Solaria Weyr
Founded in Turn 165 of the Sixth Interval, Solaria Weyr was the seventh Weyr of Pern. Though planned to house the overspill of other Weyrs, it was also a Weyr in its own right, and would protect its own land. It was established in an extinct volcano on the Southern continent, on a tip of land by near Great Bay. Riders were eager to request a transfer to it when it was populated, lured by the prospect of tropical weather.
Now, Solaria finds itself a Turn away from the Eighth Pass. Clutches have started to become more frequent and larger in size, and thanks to the insistence of Weyrleaders throughout the Interval, traditional training has been upheld, meaning that the Weyr is ready to face Thread when it returns. Not that everyone shares this view – small pockets of people are certain that Thread has gone forever, there having been almost 200 Turns without it. Other recent events, within the last ten Turns, include females Impressing to greens and even to blues, though the latter is still extremely rare. Even female Impressions to green are not that common – old ways of thinking are still holding strong in some places, and girls are often forbidden by their families to accept Search when there is no gold egg. Likewise, many Crafts are prejudiced against female members.
Solaria Weyr is a canon, AU role-play game based on the ‘Dragonriders of Pern’ series of books by Anne McCaffrey. Our aim is to provide a fun game with interesting plots that involve everyone, no matter what character they may play. This is the second incarnation of canon Solaria Weyr, and some of our history reflects what has occurred in the first incarnation.
Presently, we are particularly looking for a number of character concepts. We have one female bluerider available, several female greenriders, and are also taking applications for a goldrider. We are also seeking characters to fill Wingleader and Wingsecond positions, among others. A full list can be seen here
Our next up-coming event is a Turnover celebration towards the end of August. After that, the Senior gold Ilayth will be clutching, and spring games will also soon be upon us. We also have a number of plots planned.

Hope to see you around!
