As of late, dragons have been vanishing between, either leaving their riders Dragonless or taking them with. The trend grew quickly to epidemic proportions. People started to leave the Weyrs as the population dwindled, but at the same time, holds were being abandoned. The many Holdless formed caravans to survive, and traded with the remaining holds.
The dragons are all gone now. The last gold vanished with only sixteen eggs on the Sands as her legacy. There is hope in these eggs though, that one day the dragons will return and grow strong. Some people did not want to leave this hope to chance, however. With the aid if Kitty Ping’s diary, the eggs were enhanced. Few know the details, but most believe that dragons will not be the same.
A large caravan of Holdless looking for a place to live came to the Weyr less than a sevenday ago, looking for a place to live and thinking to find it among the remaining Weyrfolk. They arrived at Benden only to find the Weyr abandoned, with the clutch still on the sands. The only Dragonless of the group has said the eggs seem barely a sevenday till their hatching date, and they still don't know if we still want them to hatch. They need to decide soon, or the eggs will hatch, ready or not.
Current events at New Pern:
-A fire lizard clutch is hatching in the kitchens. Some odd colors have resulted and there are still a few flitters left to Impress
-There is a dragon hatching coming up. The Touching is already underway!
