WELCOME... TO A THREAD-FREE PERN. WELCOME TO MOONLIT WEYR.

SOAR UPON FRAGILE DRAGON WINGS

Thread is gone. It has been officially gone for 2 turns now. AIVAS's plan worked, and the Pernese are free of the menace of Thread forever. The outpost on the Western Isles that had hosted a wing to protect its starhalls now held the riders led by a young queen and her favored bronze, who created a new Weyr - Moonlit. The Weyr soon proved itself as more than a way to ease the tension in the crowded Northern and Southern Weyrs, because new colors started appearing in dragon clutches. These new, additional colors are what make Moonlit somewhat special in a world that suddenly finds itself without a true need for the Weyrs. There are no new colors at the old Northern Weyrs, nor even at the Southern ones. New jobs for dragonriders, the thread of asteroids nearby, darkness creeping around the Isles, and the possibility of the new colors to have some sort of special abilities besides telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation, together make Moonlit Weyr a very unique place to live. And its only getting more interesting!

WE FLY TO SAVE THE WORLD WE LOVE

What are Dragons and Weyrfolk to do with their enemy - Thread - gone forever? (No doubt they are happy, but it is a somewhat embittered joy. Their livelihoods are moot.) Moonlit Weyr's about to find out... There are several possibilities, but will any dragonriders take to the new ideas? And what could the new rumor going around about the new dragon colors being special in other ways be? Is there any truth to the rumors?! Now that Thread is gone, Pern's holders are beginning to broaden their horizons, but that means someone has to protect them from wild felines and other natural dangers! Fireball- asteroid- threats are possible, but natural disasters are more likely and more common. And speaking of natural disasters.... Can predicting storms actually protect Pern's peopel from any of the dangers?...

Dragonriders are sworn to protect the people of Pern, and we will! Using whatever skills we have....

UPDATE

We've all probably heard by now that the wonderful and inspirational Anne McCaffery passed away on the 21 of November. The world will mourn the loss of one of its greatest authors of all time. She left the world of Pern to her kids Todd and Gigi, and to Todd's daughter. But she also left it to all of us, the readers and the roleplayers, to enjoy for ages to come! Don't you think it's our job to reinvigorate pern roleplaying?

In IC News, The mourning Valureth's eggs are hard enough for the egg-brush, which is going on now - soon the eggs will hatch, and Valureth will go *between* forever. Candidates are welcome not only for the Sapphire's clutch, but for the still-hardening Spiral Faith's litle clutch as well.

The rumors of dragonkin having new abilities seem ot be true, though the exact specifics of these powers is unknown as of yet. We do know that the abilities are called "talents" and all seem to have to do with powers of the mind. And of course it's only the new colors, limited to Moonlit Weyr, that seem to have the Talents. So Lilacs, Teals, Sands, and all the rest are the ones who can do more than just telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation.

The weather is turning colder, and most days are rainy, but there seems to be some sort of threat in the air. It's not like the darknes that surrounded Harper Raiin's death, but some of the dragons are uneasy nonetheless. And it doesn't help that the small population of wild felines on the isles are multiplying more like terran rabbits than most felines normally do - they seem to be a threat, but not the same one "bothering" dragonkin.

Still, despite the gloom, lots of fun things are happening, like eggs for sale in the flitter egg shop, (although the store is closing for the holidays, get the last discounted few eggs while they're available!) and the scavenger hunt! The first riddle-clues are being deciphered and soon the weyrfolk,dragonriders, weyrlings, and candidates involved will have a new clue to solve! Plus there's the harvest feast soon, and everyone gets to stuff their faces on that day! limited patrols, limited chores, and no lessons for a whole day!
