[ ]hatching grounds;
An off shoot of the ground level ring, this cavern is accessible to all from the weyrbowl. Inside are many large dragon couches from which dragons may watch as well as separated Stands for human viewers. The Stands are separated by a six foot wall from the baby dragons for the protection of the audience.

[ ]candidate barracks;
Located on the second ring from the top, the candidate barracks is the home of both weyrbred and holdbred candidates until the Clutch hatches. The lesson room for candidates is also in this area.

[ ]library;
A massive library that has been collecting endless knowledge for turns. An archivist's dream and a candidate or weyrling's worst nightmare. Endless knowledge can be found in its multitudes of shelves.

(Currently restricted and closed off to all but the Weyrleader and Weyrwoman after the creature attack. Please get permission from an ADMIN before rping here.)
00
[ ]infirmary;
The infirmary located on the third ring is under control of the Weyrhealer and Weyrdragonhealer. Sick and injured dragons have plenty of space to convalesce and every person gets their own private room unless the infirmary is super busy. Interns from Healer Hall come to the weyr so there is no shortage of Healers.

[ ]rider weyrs;
The rider weyrs dominate the upper rings of the weyr for the most part. They are large dwellings for the dragonriders of Pern and each features a weyrledge that could comfortably house two average sized bronzes at the same time. These ledges look over the weyrbowl and the lake there but generally don't get enough sun to be good for sunning.

[ ]wherhandler apartments;
The wherhandler apartments are buried deep in the weyr on the ground level ring, an off shoot of the weyrfolk apartments. Going to the wherhandlers' domain is like descending into a deep, dark pit. What few glows line the halls are kept at their dimmest setting for sensitive wher eyes. The apartments themselves are very nearly lightless as well. It is highly suggested to have a wherhandler escort or else you may be lost in a maze of darkness.

[ ]weyrbowl;
In the center of the mountain weyr lies the weyrbowl. It is here that caravans and the like will drop off their goods. In the center of the bowl itself lies a large cavern lake, fed by one large and numerous small spring fed waterfalls. This lake may not have fish but it is certainly alive with small organisms. The lake is kept cool by the nature of the weyr's design.

High in the mountains are a group of natural hot springs that feed hot water to the weyr below them. A popular spot for relaxation, though you'll certainly need a dragon to reach them.

Sprawling on the far side of the mountains, the desert is blisteringly hot, the dust grayish and unpleasantly gritty, and the shelter all but nonexistant, far from the desert oasis of one's dreams.

Every candidate dreams of one day impressing on these sands. It is unwise to visit the place uninvited -even when empty, the hatching sands are well guarded by those who consider it a sacred place.

[ ]candidate barracks;
When a prospective dragon rider is tithed to the Weyr, they take up residence in the Candidate barracks on the lower south side of the bowl. Here, they learn the basics of what is means to be a dragon rider while waiting for the clutch to hatch.

Situated low on the eastern side of the bowl is the Weyrling barracks. Until the day their dragons are fully grown, weyrlingriders live and attend classes here. The stairs are broad and the hallways spacious to ensure that dragons of all sizes can pass through them with ease.

[ ]infirmary;
The infirmary located on the west side of the bowl is under control of the Weyrhealer and Weyrdragonhealer. Numerous interns from Healer Hall assist the two in their duties in mending the maladies of the weyr. Within are large spaces for dragons to convalesce as well as private and semi-private rooms for the humans. The infirmary is always well stocked in supplies and very organized.

Nowhere near as big as Selenitas' massive library Inverness regardless has a respectable one. Strict records of everything are kept and can be found here, along with books and ink, hide, and parchment. There is much knowledge to be found here if only one chooses to look.

[ ]weyrbowl;
In the very center of the hollowed out volcanic crater lies the weyrbowl. Near the center of the weyrbowl is a water-filled depression kept full by rain and melted snow. One would be tempted to call it a lake -and in fact many do- but neither fish nor plankton make their home in the mildly salty waters. Constantly warmed by the lava flowing deep beneath the weyrbowl’s surface, steam can often be seen rising from it when the weather turns bitter cold. This is a favourite bathing spot for many dragons and their riders.

[ ]the skies;
The sky extends far above Inverness Weyr, but is never still for long, for drills, mating flights, and mere pleasure flights will all be found here. When the winter storms darken the skies above the weyr it is best to remain indoors. More then one rider pair has frozen to death by being caught in the harsh elements.

[ ]feeding pens;
For the most part, herdbeasts are kept in the valleys surrounding the weyr where they can graze and reproduce under the watchful eye of their crafters. However, a few herds can always be found milling about behind the wrought iron fences on the bowl’s south side.
00
[ ]the stables;
While runners are not common at the mountainous weyr, there are a few that live here and they can be found in the Stables. It is far more common for mules, donkeys and the like to reside here though as they do better at traversing the sheer sides of the surrounding mountains.
00
[ ]watch stones;
Surrounding the rim of the volcano are large towering rock monoliths. These are the watchstones. It is here that the the watch dragons carry out their job watching the skies for arrivals and announcing them to the proper authorities.

<< Surrounding Inverness >>
[ ]the mountains;
A spine of tall, snowy mountains dominates the area around Inverness Weyr. The nights can be harsh and unforgiving, especially when the winter comes. Sheer drops, glacial rivers and predators pepper the slopes with danger, making it a beautiful but deadly addition to the northern landscape.

[ ]hot springs;
High in the mountains of Inverness you can find a group of natural hot springs that are kept warm by the lava flowing under the rock below them. Unlike the springs at Selenitas you do not need a dragon to reach them. In fact there are well worn trails up into the mountain where they lie. Be sure to bring warm clothes however. Even in the Northern summer it remains cold enough in the mountains for fresh snow to blanket the area around the springs at fairly regular intervals.

[ ]the valleys;
Speckled between the mountains surrounding Inverness weyr are deep and lush valleys. Most of these valleys have small mountain streams running through them and are covered with forests of thick pine trees. Be cautious in these wild places however. They can be as dangerous as any jungle in the right conditions and are near impassible in the dead of the harsh northern winter.

[ ]inverness river;
The swift moving river that cuts through the mountains on Inverness Weyr's east side provides the weyrfolk with a constant source of clean water. This is not the kind of river you would want to go swimming in however. Apart from the strong current and intermittent rapids, it is also icy cold.

[ ]bitra hold;
Bitra Hold absolutely hates Inverness and only acknowledges the Weyr at all during times of threadfall. Inverness has been working tirelessly since it's founding to improve the hold and cleanse it. However it is a slow and agonizing process mired deep in political drama. As such most parts of Bitra still are destitute and terrible places to reside in.

Surprisingly Ruatha Hold is now becoming one of the most supportive northern holds when it comes to the new weyr. Likely because of the lush land and runners that need thread protection. The hold now holds rather frequent gathers for the north and seems to be growing at a decent rate.
