In the wake of the battle that occurred after the hatching of the Starseeker dragonets, life is continuing. The remaining renegades have been folded into the Weyr, and, while there is certainly tension, they have been given an acceptable situation of limited privileges mixed with warm beds and good food. A meeting of all the weyrleaders has been set to happen at Dalibor to address the battle and other events that have happened.
2/6/10 - An activity check has started. Auditions for a new Kingrider and players for characters in a future plot thread have been opened. The flight rules have been altered with a note on off-camera flights.
1/29/10 - Dalibor is now over a year old! A year and ten days, in fact! Hurrah! Congratulations to all those who had a candidate Impress at the hatching!

Not only does Thread again plague Pern, but colossal natural disasters are cropping up, a strange new species stirs in the depths of the ocean, and egg thieves lurk in the shadows.

Weyr Bowl A carved out top of a mountain that dominants its island location to the north of the Western Continent, Dalibor’s bowl has sheer, smooth sides from where the river that runs through it has slowly decayed away the rock. Shaped like a teardrop, the far side has walls that are high and steep, hiding the larger caverns, they slowly become lower until they are fade out at the other end. There the river runs through and offers an entrance way on foot to either side of it. The bowl is wide and open, offering a clear view of the Weyr from either end.
Weyr Lake At the far end of the bowl, a waterfall falls from the high top of the wall and into a pool that has formed at the base. After the pool narrows out, it turns into the wide lake that serves that Weyr and forms a smaller version of the shape of the bowl, a teardrop. It is not overly deep, even at its center, despite the fact that it fills a large percentage of the bowl's floor. Before the feeding grounds and near the entrance way to the Weyr, the lake tapers into the river that continues the one that began the waterfall.
Kitchen & Dining Hall The bustling, expansive kitchen is the underbelly of the Weyr with its many warm hearths and often abundant enticing scents. On busy days, the dining hall is entirely overlooked, often just a lonely little cavern when everybody chooses to eat in the kithcen or elsewhere. However, it marks the place for feasts and revelries on special occasions, and the few scuffs marks on the floor mark a mixture of both very happy and very sad memories. This is the lifeblood and center of the Weyr, playing the part of its heart and soul.
Lower Caverns Work rooms, storage caves, guest quarters, and rooms for the weybrats and people of the Weyr, the lower caverns lie below the riders and their weyrs. The caves play host to crafters, weyrfolk, and guest of the Weyr. They are all the people with no dragon, or a wher, besides those chosen to stand to Impress one. Dark inside the corridors with few windows, it is reminiscent of one of the northern holds. The infirmary is locate near the kitchen and the quarters for any healers staying at the Weyr. Harpers also get their own space.
Personal Weyrs Located high up on the walls of the bowl and generally accessed by openings at the front, the personal weyrs play home to the dragonriders of Dalibor. From the large ones for Weyrwomen with the record room nestled amongst them by the hatching sands to the smaller weyrs nearer the entrance path were the fighters typically live, they come in all sizes and all different forms. There is no consistent factor to them besides the fact they contain a cave with a couch for dragons and a room for their riders.
Weyrlings' Barrack Left of the lake, this large, one-story building made of metal and stone is where young dragons and their riders grow up and begin their training. Divided into two corridors, one for the girls and one for the boys, there is enough space for several large hatchings of weyrlings. Each room is designed with plenty of space (most greens and some blues would be able to fit inside) for either a pair of smaller dragonets or one larger dragonet, and their riders. They are simply furnished with string beds, cots, and chests.
Wherhandler Quarters Occupying most of the space in the lower caverns not actually filled by lower cavern caves, the quarters for the wherhandlers mixes small, enclosed rooms with long, dark corridors. Much of the space back away from from the bowl is dedicated to giving space to work with the whers. The larger caves that have been carved out offer training quarts and lounges for the pairs that typically prefer the dark and quiet. The winding tunnels offer plenty of space to run and patrol.
Wherlings' Barrack Unlike the other barracks, the wherling’s barrack takes up another section of the lower caverns, by the wherhandler quarters. Running along one long hallway that branches at one end into the wher caverns and the bowl at the other, small rooms dot the walls in alcoves. If there are many wherlings, roommates might be required, but generally everyone gets there own room. A bowl in the floor offers a place for a wher to sleep well humans get a cot and chest.

Candidates' Barrack Right of the lake, this building is divided into two sections in order to keep male and female candidates somewhat separate. Wher candidates are located near the back while dragon candidates tend to fill up most of the space. Each small room has a bunkbed in it and a couple of chests for the belongings of the two occupants. The location of the barrack is extremely close to the ground entrance to the hatching sand to make the run short, come hatching time.
Hatching Sands The largest cavern in the entire Weyr holds the hatching sands where eggs are laid to harden. Most of the floor is dominated by the expansive hot sands that are kept in by a small lip of stones. There’s enough room to hold the clutches of a couple of Queens. Most of the rest of the floor is covered by a set of benches surrounded by a wall that serve as the spectators' stands. Higher up on the wall are tiered ledges for dragons and riders.
Western Hold Located on the bay that comes off the strait, near its southern end, Western Hold was the first hold on the Western Continent and the only firmly established one. They play host to a major Harperhall and a major Fisherhall. Located both on top of and inside the cliffs, the hold mainly utilizes the bay as a harbor and the fish edible fish that are abundant in the nearby waters. The terrain is heavily wooded around them, better for collecting timber then any sort of farming.
Crescent Hold Though the main part of Crescent Hold is largely complete, this is the later of the two holds on the Western Continent and not as established. Still, it holds its own and lays claim to having a major Dolphinhall and a major Minerhall. The dolphins prove useful in the surprisingly warm waters of Crescent Bay where the hold is located. The miners make use of few mines on the continent. Farmland is beginning to yield near the hold and the fishing is good.
Open Skies The open skies of Pern, from the clear blue expanse above the Southern Continent, to the brisk crisp winds of the Northern Continent, to the bitter unexplored airs above the Western Continent, and even the windy, spirally storms above the seas. This is where mating dragons take flight with suitors in their wakes, where wings rise up to defend Pern, and where a dragon can take a lazy afternoon glide. The skies of anywhere offer endless possibilities.
Western Continent Though the smallest one of Pern’s three continents, the Western Continent is largely unexplored once you move off the beaches. The lowlands are largely temperate rainforests or drier woods with ancient growth. Moving up into the higher lands, the continent becomes filled with low mountains amongst stretches of plateaus with dry, windy plains. Though both the southern and northern beaches are very hospitable, the strait that splits the continent is lined with rocky cliffs.
Western Ring Islands All of the ring islands are largely unrecorded. The eastern ones play host to the holdless. The western ones extend down in a slight arc from the bottom end of the Western Continent. Though the northern ones tend to be larger and mountainous, the smaller southern and middle islands tend to be very warm and tropical. Still, the waters near the beaches can be treacherous with unexplored hazards and the islands are veiled with mystery. Few bother to go to them.
