No New Posts Faran Island - 1 Viewing

Named for Faranth, this island is the most northern of the chain that is inhabited and protected by the Weyr. It is one of the largest islands of the Erdan Chain.

Kilot Hold is here--or at least it was. This hold was struck by lightning and the consequent blaze destroyed it. Today it remains abandoned; all that was left the empty husk of the once prosperous Hold.

Nearby Sorkai Hold has been established within recent Turns. There is a trade caravan on this island, its route goes from Sorkai Hold to the three cotholds - Oasis, Scarlet and Tryna.

Located north of Torene. On a clear day Tiberon Island, just south of the Western Continent can be seen.

Sorkai Hold:
Holder: Migres (AC)
Headwoman: Yeviana (AC)

Oasis Cothold
Cotholder/Founder: Breya (AC)

Scarlet Cothold
Cotholder: Matthav (AC)

No New Posts Torene Island

This island is named after the first Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr. Here in this lush, tropical island on the northern part of the chain there are many grubs to protect the fruit-bearing trees. However, this is a dangerous island as there are many wild felines known to roam the area. How they got on to the island remains a mystery as few of the other islands have such a dense population of felines.

Unlike the other islands, fresh water is the main export of this island; however they only supply to the Erdan Island Chain.

Allusion Hold is located here. Torene is located between Faran and Karamoor.

No New Posts Tyrs Island

Tyrs exports coal and have a small but strong Dolphineer hold. The camp’s Whers and miners fiercely guard one of the richest coal deposits around, this mine. They hope to make it a hold some day, and are the closest of the mines to becoming a real hold.

Conai's Mine is located here. One of the mountains is called Red Mountain. There is a Dolphin Bell here, located near Lenae Dolphinhold.

Tyrs is located between High Rest and Karamoor.

No New Posts Island of High Rest

Named for the large mountain on this island. It was considered for the Weyr's location; however the mountain is quite solid and it would have taken too long to dig out proper weyrs and other caverns.

In between Essal and Tyrs with Essal being to the south and Tyrs to the north-east.

Drumbeats from this island can be heard at the Weyr and the other nearby islands. The High Rest Hold is here, Dark and Lightbreak Mines are also here.

No New Posts Island of Quent

Named for the original head miner of the island's camp. Drumbeats from this island can be heard at the Weyr and neighboring islands. This island has the distinction of having a freshwater lake in almost the direct center of it.

No New Posts Island of The Connell

Whatever life and hold might have been on this island are now wiped out due to the massive tsunami that hit the island. The resulting tidal wave and earthquake caused massive destruction, leaving the island a huge sandy mount scattered with small lakes and only a few brave trees struggling for existence.

Historically this island is named after Pern's first Weyrleader.

Located southwest of Essal and west of Quent. It is northwest of Huryen. Although there was a ferry to this island, it is no more.

No New Posts Huryen Island

Huryen Island is the second largest of the inhabited islands on the archipelago and has the biggest population of humans.

With its criss-crossing rivers and hot springs, this is the warmest of the islands. The weather is generally mild and slightly humid on this island, even when all the other islands are blanketed in snow.

What sets this island apart from the others is its busy shipping yards. While it does not export anything of great importance save fish, there are two large holds here. Their docks are constantly busy with trade ships from all over Pern. Despite the nasty riptide it is a major stop for almost all the traders in the Southern hemisphere.

This Island has the distinction of housing the Harper Hall. The original Harper Hall was moved here in the middle of the last Interval.

There is a very nasty riptide off the southern coast of this island. The riptide is fiercest during the winter months, when it is capable of pulling a full-grown green dragon out to sea. It can kill a man or dolphin, and ships are ill-advised to go there during any time of the Turn.

Harper Hall is located here.
Carena Hold is here, as is Argoth Sea Hold. There is a Dolphin Bell here. Huryen is located between and east of Quent and Jubella.

No New Posts Jubella Island

The name is derived from the word ‘jubilee’. Although this was not the original name for the island, it was changed to Jubella when the Cot (now Hold) of Star Sight revealed the valuable contents of their mine: firestone.

In an economy based around this precious element, the firestone mine gained a great deal of attention when it first opened. Proved to be a productive and continuous (for now) source of the commodity, the mining Camp became a Hold within the First Turn it was established.

Now the Star Sight Hold possessively guards the location of the entrance to the mine to prevent trespassers from stealing it.

There is a ferry from Jubella to Huryen. The cost is 2 marks.

South of Huryen, this is the southernmost inhabited island on the Chain.

Holder: OPEN
Head Miner: OPEN
Headwoman: OPEN
