Welcome to the River Cove Weyr!
River Cove Weyr was established over a decade ago, originally on Yahoogroups, before finally finding its home here. Set in the 10th Pass of Pern, around 3500 AL, this timeline explores an alternate history where AIVAS’ grand plan to end Threadfall ultimately failed. During a 1000-Turn Interval, Pern nearly forgot the menace of Thread altogether, allowing civilization to expand freely across the Southern Continent.
Nestled within the remnants of an ancient volcanic range, River Cove Weyr faces the warm, southern seas, offering a unique environment. A freshwater river cuts through the heart of the Weyr, providing a vital resource used by all its inhabitants, and the Weyr’s strategic location places it at the center of the surrounding holds and halls. This ensures River Cove is well-supplied, one of the few Weyrs to thrive during the long Thread-free Interval. When Thread finally returned, River Cove was prepared, while many other Weyrs had faded into obscurity or struggled to rebuild.
The South, home to River Cove, is known for its independent and progressive spirit. While the Northern Continent holds fast to rigid traditions and conservative views, particularly regarding the roles of women and the structure of the crafthalls, the South has embraced change. River Cove Weyr reflects this Southern ethos, allowing greater freedom for its inhabitants, regardless of rank, gender, or background. Dragonriders and Weyrfolk here take pride in their more egalitarian approach to life, contrasting sharply with the often more hierarchical and tradition-bound societies of the North.
Tensions between the North and South have grown over the Turns, fueled by these cultural differences. Northerners view the South's relaxed attitude as reckless, while Southerners consider the North's rigidity stifling and outdated. Yet, with Thread once again falling from the skies, cooperation between the continents is more vital than ever—though it remains to be seen if these two very different societies can set aside their differences in time to face the renewed menace of Pern’s ancient enemy.

Kelsa laughed as she worked alongside S'ven's family. They were really sweet. Vyiath had loved spending time with the children and now getting to enjoy the sun made the green even happier.

Kelsa stood in front of the mirror, still looking a bit flushed. Not that she was complaining but now she needed to figure out what to wear. She had pulled on a loose fitting shirt that slid off her shoulders, a tank top underneath for a little more modesty. Now…

Kelsa yawned a bit as she shifted in bed. A sleepy smile touched her lips though when she realized S'ven was curled up next to her. It had been quite a night. After what had nearly been a disaster things had changed very quickly.
The green smiled again and snuggled…

Tanly linked her arm through I'han's as they walked. She couldn't believe they just witnessed a wedding and one of very high importance. It was certainly a night to remember.
“What a night,” she whispered, smoothing a hand down her green dress.
I’han raised an eyebrow as her exclamation. “What…
