In the Second Interval of Pern's youthful history, there had been peace and a wave of cultural enlightenment as it were, the focus of people on the expansion of arts, wisdom, politics, and pursuits of pleasure. In recent turns however, it's been rumoured that as the Red Star draws near to them, its effects are not only being seen within the changes to Pern itself, but perhaps also within its people.
Unrest has been stirring as political views on Thread's return, turns into an ever widening gap in beliefs, which threatens Pern's traditions. This has been the cause for Telgar's struggles with the resurgence of a Rebel force who plagued them in the past. The group tried to create war between Igen and Telgar, but having been unsuccessful, they are now focused on trying to put a stop to the collective Weyr efforts of rebuilding Igen before Tread returns. The Chorong Rebels are not the only threat to Telgar's peace, however. Telgar Hold found itself indebted to an Exile who claims to be of Telgar Hold Blood, asking that in repayment, he be restored a position befitting of his lineage. Political turmoil is unavoidable in the near future as Telgar considers how to handle the issue on a political scale of not only one Exile, but any number of Holdless who might hope to reverse their own situation as outcasts.
Fort Weyr now has a clutch ready to be laid from the maiden flight of its youngest goldrider, with high hopes of a golden egg. Privately, the Holder-bred and highly independent Weyrwoman seeks to abolish the position of Weyrleader. She heads the effort to rebuild Igen Weyr, and will soon be sending transfer riders to populate it.
Southern Boll now plots the murder of the Fort Lord and Lady Holder, as their territories have been in constant border dispute, even if it has not drawn them into war. There is hardly a day that goes by where the border is safe to cross by land; of course it is easier anyway to go by sea. But the sea holds its own dangers in Big Bay, as the captain of a privateering vessel was cast off by Fort's Holder, leaving him to turn to create his own enterprise. Captain Thatch's ship, the Red Star's Revenge, now threatens the trade routes along the coast, only stopping at port to run the local policing forces on a wild goose chase while making off with contraband -which he often uses to supply Telgar's Rebels.
Though Keroon is not plagued by the rebellion that grips nearby Telgar, it is not exempt from corruption created by greed. In their recent past, Keroon's Lord Holder had children by two of his wife's handmaids since the Lady Holder was barren. Able to vie for greater position of power for their own families, the circumstance turned into secretive plots against one another in order to secure the future position of their own children. Their lies and deceit turned into the deaths of both the Lord and Lady Holder as well as the mother of his twin boys. The twins being forced into hiding to survive further attack by their eldest brother, they were protected by those who supported their mother, ensuring that when they were old enough, they would return to reclaim their rightful place and exact revenge on their brother for the murder of their mother. In order to set the stage for the return of the twins, the late Lady Holder's handmaid now heads a Trade organization that relies heavily on the Beastcraft trade, called the Dragon's Venture, that has been the front for their existence as the young Heirs have grown up.
