Dream's End Weyr

Dream's End Weyr History

Shortly after the end of the Ninth Pass, prospectors discovered several deposits of sapphires i the foothills of the Eastern Barrier Range. With readily available river transport, broad alluvial plains, and a temperate climate, it was deemed a suitable location for a new settlement. Sapphire Meadows Hold sprang into being quickly, as both a transportation and an agricultural center, and became a viable alternative to over-crowded Northern Holds. A few candlemarks' runner ride from the mine was found a series of caves. With dragonriders facing a Threadfree future, mining was seen as an alternative occupation. A group claimed the caves, forming Dream's End Weyrhold. From there, the dragons were able to help with excavation, hauling, and a variety of other tasks, utilizing their strength and maneuverability when other forms of technology were found to be less practical.

The mine and the Weyrhold prospered for almost 1100 turns, maintaining a steady population of both dragons and humans. However, the first of the series of plagues hit the area hard. The number of deaths at both locations caused a severe cutback in mine production. This decline of output was compounded when future plagues decreased the demand for sapphires. Finally, in Interval turn 1123, the remaining dragonriders decided to abandon the Weyrhold and move to Thayan Peak. Dream's End was never completely desolate, as a skeleton crew of dragonriders lived there to aid the mining operations. Few stayed for more than a turn or two, with the solitude having ill effects on most.

When the queens at the still-open Weyrs began to lay larger clutches, those living at Dream's End read the signs and started clean-up and preparation. In month three of turn 1196, dragonriders returned to a Weyr ready to receive them.
