HEARTLAND WEYR'S HISTORY

Posted Image

History in a Nutshell
-Look below for more detailed information-
AIVAS is not discovered so thread still falls!

*Heartland Weyr is formed in the southern continent after a split in Benden
*A strange illness starts sweeping through the upper ranks of dragons (bronzes and golds)
*Odd colors start appearing in the clutches and are thought to be caused by the illness
*Heartland is forced to move due to a flood
*Gold Fahith is one of the last remaining golds in Heartland
*Fahith Flies and is caught by a bronze.
*Fahith is beginning to show signs of the illness for the second time.

The Weyr and Hold have only been in their current location for two turns!

>>> Timeline for easier reference HERE! <<<



The Details
It all started with a heated argument between Benden's Weyrwoman and Junior Weyrwoman. Leianna did not agree with her senior on what should be done about the bandits that had been attacking Holds in the southern continent. Leia thought that they should send some riders and handlers to help quell the crime and reassure the Holders. Kilana thought it was Holds' problem and none of the Weyr's concern. She would not budge on the issue and the Weyrleader had to separate the two at meetings so they would not come to blows over the issue. Then, Leianna came up with an idea. She secretly began pulling together a small group of riders, gathering an equal number of blues, greens, browns and bronzes for her mission because all ranks would be needed.

She was going to start a new Weyr in the southern continent.

However the secret was leaked early. So the Weyrleader, knowing that the Weyrwoman and her junior could no longer get along, gave Leia permission to start her new Weyr. Kilana's Abadath was egg-heavy anyway and they would soon have new dragons to add to their numbers in Benden. So Leianna got to work. She gathered supplies and made lists of what would be needed. She also sent out scouts to find the best location. They found a perfect spot at the edge of a long mountain range that overlooked a lush green valley. Leia was shown the spot and immediately liked it. Work was started right away on the new Weyr. It took two Turns to be completely finished but the crafters and workers did their jobs well.

Riders, handlers, and crafters loyal to Leianna were moved to the new Weyr and candidates soon followed. However, the Senior Gold, Fahith began to show signs of an illness that many of the bronzes soon caught. It started out as a cough, then progressed to a hoarse hacking, eventually worsening to a fever that debilitated the great dragons and prevented them from fighting Thread. In some, the disease became so bad that the dragons succumbed to the burning fever and eventual organ failure, leading to their deaths. The disease had been unheard of before; the healers could do nothing to stop the plague that only seemed to be affecting bronzes and golds. The Weyr was horrified and desperately hoped the illness wouldn't kill their senior gold like it had some of the sick bronzes.

But luckily, Fahith seemed to fight it off mere weeks before she rose. She took to the skies and the bronzes, weakened by sickness, chased anyway. A long Flight resulted in Bronze Wryth becoming Weyrleader and the Weyr was overjoyed. Fahith had risen safely and was now egg-heavy. She laid her clutch of twenty on the sands. The clutch included an egg with the metallic sheen of a queen egg and many hoped a gold would come out of the egg despite its small size. Hatching day came and fifteen eggs produced a mix of blues, greens, and browns along with a pair of bronzes. They all impressed before one of the last larger eggs hatched, revealing an inky black hatchling.

The first Onyx.

He found His in ambitious lad as a light pink colored hatchling emerged from its shell. She was the first Pearl dragon and found her partner in a soft-spoken and shy healer girl. Then a hatchling emerged that at first seemed to be a bronze but soon revealed himself to be a Brass. He found His in a sturdy lad as a Silver hatchling joined its siblings on the sands. All eyes were on the queen egg which had begun to rock vigorously. It finally fell away to reveal a dark red hatchling with a metallic sheen to her hide.

She was the first Garnet.

No one knew what to make of the new hatchlings. The Onyx was temperamental and stubborn as was his Silver brother. The Garnet and Pearl however were loved by most everyone for their sweet natures. The Brass was well liked as well so the Weyr decided to let the hatchlings stay in Heartland. One Turn later, disaster struck.

A flood swept through the Weyr. Luckily they had a bit of a warning from the increasingly bloated river and were able to get most of the people out. The losses however were realized when they to settled down again. They had lost not only several riders and wherhandlers, but the wherqueen but the clutch she'd been guarding. The junior handler and her gold were now the senior wherhandlers of the Weyr. Heartland began looking for a new place to settle.

They found it in the mountains above the valley, this time far enough from the river that flooding wouldn't be a concern. This is where Heartland Weyr now resides. Fahith rose again and is now egg-heavy. This joyous news however is being overshadowed by the news of a returning illness sweeping through the higher ranking dragons. Will Heartland fall before it has a chance to thrive? Or will a cure be found?

Update: There has been a two turn time skip. The kidnapping plot never happened. Please update your profiles accordingly.
