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.

Until weyrling dragons are nine months old Weyrlings live here with their young dragons. They are located on the same level as the hatching ground and fairly close to it as well to accommodate freshly hatched dragons. The lecture room is located here as well as a feeding room.

The main hall is the very heart of the weyr located on the ground floor ring. Located here are the kitchens and dining hall, the weyrfolk apartments and the creche, and various store rooms.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

A huge fenced-in area, the Feeding Grounds homes Selenitas's stock of herdbeasts, for the hunting needs of your dragon or wher.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The high stone walls of the great hall are massive and ornate. Used for both casual dining and celebrations, the few loyal drudges who work in the kitchens take pride in saying that come whatever hardships may, the dragonmen will always be able to rely on a good meal.

The holding pens for the new generation of Inverness. If you hazard to roam in these halls step softly and prepare to be randomly ambushed by the enthusiastic weyrbrats.

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.

This is where Inverness’s fully fledged riders and dragons reside. Accessible by weyrledge or staircase, stone couches, running water and private bathing rooms can be found in each weyr, along with any other furnishings it’s occupant may choose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 extravagant.

Hyphen is a very solemn mining Hold. They are not particularly welcoming to dragonriders and don't host that many Gathers. When they do have Gathers, however, they are known for being some of the best Pern has to offer.

Lighttower Hold despises dragonriders. While they can no longer refuse entry to dragonriders the atmosphere is so antagonistic that they might as well.

A solemn hold in the frigid north, Benden is not the best ally to Inverness, but there is no denying that living conditions within the hold and the treatment of its people have improved since the new weyr was founded.

Exceptionally busy at all times there is constant action in this hold. One of the wealthiest of all holds it also houses two major craft halls. Both the Healer and Harper Halls reside within this massive hold. Gathers here are not all too common but when they are hosted they are spectacular enough to be talked about for years to come.

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.

One of the oldest weyrs in the North. Currently abandoned after the Great Dragon War
