Welcome to PernWorld, we’re glad you stopped by!

We are a MUSH community based on the Dragonriders of Pern series created by Anne McCaffrey. Players create and play characters within the theme where dragons and technology mesh together for an experience unlike any other. Currently we have four PC Weyrs (Fort, Xanadu, Igen, and Monaco Bay), one PC Weyrhold (Ierne), one PC Hold (Stonehaven), and a variety of crafting areas in which you can play and develop your character. While some locations are ‘off camera’ they do still exist and others which occasionally host a clutch but are not generally considered PC.

If you’re interested in joining us, please feel free to have a look around our wiki at http://pernworld.wikidot.com/theme to give you some idea as to what each has to offer. If you have any questions, feel free to connect to the game where our helpful staff can answer them to the best of their ability even if you know nothing about the theme. Our player base is a mix of new and veteran players, and we welcome anyone who’s interested in interactive storytelling.

Current Events: Monaco Bay Weyr at PernWorld Mush will open OOC Search on April 3rd, and will be accepting applications until April 18, 2021! Their wiki can be found at http://monacobayweyr.wikidot.com.

PernWorld Mush is rated PG13~

Again, welcome to PernWorld and we look forward to seeing you on the game!

Ever since Meirath's flight, the dragonhealers of Xanadu have been rather concerned. Truth be told, they were concerned ever since her previous flight; the young queen's been rising too frequently for their liking, and while her previous clutch was healthy - if small - there have been worries that this clutch will be less fortunate. Meirath herself remains warmly confident in her eggs, but you don't have to be a dragonhealer to notice that she's been more lethargic this time around, her color... not quite so bright as it's supposed to be. With two clutches of hers in recent memory, people are definitely talking.

The dragonhealers are doing their best to help; they've had a supplemental feeding program for Meirath, and as the clutching draws near, preparations have been put in motion for a little something extra for the eggs themselves. How do you feed an egg? Why... through the shell, of course! Which is why the dragonhealers have boiled up a few giant vats of... something. It's medical, all right; nothing else could smell quite so pungent. It really makes you realize why it is they hold numbweed boils far away from Weyr and Hold!

This particular nutrient concoction - full of key vitamins and minerals, or so the dragonhealers assure - is being held in the Dragonhealers' Annex, right next to the hatching sands where it'll soon be applied... and right next to the main clearing and caverns, too. Maybe the smell wouldn't be so bad if they weren't keeping one pot of green sludge at a low simmer... but how else will they make sure it's nice and fresh whenever Meirath's eggs arrive? At least the dragonhealers are surely suffering too, for even the noseplugs some of them have started wearing can't block the smell entirely... or keep it from clinging to their clothes.

(OOC Search closes on April 29th! If you're thinking of joining us at Xanadu this cycle, get in your application soon. We'd love to sme- see you!) Xanadu Weyr is located on Pernworld Mush @ paper.mudmagic.com Port: 2211. Simply type 'Search Me' on game after character approval to apply and join in on the fun. Please check out +help Candidate in game for details on that Candidate life and xanadu.wikidot.com. Hope to see you new and returning players soon!

The Dragonhealer annex has been on high alert since Meirath has risen for the third consecutive time, leaving troubling questions to be uttered in the shadows and no answers can be found from the Senior Weyrwoman herself, who has been scarce since Meirath's past two tumultuous flights. Throughout the chaos in the skies, personnel wait on the ground to gather new injured riders and dragons left in the queen's very loud and violent wake. In the end, T'revs' bronze Draukaith put an end to this reign of terror for now and the queen is under observation, grounded to facilitate the dragon's healing. Things are not moving as smoothly as they should.

The Dragonhealer's are stressing privacy as they try to uncover the cause of weakness in Meirath's clutches, citing theories of what could contribute to her irregular clutching cycle at the age of a mere four turns. The short duration between cycles could be depleting the young queen of what's necessary to shell a strong egg. Is this an act of nature or signs of something far more sinister to come? Until then, the barracks are being cleaned and prepared to keep spirits up and dark rumors at bay.

@WTFE Well, they did stop putting lead into paint, so...

In all honesty, I hear where you're coming from. You can't entice people to play a text based game without setting the scene and mood for what you're trying to promote. Since there's no pictures, you have to literally paint it with text. I was just posting on behalf of a friend and thought it would be in poor form to change their ad without them knowing. I could've written something for them but didn't feel it was in my place to do so since I was largely idle at the time.

Monaco has been quiet....far too quiet. Perhaps the lull of winter had seduced its residents into behaving, but of course peace can never last for very long at /that/ Weyr. It was well past dinner when the smell of smoke began winding its way through the kitchens and into the living caverns, prompting a very irate brownrider to barge in and not so politely ask "WHERE IN FARANTH'S NAME ARE MY BUBBLIES?! THEY BETTER NOT BE BUR-".....well, he never quite got to finish that sentence. Not because he died mind you. Instead he was taken aback by a fire burning quite nicely in one of the kitchen's trash bins. It didn't take long for help to be called over and the flames put out, but it seems that investigations are under way. After all, trash bin fires don't just start themselves.

OOC: OR DO THEY!? It's almost that time of year... Monaco will be heading into Search this January and we've got plenty of fun things in store. This is one of several plots we've got on the horizon and we're looking for characters from all walks of life (but still the human species) to hop in. If you're interested, feel free to page/mail staff (mbw .who/admins) with questions or just come on down and RP! We're located at paper.mudmagic.com port 2211. Also, if you're looking to start a new character that's directly involved in the fun we've got a list of adoptable/wanted at Monaco Bay Weyr's wiki.

There was as much mess in the weyr bowl as the feeding grounds when Feyruth finally took to the skies and it seemed as though everyone spent the flight either yelling at their dragons or looking for buckets. With only a handful or two of injuries and a blue leaking ichor all over, Feyruth was finally caught by none other than bronze Emeliuth, C'vryn's own. Most consider it a very successful flight, for Feyruth. At least Half Moon is safe again for the time being.

What does this mean? Pernworld's Half Moon Bay Weyr is about to head into the next search cycle! OOC search opens on July 16th. We have lots planned and look forward to meeting as many interested parties as possible. If interested, type 'search me' with a possible candidate any time on or after July 16th. Check us out at: paper.mudmagic.com Port: 2211 and http://halfmoonbay.wikidot.com/. For more information see also +area hmw, +hmwhelp and feel free to drop in (+go hmw) anytime! Hope to see you there!

We are accepting applications for all colors!

We also have a number of vacancies in a whole variety of positions - and we're looking for people who are not just able, but also WILLING (and reasonably active), to fill those roles. The roles in question?

• Headwoman (and/or assistants)
• Wingleader (for both Archipelago and Seamount; preferably HMW riders, but we'll consider transfers as well!)
• Wingseconds (for the aforementioned wings, with the aforementioned notes)
• Crafters (because making things is awesome!)
• Residents (because they're the backbone of this operation)
• And pretty much anything else you can think of, honestly!

Interested? Just drop an @mail to the admins at Half Moon Bay Weyr (hmw .who/admins) and we'll get you situated!

Thank you!
