~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to Aerten Weyr ([link])! A less than conventional Weyr set in the 6th Pass in a large ravine between High Reaches and Telgar. Set on a Pern where traditional colors are finding themselves fighting side by side with a whole new set of dragons and fire lizards.
During the second interval, Telgar and High Reaches found themselves overpopulated. Coupled with a rather virulent strain of differing opinions, this led to the Aerten project. A group comprised of members from both mother Weyrs set out to form their own. They found a large ravine between the mother Weyrs and slightly south of High Reaches. After exploring it further, they decided it was ideal and set to work. They named it Aerten. Before long, a man from Ruatha discovered a nearby area to be perfect for raising runners and established Arion Hold.
Turns later, at the end of the fifth interval, Glion of bronze Abranth flew Aertens Senior Queen, Eliath. In the first few months of Glions leadership, he participated in a childish argument with the Lord Holder of Crom, and refused to fly the first Threadfall over the Mine Hold. The Weyr was appalled and a few of the junior bronzes attempted to fly Thread without their Weyrleader. But to no avail. Glion and Abranth literally forced them to stay grounded. Eliath was on the Sands at the time, forcing the Weyrwoman to become a spectator. The Queen tried to make Abranth stop, but he would not listen to her, and Eliath was too gentle a creature to force him. Telgar flew Thread over Crom that day. The Weyrs and Holds of Pern held a council and outcast Aerten Weyr for Glions serious lack of sense. Only Arion stood by them, For Gales sake. The Lord Holder declared.
After his initial hiccup, Glion repented and strove to make up for his actions; he made a complete 180 and refused to stop flying Thread even if the rest of Pern no longer expected him to. He enacted many provisions to keep the Weyr running. He found land for the Weyr to grow crops of their own, thus becoming semi-self-sufficient. He also found and organized a series of mines around the Weyr to provide firestone to the Weyr. At the same time, Gale tried to patch things with the other Weyrs and Holds, dedicating her life to the task, but to no avail. Glion and Abranth have since died, and Gale has retired. Roughly thirty years after G'lion's folly, Aerten still flies Thread over Crom, Nabol, Ruatha, and Arion despite Pern's feelings on the issue; they feel honor-bound to do so and repent for their past leaders failings.
Aerten Weyr Dragon Colors, Sizes, and Ranks
Gold Queens (female with female riders): The first in the dragon hierarchy and largest of the dragons of Pern. Golds vary from yellow-green to the color of polished gold metal. Gold Queens control all the other colors not only for their size but because of how strong minded a Queen is. They help with keeping order within the Weyr when there is Thread or not. They check up on all dragons and check up with all the humans that live within the Weyr. They do not produce flame like the other colors for chewing firestone will make a Queen infertile to produce any clutches. Golds will rise to mate two times a year, and produce a clutch of twenty to forty eggs at a time. A fully mature Gold is around three Turns of age and ready to mate Queen is around one to two Turns of age. From nose tip to tail tip a Gold can measure up to thirty-eight to forty-two meters long.
Silver Queens (female with female riders): The second largest of the dragons of Pern, their skin can be anywhere from sterling silver to dark chrome. Queens in their own right, Silvers hold all the same responsibilities as Gold Queens; like Golds, they do not flame as firestone will make them infertile. Silver Queens rise to mate twice per Turn. The usual size is unknown, but they usually have good quality clutches. A fully mature Silver is around three Turns of age and ready to mate Queen is around one to two Turns of age. From nose to tail tip, a Silver can measure from thirty-eight to forty-two meters long.
Bronzes (male with male riders): The third largest of the dragons of Pern, their skin can vary from true bronze to brown-bronze. Most Bronzes become either Weyrleaders or Wingleaders for the Weyr or Fighting Wings. They are the leaders of the other fighting dragons and help keep order within a Weyr both in times of Thread or in times of peace. Bronze dragons are usually the dragons to fly the Golds, producing large clutches along with a Golden egg. A fully mature and ready to mate Bronze at the earliest age is at one Turn of age. From nose tip to tail tip a Bronze can measure up to thirty-five to thirty-eight meters long.
