The Weyrs of Pern
Although some of F'lar's hopes for the future did not come about,
the Weyrleaders made sure they did not forget their original purpose
nor allowed the holders and crafters to forget either. When the Red
Star drew close again (as the starsmiths predicted it would), the queens
started rising more frequently and producing larger clutches. The Southerners
grew concerned that they would be unprotected during the upcoming Pass.
While the land was thoroughly grubbed, it takes time for the fields
to be fully protected and there was so much room on Southern that grubs
couldn't reproduce fast enough to cover the newly cultivated fields.
Also, as the holders more than once stated (rather loudly), no one wanted
to be grateful to a grub! Plans were made to expand the already existing
areas of dragon concentration and to build new Weyrs to ensure Southern
would not turn into the barren land of the Ballads. There are now several
Weyrs on the Southern Continent: Janus, directly to the south of the
Eastern Ring, Sable, Crystal, Southern, Crescent, and Haven. The islands
along the Eastern Ring also got a new Weyr: StarRise.

This is the virtual component to StarRise Weyr,
a fan club based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. StarRise
Weyr is primarily an amateur writer's club. Members create Pernese "personas"
and write stories based on them for our quarterly fanzine, Out Of The Blue.
Writing stories is not mandatory, however. Many StarRise members enjoy simply
reading the fanzine or participating in our online mailing list, On The Rise.
The Dragonriders of Pern is copyright © 1967 Anne McCaffrey. StarRise Weyr
has her permission to play in an alternate version of her creation. She has
our most grateful thanks.
