WELCOME
TO THE JUNGLE


Our dragons aren't shiny. Our riders aren't always in touch with reality. Our alien menace isn't a mindless threat from the sky; it's crafty and predatory and it will hit you where it hurts. Welcome to Nightwatch Weyr. Try not to die.

THE FUCK IS GOING ON


Mutant dragons! It's official. Not only does Nightwatch have an abnormally high rate of hatching whites, but it seems red and black dragons are here to stay as well. Is it the Blight? Or is it some genetic oddity originating from the clutching greens? More importantly, will it ultimately benefit the weyr, or harm it?

Unrest in Weyr and Hold! - Continued dissatisfaction with the Weyrleadership, rationing in effect, frustrated Holdfolk grumbling at the heavy tithes...

Wher rescue! After search parties sent into the jungle by Nightwatch were assaulted - and not all of them returned - Wingleader C'ross has coordinated a daring expedition to nearby Edinnu Island, in hopes of finding and rescuing the lost whers and their handlers.


CONDITIONS
SUNNY SKIES, SLIGHT CHANCE OF APOCALYPSE


Season: Autumn

Fall is perhaps the most pleasant season at Nightwatch. The southern end of the island is entering a dry season (or, well, drier) and the humidity is no longer intolerable all the time, nor is the heat so stifling. The northern end of the island boasts temperatures that are pleasantly cool and crisp without ever quite reaching "too chilly". Occasional windy days require alertness from riders, but for the most part, the weather is almost enough to make you forget the eldritch horrors.

When is a legend a legend?


For 450 Turns, Pern was Thread-free. Believing themselves rid of their ancient enemy once and for all, the people of Pern turned a blind eye to the empty Weyrs, to the slow decline of their once-saviors, the dragonriders. By the time the Red Star began winking again in the dawn sky, it was almost too late, and even the drastic measures of the dragonriders weren't enough to fully prepare their scant numbers to survive the coming Pass. So Lessa took matters into her own hands and made a jump between to the start of the Eighth Interval, to rally the Weyrs of the past to come forward and help the people of the present. But something went wrong. Lessa's delirium never broke, and the riders of the Eighth Interval were only able to patch together the urgency through the feverish images of a panicked Ramoth. Lessa finally succumbed to her fever, and the riders of the Eighth Interval made a decision: they would make the jump to the Ninth Pass regardless of the dangers.

Why is a myth a myth?


Arriving in the Ninth Pass, their numbers greatly decreased by losses during the trip, the riders of the past hastily reorganized themselves into fighting forces. Fort Weyr's numbers were staggered, further decreased by losses in Threadfall. The Weyr limped through the first Turn of the Pass, hoping there really was light at the end of the tunnel. Fort Hold, meanwhile, prospered under the leadership of Lord Groghe, but his estranged oldest son had a secret plan to take back what was rightfully his...
