Description

This is a fun MOO based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series of books.

Description:

Role playing world based on the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. Harper's Tale takes place in the late 9th Interval. Harper's Tale exists on and around Ista Island, which is only a small part of Pern. They have not built Pern in its entirety, because they lack the players to populate such a large virtual space, and they also feel that a smaller environment leads to more roleplay and better interaction among players. ^[1]

The timeline of the MOO is set during the 10th pass of the Red Star that brings thread to Pern, and events from the book All The Weyrs Of Pern on through the rest of the series are disreguarded. The Pernese found the A.I.V.A.S computer in the spaceship of their ancestors, but it was broken and they couldn't learn from it, so thread will always fall. None of the characters in prevous books of the series set before that time are alive, and will never be allowed to be played, though they can be mentioned. The main playing of Harper's Tale focuses mostly in Ista Hold and Ista Weyr, but there are a few other holds and weyrs as well that can be roleplayed in. ^[2] ^[3]
