Razorclaws.
The guide is unclear on how they react when forcibly removed from their family groups. Would those of us who have the birds have to leave them behind (they do abandon humans when not treated well, and I imagine leaving an established family group would be tougher for some birds than others)? Would they return to the South to mate and lay eggs? Will they just be ok with moving?
Should we think about hatching another female so the egg can be taken north before it hatches, to found a new family group? Or maybe the next whole clutch can be taken north before it hatches for the same purpose?

Or maybe the next whole clutch can be taken north before it hatches for the same purpose? The razorclaws we have are in a sense more domesticated then wild ones since they are raised from hatching. So some of them might be very okay with moving with their 'mother, or father' I think it would depend on your bond with the bird. As far as mating goes I could see them migrating to where they were born for that. I would assume a clutch would yes be taken North to establish a population there at some point. Probably the first clutch after the skip unless one of the females is moved up north with the move.

ONE CLARIFICATION TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM FREAKING OUT OVER HOLDS!
There will be four holds made.
Four in the South
Selenitas Hold Blossom Hold Hyphen Hold Lighttower Hold
AND
Four in the North
Benden Hold Fort Hold Bitra Hold Ruatha Hold
HOWEVER
All the crafters will be moved into either Selenitas Hold in the south or to Benden Hold in the north. So that you will have other people to rp with.
However! If you and someone else would rather move to one of the other holds like Blossom or Brita whatever? I am not going to say no. So you may pick and choose if you desire. :3
Once I have a list of all the crafters I will have a better idea of things as far so moving goes. ^^

How much travel between weyrs will be permitted? I imagine it could be done quickly and easily with the dragons, but will it be allowed? Sorry if I just totally overlooked the answer <3

Sorry if I just totally overlooked the answer <3 With between to use the other weyrs and holds are just a hop skip and a jump away. You are for sure allowed to visit each other in the different holds and weyrs. In fact that is encouraged ^^ It's not war anymore. So there is tons more freedom. Thus plenty more rp opportunities. For example a rider from Inverness could meet a rider from Selenitas in Blossom or Forth Hold for example and rp with each other or a holder there. We are no longer under the oppression of war. So there is tons of freedom. Very good question Sebz <3

Alright, so - just to be clear. And I know you've gone over this already, sorry to be wasting your time. Crafters (this includes non-riders/handlers as well as riders/handlers who have been trained in a craft) will be moved to Benden Hold or Selenitas Hold. They have no choice in which hold they are sent to of the two - unless they want to go to a hold such as Blossom, Bitra, Southern, etc. Correct? Non-crafting dragonriders will be split randomly between Inverness and Selenitas. No choice in the matter. Non-crafting wherhandlers will stay in Selenitas Weyr, for now? I totally didn't pay attention to the wherhandler plot thread with the monsters - were they all killed? If not, they have apparently disappeared for at least five turns? If they were killed off then just ignore this question. Children - will they be sent with their parents if their parents are re-assigned to a different Hold or Weyr? I assume so, just want to be 100% sure. If relationships develop later on between people who are at different Weyrs or Holds - can a rider put in a request to be assigned to the Weyr/Hold the other one is at? Can riders/handlers request to be assigned to different locations for any reason, or is the only eligible reason going to be weyrmates/family? Regarding the tithed Candidates from the Holds. Ages for candidates for dragon clutches are 12-25 - wher clutches are 12-32. However, most families send their kids off to be trained in crafts at like 9 or 10... I don't see it being very likely that many of the Candidates sent to Selenitas/Iverness will be out of their teens - I don't see many 20 somethings being allowed to not learn some sort of craft. Unless I'm just putting way too much importance in the crafts? And if a Candidate comes for a dragon clutch but the dragons say they aren't really dragonrider material, could they then go BUT WAIT and say they want to stay and try to Impress a wher instead of going back to the Hold? In that case, couldn't they end up there til they are like 32?? Weyrfolk - what happens to them? Those who do not know a craft and are not Candidates for any existing or future clutch? Do they get to stay at Selenitas or is it likely some of them will be split up as well? How far can dragons communicate? Such as will dragons still in the South be able to speak to those in the North if they know them? For example will Tserieth still be able to chat up with Henny if they are in separate Weyrs? Or is the distance too far? How close do they have to be in order to communicate? If it is not normally possible for dragons to speak that distance, would it be possible for say Oth and Uth should they get separated since they are twins and have a unique bond? Also what role would the wherhandlers have played in the War? Was going to work on Swithin's history and all I can think to say is he knew it was happening. Other than that and possibly losing some dragonrider friends I can't see how his life would have changed until the Summit. Even then it wouldn't. lol

