Welcome to Monaco Bay! Take a few minutes to look around, we'd love to have you join us!
Monaco Bay Weyr Alternate 7th Pass Guide
Introduction
Monaco Bay is a new Weyr, recently developed. We're an offline Weyr, so
although we have some members who can corespond by email, a lot of our
programs take place by US Postal, more commonly known as snail mail. We don't
charge dues as of now but we may have to charge dues later if we get a lot of
members or a longer 'zine.
We're in a Alternate 7th Pass, that is to say we're different from Anne's
books. and you may find that our timeline is different from other
online/offline roleplaying Weyrs. If you see anything you wanna question,
feel free to mail any one of the BOD. We've also listed our email addresses,
which are also reachable. A snail-mail address for a BOD representative is
listed later in the guide:

A BREIF HISTORY OF MONACO BAY WEYR
To keep our world and Anne McCaffrey’s legally seperated, we’ve had to
slighty alter Pern’s history to fit into our 7th Pass timeline. Here’s the
jist of what’s different:
When the Crossing descibed in The Chronicles of Pern occured, there was a
group of people who opted to stay on the Southern Continent; some to complete
research, and others because they refused to be uprooted from their new
stakeholds. They argued that the coast was more or less safe from the
tectonic activity inland near Landing and Mount Garben, and said that they
would stay there. The leaders of the colony agreed, but were faced with a
dilema: how to protect the people who stayed South from the raveges of
Thread.
With only eighteen dragons at their disposalat the time, it was agreed that
half would aide the sleds in the South, and the other half in the north.
Meanwhile, a site was searched for in which a permanent home for future
dragons would be set up. A promising site was found in the mountains not far
from Monaco Bay stakehold.
After Benden was founded, Monaco Bay Weyr was founded as Pern’s third Weyr.
((This is taken directly form the DLG2, with a few revisions by Yours Truly
to keep us legal)) At Monaco Bay, the typical volcanic crater is abscent.
After they leave the Weyrling Barracks, dragons sleep in wallows in the sand
and their riders live in nearby cabins situated in and around the main Weyr
area. This consists of offices for the Weyr/wingleaders and extensive
kitchens, even though most of the cooking is done in the open air.
Both the Weyr and the surrounding holds flourished as the Turns went by, but
the population stayed relatively small due to batches people moving North
when the limited living space got crowded or to seek better opportunities at
the "real" crafthalls on the Northern continent.
It is currently the Eighteenth Turn of the Seventh Pass or the 1776th Turn
after Landing. The current Weyrleaders are C’varl, rider of bronze Tolth and
Andria, rider of gold Kiath. Together, they keep the Weyr running
semi-smoothly, prevent Thread from burrowing, keep pesky holders from seeking
out more land further and further from the shore, and pretend they enjoy each
other’s company the whole time!
