description: | This is a fun MOO based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series of books. It's set on the world Pern, where humans live with Dragons and ride to rid the skies of occasional burning silver threads that fall and would decimate the land and its people otherwise. The timeline of the MOO is set during the 10th pass of the Red Star that brings thread to Pern, and events from the book All The Weyrs Of Pern on through the rest of the series are disreguarded. The Pernese found the A.I.V.A.S computer in the spaceship of their ancestors, but it was broken and they couldn't learn from it, so thread will always fall. None of the characters in prevous books of the series set before that time are alive, and will never be allowed to be played, though they can be mentioned. The main playing of Harper's Tale focuses mostly in Ista Hold and Ista Weyr, but there are a few other holds and weyrs as well that can be roleplayed in. |