No they will have some choice. I am hoping that not everyone picks the same hold xD However with things split like they will be I am assuming they will want to be in the hold closest to the majority of their rider friends in the end. So hopefully the holds turn out pretty even. We'll see once I get the rider lists up. ^^ Correct. Yep :3 Eventually we might move a Queen North but for now they are only needed in the South. Mostly to control the creature and predator population since the North does not get felines and the like. There will be a plot involving them after the skip. That's all I can say right now. They are still very much around and the whers probably fight them as commonly as they fight the felines. We will be putting a guide up for them once the board is redone. ^^ Yep ^^ Kiddlets stay with Mommy and Daddy. Or just Mommy or just Daddy if their parents decide to split. That will have to be played out Icly when the board again restarts :3 Only eligible reason right now is weyrmates/kids. We are mixing up riders for a reason. You might not end up at the same weyr your friends do and if not I am sorry But you can still visit your friends at the other weyr and make new ones Yep. Parents will have to make a choice to send their kid off to a craft or keep them from going to craft until 12 on the off chance that they will impress. It should make for some interesting scenarios. No hold candidate stays at the weyr unless there is a hatching. Weyrbred babies will always be at the weyrs but any holdbred ones not suitable will be sent back to the hold unless there are eggs ALREADY on the sands. If the dragons say no for dragons but they want to stand for whers they may let the rider know that and they will be listed for the next wher hatching, but sent back to the hold until then. They will likely be split up as well. ^^ We want a through mixing. Nope dragons in the South cannot speak to dragons in the North. The distance is faaaar to great. Dragon mind speech only goes so far. For example it probably wouldn't stretch any further then the nearest hold and even then the communication would probably be VERY strained and like a whisper. They are not like telephones who can connect anywhere regardless as long as there is a tower. Oth and Uth are special considerations and giving their soooo close bond they will not be split. So you need not worry about that. Yeah the handlers wouldn't have participated in the actual fighting part of the war. Most likely they protected the weyr as they always do. They are important because otherwise the weyr would be over run with predators. Honestly most handlers could give a crap about the dragonwars anyway as it doesn't effect them much. However some of them probably did help with night ops missions as far as scouting out around the Fort area before the actual attack? probably the ones most comfortable with betweening since not all whers like doing it. The older whers probably could have been put to use that way. (none of the current wherlings) So if you want to say Swithin helped with that you could. ^^

A random thought to add to this: I assume that random Impression from baby dragons climbing the stands are still a small possiblity; if that were to happen, and the random dragon chose a crafter, would I be right in assuming that they'd stay at the Weyr for weyrling training and then be assigned to a hold?
No, I'm not planning on this, it was a randomly occuring thought.

No, I'm not planning on this, it was a randomly occuring thought. Yes, that is correct. There might be a small chance for it to be considered a special case or to let the Impressee chose to renounce their craft. But I'd bet on them being sent to a Hold.

Another quick questiopn on candidates (I should stop having baths, it's where I come up with these):
Do candidates get shipped to whatever Weyr has a clutch on, or do they just stay where they were originally tithed to?

They get shipped to the weyr with a clutch and sent back to their Holds if they fail to Impress.

As an example of roughly what we are looking for as far as updates go, Ae'on of Blue Sfelyth has been updated. Only the last two paragraphs of his history have been added (and appearance/personality tweaked).
