Nagas: NOT just another Weyr (Mutation Hatching, 'Door prizes,' Threadfall!!!)

Nagas Weyr


New Window | Same Window
Currently: ACCEPTING Applications
Especially for the clutches


"It's not just a Weyr and a Threadfight and between and dragons, that's what Pern needs but what Pern is...is an entire WORLD."

Are you tired of Pern sites that are entirely about dragons and dragonriders fighting Thread and Hatching and Impressing?   Looking for something more?   Look no further than here!

This site is not all about dragons, or even mostly about dragons.   We have a full set of Crafthalls and Holds with plenty of ranking character openings: Lord and Lady Holders, Stewards, Headwomen, Master Crafters, and so forth.

There are also plots, competitions, ambitions, and agendas for all of these: fosterlings/sons/nephews competing with each other to become the preferred heir to a Hold; less-gifted Apprentices pulling pranks on more-gifted; Lord Holders arguing because four of their number don't believe the fifth is really a Lord Holder (and that his lands do not really constitute a Hold); rebellion among the dragon ranks; and more.

Of course, we also have dragons and Threadfights and all that standard DRoP stuff.   They are non-canon Weyrs, and my oh my, has the hatred begun to swell between canon and non-canon...

To ensure the existence of non-Weyr plots, I have one application rule:   for every Weyr character a gamer has, he or she must create a non-Weyr character before they can have another Weyr character.

Current IC Activity:
  • Mutation Clutch
    Mutation wine Nariath's clutch has just started to Hatch.   The next post for it will be later this week.   This is the FIRST CLUTCH at the new Weyr!!!   WE NEED CANDIDATES for this hatching!   We only have three and there are 11 eggs.   :(
  • Adjustments in the Holds and Halls
    We're making a few adjustments in how our Holdings and Halls are being handled.   We have found that part of the problem with getting people to roleplay in the Holds and Halls is that there are too many to pick from and we end up with non-Weyrfolk scattered all over and no one to interact with.   With the help of my new Moderators, we're expanding some plots for only a couple of the Halls and Holds.   We'd like to increase the population at these handful of non-Weyr locations and then expand our focus to other locations.
  • Threadfall
    Threadfall is currently taking place over the new Hold.   With Nagas Weyr without a Weyrleader, Ashkel's Weyrleader is going to try to command both Weyrs' riders.
  • Weyrling Lessons
    We currently have two different levels of weyrlings, which makes life in the weyrling dormitories interesting!
  • More plots to be announced as RP'ing continues
Races
  • Runner Races:
    • None at the moment
  • Canine Races:
    • None at the moment
  • Boat Races:
    • None at the moment
Flights, Clutches, & Litters
  • Flights:
  • Clutches:
    • Vine Nariath's clutch (Ashkel)
      11 eggs
      3 PC candidates
  • Litters:
AIVAS Awards, Mystery Prizes, and Contests
  • Rewards for the next 3 new gamers to join!
    We are currently recruiting gamers to help us get back on our feet.   The next 3 new gamers to join the site (existing gamers creating new accounts don't count!) will receive extra marks (see below) and either a Special Mark* or a Mystery Prize**!
  • Marks system
    We've added a marks system...sort of.   It's a work in progress.   I have the basic structure built, now I just have to get it filled out with the existing characters and what-not, and create and update schedule for it.   This system has been put in place primarily as motivation for the races and contests.   Along with this comes a "conversion" rate for regular marks to Special Marks, Mystery Prizes, and other things.


*Special Mark: this is a special creation that can be used for many things.   You can buy things with them, including forgiveness for wrongs done (i.e., not posting at required posts without an absent notice) and Mystery Prizes.

**Mystery Prize: this is a special creation that falls into one of the following categories - items (e.g. weapons and jewelry), games (popular among Bitrans!), musical instruments (popular among Harpers...of course), and pets.   Each Mystery Prize has some special attribute, whether it's what it is made out of or an ability; for example, pets may be able to become invisible, etc.

