No New Posts Weyrbowl

The whole Weyr is basically a giant inactive volcano that has been extinct for centuries and thus, the Weyrbowl is the central crater. It is surrounded on most sides by the Lower Caverns and the weyrs, dragon entrances to all dotting the cliff. Lush grass has grown off of the minerals in the underground ash and a single plain stretches across the Bowl. On on side on the edging cliff, there's a large waterfall that has been fed into the Bowl by years of channeling and it conceals the draconic entrance to the Hatching Ground up above. The river it creates is mostly peaceful and rarely excess a width of four dragonlengths, but it can rather violent towards the fall and thus, simple bridges have been put in place for those dragonless to cross it.

About one-third of the Weyrbowl is an enclosed Feeding Ground with many wherries and bucks that are raised in Talune Weyr. Part of the river allows the livestock a source of water and the Feeding Ground is on the opposite side of the Weyrbowl as the Hatching Ground entrance.

No New Posts Lake Rhaser - 1 Viewing

This lake near one side of the Weyrbowl usually has waters that are of neutral temperature, meaning they are frozen over in the winter and warm to cool in the summer. Dragons and firelizards are usually found basking here on the rocky outtrusts in the summer and riders can be found skating or sliding on the ice in winter.

No New Posts Hatching Sands

Filled with goldenrod sand that is not too grainy, yet not to powdery, this Hatching Ground can fit two Queens and their clutches together (though we'll never do that xD). There is a draconic entrance that slops downwards into the hollow chamber, wide enough for it's users to land on the ledges high above. It is about 45 feet from top to bottom and along the sides there are wooden tiers with steps engraved into the rock beside them for viewers.

The life-sustaining sand is heated internally and makes perfect nests for the eggs, though is uncomfortable to human feet. The ceiling is half opened to curculate fresh air and sunlight, though only the mother is allowed to enter and leave this way when the Hatching has yet to begin, and the crashing of the adjacent waterfall can be clearly heard, a spray of water often coating the mother as she rests with her eggs. There is a east entrance for Candidates and a west one for Viewers, the latter leading to the tables placed with food.

No New Posts Watch Post

Yes, this is where Redriders and Greenriders find themselves spending some of their time when their Wingleaders assign them to this task. The Watch Post is its own ledge stationed opposite of the waterfall, overlooking the entire Weyrbowl. There is enough space on the ledge for two Blues and their riders, so the smaller Crimsons and Scarlets can fit with ease. Flits congregate here in large numbers at any time during the day.

No New Posts Infirmary

Consisting of several rooms linked together, this is a place dedicated to making people well. There is a room with several beds for those needing a healer's constant attention. There are also rooms where the Healer's and their apprentices live, along with offices for the Healers and their records. Another rooms houses an apothecary full of sundry herbs set to cure, vials, and dried powders. It smells of numbweed and many other remedies. Shelves and chests line most of the walls, making use of all the space they can. It's also where clean linens and sterile bandages are stored.

No New Posts Lower Caverns - 1 Viewing

Many caverns and tunnels of the like reside here. It is usually filled with people coming in and out of storage with hides or boxes, but is by opinion on how boring a place to be it is. Candidates and drudges will work here daily sorting the stuff, gathering herbs or food, or just rewriting hides. Drudges will work full time, and Candidates will do chores until they Impress.

No New Posts Kitchens

At ground-level this area has an entrance from the Weyrbowl on the right side, opposite that of the Infirmery. It is a large space when you first enter and it then into a small one after you've been working there for so long. There is an entrance to the Lower Caverns here on the other side and not to mention various tables with piles of prepared and unprepared food sitting on them. There are several pits for cooking herdbeasts here and more than enough hearths for meaty stews.

No New Posts Weyr Hall - 1 Viewing

This is a room connecting the the very weyr of the Weyrleaders. This is where important conversations are held about tithes, Threadfall, Holds, and other things of the sort. Only those invited by the Weyrleaders may attend.

No New Posts Personal Weyrs

Dragons and riders that have completed Weyrling training are moved here, to their own Weyr. Each leads to an enormous underground hot spring, where bathing occurs. The size and location of the weyr often depends upon the size and rank of the dragons; Weyrwoman's weyr (later Weyrleaders') is the highest up, followed by the Queens, the Kings, and then the Males and Females who are all of equal rank. They are usually simple, with a bed, table and chest and a couch and ledge for the dragon.

No New Posts Weyrling Barracks

Once Impression happens, former Candidates are moved here where they and their young dragonets are to spend the next Turn and a half. Separated into the Girls' and the Boys' Wings respectively, each Weyrling Barrack of the same gender Weyrling is connected. Outside there is often a pail of meat for your dragon and a list of the day's chores.

No New Posts Candidate Barracks

After being found on a Search, new candidates are brought here, were they will stay and live until they Impress. They are also separated by gender, as are the bathing rooms. There is a common room where they may mingle and rest that has a rather fine coating of dust on it from recent construction. In their spare time, they will complete chores in the Lower Caverns, which they find out about on a board in the common room.

No New Posts Flights

Here the female dragons of Talune Weyr may Rise. Try to keep the content PG 13 unless noted otherwise, and you may request a private board or use PM if things become too heated. The player of the female dragon is in control of the Flight, so males, don't try and take charge.

No New Posts Talune Hold

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.

No New Posts Nusa Hold

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 diminishing amount of lumber and skins, but no more tithes support Talune.

Board Information & Statistics

Board Description
Talune Weyr
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.
