Have our Marvelous Meddlers discussed what holds are near to Ikros? I'd like to take one of my Weyrlings on a bit of a jaunt ... since I've got a bronze flitter egg to work into someone's story, and have an idea for it. It would mean scouting out a nearby hold, though, to follow through with the idea.
I don't want to just invent a town/hold/people unless it's going to work with already conceived plots and characters. :-)
I'll be reading the histories, etc, again, too, in case I missed something.

I believe we were going with the whole Northern Continent still being wiped out ever since the plague. No one bothered to re-settle it until now.
Unless other people would like to see some settlements up there?
One thing that could be cool is if we introduced a group called the "Nomads". Maybe people who rejected the general Pernese society of the South struck out for the abandoned North and have been living there ever since, though no one knew about them...until now.

Oooo, Kitty, you just reminded me of a character idea I had but toootally forgot about until now. o__o It dealt with a group or hold left behind when everyone moved south. A colony of rough and forsaken people who haven't been in contact with the other Pernese since. No firelizards, no whers, no nothing, just living in the harsh and unforgiving land, with little law regulations and leaders chosen by physical and mental strength through battle... Oh I'm so bummed that idea had slipped my mind before.
Renegade nomads sound pretty cool too! I feel like Fallen would get along well with them ahaha xD

Oooh, your idea sounds pretty intriguing, too. Maybe it could be a mix; some there since the plague, some there after leaving the Southern Continent for a different kind of life. But overall, completely isolated for generations, at the very least.
It has been centuries and centuries since the plague...

That would be sooo cool if we had something like that, even if it was just the nomads. :] What kind of life would they lead? How would the isolation have affected them? Do they have different mannerisms? Traditions? There's so much we could do with something like this!

We definitely should develop this!!!
And I can't imagine they'd be too fond of the idea of dragonriders prancing right in and disturbing their peace, hm?
