Badlands Weyr

[Badlands]

INDEX .|. HISTORY .|. DRAGONS .|. AVAILABILITY .|. ADVERTISE

The attempts to eradicate thread have proven successful, and the dragonriders of the past have gone down in the histories as forever ridding Pern of it's mightiest foe. However, they're also the reason for something much worse. While the planet had been saved from Thread, the change made t the red star's orbit has drastically affected the world in a terrifying way. Pern sunk into an ice age, of sorts, and all of that can be beautifully blamed on those brave women and men who destroyed Thread.

The world is cold. Dragons had shrunk to adapt to the change over the turns, the behemoths of the old days are no more. Colors sprang up eventually, new colors that were far more adaptable to this barren, freezing planet. Technology is scarce, the information provided by AIVAS lost throughout the turns as Holds, Halls and Weyrs had to close their doors, abandon their buildings and band together in Weyrholds. A clever disease wrecked through the dragonriders, and those that were sent out into the cold didn't always get the satisfaction of dying right away.

Outside of the Weyrholds are the Outlanders, bands of once disease ridden individuals who managed to survive and thrive out in the harsh landscape of Pern. The Outlanders are a dangerous threat, they're unpredictable and move surprisingly fluid amongst themselves. They strike periodically at the Weyrholds for supplies, raiding whatever they can.

At Badlands, arguably the most well-off Weyrhold of this new Pern, the Senior Queen is egg heavy with a new clutch, but more interestingly is the batch of riders that are claiming they're from the future. They're saying that their future is even worse, facing even more hardships, and it's dependent on whatever work they do here, in the present, to fix it. Have the riders simply lost their wits to the cold, or is there some shard of truth buried in all of this? And, if there is, what exactly are their intentions?


--------------

Badlands Weyr is a Semi-Canon Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay! We're centered in an AU setting Post-AIVAS. Impression is not sexuality based (like at all), plots are open ended and decided by player interaction and hey! We froze Pern! We've just had our first on-screen leadership Flight, where a young gold has chosen a young bronze. In the wake of the recent attacks, is this really a safe bet? It seems the Head Guard is gearing up, drawing all his people away from the Weyrleadership and hoarding all firestone and weaponry. Things are quiet, but for how long? With all this turmoil in the ranks, will Badlands be ready for the next attack? With a Queen egg in this clutch, will the Future Rider's prediction of attack come to fruition?

The hatching was attacked by the Outlanders! While they didn't manage to kill any of the baby dragons; in fact, they seemed bent on taken them. What could this mean?

A scant turn ago, Badlands was arguably the most well-off Weyrhold that still existed on Pern. The Outlanders' wrath unfolded quickly. After two botched attempt to savage hatching and stealing weyrlings, they have changed tactics. Prisoners taken by the wings have indicated they have a Queen, though the proof did not come until a small clutch was found, and stolen. Retaliation was quick and deadly; right before snowfall, the crops and harvests have been burned! How will Badlands fight off the Outlanders and survive the winter?

Badlands Weyrhold is a Semi-Canon Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay! We're centered in an AU setting Post-AIVAS. Impression is not sexuality based; our plots are open ended and decided by player interaction. There has just been a massive political upheaval in the wake of an Outlander attack! After the crops were burned and ruined, the Weyrsecond called the council to dispose of the Weyrleader and appoint a temporary leader until the next leadership Flight. The Guarded has ceded from the Weyrhold and declared itself its own entity, resulting in some members leaving. But what does this mean for the Weyrhold? Will it result in a rift?

We are about to start our plot arc: The War of the Damned. There are SEVEN plot characters lined up for play with colors all over the spectrum. They are categorized by activity expected, and each character has edited line art specifically for that character. The outcome of this plot will shape the face of Badlands as we know it.
