North Continent
[ ]Atlanopolis Weyr (9 sub-boards)
Atlanopolis Weyr is located centrally underwater, nestled safely inbetween the tropic of cancer and the equater. The spires that jut out from the water's surface are the only entrance into the Weyr aside from the far deeper, undersea openings, though no dragon of the air could ever survive the pressure exherted by the ocean at that depth. Further more, the spies themselves are so well disguised and small that it is unquestionable that one could ever find this entirely self sufficient Weyr. It is the former escape route from old Ista Weyr and, if one truly bothered, the tunnels could be excavated to lead one straight back to the island Weyr of so many turns ago.

[ ]Skrull Island Weyr (7 sub-boards)
East of the Northern Continent, and island called Skrull rests in the cool waters. In the centre of the isle, inside a barren stone mountain, rests Skrull Island Weyr; a secretive and hitherto hidden place. Carved from the very rock of the land this Weyr sits as a warning to those who would try and destroy the peace of Pern.

[ ]Skrull Coast Hold
A large fishing Hold that covers a decent portion of the West Coast of Skrull. This Hold is in charge of acquiring the seafood for entire island. The sandy soil nearby is used to grow cotton, which most of Skrull's garments are made from. There are also orchids and vineyards further in, maintained by the mercentile aspect of the hold.

[ ]Ring Mount Hold
A relatively smal hold on the Eastern edge of Skrull, based on side of the river which seperates Skrull from its sister, jungle island. Only the woodcutters, butchers and shearers staying here permenantly. The rest of the population are roaming the Steppes to the north and west of the Hold with their huge herds of Herdbeasts and Woolbearers which supply the rest of the island. The birch trees that grow along the river's edge are harvested year round and carved here or sent to the other holds.

[ ]Black Sands Weyr (12 sub-boards)
Located on an island of the west shores, the Weyr is built in the heart of a long-dormant volcano. The island itself is ratehr large, and unmistakable due to the black sand that lines the beaches. Beware of the inhabitants though, some are far from friendly.

[ ]Shoreline Hold (5 sub-boards)
Shoreline Hold is built on the shore, looking out over the waters one can easily spot the island of Black Sands Weyr. Shoreline has more organization than West Bay, and around the Hold is a large garden, carefully cultivated, from which many of the vegetable and fruit crops are produced, making it not only pretty, but practical. The location of the Hold makes for a beautiful scene at any time of day, and despite being a large producer of produce, it is one of the more attractive places to live on the North Continent.

[ ]West Bay Hold (5 sub-boards)
West Bay Hold is named so because it was built beside a bay on the western coast. It is a fishing hold that makes use of a variety of wherries, and holds a small fleet of boats. The people are wary of dragons, and rightly so, for who can blame them after the way Black Sands Weyr behaved? The Hold itself s scattered, no organization to the structure at all, and seemingly built around no central location, but more frm several. The first is the Hold, the second, to the South, is the bay, and the third is a large area of farmland.

[ ]Crystal Cavern Weyr (12 sub-boards)
A smallish Weyr, located just south of the former Fort Weyr. Somewhat chilly in climate. Not a lot of forests surrounding the Weyr, though a large river cuts through one side of the bowl, and provides a sort of plumbing.

New Cove Weyr is situated right on the coast, slightly east of where Cove Hold once was. It's a very wet and warm Weyr with plenty of incoming tithes and services. It's two tethered Holds support the Weyr with fish, fruits, and other various supplies. Why not hop on in and stay awhile? The Weyrleaders would be glad to have you!

[ ]Talune Weyr (12 sub-boards)
Talune Weyr is located a couple miles WSW from the ruins of Southern Hold, situated on the tip of a rather large peninsula. It was built from a structure of an already extinct volcano who had been rather active earlier in its life. The jagged edges of the southside of the Bowl reach to the skies, and they can often be seen from the ocean, while there is just one wide peak that contains the Hatching Grounds on the southern end. A nearby river from a large freshwater spring has been channeled to the Weyr through man power over the 5 Turns it took to do it, rising up before spilling out of an opening in the peak to become the Weyr's source of bathing toward the end and fresh water higher up.

[ ]Talune Hold (5 sub-boards)
Talune Weyr's first Hold, Talune Hold is famous for its fishing, and small and medium-sized boats are often seen coming to and from the docks. They supply their Weyr with necessary fish, wherries, and tithes, receiving protection from Threadfall in return. This Hold was soon established just months after the Weyr was, no doubt made to protect and help each other respectively. It is situated on a small island off the coast.

