About

Falas Weyr is located on the eastern side of Falas Island, only several miles from the Island's main Hold, Falas Hold. It is a smaller Weyr, only half the capacity of the Mainland Weyrs such as Fort, Benden, etc. It's focus is to support the larger Weyr's in Threadfall, primarily Fort, Benden, Monaco Bay, and now its original sister-weyr, Dark Moon.

History

The Tenth Pass Founding

Founded at the end of the Tenth Pass by Wingleader J'tha and his companions, many from the same clutch as his sunset Zenith or willing founders from Fort Weyr, it was established to aid Fort Weyr by taking in injured or sick dragons. It never flew Fall by itself, since it never had enough dragons to do so. At first, the Weyr was lead by Nyarna, rider of the Fort-bred Azanith, and J'tha. After Nyarna's untimely death due to a rare sickness, the leadership passed to the rider of the recently flown gold Rhiath, Yakima, and her new weyrmate, M'hant and bronze Jerith.

After eight Turns and the Tenth Pass was to end, holders began to see the presence of the dragonriders as a nuisance and some plotted a rebellion. The beginning of this rebellion ended the life of M'hant in a duel with the Lord Holder of Kay's Point. Lord Lauer was exiled to a remote island and the Weyr prepared for a special clutch of one-hundred and forty eggs, all altered by the Falas Genetic Program Center, or FGPC (it wasn't a WeyrHall yet!).

The mega clutch hatched near the end of the Turn. The Weyr was celebrating the hatching and Turn's End with their off-world guests when the Weyr's party was crashed by ex-Lord Lauer and a group of followers. With riffles and other stolen weapons, they killed over twenty riders and several weyrfolk before one of the guests, Emger Ronan of Rerir, caused an other-worldly mist to cover the entire island. The riders and people of Falas Weyr escaped and settled in the deserted ruins of Dark Moon Weyr.

Exile to Dark Moon

In the ruins of Dark Moon the riders were lead by K’man and white Mixuith. The location was officially called Dark Moon WeyrHold, however the joke of Falas’ Rising Mist also stuck amoung some. During the three Turns, K’man and the riders regrouped, healed and prepared to make a leap into the future.

The Eleventh Pass

Following the orders of J’tha (and of Cynte, who was unknown to be part of the plot until much later), K’man, S’mar, and L’gal made calculated jumps and arrived at specified dates before or during the first turn of the Elventh Pass. In addition, J’tha and Cynte had had Philippe and Juniamaa make jumps as well, being elves they could stick around and make sure things went as planned before they made their own jump several turns before K’man was due to arrive. The two elves first went to Fort Weyr and tried to enlist help before Philippe found Jealsren and brought him to the hatching where Tayalia had been told to bring one of the suspected dud eggs forward in time; this dragon hatched a night named Ainnth of which Jealsren Impressed.

J’ren gathered a group of riders willing to settle in Falas Weyr, following the persistence of Philippe. When they arrive, K’man has been present in this pass for several months with a fresh group of weyrlings in the barracks from the Weyr’s only queen, Flynnth and her mate blue Soliath.

Nysheth, dragon of Kahii, had been flown by Ainnth before coming to Falas Weyr. Kahii and J’ren take up their positions as Weyrleaders of Falas Weyr. (more coming soon)
