - just the basic five - and we have tried to stay true to the early books in the series, before Pern went too far afield and lost what made it gritty and interesting! Firelizards will be part of the story; whers will not. Girls will Impress to green dragons, but never to blues or browns. Rather than stretch the boundaries of canon, we've opted to explore the social, political, and adventurous aspects within Pern.

We are currently looking for: 2 goldriders, a handful of bronzeriders and wingleaders, candidates for all colors, and - well, just about everything as we open!

We plan to move into full RP during December, with the game's first goldflight planned for early January, leading to a Hatching in late February or early March. It's a good time to start a character if you're interested in a candidate. Here are some useful posts for potential players:

-- First Hatching Info
-- Open Positions: Includes some suggestions for character types.
-- Theme & History
-- Region Overview: Some game-specific info about the areas of Pern.

Updates!

-- Fort Weyr flies thread for the first time (post ongoing). With no decisive leadership yet - with no queen having yet risen over Fort's skies to confirm a Weyrleader - it's rough-going, and the Wings have taken heavy losses. Their numbers already dwindling, some begin to question whether or not they can continue to fight with so short a supply of healthy dragons.

-- There are still a few open positions for bronzeriders, especially those interested in being Wingleaders and the Weyrleader - eventually. If one of Fort's two queens manages to rise one of these days.

-- Gold Sierryth's maiden Flight - though occurring over Benden Weyr - will bring the first clutch of eggs to Fort's sands in centuries. Be one of the candidates that will make history on those sands! Particularly sought are male candidates - and the future female greenriders that will redefine dragonriding during a Pass that already puts Pern on the brink of destruction. The clutching starts on February 6th, and we'll be accepting candidates until the Hatching begins in March!

-- Fort Hold is under siege. As if it weren't enough that Lord Groghe recently passed away and his reckless son is now the unlikely Lord presumptive, the Hold has been attacked by one of Fax's sons. The Heir has been imprisoned and the holders are under lock-and-guard while the renegades establish their possession. It's a great time to play a holder or crafter, as both heroes and villains are needed for this plot.

-- Harper Hall remains leaderless. Robinton died over eight months ago, and the bickering Masters can't decide on his replacement. But it looks like Ukrisc - a man marked as a misogynist and clearly not the sort of person anyone would have expected to become Masterharper - may be drawing enough votes to launch himself into the premier position. What will this mean for the usually female-friendly Crafthall?
