I'm proud to tell you all that the product of me and a great circle of friends' work is now open to the public!

Welcome to Aerten Weyr!

We are a literate 3rd person, AU Pern-based RP-forum! Lovingly peiced together by a group of wonderful minds!

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, during the fifth interval, G’lion of bronze Abranth flew Aerten’s Senior Queen, Eliath. In the first few months of G’lion’s leadership, he participated in a childish argument with the Lord Holder of Crom, and refused to fly Thread 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. G’lion 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 G’lion’s serious lack of sense. Only Arion stood by them, “For Gale’s sake.” The Lord Holder declared.

After his initial hiccup, G’lion 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. G’lion and Abranth have since died, but Gale leads the Weyr on. Aerten still flies Thread over Crom, Nabol, Ruatha, and Arion; they feel honor-bound to do so and repent for their past leader’s failings.

We currently have 3 fertile queens that will be rising shortly to produce clutches for any hopeful candidates. Also, since we have just opened, we are in need of Green, Blue, and Brown riders.

So! If you're into dragons and RPing, please come give us a shot!
