Final Chance Weyr
Home - History - Dragons - Whers - Availability
At the start of a long Interval, a virulent disease breaks out among dragonkin. While three of every four infected whers eventually recover, the disease is fatal for dragons and flits without exception. Highly contagious and able to be carried between dragonkin by humans too, quarantine is entirely ineffective. It soon becomes clear that dragons will imminently go extinct, and a radical plan is devised to avert this. Three gravid queens will go forward in time, laying there eggs in a time when, it is assumed, the disease will have died out.
As the long Interval draws to a close, a patrol of whers hears a desperate cry for help from three queen dragons - but dragons have been believed extinct for almost 400 Turns. The whers and their handlers arrive to three clutches' worth of dragon eggs, but the mother golds are gone, for if they stayed they would surely infect their offspring with the fatal disease. The handlers quickly erect a Weyr around the eggs, scrambling to assemble substantial candidates, and remain to usher in and guide the new generation of dragons.
Now the dragons have reached adulthood: those in the Weyr, and Fort Hold's stolen five. In the Weyr, the question of leadership looms ever bigger, with wherhandlers still in power and dragons beginning to seek their own. Beyond its walls, purists smart at the thought of dragons under wher control and skeptics doubt the ability of these few dragons to protect the planet from Thread, more so because they are untrained, strangely-colored, and many were born with mutations. Tithes sent to the Weyr have dwindled, leaving the dragons, riders and Weyrfolk to support their own as well as they can. What will this discord mean for Pern?
