The ninth pass was nothing like what you may have known it to be like. Lessa never went back in time to bring the five Weyrs forward to save Pern in the onset of the ninth pass, though she did exist. AIVAS was never discovered. Though the danger of Thread did not end, things still changed at that time. Holders and riders expanded onto the southern continent, the intelligence of dolphins became known, and there was a Lord Holder named Jaxom with a little white dragon named Ruth. With their amazing ability to always know when they were in time, they were well recorded in the history of the time. Still, time past, Thread stopped raining from the sky once again for an interval, and soon there was only golds, bronzes, browns, and green dragons on Pern once again.

Another interval, another pass, in which dragons continued to get steadily larger in size and expansion on the southern continent continued, especially during the time when thread didn't rain from the sky. Then, far into the interval after the tenth pass, another white dragon was born at Benden Weyr. Her name was Teth and she Impressed to a girl named Circe. Though noted and revered for her amazing ability to between through time like the old Ruth, Teth was not thought of as distinctly special. Larger than the male white from the past, she was still small and was only good in threadfall due to her agility. Her true value didn't become apparent until she was four turns old and she had her first flight in which she was caught by a brown named Cesarith.

Three months later, in the 152nd turn of the interval, Teth laid a clutch of two eggs on the hatching sands, much to the surprise of everyone but a bemused Circe. The eggs hardened on the sands over the next month and, to the surprise of some still, hatched. The larger egg of the pair was the first to hatch and revealed no bronze or brown but rather a metallic gray-orange colored dragonet that was later dubbed to be colored as an iron. The second egg produced a little black dragonet that was given a name fitting of its color. The two were Stelinth and Pelth and Impressed to two boys named D'bor and B'ion. Specially trained, the two boys and their dragons grew up under the scrutiny of the public. D'bor flourished in the attention and lived up to the honor of that iron Stelith kept. It also quickly became apparent that, though black Pelth would be small, Stelinth would be a King and would rival any bronze and a Queen or two in size.

At the age of two turns, the iron made a streak for weyrleadership when he flew in the pursuit of a junior Queen, Larith. He won and his rider took up his position beside his new weyrmate, Paaie. The clutch that Larith produced from that flight held new, somewhat expected surprises. Along with a black, an iron, a male white, and a collection of the old colors, the other eggs produced a delicate pink, a little gray, and a fierce copper Queen named Selith. From there, the new colors only expanded from clutches from the new Queen, who also produced a copper daughter amongst the eggs of her clutches once she grew, or from a Queen caught by an iron or a bronze with new blood in him, or even from some of the new clutching females like whites. Even more new colors cropped up as well over the next few dozen more turns - reds, oranges, purples, and yellows were added to the ranks of the others. The colors even started to pervade into whers and firelizards, as somehow a copper, a red, or an iron cropped up in the clutches of one of their queens at the Weyrs.

The eleventh pass approached but the Lord Holders were pressing for expansion onto the untouched western continent. Despite arguments from the Weyrs, a bold young holder's son with backing from his from his father organized a large group of holdless, young men, and crafters and moved to the bay in the strait of the western continent in the 192nd year of the pass. They formed Western Hold, which shelters the Western Harperhall and Western Fisherhall. The Weyrs agreed that a Weyr needed to be formed in order to the protect the already large cliff side hold. D'bor and Paaie with Larith and Stelinth volunteered to form the new weyr with a select group of new riders, many of them of the new colors. Leading their group of riders and a small group of crafters and weyrfolk as well, they moved into the mountain island in what became known as Crescent Bay. Several more riders, including a young copperrider named Fajra and her dragon, Kalith, joined them during the construction of the Weyr but the group remained small.

With the confirmation of the new Weyr, another hold was set in motion in the little inlet off Crescent Bay. Though it harbored the Western Dolphinhall as well as the Western Minerhall, it was called Crescent Hold. Sadly, just after the completion of the final chambers for the original plan of the Weyr, D'bor died and Stelinth betweened and was soon followed by Paaie and Larith. In honor of the revered old ironrider, the Weyr was dubbed Dalibor after his old name. To mark the new hold, the new Weyr, the death of the respected old weyrleaders, and the coming of Fajra and Kalith in their place, a gathering was set to be held at Crescent. Still, the next pass approaches, and a Weyr with less than a quarter of the strength it needs, and help of some wherhandlers, must find a way to protect a new, half-discovered continent.

This is just the beginning of our story.
