It is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass. After 450 Turns of threadfree skies, after five generations of Pernese who believed that thread was gone forever, the ancient menace has returned once again, bringing an end to what was, for some, a golden age and, for others, nearly the end of their entire way of life. While the Holds and Halls prospered during the Long Interval, expanding their lands and their learning, the Weyrs crumbled. The juxtaposition between the lives of holders and the lives of riders is nowhere as stark as it is on Ista Island. Here, the Lord of Ista and his family have enjoyed a life of luxury and opulence while the dragonriders of Ista were all but forgotten, the Weyr itself abandoned. But, with thread's return, everything has changed. Those holders who settled the smaller islands of Ista and created new farmholds outside the original coverage areas find themselves now as refugees; the Weyr cannot be expected to fly full coverage over these new regions, and burrows are legion. While some point the finger at the Weyr for failing to protect the new farms, others lay blame on the Lords of Ista, whose greed is the reason the lands were expanded in the first place. Whatever the case, Ista Island must face the Fifth Pass. However they can.

Wanted Characters- Candidates - As we will now be proceeding with our first Hatching, we are encouraging people to play Candidate concepts. More info here.
- Dragonriders - The complete list of desired concepts is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg46#msg46
o Bronzeriders - With a leadership plot set to begin as soon as possible, we will be in dire need of bronzeriders/Wingleaders. In particular, we could use a bronzerider whose dragon is known to be, well, quite amorous! He's flown both of Ista's junior queens in all of their Flights.
o Weyrlingmaster - Information about our take on weyrlinghood can be read here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?page=wlinghood
o Ambitious Brownrider - We're eager to see a brownrider who doesn't like the idea of being constrained by his dragon's color.
- Holders - Ista Hold is poised as a place with a lot of room for social and political maneuvering. The complete list of desired concepts is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg47#msg47
o Twin Sons - Lord Taliven has not officially named an Heir; he has two sons, twins, and both are eager to take the position.
o Ambitious Daughter - With no official Heir named, at least one of Taliven's many daughters would like to see herself named as Heir. Why should gender be the deciding factor, after all?
- Additional Characters - We have a lot of openings for green, blue, and brownriders, a firelizard trader, half-Bloods of Ista Hold, refugees who have lost their farms because of threadfall, a Headwoman for Ista Weyr, a Steward for Ista Hold, and many more. The complete list of desired concepts is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg43
Address: www.istaisland.comSetting: Fifth Pass, Ista Island, read more hereCanon Level: Moderate to high (no new colors but women still Impress green and may Impress blue in the future), read more here

Plot SynopsisIt is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass, following hot on the heels of 450 Turns of threadfree skies during the Long Interval. The Weyrs are climbing out of the long destitution that the Interval brought, including Ista Weyr, where things are far from idyllic. A power-hungry junior goldrider has been poisoning the Weyrwoman in an effort to take the Weyr for herself; the Weyrleader is spineless and weak-willed, and none of the other bronzeriders are much better. At the Hatching, eight eggs were left unhatched, a sure sign of the failing of the queen. The nearby Ista Hold isn't doing much better with an aging Lord who has yet to designate an Heir from among his twin sons. To make matters worse, the poor threadfighting by the Weyr has cost many holders their homes and livelihoods, inundating Ista Hold with refugees. About UsIsta Island is an active, energetic community of roleplayers. We have plots - large, game-wide plots run by staff and smaller, personal plots among the players - to help keep things lively and fresh. We're a mostly canon site, offering the five traditional colors; women still Impress green in our timeline, and there may be a possibility for women to ride blue in the future. Staff is active and helpful, running events, storylines, and contests, and the players are welcoming and friendly. Wanted CharactersDragonriders - The complete list of desired concepts is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg46#msg46o Goldrider - We have an opening for one mature goldrider at this time. More information is here: www.istaisland.com/index.php?topic=22.msg1129#msg1129o Bronzeriders - With a leadership plot underway that will decide a new Weyrwoman and Weyrleader for Ista, we are still encouraging bronzerider concepts. o Brown, blue, and greenriders - Male characters for all colors are open.
