[RPG_Player_Sanctuary] Plague and Threadfall and Drama, oh my!

Monday, March 7, 2011

Are you an experienced Dragonriders of Pern RPer looking for a new and interesting game? Or are you new to Pern and want to give the world a try? Do you like overarching plots and arcs with some quality character interaction thrown in?

A new weyr is starting up and needs players and characters of all types. We need a Weyrling Master and a Candidate Master, and the senior queen will be rising soon and picking a new Weyrleader. The junior queen's clutch will be laid shortly after gameplay begins, so of course we need Candidates.

Read about the Weyr below and then check out our website at https://sites.google.com/site/highreaches4thpass/. Feel free to email the BoD (hrweyr4thpass@gmail.com) with any questions you might have.

It is the Fourth Pass, and plague has taken more from the Weyrs of Pern than Threadfall.

The sickness started in the heart of the Northern Continent, at Igen Hold, and spread to every Weyr, Hold, and Hall. It has been going on for ten Turns, and only now may be subsiding. But nearly half of the population succumbed to this disease – and for whatever reason, most of those were men. Everyone lost someone to this terrible plague.

A conclave was called to decide the direction that rebuilding and regrouping would take, coming away with drastic, harsh recommendations that were deemed absolutely necessary for life under the current system to continue. Holds were to close and the populations move into the Weyrs. Two Weyrs were to close - Igen and Ista, two of the hardest hit by the plague.

High Reaches Weyr has lost two Weyrwomen to this plague – one at its beginning, and one at its end. Now Ikene and gold Aveiranth are taking over, with Aveiranth due to rise soon and choose a new Weyrleader. Many positions have been filled by inexperienced riders, some golds and bronzes have been transferred to other weyrs, and the displaced riders from Igen and Ista need to be integrated into their new homes.

With the future of the weyr in doubt, all eyes are on Aveiranth to produce a strong clutch. Many are troubled by the large number of female Candidates the Weyr has had to field to ensure that every dragon finds their lifemate, drastically increasing the number of women on blues. Some argue that it's only a matter of time before a brown chooses a woman, and others just hope for a healthy clutch with strong bronzes.
