Something Evil
27th October 2005, 07:53 PM
Though not a game set at Pern, this is a game I created years ago and ran until I handed it over to one of the players this summer-- me not really having the time it needed. Lentheas is still running, but I'm sure that the owner would love more players, so I decided to post this here.
------
The last ten years have been devastating ones for Lentheas. An attack
on a hatching at Aurgath Lair precipitated a war that lasted over
nine years. Fighting between gryphons, dwarves and centaurs on one
side and dragons, humans and elves on the other wiped out at least
half of the dragon and gryphon population of the world, along with
thousands of humans, elves, dwarves and centaurs. Other species
including the nagas, wyverns and unicorns suffered too.
In the end, the war was finally stopped in part through sheer
exhaustion on both sides, and in part through the efforts of the
leviathans, who still remember the horror wrought by the first wars
at the birth of Lenthean dragonkind, and grieved deeply at the losses
of the new conflict.
It is in large part thanks to the efforts of the leviathans that a
great experiment has begun: WinterSun settlement. Before the war,
WinterSun was a relatively new breeding lair for dragons. Now it is a
cross-species settlement, where dragons, gryphons and their partnered
species seek to heal the wounds of the past and live together
peacefully. The settlement is looking forward to an infusion of new
life, as both dragons and gryphons will soon celebrate a Hatching.
Elsewhere in Lentheas, the larger dragon Lairs have been attempting
to raise and train new rider/dragon pairs before sending them out to
seek their fortunes and calling elsewhere in the world. Aurgath Lair,
which along with Aurgath City was particularly devastated early in
the war, is now one of the few viable breeding Lairs on Lentheas. It
too is looking to celebrate a Hatching, and dragonrider candidates
are sorely needed.
Aurgath City has finally been almost completely rebuilt, though it
has a long way to go to approach its days of glory before the war.
The smaller towns and villages of Lentheas are frequently in peril
from rogue humans, dwarves and centaurs, along with many roving bands
of goblins, who have thrived and actually grown in numbers over the
chaotic years of war. Travel alone is an extremely risky business.
Many dragonriders serve as the protectors of villages and towns, or
as messengers and escorts between settlements.
