Dawn Watch Timeline

0AE

  • An unknown event kicks off the start of the end of the world as known by the people of the time.

15AE

  • Benden Weyr is abandoned. All but one of the queens who move to other weyrs are noted as being completely sterile.

50AE

  • An unidentified creature begins stealing livestock and causing havoc in Benden territory.
  • Ista Weyr is abandoned

51AE

  • The slow exodus from Benden territory begins, as the night-time attacks by the unknown creature take their toll on the holders.

52AE

  • Silver firelizards begin to hatch

57AE

  • The first Silver dragons begin to hatch. Over the course of the turn they appear in several clutches in several locations, proving the mutation widespread.

59AE

  • Silver Whers begin to hatch

200AE

  • Seventeen turn old Isyldi of Gold Karynoth ascends to the position of Senior Weyrwoman of Fort.
  • Green Callynth of Landing lays the first Pearl dragon. They are initially thought to be sports.
  • One of Callynth's bronze brothers catches a Gold at High Reaches. The clutch produces several pearls.

203AE

  • A second generation of pearls begins to hatch. They are declared to be a true new colour.

243AE

Summer

  • A queen egg graces the High Reaches sands, the first in many turns. However it hatches a brilliantly yellow and red gold-copper chimera, Kirolth, a dragon deemed unacceptable by the extremely traditionalist weyr.

245AE

Spring

  • Whispers of resettling one of the old weyrs begin to float about among the common folk of the weyr.

Summer

  • Ista Weyr is resettled by a trio of queenriders, one each from Fort, High Reaches and Landing. Gold Yorith, Silver Felarth and Gold-Copper Kirolth are the founding queens.
  • Gold-Copper Kirolth is the first to rise, and is declared Senior by the other two queenriders.

249AE

Winter

  • Honshu’s single regularly clutching dragon, an older copper, goes between when her rider passes away.

250AE

Autumn

  • Another queen egg is laid at High Reaches. Once again a chimera is the result, this one gold and blue. Her name is Chelth.

252AE

Spring

  • Dawn Watch Weyr is founded, resettling the ruins of what was once Big Bay Weyr on the Western Continent. Gold Wrenth and Gold-Blue Chelth reside as founding queens.
  • Gold Wrenth rises and is caught by Bronze Yunjith, confirming Zihuea as Senior Weyrwoman and R'lan as Weyrleader.
  • Gold-Blue Chelth discovers her ability to teleport between dimensions, bringing back two new weyrlings (Blue Brayrolth and Copper Jeyeth) with her, as her passengers have impressed at one of the places she visited before returning.
  • Dawn Watch begins sending candidates to other worlds, and acting as a hub for those who wish to come to this one.
  • Iribel returns to Dawn Watch with a pair of Gem Dragons in tow.

Summer

  • Gold Wrenth lays a clutch of 14 eggs
  • Wrenth's clutch hatches 15 healthy babies. Many choose off-worlders for their bonds, and thus there are only a handful of new weyrlings.
  • Sylden returns to Dawn Watch with Imperial Court Purple Saniyath
  • Copper Hectith rises and is caught by Blue Draenath

Autumn

  • Permission is given for genetic engineers to work on Hectith's eggs
  • Sylden recruits S’rul of Blue Virarth.
  • Copper Hectith lays a clutch of 10 eggs
  • Hectith's clutch hatches 10 healthy babies. All possess some level of colour mutation as a result of the genetic tinkering.
  • Kaemali of Copper Kaemalisk and Brown Kaemask makes contact with the local Wild Wher pack. The interaction is friendly, and a tentative alliance is born.
  • Gold-Blue Chelth rises and is caught by Vibrance, a Pyrrhian Rainwing
  • Copper Kaemalisk rises and is caught by a passing Wild Brown
  • Lady Laria returns to Dawn Watch with a bonded Drakkari, Moon Ripple, and Lady Kaeri returns with fae-touched Cyan Chaenioth. With both of them now impressed, the future leadership of Honshu is considered secure, though both plan to stay at Dawn Watch for the time being.

Winter

  • Xendel returns to Dawn Watch with Gold Tirzhik. With Tirzhik confirmed to be a queen, he is offered a role working directly under Zihuea, but declines, preferring to take up his original intended position with the Farmcraft.
  • A group of candidates are sent to the Imperial Guard hatching at the Vella Crean Labs. The four candidates return with five dragonets in tow, Red Danikinth, Red Caciath, Blue Kausalyath, Green Hedvikath and the unbonded Green Saoireseth.
  • Chelth lays 10 eggs
  • Sylden and S’rul begin work on the Polar Wher project
  • Kaemalisk lays 8 eggs
  • Chelth's eggs hatch. One egg hatches what seems to be a pure rainwing, while of the rest, a little under half show hybrid traits and the remaining are all unusual in one way or another.
  • Kaemalisk's clutch hatches a healthy group of wherlets.
  • Green Dianath and White Ailith rise within days of each other. Soon after, the pair prove to be pregnant.
  • Shortly before Turn's End, the Imperial Guard hatchlings, along with several other people, vanish. Only a handful of people in leadership positions know where they have gone and rumours about what's happened run rampant through the weyr.

253

Spring

  • The Polar Wher clutch hatches.
  • Saniyath rises while offworld, mating with the Crowned Imperial Phantasos. With Sylden being very concerned about the potential for the Death Court to try and attend the hatching to steal themselves away another imperial, plans previously made begin to be put into action.
  • Green Dianath and White Ailith lay their clutches, 4 and 2 eggs respectively.
