Thanks!
The Weyr Council
1. Anne McCaffrey has stressed that we *cannot* use any of her characters as direct ancestors, such as great great grandchildren of Jaxom or Lessa was your Great Aunt. These are her characters and they are protected under the copyright law!
2. You may NOT write about a person at Ruatha Hold or The Harper Hall. They exist in our timeline but NO ONE may role play there. The same is true for the The Lord Holder of Ruatha. They will not be used in any way.
3. There are only five basic dragon color: gold, bronze, brown, blue and green. There are no black, purple, red or evil dragons allowed at Cibryen. No sport dragons either. Five colors of dragons only will be permitted.
4. There is no religion . The people of Pern would rather acknowledge living, breathing heroes than something that is unseen. There is no magic, ESP, clairvoyance, witches etc., only the empathic bonding between rider and dragon exists and the rare ability to hear all dragons.
5. AVIAS was not discovered so Thread still falls on Pern and the Holderfolk still rely on dragons and their riders to keep Thread out of the sky :) which is very good for us (g)
6. Dragon names always end in "th" Fire lizards and other pets *never* end in "th"
7. No joke names such as Death or Puffeth. Please, respect your dragon and give them good names.
Whew! Now that that's out of the way, we hope to hear from you. Join in the excitement, intrigue and fun at Cibryen Weyr!
