The Sands of time do not always flow smoothly...
What if they had taken a different path? If Fax had killed F'lar and Lessa and declared war on the dragonmen of Pern? If the Holds had risen up and dragons had keened into the night. If Thread fell and no one fought...
What would have happened to Pern?
Nova Weyr is the answer. Less than a Turn away from the beginning of the 10th Pass and all is not tranquil in the only Weyr on Pern. Having fled to the Southern continent some 250 Turns ago to escape the war in the north, they struggle to maintain the race of dragonkind. A deadly disease, Cloudlung, has ravaged the South, and though the epidemic seems to have tapered off, people and dragon still die from its ravages.
The junior Queen laid 21 Eggs, and they Hatched to both joy and confusion, as the number of dragon colors has now doubled, matching the mutations in whers and firelizards. Is this an adaptation to Cloudlung?
The Weyrleader died last Turn, and now the senior Queen will rise any day, to choose the leader of the wings as Thread begins to fall.
After a fight at the Hatching Feast, the ambitious Wingleader G'rett has been sentenced to fly patrol over the deserts of South Sands. Do his feelings of foreboding have any merit?
We are a small but active and friendly weyr looking for more members. Especially needed are bronzeriders for the upcoming Flight and Candidates for the clutch to be laid. Also, wherhandlers of all ten colors are needed for an upcoming plot. Many ranking positions still need to be filled, especially the Lord Holder of Nova Hold, the Weyrsinger, and several Wingleaders, Seconds, and Thirds. There are also many spots open in the sr. weyrling class about to graduate.
