Founded in Turn 165 of the Sixth Interval, Solaria Weyr is the seventh Weyr of Pern. Though planned to house the overspill of other Weyrs, it is also a Weyr in its own right, and protects its own land. It was established in an extinct volcano on the Southern continent, on a tip of land by near Great Bay. Riders were eager to request a transfer to it when it was populated, lured by the prospect of tropical weather.

Now, the Red Star has been framed by the Eye Rock at the beginning of the Turn, and to many that is proof enough that Thread is returning for an Eighth Pass. For others, however, this is not proof enough: after all, there have been 200 Thread-free Turns, so surely it is not going to fall again? But clutches have started to become more frequent and larger in size, and thanks to the insistence of Weyrleaders traditional training has been continued so that the Weyr is prepared to fight Thread, despite its low numbers.

Tragically, Senior Weyrwoman Miori suffered a heart attack not long before the hatching of her dragon's clutch, and slipped into a coma. Although all eighteen eggs hatched healthy dragons, only a few days later Miori passed on. Almerion is now the interim Senior with T'niel remaining as Weyrleader. But with the arrival of a transfer goldrider, Levay, will Solaria's next senior Weyrwoman be native or foreign? And who will become Weyrleader?

Within sevendays of Levay's arrival, Wingleader T'kevi was out on sweeps when he discovered crackdust, confirming Thread's return. Pern must now prepare itself to meet its oldest enemy, but is it ready?

Other events that have occured within the last fifteen Turns include females Impressing to greens and even to blues, though the latter is still extremely rare. Even female Impressions to green are not that common – old ways of thinking are still holding strong in some places, and girls are often forbidden by their families to accept Search when there is no gold egg. Likewise, many Crafts are prejudiced against female members.

Solaria Weyr is a canon, AU role-play game based on the ‘Dragonriders of Pern’ series of books by Anne McCaffrey. Our aim is to provide a fun game with interesting plots that involve everyone, no matter what character they may play. This is the second incarnation of canon Solaria Weyr, and some of our history reflects what has occurred in the first incarnation.

Presently, we are particularly looking for a number of character concepts. We have a rare female bluerider up for adoption, several female greenriders available, and we are also seeking characters to fill Wingsecond positions, among others. A full list can be seen here.

The details of the most recent clutch, gold Ilayth and bronze Vroleith's, including the full information on the PC dragons, can be seen here.
