The History and Setting of Carew Weyr

Carew Weyr was established towards the end of the first interval, shortly after Benden, High Reaches and Telgar. In our setting, Ista Weyr does not exist and Carew Weyr was founded in its place. Likewise, Ista Hold does not exist. Instead the principle hold is Carew Hold. When Carew Weyr was established, its construction utilized the last of the energy of the ancients' rock cutting equipment, which enabled quite spacious and comfortable accommodations.

Since Carew Weyr is located where Ista Weyr would be in the published novels, it enjoys the same tropical type of climate. There are basically two seasons; the hot season and the rainy one.

Since our timeline starts during the end of the First Long Interval prior to the Fifth pass of the Red Star, AIVAS has not been found (nor will it be), none of the events of the 9th pass have taken place, and green dragons impressing to women is neither unheard of nor uncommon.

During the preceding turns, Pern has been enjoying the first of the prolonged intervals; four hundred long turns during which the Red Star has passed out of Pern’s orbit and Thread has not fallen upon the planet. Because of this, Thread is viewed at worst, as a myth, and at best, as a threat no longer. Only the most traditional and stalwart holders and craftsmen believe that the Threads will return. Even some dragonmen have become convinced that Thread is no more.

At this time, several factors have converged to put the future of the Weyrs and indeed, all of Pern, in grave peril. Due to the long interval, the Lord Holders are disgruntled at tithing to their beholden Weyrs. Such tithes have become skimpy and in some cases, have fallen off altogether. Dragonriders have fallen into planet-wide disfavor and are not being accorded the courtesies which were prevalent during earlier times. Most recently, in turn 1255, three turns before the pass is due to start, a virulent plague has swept through the populace and decimated the ranks of Dragonriders. Though the illness was not often fatal to humans, it happened to be one of the few zoonotic diseases which could affect dragons as well as people and it hit the dragon population far harder than the humans.

Many of Pern’s great dragons were killed by the illness, with the disease hitting those in the prime of their lives the hardest. Worse, of those Queens that are left after the plague, many have not risen in mating flights, though in the prime of their lives and are feared to be sterile. It is believed that those Queens who were but mildly stricken with the plague are still fertile, but no one knows what strange effects, if any, the illness will have upon future generations.

Now, at the end of turn 1256, with the plague ended a turn and a half ago, the Weyrs have started to recover from their grave loss. Even though reminders are everywhere life goes on. Even with the Weyrs vastly understaffed, filled with such ex-riders as did not suicide when their dying dragons went between and the grieving families, friends, weyrmates and lovers of those riders who could not bear life without their beloved lifemates, things are starting to look up.

When Shayeth rose in her first glorious mating flight after the plague and clutched an astronomical forty eggs, everyone rejoiced in the hope of those precious unhatched dragonets, even though the gold egg seemed somewhat strange with its odd coloring. And the clutch did not disappoint, hatching out extremely healthy and hale hatchlings, including the twin amber dragonets from the oddly colored gold egg. Though smaller at hatching than golds, the twins are unmistakeably of Gold heritage but with a curious green sheen over their bodies. They are assumed to have all the other characteristics of Gold dragons but until the twins rise to mate for the first time, it will not be known for certain.

However after the flight it soon became obvious that the new Weyrleader was worse than ineffective... he was apathetic, leaving the entire running of the Weyr in the Weyrwoman's overworked hands. The wings were disorganized and the weyrfolk disheartened so when Shayeth rose to mate again, a mere 7 months after her last flight, everyone hoped for a new Weyrleader and were not disappointed. Bronze Drumth caught Shayeth, making Ry'er the new Weyrleader.

Will the older bronzerider who does not believe thread is going to return make a better leader than the ineffectual F'tal? The jury is still out, but everyone is sure that he could be no worse, even if he doesn't believe. Now, as Turn's End quickly approaches, Carew is again poised on the eve of two new clutches and a new dawn for the Weyr. What exciting new events will happen in the new Turn? Join us and find out!

~Current Events~

~Lianarlath and senior queen Shayeth both rose to mate within three days of each other. This means there will be a double clutch on the sands of Carew for the first time in many turns!
~A surprise plot event is in the works!
~The litter of tunnelcats are ready to be adopted!
~Carew will be having a hatching starting February 26th! We are in need of candidates of both genders. Any candidates created by 2/19/10 will have an excellent chance of impressing!
~Players of candidates are Carew are permitted to express color preferences for their characters. Want one of your candidates to ride bronze? Put it on the sheet. Want anything but green? Indicate that too. Crazy over non-canons? Tell us!

Carew Weyr is now accepting applications for candidates, mature riders, weyrfolk and crafters. With a hatching recently past, there are still some newly hatched dragonets available to adopt. There are also many ranking positions available for which to apply.

Will the older bronzerider who does not believe thread is going to return make a better leader than the ineffectual F'tal? The jury is still out, but everyone is sure that he could be no worse, even if he doesn't believe. With the double clutch of 60 eggs just recently hatched, including a new queen and a new mutation, Turn's end just ahead and hungry hatchlings and weyrlings to feed, Carew's supplies are being stretched extremely thin. Something must happen, and soon or the situation will become desperate.

~Current Events~

~One of junior queen Lianarlath's eggs hatched out a surprising dragonet that seemed at first to be blue, but the brown and bronze markings not to mention his metallic sheen indicated he was another genetic aberration from the plague. The young Hematite, as he calls himself, seems to have characteristics of all the male dragons, but he carries himself with a distinct aura of authority. Only time will tell what rank this new color will hold.
~Weyrwoman Faedra is pregnant with the Weyrleader's child.
~Though the hatching is over, there are still NPC dragonets to adopt and we are always looking for mature riders.
~At Carew we allow our members to indicate preferences for impression. Are you crazy over non-canons? Tell us. Do you want anything but green? Put it on your sheet. Do you prefer metallic? Make a note of it. All of our hatchlings are created especially for the candidate they impress to.
~A tithing train has entered the Weyr. What motives could the holders possibly have in sending a train when most all of Pern says thread will never return? Join us and find out!

Bronze Drumth caught the senior queen, making Ry'er the new Weyrleader. The bronze proved himself with a clutch of 39 eggs, including a gold.

The older bronzerider has proven to be a quite good Weyrleader so far, but he will surely be challenged anew due to the Red Star being sighted. The Red Star was bracked by the Eye Rock on Winter Solstice, signaling the beginning of the Pass! Everyone is shocked, but no one more so than the Weyrleader, who was privately convinced Thread was no more after 400+ turns of thread-free life.

Though there are 41 ten and a half month old senior Weyrlings, and 60 three month old junior Weyrlings, the Weyrs are all sadly understaffed due to the plague of a turn ago. How will they manage come the spring when thread begins to fall again? And with a Weyrwoman who is 6 months gone with child, will there even be enough golds to fly a queen's wing? Will the Weyrleader brush off even the appearance of the Red Star as an anomaly?

Tune in to Carew Weyr to find out the answers to these questions and any others you may have.

~Current Events~


~The Turnover celebration is still in progress.
~Amber Talaith has laid her clutch of 12 including a coveted amber egg. Her twin, Sialaeth has also clutched, producing 9 eggs including a gold!
~For the first time ever there will be both a gold egg and an amber egg on the sands at the same time. The hatching will start November 12, 2010 so get your candidates submitted for a chance at impression.
~At Carew we allow our members to indicate preferences for impression. Are you crazy over non-canons? Tell us. Do you want anything but green? Put it on your sheet. Do you prefer metallic? Make a note of it. All of our hatchlings are created especially for the candidate they impress to.
