Sallarin Weyr
The weyr will be based on this site that I liked, but it died. So I'm making my own slightly twisted version.
Linky= urbsdraconis.proboards49.com/
I'm adding a couple of non-canon colors to the original five.
Garnets- Garnets are the new queens of Sallarin Weyr and they know it well. The hide of these dragons generally ranges from bright shades of red to dark pinks, always with a slight metallic sheen to their hides. A very few Garnets may be orangish in base color, but the slight metallic sheen remains. Garnets grow from forty-five to fifty-five meters long. These queens are very protective of eggs, even if the eggs are not their own. Normally they are calm dragons, but the major quirk of the color is that they will choose an area of the Sands and claim it as their own and refuse to let Golds or other Garnets on "their sands". They will let the rare clutching female Hearthfire onto their sands for as long as it takes her to lay her eggs and then chase her off to care for the eggs themselves. They are female and Impress like Golds, but their riders are usually even-tempered to deal wiith the Garnet's mood swings.
Bicolor- Bicolors are the new biggest males at Sallarin Weyr and often become the Weyrleader and House Leaders. These dragons are always marked with black and white. Some Bicolors may be mostly all one color with small markings of the other but many are more even in their color distibution. They too have the slight metallic sheen to the hide that Garnets bear. Bicolors grow from forty to fifty meters long. Possibly because they are so important to the weyr, Bicolors are generally moody and untrusting of people except for the rider they chose. They have been known to snap at anyone who gets too close to their riders. Bicolors can Fly Garnets, Golds and Carnelians, but it is uncommon for them to Fly Carnelians due to the size difference. They are male and Impress like Bronzes.
Hearthfires- Hearthfires are a mutation that comes in both male and female in equal numbers. The Weyr has nicknames for each version of the color.
Carnelians- Carnelians are generally shades of cloudy reddish-brown to cloudy reddish-orange. The odd Carnelian will be a bright reddish orange. Carnelians range from thirty to thirty-five meters long. This color seems to have two major temperment modes: the gentle version and the fierce version. As the nicknames indicate, one version seems to be gentle and hard to aggravate, while the other always seems to be moments away from an impending explosion. The very largest Carnelians can clutch from five to fifteen eggs when they don't chew firestone. If there are no Golds or Garnets in the Weyr, the largest Carnelian in the Weyr can clutch a gold egg, but the clutch will be half the usual size. When there are Garnets in the Weyr, Carnelians rarely end up taking care of their own eggs, as the Garnets will chase them off the sands and take over caring for the eggs. They are female and only Impress to females.
Sardonyxes- Sardonyxes are generally shades of streaky reddish-brown to streaky reddish-orange. The odd Sardonyx will be a bright reddish orange. Sardonyxes are thirty to thirty-five meters long, like their Carnelian counterparts. This color seems to have two major temperment modes: the gentle version and the fierce version. As the nicknames indicate, one version seems to be gentle and hard to aggravate, while the other always seems to be moments away from an impending explosion. Sardonyxes can Fly Golds, Carnelians, and Glaciers, although it is not common for them to fly Golds because of the size difference. They are male and only Impress to males.
Glacier- Glaciers are always shades of silvery blue-white. Their hides seem to ripple slowly when they are freshly oiled. They grow from twenty-five to thirty meters in length. In temperment, Glaciers are very hard to anger and generally do things at a slow ands steady pace. This gives them high endurance for their size, but they still tend to try and overwork themselves. They are often Search dragons, like their Blue counterparts. Glaciers are female and mostly Impress to females, but they have chosen males before.
Breccias- Like the Hearthfires, Breccias come in both male and female, but unlike Hearthfires, they come in many color variations. It is impossible to tell just by looking what gender a Breccia is, but some color variations do come in one gender or the other more often. Color Variations are: Coraline Breccia- creamy ground with blotches of a coral pink to orange color; Violet Breccia- has a reddish brown ground with long violet veins or spots mixed with white; Dove-colored Breccia- mixture of white, violet, and light spots, with large dove gray blotches; Marbled Breccia- mixture of red, grey, blue, white, and black spots; Mingled Breccia- intermingled with blue, pale red, and crimson; Spotted Breccia- mixture of black, grey and yellow spots; Dappled Breccia- brown and violet ground, mixed with large white and dove spots; stubborn but persuadable, are the same size as greens
