Renewal of Pern: Pernworld

Its been a hundred and fifty years since AIVAS aided the Pernese in destroying thread once and for all. And Pern is struggling to reinvent itself. For over 2500 turns the graceful dragons have fought thread in the skies. What are their riders to do when there is no more thread to fight? What do soldiers do without an enemy to defend against?

This is the golden age of pern, and yet there are still dangers out there. Natural disasters and renegades are common problems, dud dragon eggs are more common, and the queens lay far fewer than they did in the days of golden Ramoth.

Pern is undergoing a drastic, beautiful and sometimes violent metamorphosis. Dragonriders don't always live in Weyrs anymore, and are permitted to hold a rank in the crafthalls (though they cannot hold mastery.) Dolphineers ply the waters with their partners, guiding the seacrafters through rough weather. The Yokohama has become a space station and observatory. Landing is a bustling center of education and research. Ierne Island has become a trading post for craftriders out to make an independant living. Xanadu is home to a bustling dragonhealer teaching hospital. The computer, tech, plastic and printercrafts are all thriving.

Pern is finally becoming the peaceful paradise it was meant to be, 2555 turns ago.

This is the world of Aoriya. A wingleader impressed to Divine Passage of Flame brown Omasuth. Brute strong and hot tempered, Aoriya and Omasuth are in charge of Damascin, Igen Weyr's security wing. A journeywoman jeweler and clever with her fingers, Aoriya is a loyal and restless spirit who takes her job, and her duties seriously.

This is the world of Delynni. Formerly in training to be a Runnerbeast jockey, Delynni stood at six hatchings before finally impressing Curious and Clever Moody blue Ryukith at the seventh. A weyrling at Xanadu Weyr, Delynni's impulsive tendancies and Ryukith's insatiable curiousity get them in all kinds of trouble. Delynni's family are all high achieving runnerbreeders, and she comes from a line that has produced more than one Beastmaster over the years. As Ryukith grows to adulthood, Delynni struggles to grow and define her own path both as a rider and a human being.

This is the world of Kagora. Aoriya's older sister, Kagora is a highly talented gownmaker. After much hard work, Kagora has earned the rank of apprenticemaster in the weavercraft. Calm and down to earth, she is a dedicated mentor to the apprentices she teaches. Kagora's strength is her patience and professionalism, but can she develop a personal life that is equally as rich as her talent?

This is the world of Aeyric, journeyman wherhandler of bronze Aesk. Aeyric is a dreamer, whom some believe looks more like a Harper than a miner. From his earliest days in the craft, Aeyric has been obsessed with discovering what secrets lie beneath the surface of Pern's soil. His pet project is to discover and excavate stone bones and delicate black outlines of leaves long since rotted to the turns. Endlessly curious, Aeyric struggles to gain validity for his theories in a craft that has never been more down to earth. Dreams are for harpers and dragonriders, not for a miner who must keep his eyes on his shovel and his heart in the earth.

This is the world of M'ori, rider of Renegade Nightmare bronze Uluameth. A calm and understated persona, M'ori is the quintessential 'nice guy.' Father of three, weyrmate of his darling greenrider Coselia, M'ori is a weaver struggling to open a clothing shop in bustling Ierne Weyrhold. Fiercely protective of his rider's dreams, Fortian Hatched Uluameth must prod his rider into further reaching ambitions. After all, there is so much more to life than just the mate and children.

This is the world of Odisyn, computercraft apprentice and son of M'ori. Odisyn struggles to make his own way in a chaotic Fort Weyr, much more so than when his father flew in its Simurgh wing. Odisyn must represent a craft that is not always welcome in a Weyr that could not be more traditional. In order to survive, and thrive, in his new post, Odisyn must look past professional ethics and strike a balence between the new technology and the benefits his craft could provide and the tradition that first drew him to Fort Weyr.

This is the Pern of peace, this is the pern of turmoil, this is the pern the founders envisioned, before their dreams dissolved in a silver hail of hell.
