Pern. Once a Utopian society protected by the Dragonriders of the Weyr from the impending threat of Thread - a dangerous spore shed by the satellite planet of the Red Star. The days of peace have long since ended, and now Benden and Fort - the only remaining Weyrs in the North - turn against each other for control of the world.
Protected by the pacifistic Weyr called Selenitas, the Southern continent seeks one thing and one thing only - to remain at peace. But pacifism in a world torn by war is rarely well received, and Selenitas is no exception. How long they can remain free is the question - and every day a new threat rises to challenge just that effort.
The skins of Selenitas Weyr were created by Jayme and/or Ruby, drawing inspiration from sites like Hogwarts: The Enchanted Curse and Obsidian Butterfly. Other codes are by Swangii. Please don't steal; we won't be grateful!

all for one;
Following the earthquake, a damaged and bleeding Selenitas was approached by Burimyu riders, offering food and shelter... but old and new prejudices are cropping up once again.
light in the dark;
Gold Eikask runs and clutches this month. With a monster still lurking in the dark, will her children make it to adulthood?
one candle;
Millieth's latest clutch has hatched and impressed, and for once all the dragonets were hale and whole. Is this the first flicker of the Senior Gold's recovery? Or just an anomaly?
a calendar of events;
1/6 - Nighttime Jungle Plot « The forest around Selenitas is getting pretty restless lately. What's going on in the dark of the night?

candidate barracks; Welcome to the Weyr, Candidates -- these Barracks will be your home until Impression. The Lessons Room is also located in the Barracks.
weyrling barracks; The home of the Weyrlings until they learn to fly, the Weyrling Barracks is situated comfortably near the Hatching grounds. There is both a lessons room and a feeding room attached for easy care of dragonets.
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 councilmembers after the creature attack. Please get permission from an ADMIN before rping here.)

infirmary; Ahh, the smell of redwort and numbweed in the mornings...it is this delectable scent that greets those that have been injured, be it their own clumsiness or in a bout of bravery.
rider weyrs; A series of weyrledges can be spotted along the walls of the mountain weyr. The ledges looking over the weyrbowl's center lake, the home of Selenitas' legendary dragons.
wherhandler apartments; The home of both wherhandlers and wherlings can be found in a series of converted rooms near the weyrfolk apartments. What with the lack of any lighting, it's certainly an imposing spot... Moderator: Ember
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.
the skies; (1 sub-board) The sky stretches far above Selenitas Weyr, but is never still for long, for Drills, Flights, and mere pleasure flights will all be found here.
watchheights; Situated on craggy outcroppings, located on the side of the very mountain the weyr resides in, this is where the watch dragons carry out their job.
burimyu river; Retaining the name the exiles gave to the weyr when first discovered, this mountain spring fed river runs from the high mountains to Blossom Lake.
the stables; While runners are not common at the Weyr, the few that live here can be found in the Stables. Many are privately owned; others can be ridden by any and all.
the jungle; (1 sub-board) Surrounding most of Selenitas is a thick, lush jungle. The perfect example of a tropical rainforest, it's humid, warm, and dense...and has, on occasion, been popular among the wild felines.
hot springs; 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.
the mountains; Beyond the rainforest on Selenitas's eastern side lies a fairly impressive mountain range, green on the near side and mostly barren cliffs on the far side.
0
0
the desert; 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.

« the holds »
southern hold; A Hold not at all enthusiastic about the Weyr and dragonriders, Southern Hold holds Gathers only occasionally.
0
0
selenitas hold; Arguably the most supportive Hold when it comes to the Weyr, Selenitas Hold holds frequent Gathers, and welcomes Searchriders.
0
0
blossom hold; An exceptionally cheerful Hold, Blossom is the home of the Lake Dolphin Hall. And such a happy Hold has the Gathers that one would expect from it -- frequent, and extravagent.
hyphen hold; A solemn mining Hold, Hyphen may not be the best allies to the Weyr, which is tolerated at best. Gathers are infrequent, and Searches are not received well.
0
0
lighttower hold; Despising Selenitas, Lighttower Hold only grudgingly acknowledges the Weyr at all. Riders are forbidden to Search or participate in Gathers here at all.
