Helpful Hints

Check out the Yellow Pages forum for the rules of the board. Feel free to ask any questions you might have there, as well, or make suggestions.

Curious about what sort of characters we need? We're currently in need of more Candidates (aren't we always?), brown, (male) blue, and green riders, workers for the Lower Caverns (particularly foster mothers), Crafters and Holderfolk, but as always, all characters are welcome!

Current News

September 22: Heir Lhiarad of Western Barrier Hold has been murdered at the hands of Raiders! To the sky, riders, to find the culprits!

October 1: Happy Turnover! As Pern moves into the thirty-fourth Turn of the Tenth Pass, all players are asked to please age their characters appropriately, by one Turn.

October 2: Due to a rather unusual accident, Caufar mourns the loss of Weyrling M'teon and bronze Marinth, and T'grel and blue Modreth. Read "In and Out" in the Ultimate Fuzzy Time Forum for details!

As well Staff have chosen Janine to play guest queen rider, Lynyara, and her dragon, Keth! Congratulations!

October 5: Caufar's youngest queen has taken to the air in her maiden flight! Better hurry up before Cevineth gets away, boys!

October 9: Cevineth has been caught by Karetta's brown Kriegath! Wonder how Pern will take this one...

October 18: Darhian has been declared Heir of Western Barrier Hold, and betrothed to (of all people!) the son of Lord Restair and Lady Manadylle, Estaman! They're going to be quite a pair...

November 1: On a distant, secluded stretch of coastline, Soralie's green Uith has risen in a flight that will have four predetermined participants, but only one victor... Who will it be?

Caufar Weyr
[ ]Weyr Bowl
Generally the first place anyone sets foot at Caufar Weyr, whether they come through the Weyr tunnel on foot or are brought in a-dragonback. This is the Weyr's center; you can get to practically anywhere from here.

[ ]The Lake
Caufar Weyr's lake encompases almost a third of the Weyr Bowl, dominating the southwestern corner of the Weyr. It's deep enough to accomodate the largest of dragons, and it's not often that you see it empty of draconian life forms.

[ ]Lower Caverns (2 sub-boards)
The hub of Weyr life, the Lower Caverns are always bustling with activity. From the massive dining cavern where the Weyrfolk eat, to the equally large kitchens that provide massive quantities of food for the folk, right down to the storage rooms where Candidates spend a good portion of their times changing glowbaskets. You'll find it all right here.

The rustle of dragon wings fills the air. Whether it's feeding, flights, or rising to continue the never-ending battle against Thread, the skies of Pern are never empty of dragonkind.

[ ]Candidate Barracks (1 sub-board)
If you're a Candidate, you live here. The barracks has three main sections; the girls' barracks, the boys' barracks, and a common room that joins the two. Of course, boys are not permitted in the girls barracks, or vice versa, and with the Candidatemaster's office nearby, they can expect to be under watch at all times.

[ ]Weyrling Barracks (1 sub-board)
There are two distinct differences between these barracks and the Candidate barracks. One; there is no division of barracks here. All Weyrlings live together, regardless of gender. Two; it's huge. The Weyrling barracks are designed to house up to one hundred Weyrlings and their dragons at any given time. Each cot has a wallow beside it, the largest of which are reserved for the gold and bronze hatchlings.

[ ]Hatching Sands
Current clutch: None

The birthplace of the Weyr's future. The feet of countless Candidates have trod across these sands, but only a lucky few have left with a dragon by their side. Do you have what it takes to face the protective queen when her eggs are hatching, and to hopefully Impress one of her young?

The Protectorate
[ ]Three Rivers Hold
Lord: Restair
Lady: Manadylle (Restair's second wife)


Crafts/Purpose: A primarily agricultural Hold, Three Rivers is responsible for the growth of much of the region's crops, due to a rich flood plain territory. Because of a wide crop diversity, Three Rivers is also home to an expansive, rather creative Vintnercrafthall that is best known for its stout ale. Beyond that, the Hold also has strong Craft links towards industrial Smithing (the production of irrigation pipes, plumbing and the like being the most noted).

Relationship with the Weyr: Very strong, the Hold won't begrude Candidates, and many a Three Rivers family can lay claim to a dragonrider relative. However, at times the Hold's closeness to the Weyr can be stifling, for Lord Restair hasn't yet learned that, as a Holder, he has no control over the inner workings of Caufar.

[ ]Western Barrier Hold (1 sub-board)
Lord: Grudar
Lady: Lhiannon


Crafts/Purpose: Strong Miningcraft presence, with a high production of firestone, blackrock, some metals, and fine gemstones. Also produces high-quality wool from its mountaineous ovines, and hardy, nimble-footed runners ideal for traversing rocky mountain paths.

Relationship with the Weyr: Neutral. Western Barrier doesn't often need protection from Threadfall, and since they provide the Weyr with its firestone, there is something of a Hold-wide sense of superiority over dragonriders, the sort of tolerance of a parent indulging their child.

[ ]Darksea Hold and Dolphincraft Hall (1 sub-board)
Lord: None
Lady: Nuriel


Crafts/Purpose: A SeaHold (and therefore a fishing hold) with a strong Healer presence due to the choppy seas, Darksea's primary craft is the attached Dolphincraft Hall. Primary export other than fish is well-crafted ships and other such vessels, with the local comestible delicacy being garum, which comes (mostly) from fish.

Relationship with the Weyr: Terrible. Darksea is one of the last to tithe, and does so completely begrudgingly. Riders on Search are not welcome here, and most of the Holderfolk maintain the same dislike for dragons and their riders that the main Hold does. In the past, riders were not allowed to Search from Darksea, and at this point the only time anyone really sees the riders is during 'fall.

Crest: Two red fish, crossed, on a black field.
