New: Greencrater Weyr (free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg, abstract) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 07:13:00 +0000 Name: Greencrater Weyr Email: fishypoo@usa.net Frequency: Whenever you wish.

Last-Update: 2001May27 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg, abstract Description: Greencrater Weyr is located in a lush seaside valley on the Southern Continent of Pern, in the early Turns of the Eigth Pass of the Red Star. Founded by an exiled Queenrider and her egg-heavy Gold, Greencrater is self-sufficient for the most part, because it must be. The Weyrs of the North express, at best, a distant contempt for Greencrater and its renegade Weyrwoman; at worst, it is outright animosity. Arolos Weyr, with whom we share a continent but of whom we are completely autonomous, has too many woes of its own to assist its beleagured sister. All who are willing to forget the past and work towards the future (or at least do a very good job of faking it long enough to do some damage) are welcome in Greencrater. Wanderers, adventurers, outcasts, and exiles make this their home in the Southern wilderness. Though there are no official Holds nor Crafthalls to protect, the oath of the Dragonriders holds tightly to their hearts. Dragonmen must fly when Thread is in the sky, and Greencrater has staked out the territory it will defend, as long as the Riders have breath in their bodies. Wings are being organized among the bare handfuls of experienced Riders, and any competent Rider has a fair shot at being named Wingleader or Second. The remote location and scarcity of all but basic resources has led few Crafters to our door, so that any who arrive are immediately made welcome, from raw apprentice to venerated master. While two adult Queens and one very young Gold Weyrling are quite enough of a breeding population for the fledgling Weyr, they need males to make them happy. An unhappy Queen is NOT something we want, so get your males of any colour in. On the obverse, no Weyr can ever have enough Greens to keep the males happy, and to provide valuable manouverability to the Wings. At the moment, the only characters we DON'T need are: Weyrwoman Weyrleader (subject to change on Maylith's next Mating Flight-- position open to all Bronzes and Browns) Weyrlingmaster (subject to change if and when Kit manages to drive him insane) Candidatemaster (subject to change if and when the Weyrlingmaster carries through on his threats to gut him) Queenriders (Candidates welcome) Anything else, send in a decent application, and you'll likely get the rank/position you want. Come by and join up-- lurkers are very welcome. Any questions can be addressed to me, because, quite frankly, everyone else has a life ^_^ [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
