Come to a world.. where normalcy can be as fun as the bizarre!

During 11th Pass in a northern Weyr on the Tillek peninsula, a housing carved out of a great canyon would be home to a slowly growing dragon population, stationed there from it's sister Weyr to help take over some territory that happened to be too far and too wide for a nearby Weyr to include in their territory. For forty years prior to the move, the stone smiths worked diligently to make it into a working Weyr, making it a part of their home as they did. When the move finally came, many of the Smiths left, but a group stayed behind to oversee the finishing of certain projects within the stone walls. Many of these people were wherhandlers, and they still live within a southern alcove of the Weyr, only coming out at night when the traffic of people is low to resume their work.

Other than the renovation of the canyon, Kharasi is a struggling Weyr with small numbers that is often supplemented with their Sister Weyr's dragons for threadfall. After a few clutches though, this should change dramatically. After a long 3 turns of not rising, the queen finally took flight and was caught by bronze Behemath. They made a fine clutch of 23 eggs, but no queen egg. It is hoped that this next flight will have more luck.On top of strain of dragon numbers, Kharasi deals with corruption from one of its Holds, Thyra. They often go into lapses of shirking their tithes, but a recent skirmish has put them in line.. for now.

Kharasi is a Weyr that is mostly canon. Dragon sizes have been revised to a slightly more.. believable scale, and it is believed that between the 9th and 11th Pass of breeding large dragons, the difference in sizes between the colors shrank a bit. Greens are still dwarfed by bronzes and golds, but now it doesn't look like the bronze might be able to -kill- a green just by flying her. Other stipulations in the size is that browns are now more apt to fly queens, and have a better chance than they did 2 Passes ago.

Also, though bronze and queenriders have to remain heterosexual, the sexuality of brown to greenriders is not considered a bit deal. There can be straight male greenriders and straight female blueriders. Because of browns being able to fly golds, we do not allow female brownriders. Also, strictly homosexual brownriders will almost never ride a brown that is interested in golds. This is to provide leniency in rp, but uphold to some traditions so that it doesn't get too... warped.

Some considerations from Todd McCaffrey's books, but this is restricted, and implemented only in that whers are also used for mining and stonecrafting of creating new Weyrs. They see in heat and in some moderate ability, luminous light, so glows are uncomfortable but will not send them screaming in pain. They cannot fly, and DO NOT eat thread. They have a keen sense of smell and can find 'bad air'. Their intelligence is better than a firelizard, but they cannot mindspeak at all.

Overall, we are a simple little Weyr trying to make a good rp with a canon site, but with a few leniencies. We have good, devoted rpers but they are few in number, so please don't be turned away if we do not post often. We are lenient in activity but promote being a very active rper, but we do not want anyone to shirt school or work for the rp. Soon, we may be considering a point system which rewards good rp and posting. This will be for both quality and quantity, and no worries about 'missing out' because very rarely will there be a prize that will be won and then noone else will get. It's not a contest, but merely a way of rewarding rpers. If you rp consistently but not necessarily often, you'll eventually reach those milestones.

Iolath will be rising within the next IRL month or so, so we are also accepting bronze and brownrider applications, but only a limited amount! Candidates are always welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email or an IM, both of which can be found under my profile
