Beyond Threadfall is a semi-canon/non-canon Pern RP taking place in what would be the Twelfth Pass. It focuses on Southern Weyr, one of the few weyrs remaining on a post-AIVAS Pern.
AIVAS' plan went off seemingly without a hitch. The Red Star has now passed by twice since the dragonriders' fateful voyage to the Yokohama, and both times it never came close enough to drop deadly Thread. Slowly, the Pernese are adapting to the new understanding that they no longer need to fear the skies. Urban and agricultural centers are expanding, as the need to build into solid stone caverns is no longer an impediment. The rise of new Crafthalls has led to the slow adoption of new technology. And the dragonriders? They are now messengers, arbiters, and explorers. The hardy, independent dragonriders of Southern dedicate their lives to taming the still-barely-charted wilderness of the Southern Continent.
IC Plots/Info
- After the retirement of Senior Gold Kaseth and her rider, Rodana of Gold Elith took the position of Weyrleader. In a controversial move, she was caught by Brown Pyteth, whose rider K'bay is now Southern's first female Weyrwoman...
- The Mythology Clutch is waiting on the Hatching Grounds, and the Touching will be held very soon. While many are skeptical as to the ability of a brown to sire a gold, there is one unmistakably large and golden-hued egg on the sands... True queen, or just a particularly tricky bronze?
- There is a Gather coming up at Southern Hold! Come by for bubbly pies, exotic wares, runnerbeast races, dragon poker, and the chance to win a coveted firelizard egg!
- Many high-ranking positions open, including Weyrharper, Dragonhealer, Wingleaders, and Wingseconds. Always wanted to play that bronzerider? Slots are limited, so move fast!
- Audition contests will be held soon for Jr. Weyrwoman and Candidatemaster.
- Get your Candidates in soon for BT's first Hatching!
- BT's admins have a long-term, unique, exciting metaplot in the works that will launch some time during the current clutch's weyrlinghood... No spoilers now, but suffice it to say: it's the end of Pern as we know it. And we feel fiiiine.
