Shattermaw Weyr is a brand new, just opened, utterly non-canon Weyr. Shattermaw's aim is to provide a place for people to hang out and have fun with whatever they choose to play, while still having an underlying, dramatic plot to fuel interesting events and discoveries. Everyone is welcome, and there will hopefully be something interesting--and unusual!--for everyone.
Hundreds of Turns past the End of Thread...
...the skies have once again borne a strange and deadly enemy to Pern.
Aivas's gifts of technology are all but lost. The Weyrs are gone. The Holds are gone. Pern is under the control of a hostile invading race, the insectile Cetch, and they want nothing more than to eliminate every other thinking creature on Pern and have it for themselves.
Shattermaw Weyr is the last stand for Pern. Tucked into a sheltered mountain, it has lasted for over 40 turns against the vicious Cetch, though not without its setbacks. Desperately in need of more riders in the fight against the Cetch, their efforts at finding Candidates has redoubled in recent turns, and none--not even the least likely--can they afford to turn away from the Sands.
Fire-lizards and whers as they once were are extinct; fire-lizards have split into the semi-aquatic shardakes and the sky-master windrakes, and the fate of whers is still unknown.
Strange creatures known as skybix have been bonding with riders, though much about them is still unknown--and they are extremely rare, difficult and dangerous to find.
Dragons have changed--the rules for dragons are wildly different, colors are unpredictable, male Golds fly the skies and Impression is utterly unpredictable. Anyone at all seems to have infinite possibilities for Impression.
There are many more secrets that this strange new Pern holds, merely waiting to be discovered. Anyone at all could find themselves uncovering the key to victory over the Cetch, or the key to their own destruction...
A clutch of 7 eggs is held on the sands, and candidates are needed to ensure the future of Pern!
