    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

HT Introduction Holds are where non-riders live, and house the agricultural population of Pern. As the Red Star swings past Pern every 200 years, it flings off these spores which travel through space and descend on Pern, unraveling in the atmosphere and forming silvery threadlike filaments. Harper's Tale exists on and around Ista Island, which is only a small part of Pern. www.harpers-tale.com /intro.html   (582 words)

P.E.R.N.-Материалы-=Книги=-Библиография "Всадники Перна" Pern's population of four to five million is divided among several major Holds and hundreds of smaller holds and isolated cotholds across the southern two-thirds of the Northern Continent and in smaller, more isolated clumps in the Southern Continent. In present-day Pern, the difficulty most Pernese have with the wanderers has less to do with the old Gypsy reputation than with their acute discomfort that anyone would be willing to live without the security of a stone roof against the menace from the sky. Pern has much the same range of precious and semiprecious stones as does Earth: the full range of colors of garnet and sapphire; tourmalines; agates of every kind including lace agate and moonstone; the full range of quartz crystals; and all the corun-dums, including beryl. pern.otas.ru /books/dlg/x.htm   (635 words)

Dragonriders of Pern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pern is a pre-industrial society with lords, holds, harpers, and dragons, with the occasional appearance of higher technology (for example, flamethrowers, the telegraph, chemical fertilizers, and powerful microscopes and telescopes). The social structure on Pern is strictly divided between Hold, Hall and Weyr--broadly comparable to the medieval triune of Nobility, Guild and Church (in that order)--and is considered by the Pernese themselves to be an ideal organization specifically meant to avoid the violence and excess of their Terran ancestors. This also provides important support for the incredible exertions of the Pernese in supporting the Weyrs economically: one could speculate on the defense against the Thread being cast in a holy light by the Harpers, providing a greater cohesive bond for the society. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dragonriders_of_Pern   (3459 words)

Telgar Weyr 12th Pass Pern is so far out in the middle of nowhere, the FSP will never find them again, and they have a map. Due to Pern's more communal society, children are more the property of their homes (the hold, Weyr, or Hall) than their parents. RPGs based on the Dragonriders of Pern are frowned on, or, in extreme cases, prosecuted according to law (see above). telgar.org /tunnel/dlgtofandom.htm   (3861 words)

ecoonomy.html After the standard value has been determined by the Crafts, a limited number of Marks is distributed to them; with these, they get their supplies from the Holds, and services from the Weyrs. The Mark is not supported like most RL monetary systems on some sort of priceless metal; its sole foundation is daily labor. And while it fluctuates a good deal, from service to service, it can probably be roughly summed up that the Mark is the equivalent of work that the average man can do in an average month's work. www.altpet.net /vrpet/pernworld/faq/ecoonomy.html   (3428 words)

[Pern Paradise] - [Forum] If the hold-born candidate impressed they joined the elite society of Pern and found themselves in the position to provide for their families indefinitely, of course that was if you impressed and were not mauled on the sands, survived the distaste from Weyr-born candidates, were not passed over or tried to run Over the next five hundred and so odd years the Weyrs of Pern developed a sub-culture that was uniquely their own and seemingly alien to the rest of Pern. If the holders let the children go willingly, poor hungry holds and cotholds were given ‘compensation gifts of goods, food and supplies’ if not they took the youngsters anyway and expressed their displeasure with harsher taxation or sometimes worse. pernparadise.avidgamers.com /forum.o5105439.x1103435894.html   (3428 words)

McCaffrey. The Renegades of Pern. As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky. From Pern's dissidents and from the criminal class rises a band of renegades, against whom no one is safe—until Aramina comes forth. The Lady Thella's renegades were the most dangerous yet—all they needed was Aramina, whose telepathic link with dragons could help them evade the dragonrider patrols. www.robbsbooks.com /rmccaff1.htm   (179 words)

Dragon's Kin (Dragonriders of Pern (Audio)) [UNABRIDGED] - Anne McCaffrey Young Kindan has no expectations other than joining his father in the mines of Camp Natalon, a coal mining settlement struggling to turn a profit far from the great Holds where the presence of dragons and their riders means safety and civilization.

Epinions.com - Pern: An historic overview of Rukbat’s third planet Due to the relative lack of natural resources such as metal, and the susceptibility of wooden structures to the ravages of Thread, the people of Pern have to live in stone holds that are immune to Threadfall. During 50-year Passes in which the red planet travels closest to Pern, the Thread is able to cross interplanetary space to fall into Pern's atmosphere and burn through both vegetation and animal life, wreaking havoc on the inhabitants of Pern. A rogue planet orbiting the same sun is covered with a pernicious parasite known as Thread to the Pernese. www.epinions.com /content_4100432004   (1344 words)

Greencrater Weyr Green Crater Weyr is situated just off the coast of the Southern Continent of Pern on an island completely made up of the remains of a once active volcano and set in the final months before the beginning of the Eighth Pass of the Red Star. Though there are no official Holds nor Crafthalls to protect, the dragonriders of Green Crater hold the oath they took tightly to their hearts - dragonmen must fly when Thread is in the sky! Officially considered a 'Rogue Weyr' by the Northern Weyrs, Green Crater is a haven for all those that have been black listed, banished or who, for reasons of their own have chosen to leave. www.pbm.com /~lindahl/pbm_list/descriptions/990921931.17534.html   (1258 words)

An Introduction to Anne McCaffrey's Pern Five of the six Weyrs are empty and most of the people of Pern don't believe that Thread will fall again--a result of an extra-long Interval of over 400 years, or Turns as they are now called, since the previous Pass. Events culminate in All the Weyrs of Pern and The Dolphins of Pern, in which the dragonriders try to forever end the incursions of Thread with the help of rediscovered technology of the original colonists. The return of the Red Star threatens disaster for Pern, unless a strong-willed woman can be found before the last golden egg hatches, and a young, visionary man can find a way to unite and lead his fellow dragonriders. www.srellim.org /pern/oldsite/intro.htm   (1544 words)

Opus's Reviews The Earth Federation holds claim to most of the one-time empire planets and the technology left behind on them, but the story follows a group of traders from Venus, who use piracy and violence to get the trade goods and technology their Venesian society requires. Now, it was a forgone conclusion that I would be buying this hardback the instant I found it, since Pern is one of my favorite places to visit. In the television series based novels, the end of the story always must reset the plot and characters back to the status quo, so as not to conflict with the television adventures. www.opusgames.com /books/books2.html   (8303 words)
