Thread was beginning to fall upon Pern for its 9th pass. During the first Turns of the Pass things were going well. The Senior Weyrwoman Sirana was doing a wonderful job and Prianth’s clutches were growing in size. The Weyr was newly formed at this time and only had one gold rider occupying so the appearance of a gold egg on the sands was very much welcomed. A young girl named Ephia from Rias Hold managed to impress the ‘tiny’ golden dragonet.

Sirana began teaching Ephia the things she would need to know as a goldrider, but as the Pass continued, a disease struck the Weyr. One of those to fall victim to the outbreak was Weyrwoman Sirana. Ephia and her dragon Ariath were just barely out of Weyrlinghood for a Turn.

During the following Turn several dragonrider and their dragons perished due to this outbreak, including the Weyrwoman. The Weyr suffered greatly. Not only did they not have a Weyrwoman but they had suffered a great loss in riders and dragons. Many turned to Ephia who was only 24 turns old. It wasn’t common for a goldrider to become the senior Weyrwoman at such a young age and with so little experience, but there was little that could be done. None of the other surrounding Weyrs could afford transferring a queen rider to Rias. Ephia was weary in the position but knew that there was little that could be done. She had to lead the Weyr until a Weyrleader could be chosen to help her.

Though Ephia was marked as the new Senior Weyrwoman, Ariath had yet to take to the sky in a mating flight. Now, days before another Threadfall in their sector, young Ariath had begun to glow. The bronze and brown dragons have become anxious and have begun watching the young queen carefully. Ariath would soon take to the air, choosing a new Weyrleader and officially making Ephia the Senior Weyrwoman.


Notes:
1. AIVAS was never found
2. Set in the 9th 'present' Pass
3. The Weyr was founded by Ephia's predacessor Weyrwoman whom has recently passed away.

Wednesday Feb. 23rd, 2005
Ariath has been caught by brown Tallith making brownrider L'cian Weyrleader. I wonder what people will think of a brownrider being Weyrleader...

Tuesday Feb. 1st, 2005
Ariath has risen and two browns and two bronzes have taken up the challenge to claim the queen.

Monday Jan. 24th, 2005
A Feline hunt was organized and several riders walked away with some nice pelts for their weyrs.

1. Yes! These are RP mandatory.
2. Don't beg or try to bribe me or any lineartists for a dragonrider or you will be places on the blacklist.
3. No pets trades
4. Make sure you have read the storyline and anything else you need to know for RPing
5. If you don't own a dragonrider you may establish a character in the Holds or Crafthall, but there will be no graphics for these characters.
6. You didin't have to read the series to become a member as long as you read everything in this thread which should be enough to get you started.
7. Don't beg to be a Hear-All-Dragons character or ask to own a mutated dragon. These will be given out when we see fit.
8. You may NOT use any names from the books. Humans, drgaons, flits etc.

Queens/Golds
The gold dragons, more commonly known as the Queens, are the egg layers of the dragons. Queens are also the largest of the dragons and I will be frank, most queens act just like their title says. Queens are only females and will only impress females.

Growth: 38-40 meters in length

Bronzes
Bronze dragons are just a bit smaller than the females and are usually the ones that catch a queen during a mating flight. All bronze dragons are male and will only impress males.

Growth: 35-38 meters in length

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Browns
Brown dragons are smaller than the bronze and are usually the ones to mate with a greendragon. Rarely, if a brown dragon manages to survive, he may be able to mate with one of the queens dragons. Browns are always males and will mainly impress males though a few females may also be impressed by them

Growth: 30-35 meters in length

Blues
Blues, like browns and bronze dragons, are strictly males. They are lithe and quite fast, just a bit larger than the green dragons which are mainly for speed, while the blues have a bit more endurance. These are able to be impressed by bot male and female candidates.

Growth: 25-30 meters in length

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Greens
Greens are completely female though both male and females may impress them. Green are the smallest of the dragons and their speed is unmatched though they have little endurance to keep up long thear flights so are often interchanged.

Growth: 20-25 meters in length

Flatsale Info

Each flatsale will have so many eggs, each egg will already have a preset color though no one except myself and merangue will know what's avaliable. BUT, it will be announced when there's a queen egg on the sand, but those are extremely rare and will be a flatsale within themselves.

To participate in a flatsale you MUST answer the posted prompt in at LEAST 3 paragraphs. The point of the prompt is to get an idea of your characters personality as well as your writing. After all the prompts are in I and merangue qill pick through each one and decide who gets what egg. Then a hatching will be posted where everyone of the characters who recieve an egg will be included. I will NOT announce who got an egg, you will have to read the prompt to find out. That's the fun of it.

Rules
1. Please use good grammar
2. NO editing your post after you post it.
3. Make sure to include the prompt in your post somehow.
4. Don't complain if you're not chosen to get an egg. Just try again, maybe your lifemate just wasn't on the sands.



There isn't a clutch on the sands.

1. Everything will pretty much be in cannon except the fact that females can impress brown and blue dragons as well.
2. There will be many terms used in RP that were created in Anne McCaffrey's world. If you are unsure of these terms make sure to check out the Lexicon.
3. RPing is mandatory for Dragonriders I'd like to see a post at least once a week and that doesn't mean just in your journal. I want to see interaction between riders in the guild
4. If you don't have a dragonrider you may create a character for the holds or crafthall. I will ONLY add your characters name to the list IF I see that you are RPing the character. If you just jump in with a character and post only a few times then I won't consider that character a part of the main RPing.
5. PLEASE try to stay as pernese as possible.

Q: Is this in cannon?
A:Yes.... well mostly. Females will be allowed to impress brown and blue dragons as well, instead of just golds and greens.

Q: Is there a place I can find what some of the pernese words mean?
A:
Yes... well soon. I am working on a list of pernese words so people who haven't read the series or just need a refresher can look the words up.

Q: Can I impress a queen?
A: Maybe. A queen egg is a rare occurence so it will be a big deal when one is laid on the sands.

Q: PLEASE, PLEASE may I have one? *gives puppy dog eyes*
A:
If ANYONE asks me or any of the staff member that you will immediatle put on the black list and more than likely never allowed to impress a dragon

Q: Will there be any white dragons like Ruth?
A: NO! There will not be any white dragons and I highly doubt there will be any mutations either. It's just not something that happens commonly, (Ruth is an example of this) and I am trying to stay as in cannon as possible.

These people are on my good side and have helped out me or any other staff members of the shop to th ebest of their ability.

Kimaria - Donated the flit lineart heart
Werewolf - Donated the Watch-Wher lineart heart


Black List

The black list is for people who managed to piss me or merangue off enough. Begging for a dragon (for example) would find your name here quite fast.

None yet, and keep it that way
