What is MoonSet Weyr?
Download Moonset Guide
Welcome to MoonSet Weyr, a fan club of Anne McCaffrey's Pern.
We are a group of McCaffrey fans dedicated to enjoying this enchanting
world of empathic dragons, engaging people, and their struggle
against Thread for survival. Here you will find out who we are,
what we do in this club, and how you can join in on the fun!
MoonSet Weyr takes place, time-wise, in the 12th Pass
of the Red Star. That's about 750 Turns after the events that
took place in the original Dragonriders of Pern trilogy.
A lot has changed since those events: the Southern Continent is
sparsely inhabited and has many abandoned Weyrs due to a plague
that decimated the continent. The Northern Weyrs are still there,
but the South is nearly as low on people as before AIVAS was discovered.
From a Fannish History standpoint, many of the events in ALL THE
WEYRS OF PERN didn't happen. Landing is still there, and they
found many of the Ancients' artifacts, but sadly, AIVAS didn't
work. That's to keep Anne's Pern and the world we play in comfortably
(and legally) separate. We at Moonset adhere strictly to the World of Pern as it existed before AIVAS.
Fictionally, MoonSet Weyr is located near the old Cove Hold and
Ancient's Plateau and the Two-faced Mountain of The White Dragon.
The Weyr is named MoonSet because while the moon is setting, this
Weyr is the place where the region is most illuminated by Belior's
light (one of Pern's two moons). Thus the name MoonSet Weyr.

Gold Myntath and Quinta keep an eye and ear open for the weyrlings and distressed riders. She is quite good at listening and helping people through their grief and losses.

He has two dark gray felines, Sneak and Pounce and a very small blue flitter, Curio. He and brown Tygreth make a good pair as Tygreth is as clumsy on the ground as B'tron is with fragile items.
