[align=center]DAILLE WEYR[/align]
After AVIAS was discovered, the people of Pern lapsed into a time of peace. Effort was now put into sciences and technology, rather than fighting thread. All seemed well. A serum was made to decrease the chances of dud eggs, but it also increased the chances of a white mutation and brought in a couple other rare mutations. A brilliant mathematician, Leron, found a problem with AVIAS's math. A slight error, really.
Leron brought this information to the public. Thread would not be the same. The new path of the Red Star brought the planet just close enough to rain the menace on humans for only twenty years. However, threadfall was now unpredictable. Many cowered in fear, and blamed AVIAS. AVIAS corrected his error, and came up with a new solution, but no one trusted him.
An angry group of people destroyed AVIAS, in fact, as well as whatever technology they could find. They confiscated it in violent ways, causing a time of fear. The chaos dropped in less than a year. People tried to adjust to the idea of thread falling again. Few changes happened to the structure of Pernese life, and most of the changes regarded only medicine. A couple years later, everything settled down, at least for the time being.
Daille Weyr was established during that time of peace. Dragons were plentiful, with many queens at each Weyr. A young queen had her maiden flight. Daille, her rider, was selected to bring the pregnant queen down to the new Weyr along with bronze Nith and his rider. Nith was a small bronze, but continued to win Gold Rysnoth due to the tie between the two dragons. He never sired a gold egg, or a large clutch. One time, Rysnoth was caught by a different bronze. Her clutch held the first queen she had laid, along with a huge clutch. Unfortunately, Gold Lisinath and Rollina disappeared between.
The gold weyrling's death caused several reactions. The first was in the Weyr. A group got together, determined to keep Daille Weyr alive, no matter the cost. They hid themselves, but were ready to oppose anything that stood in their Weyr's way. They began plotting against their first issue: Nith. He was a threat to Daille's existence, and he must be eliminated.
The second problem was in the other Weyrs. Every Weyr looked down on the newer Weyr. Daille riders were treated with contempt. The Weyr would die out, and the proud riders would soon be begging to join other Weyrs. Benden Weyr had become the most arrogant Weyr. Proud of Lessa's accomplishments, the riders became pompous.
The final problem was with the surrounding holds. Daille Hold remained loyal, of course, as it had been established after the Weyr. Black Sea Hold, however, began to tithe to Benden Weyr, as that one Weyr promised to protect them when Daille failed. As a result, tithes were limited. Although Daille Weyr could search at Black Sea Hold--it was in their rights, after all--they were always treated with contempt and anger.
Rysnoth showed signs of rising, likely for the last time. A group against Nith and his "inferiority" injured the dragon's wings before her flight. Rysnoth was caught by a different bronze for the second time. She once again clutched a queen. Seranoth Impressed to Sari. Rysnoth went between soon after. Others became aware of the group within the Weyr after Rysnoth's death. Members of the group became known, and were banished from the Weyr for injuring Nith. Some sources were still in the Weyr.
There is no telling what the Group would do next.

There is soon to be a clutch of 19 Eggs that will be gracing the sands soon. And there is no telling what will hatch from those eggs. And you can bet the bets will start to fly when they are finally on the sands.
