No New Posts Drummer's station

This short tower stand out against the northern sky on the edge of the Rim closest to the Weyrbowl's ground entrance. It is a brief twisting spire that ascends to just above the height of an average brown dragon's shoulder. Blossoming outward from there the tower opens up to a platform big enough to fit three people comfortably and five at a pinch.

Atop the platform are two huge drums, their design build in such a way that the majority of their sound travels out across the ocean. These drums are powerful enough to be heard on both the neighboring islands, but they are easier to hear to the north. Covering the platform is a curved stone roof. The roof is attached to the platform by a single stone wall, whose solid structure further amplifies the sound of the drums. It also catches the sound of incoming drum messages with ease so those sitting on the Drummer's station can pick out the single beats and specific rhythms better.

One of the chores of Candidates with any skill in drumming or simply listening at all is to man this station but usually it is manned by a Harper or Drummer.

By some miracle this survived the Storm intact save for a few scratches on its rocky walls.

Weyr's Drummer: None

No New Posts Observatory

This is the ruins of the once fine observatory that White Sands possessed. In the recent Storm, Melorath and Oreoleth were forced over the edge of the Rim by the fierce winds. Her tail smashed through the stone of the Observatory, destroying it.

Though plans are underway to rebuild, currently it lays in ruins. The loss of this well stocked and important building has been a heavy blow to the Weyr's populace, but the major anxiety is whether or not the precious metal distance viewer is still intact.

It is possible to see the Southern Lights from here on clear days. They are more visible during the summer months.

In recent weeks the observant may have seen several persons visiting these ruins on a semi-regular basis. Some of the broken stones have been shifted to one side and are now huddled in a neat pile not far from the rest. The still-solid foundation of the Observatory has been exposed.

No New Posts Star Stones

"Finger Rock points to Eye Rock. When Eye Rock brackets the Red Star, Thread is coming."

The Eye Rock has finally been restored! The damage from the Great Storm has been repaired and a new Eye Rock erected. The ruins of the original Eye Rock lay nearby, the two pieces a reminder of how devastating the weather can be.

The rest of the Rim and the stairs leading down are accessible from here.