What we have:
  • An active admin (O.o   Okay, I'm over-active, I get it, I know ^^)
  • Several active Co-Admins and Moderators to help manage the site
  • A unique layout and plots
  • An unusual combination of characters and miniplots
  • Canon and non-canon colors
  • A new type of pet (wicats), the ORIGINAL dragonets, plus the usual (flitters and runners); NOTE: canines are owned for racing purposes only
  • Many adoptable characters (Weyrlingmaster, lots of weyrlings, etc.)
What we need:
  • CANDIDATES!!!
  • Believe it or not, we seriously need DRAGONRIDERS, especially greens and blues (but we're taking all canon riders except golds, and limited mutation riders)
  • HOLD FOLK
  • CRAFTERS
  • TRADER FAMILIES - these are like the Lilcamps and so on.   They're enduring quite a bit of hardship because of the relocation from North to South; they had to leave a great deal of their livestock and goods behind and they've been basically ignored and shunned since the move.   Many of the youngsters are turning to the Halls in order to survive because the gypsy-esque lifestyle can't support them yet
  • As part of one of the new additions coming soon to the site, we are CALLING ALL BITRANS!!!
  • Active gamers!
  • Non-Weyr characters
  • Masters, Lord and Lady Holders, fosterlings, weyrbrats...all the non-standard DRoP RP characters!


We are currently roleplaying fairly actively:   we are open for active gaming and continuing to accept as many applications as we receive!

Bubbly pies for everyone!

You know, I think this is the first time someone who wasn't already on the site (or knew about the site) has posted something in one of my adverts!   O.o

Cookie for you!

Interested ^_^, definately going to join

This is probably the first time that I've seen a DRoP site focus on something other then dragons, dragonriders, weyrlings and candidates =O

EXACTLY.

That's WHY I made this site.   I know there are people out there (like me) who know and love all the books--and all the characters and so on--who get sick of "Flight, Hatching, Threadfall, and the occasional Gather," which is about all you CAN do with dragons UNLESS you have other organizations--like Holds and Halls.

*gnaws on the board* I <3 this site. It's excellently designed so that the "rest of Pern" life isn't just an after thought.

Ooh, bubblie.

Just sent in an application. I'll apply with a Candidate first, because I've been drawn in and I have a Candidate ready-to-go, but... ugggh, this makes me so excited. I've always wanted a place like this! I'm going to worship you for awhile, just so you know.

O.o   Hero worship scares me!

I had someone in high school who told me I was her hero...she was 2 years older than me.   That was right after I convinced one of her classmates that he didn't want to just drop out of high school and get his GED.   I mean...it made me feel good, but it also made me feel like...eek!

Don't worry, it's not quite hero worship. It's Internet worship, which is just as good but not quite as frightening!

Okay, it was just brought to my attention that the "New Window" link doesn't work...dunno why though, the coding's right...   Feh.

Alright, so I've read all the pages (can't find the adoptables though, could be that I'm using IE), and I have a question.   I noticed that you don't have a weavercraft.   Since cloth tends to be rather important, I was wondering if you'd be open to the idea of having a master weaver come to try and set up a craft hall?   Maybe?
Ack, nevermind.   I am apparently blind >.<

We do have Weavercraft, actually.   It's located at Padas Hold.   We actually have a couple of Apprentice and Journeyman/woman Weavers, but no Masters.

We don't actually have an adoptables page.   I'm working on a solution to the IE compatibility issue.   Those pages worked when I first made them--before the server switch.   It could be something to do with that.

I actually must have looked right over that.   Hehe.   I may want to apply for master weaver then.   It's my favorite craft, pretty much, besides runners.   I don't remember if they're actually a craft or not since the only thing about them was a short story in an anthology O.o

lol

You're quite welcome to MasterWeaver!   Runners fall under the Beastcraft Hall--again, we have a couple of Apprentices and Journeymen, and two Masters (one PC, one NPC), but no MasterHerder.   The other place they come up (besides the DLG) is in Moreta.

Not runnerbeasts, runners.   I've only ever read about them once in a short story.   Before there were firelizards, runners would literally run messages across Pern on foot.   They were sort of bred into it, and entire families would run runner stations and be runners themselves.   And a few were 'Lopers' who went into a trance like state when they ran and could basically outrun anyone.   *shrug*   Like I said, I don't think they make much of an appearence in any of the actual books.

Ohohoh!   Those runners!   My bad.

Yes, we do have them, but we don't really have a Hall for it.   It seems that most of them were families; possibly some would turn up in the Harper Hall as well.

Yeah.   *shrug*   Hehe, I might have to bring in my little runner later.

I play a master herder! I'm very interested in DRoP that isn't all about dragons.

Have you really had people do dumb stuff to cause every single one of those rules? I like Pern and would like to think that I'm at least a competent player, but the site (and the jaded attitude in the rules) isn't very newbie friendly. D:
