It is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass. After 450 Turns of threadfree skies, after five generations of Pernese who believed that thread was gone forever, the ancient menace has returned once again, bringing an end to what was, for some, a golden age and, for others, nearly the end of their entire way of life. While the Holds and Halls prospered during the Long Interval, expanding their lands and their learning, the Weyrs crumbled. The juxtaposition between the lives of holders and the lives of riders is nowhere as stark as it is on Ista Island. Here, the Lord of Ista and his family have enjoyed a life of luxury and opulence while the dragonriders of Ista were all but forgotten, the Weyr itself abandoned. But, with thread's return, everything has changed. Those holders who settled the smaller islands of Ista and created new farmholds outside the original coverage areas find themselves now as refugees; the Weyr cannot be expected to fly full coverage over these new regions, and burrows are legion. While some point the finger at the Weyr for failing to protect the new farms, others lay blame on the Lords of Ista, whose greed is the reason the lands were expanded in the first place. Whatever the case, Ista Island must face the Fifth Pass. However they can.

Plot SynopsisIt is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass, following hot on the heels of 450 Turns of threadfree skies during the Long Interval. The Weyrs are climbing out of the long destitution that the Interval brought, including Ista Weyr, where things are far from idyllic. A power-hungry junior goldrider has been poisoning the Weyrwoman in an effort to take the Weyr for herself; the Weyrleader is spineless and weak-willed, and none of the other bronzeriders are much better. At the Hatching, eight eggs were left unhatched, a sure sign of the failing of the queen. The nearby Ista Hold isn't doing much better with an aging Lord who has yet to designate an Heir from among his twin sons. To make matters worse, the poor threadfighting by the Weyr has cost many holders their homes and livelihoods, inundating Ista Hold with refugees. About UsIsta Island is an active, energetic community of roleplayers. We have plots - large, game-wide plots run by staff and smaller, personal plots among the players - to help keep things lively and fresh. We're a mostly canon site, offering the five traditional colors; women still Impress green in our timeline, and there may be a possibility for women to ride blue in the future. Staff is active and helpful, running events, storylines, and contests, and the players are welcoming and friendly. Wanted CharactersDragonriders - The complete list of desired concepts is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg46#msg46o Goldrider - We have an opening for one mature goldrider at this time.

The Weyr Council practiced what might best be called "taxation without representation," enacting several plans of action to help the floundering Weyr - or perhaps just to levy their will against that of the leaderless.

Plot SynopsisIt is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass, following hot on the heels of 450 Turns of threadfree skies during the Long Interval. An ambitious junior goldrider has murdered the Weyrwoman of Ista, leaving a power vacuum at the top and squabbling is bound to ensue. Ista Hold has an aging Lord with two sons, neither of which have been confirmed as Heir yet. To make matters worse, those banished as criminals to the Western Continent have set the wheels in motion to create a Weyr of their own and protect themselves now that the Pass has begun, stealing eggs and infiltrating Candidacy with their own people.
