2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Welcome to the Month of Lovetm! This month's Monthly Event is all about Romance, whether it is asking someone out on a date, or getting sweaty between the sheets! Anything and everything counts, if it even looks sideways like it could be related to Valentine Day -- including lover's spats, or breaking up, Flights Wins (or Flight Losses!). Honestly, this month has a huge opportunity for interpertation, so go wild!

PERNESE HISTORY ||

715 AL

15.03 – Firelizards take to vanishing for unknown reasons and failing to return. Many assume the little creatures are simply going feral, others are insistent that something is actually wrong.
26.05 – Dragons began to become sick; none that show symptoms regain their health and what appears to be a cold quickly spreads. Firelizards are quickly blamed for the illness, and it is claimed to be the reason they have been vanishing, despite no proof one way or the other.
10.08 – Dragon population begins to wane notably. Weyrs put themselves on lock down, allowing no dragon to either enter or leave their boundaries. What few firelizards are left are banished from the Weyrs, and what few remain in the Holds and Halls vanish. Whers and their Handlers retreat into seclusion, wary of contracting the illness, though their beasts seem immune.

716 AL

07.01 – Weyrwoman Katila and her gold Mutusoth banish High reaches Weyr to the South, instructing anyone not ill to flee in hopes of distancing themselves from bad spirits and surviving the illness that has now cast a large shadow on the dragon population.
15.01 – By this date, all the Weyrwoman have followed Katila’s lead, banishing their own dragonriders to the South in hopes of survival.
20.01 – All the Weyrs of Pern are now empty husks, with only those who claim no dragon remaining, including many insane men and women who lost their beast to the illness and didn’t succumb to suicide.
The two-day flight across the ocean lost many dragons, both those well and those dying from the Illness.Upon landing on the coastline of the Southern continent, riders split up and fled to find individual territories. Many had taken non-riders with them – friends, family or children. Very few took more than a single companion and while some mated dragons stayed together, most riders were too terrified of the risks to put their dragon in danger.

717 - 719 AL

No one knew what to expect upon landing in the South; many died from disasters befalling them that had nothing to do with the illness that sent them there. Some fared alright, while others struggle to survive from day to day. Neighbours were warily kept distance from one another, and territories were guarded jealously.

720 AL

DRAGONRIDER POPULATION: 458
GOLDRIDER POPULATION: 01

16.02 – Tired with being alone after so many turns, Tsuen of gold Nirinath decided to reach out to the living dragons and their riders. Nirinath’s Call went out, urging the dragons to come together. In total, four-hundred and fifty-eight dragons and their riders answered Nirinath and came together. Of that number, Nirinath herself was the only gold.

20.02 – Tsuen, as the only remaining goldrider, decided they would officially stay in the South; she felt there was no point bringing a dying breed of dragonriders back to Northern Pern. They would wait to see if Nirinath would Fly.
The population came together to build houses from wood and dub the makeshift Weyr Katila, in honour of the High Reaches Weyrwoman that originally forced them south.
09.05 – Greenrider D\'ciro and green Urith died of a tunnelsnake bite.

26.08
– G'osu and blue Osucith died of old age.
