Brokenback Ridges

A large series of shattered half-mountains that surrounds the weyr. This area is home to a plentiful amount of prey and no small number of deadly predators. Anyone hoping to get to the weyr must first pass through here, and many of the main roads have long gone unused.

Northern Cliffs

Some miles north of the weyr are the cliffs, which overlook the crashing waves far below. These cliffs are a great defense against any danger coming from the sea, with only a few paths down to ground level available.

Beach

Beneath the cliffs is the beach, a lovely and somewhat loud area, with many creatures roaming and making a cacophony of sound. Here one may take a boat out and go fishing, hunt for critters to munch on, or stumble across a mystery.

Sun and Moon Stones

About half a mile out at sea rise two towering pillars of stone, one only several feet smaller than the other. The pair of stones make a good lookout post against dangers coming from the sea and weather watchers often come out here as well, to get insight into the play of storms that often rush inland.

Plains

To the west of the weyr is the great plains, a massive expanse of grass and sand. It is easy to get lost in this area, as every mile looks like the next.

Forest

Make it past the plains and then starts the forest, a great entanglement of wood and shadows. Feral beasts stalk through the dappled woods, including Great Whers and other predators. It takes a brave person to enter these woods.

Three-Stone Hold

Close to where Nerat Hold was formerly, before its fall, Three-Stone Hold is the closest to the Weyr and home to a great number of fishermen, wherhandlers, and guards. It is here that the news first spread, and where many must pass through to get directions to the Weyr.

Riverrun Hold

To the east of the remains of Keroon, built into the embrace of sea and river, this hold is known for its extravagant crafts, including glass, jewel, and papercraft. It is one of the richest Holds in the area and has set its sights on making the Weyr its own.

Syrim Hold

A dirt poor hold in the very far north of Ista Island, Syrim is home to many of Pern's less... popular population. Pirates, thieves, and those driven from other places usually make their way to Syrim at some point. They have long since scavenged the bones of old Ista Weyr, and taken everything of value from the area.

Fort Hold

Furthest away from the Weyr, Fort Hold still holds allegiance to Fort Weyr and has kept its stories and methods alive. Many demand that the eggs be taken from the Weyr and moved here, causing contention with the wherhandlers and others who have already made their way there to await the hatching of the eggs.