Crimsons (female with female riders): The fourth largest of the dragons of Pern, Crimsons can vary in color from pale red (not pink) to a deep burgundy. Crimsons are special among the dragons because they are capable of both flaming and clutching. A fully mature, ready to mate Crimson is one Turn old at the earliest. They only rise once per Turn; they clutch small between, 5 to 10 eggs, and never a produce a Queen egg. From nose tip to tail tip, Crimsons measure twenty-five to thirty-five meters long.
Ebonies (female or male with male or female riders): The fifth largest of the dragons of Pern, Ebonies vary in skin tone from dusty black to pure jet. They are usually Wingleaders or Wingseconds in Fighting Wings Female Ebonies flame but do not clutch since firestone makes them infertile. Male Ebonies, like the other male dragons, are not affected by firestone. A fully mature, ready to mate Ebony is one Turn old; females rise to mate once per Turn. Male ebonies usually fly Silvers but will chase other females as well. From nose tip to tail tip, Ebonies can measure from thirty-five to thirty-eight meters long.
Browns (male with male riders): The sixth largest of the dragons of Pern, Browns vary from dark chocolate (brown/black) to light milk chocolate brown. Browns can fly the queens but the clutches are smaller and there is never a Golden egg in the clutch. Most Browns become Wingseconds in a Fighting Wings. Browns are fully mature and ready to mate at earliest age of one Turn. They usually fly Crimsons but will chase other females as well. From nose tip to tail tip a Browns can measure thirty to thirty-five meters long.
Coppers (male with male riders): The seventh largest of the dragons of Pern, Coppers vary in color from bright, burnished copper to a dark bronze-copper. Most Coppers become Wingseconds in Fighting Wings. A fully mature and ready to mate Copper is one Turn old at the earliest. They usually fly Crimsons but will chase other females as well. From nose tip to tail tip, Coppers can measure thirty to thirty-five meters long.
Hazels (female with female riders): The eighth largest of the dragons of Pern, Hazels are brown with an iridescent green sheen. They can be dark brown with a subtle green tint, or a much lighter brown with a very prominent green polish, or vice versa. Hazels fly as Wingriders in Fighting Wings. They are ONLY found in crimson clutches. They are born sterile, but still rise to mate three times every Turn. A fully mature and ready to mate Hazel is one turn old. From nose tip to tail tip, Hazels measure thirty-three to thirty-eight meters long.
Blue (male with male riders or very rarely female with female riders): The ninth largest of the dragons of Pern, Blues vary from navy blue (blue/black) to very light sky blue. Blues are faster and more agile than their larger brothers and usually fly as Wingriders in Fighting Wings. Blues are especially sensitive to potential Candidates and usually fly Search. Blues are fully mature and ready to mate at earliest age of one Turn. Blues usually fly Silvers, but will chase other females as well. From nose tip to tail tip a male Blue can measure up to twenty-five to thirty meters long. Female blues measure from nineteen to twenty-two meters long.
Greens (female with male or female riders): The tenth largest of the dragons of Pern, Greens vary from dark emerald green (green/black) to a very light grass green. Even more agile than blues, Greens also fly as Wingriders in Fighting Wings. Some Greens may fly Search. Since they are so agile, most greens are reckless, able to perform feats larger dragons would not. However, they have much less stamina than their larger relatives. Chewing stone renders Greens infertile, but they still rise to mate three to five times per Turn. A fully mature and ready to mate Green is one Turn old. From nose tip to tail tip, Greens measure twenty to twenty-five meters long.
Greys (female with female riders): The eleventh and one of the smallest of the dragons of Pern, Greys vary from very pale grey to dark, storm-cloud grey. Greys are also fast and agile and also better at going between. They fly as Wingriders in Fighting Wings. Greys are born infertile and have no desire to mate. A fully mature Grey is one Turn old. From nose tip to tail tip, Greys measure fifteen to twenty meters long.
Whites (male with male riders): The twelfth and smallest of the dragons of Pern, Whites vary from pure, pearl white to a dull off-white. Whites are also fast and agile and also better at going between. They fly as Wingriders in Fighting Wings. Whites are born infertile and have no desire to mate. A fully mature White is one Turn old. From nose tip to tail tip, Whites measure fifteen to twenty meters long.
