Welcome to Evenstar Weyrhold, an Alternative 9th Pass PBeM (Play-By-Email). Brand new to the great world of Online PBeM's based on the excellent Series - The Dragonriders of Pern ®  written by Anne McCaffrey. Now for those of you who don't know what Pern is exactly, I think Jody Lynn Nye says it best in The Dragonlover's Guide To Pern - " Just what kind of place is Pern? It is a world where you can make a dragon intelligent, endlessly sympathetic friend who will share your every thought and hope, and on whose back you can really fly. It is a place where technology has lost its toehold and pollution never existed. To be sure, it suffers a terrifying menace called Thread, but between incursions, Pern is still a world for explorers. The frontiers haven't yet all be crossed." So the short version is that it is the ideal world for a bunch of writers to get caught up in and write to their hearts content.

Contests

Now Evenstar Weyrhold has crossed a new frontier in the Alternative 9th Pass Timeline where it is located on the Eastern Islands, surrounded by the crystal clear water of the Eastern Sea. In this 9th Pass there are none of the characters that can be found in Anne McCaffrey's books, AIVAS was not found nor will it be. Pern at this time has little to no technology, the year is 2525, the middle of the Pass and Thread is falling, this is nothing new to most people and even though most fear it they are more fearful of the far too frequent meteoroids which are crashing down to the surface, no one can explain why these rocks are falling from the sky, many believe it is signaling the end of the world. Whatever the cause may be the face of Pern has changed drastically, many of the larger Weyr's have been struck by these massive rocks from the sky and destroyed, so the over flooding of Dragons, Riders and just general Crafts men and residents of Pern are looking to a new place to live, they are traveling to the less known parts of Pern, hoping to escape the bombardment form the sky. That is how the people of Pern found their way to the Eastern Island's, Evenstar Hold has been set up for 5 turns since the meteoroids began falling, and for just 2 turns a Weyrhold was created close by to offer protection from Thread, allowing the Hold to Expand and allowing people to come out from under the rocks, and out into the open.