[ ]Nusa Hold (5 sub-boards)
Nusa Hold was built around four Turns ago, and they have become more and more corupted over the years. It is located a couple miles ESE from Talune Hold and provides the Weyr with a diminshing amount of lumber and skins, but no more tithes support Talune.

[ ]Solainoti Weyr (12 sub-boards)
Like the old High Reaches Weyr, there are several vents in the old volcano that serve as entrances to the Weyr. There is one main vent that is big enough for a dragon half again as big as an amber or raven to enter easily, and three smaller vents for dragons smaller than a black or emerald to go through. Inside the Weyr is an absolutely huge, hollowed out cavern that is split almost exactly in half. The more northerly half is filled with gritty sand and gemdust, still heated from below by the leftovers of the volcano's former life, that acts as the Hatching Grounds. There are only two ways into it: through one of the three minor vents, and through the gaping cavemouth splitting it off from the Bowl. Two queens could lay raven-sized clutches comfortably in these Grounds at the same time.
The other half makes up the Weyrbowl is slightly bigger; the main vent opens directly into it, and the two other vents. Enough sunlight comes in through the vents that grass can grow on the Bowl floor, supporting herds of dragonfodder. A geothermal spring bubbles up against one wall of the Bowl that serves as the lake.

[ ]Jynaier Hold (6 sub-boards)
Jynaier Hold is known for its various remedies and medicinal herbs that come from the area. Because of the abundant plant life on the Eastern Continent, it is fairly easy to see why this Hold thrives and it the main supplier of herbs for healers throughout the Continent. Medicinal value aside, this Hold is also prosperous from its fertile, volcanic soil, and crops here almost never experience any trouble. It is a relatively small Hold for all its success, but its Holder is content and sees no reason to expand out further from its location WSW of the Weyr, safely nestled in a beautifully designed valley. It happily supports Solainoti without complaint, and gives monthly tithes as well as supplying the healer's herbs.

[ ]Rias Hold (6 sub-boards)
Originally, it was a smaller, temporary camp set up for the workers. Made up of mostly miners from the South and Smiths from the North, Rias' original purpose was to help the Weyr mine its Riosian. Since the mineral has mostly run out, Rias' miners have turned to the deposits of various useful metals and stones under the nearest mountain. The Smiths churn out a variety of objects, from the raw material to utilitarian tools to intricate bits of finery. It is a prosperous business, since there are few other mining operations anywhere near it, and the source is just being tapped.

[ ]Eden Weyr (10 sub-boards)
a large, roughly circular clearing makes up the Weyr Bowl, and in the trees surrounding the Bowl are small buildings made for one or two people: the individual weyrs. Dragon couches are close by, in natural or man-made clearings with spots of bare earth or stone for the dragon. The Weyrleaders and Wingleaders have their choice of the weyrs build in the branches of a few of the biggest and oldest trees around the Bowl.
Around this is an area cleared by the weyrfolk. Proper dwellings reside here; at this point, Eden becomes less a Weyr and more a Hold. Families live here, with small fields of crops and pastures for grazers. This area is referred to as "the weyrhold", while the area inside it is "the Weyr proper".
At the north end of the weyrhold is a sizable lake that curves to fit the contour of the Weyr proper; weyrfolk and riders alike use this lake to bathe, drink, and fish. The Weyr lake has no official name, it is just called "the Weyr lake".

[ ]Eden Hold (4 sub-boards)
a few klicks south of the Weyr is the main Hold under Eden's jurisdiction. It is relatively small, but it extends it borders steadily. The Weyr lets it, since they are a large Weyr thanks to their deviation from tradition. Its main export is foodstuffs like fruit, vegetables and grains from the plantations of plant life so abundant on the Eastern Continent. They, like Eden's weyrhold, use piles of dragon dung and firestone mash to keep prowling scavengers away from their crops and predators away from the Hold itself.

[ ]Eastern Hold (3 sub-boards)
one of the first Holds on the Eastern Continent, it is slightly more inland from the Weyr. It is slightly smaller than its sister Hold, Eden, because though in its early days it was huge and prosperous, one thing and another has led to Eastern Hold's decline in size. It is still prosperous, and its trademark is the tanners, smiths, glass- and woodsmiths and other skilled crafters that produce goods that Eden Weyr (and Eden Hold) might not have the human resources to make.
