Dragonriders
Alaiza brought thirty dragonriders to Praesto with her.

One of them is the wingleader of the high-altitude wing Sky High, most likely a bronzerider. PM Jana before applying for a character to take said position. It is less likely you will get it if you apply for said wingleader as your first character.

Otherwise, just mention the original jump very clearly in your history. Your character's dragon must be at least four Turns old, and clutches were very scarce by that point--older is better. They ought to have some connection to Alaiza or Aevirynth. Otherwise, how would they know about Praesto?

Gold: 1/1 (Alaizabel)
Bronze: 4/6 (Av'lii, F'lis, T'ryn, T'ren)
Lavender: 1/1 (Risuka)
Brown: 3/6 (A'gehri, Kh'ril, L'kal)
Blue: 2/6 (Al'kim, O'pal)
Green: 2/7 (Breemae, G'vel)
Rubidium: 2/2 (P'trel, Vizzi)
Mottled: 1/1 (Dyana)

We currently have one member of the Hopeful Melody weyrling class available for adoption: the male rider of blue Jebiath.

For those characters who did not make the original jump with Alaiza, we are still accepting unlimited transfer riders in blue, brown, and green.

Candidates
Ideally, we would Search all candidates ICly. If you are interested in having a Searchrider play out your Search, more power to you. PM Jana to be Searched by Al'kim, a sturdy, no-nonsense kind of guy. PM Shade to be Searched by N'cak, who is more clever and introverted. PM Cerise to be Searched by A'lir, who is just a bit too scary. Elanor, our current Junior Weyrwoman, found him so creepy she knocked him out with a chair leg when he tried to steal her from Healer Hall.

If you choose to play your search off camera, tell us about it in detail in your candidate's history. Remember, candidates are stolen from their homes to come to Praesto. Once the secret weyr has been made known to them, they have no choice about coming or not, and there's a huge dragon backing the Searchrider up on that.

We are always accepting candidates between the age of 12 and 20, easing the female cap to 23 when there is a gold egg on the Sands.

One user may play up to three candidates per Hatching.

Lavender Tiamath is due to Rise very soon.

Other Weyr Ranks

We need a Headwoman, Assistant Weyrling and Candidate Masters, and all the Crafters we can get. We ask that you not apply for a master in any craft as your first character. Searchriders, drudges, and a lot of other things are also open.

Firelizards

We are currently accepting brown, blue, and green firelizard transfers.

Whers

We are currently accepting bronze, brown, blue, and green wher transfers.

Wher candidates may be any age above twelve. We have two wher queens possibly soon to Run.
