Weyrs for Weyrlings
We invite all weyrlings to look through the weyr descs included here and to request one or more favorites. As soon as your choice is crossed off here, you may assume that you have your weyr.
- Shades of Blue Weyr
Ledge
A broad ledge but narrow where it’s exposed to the elements, there’s just enough room for a dragon to land at the widest point. Nicely covered from the weather, however, it cuts deep into the bowl wall, creating quite the cozy shelter for its occupant — even the harshest of winds would be hard pressed to drive rain or snow all the way inside. The floor is scuffed and scarred from the passage of many, many talons, with a noticable impression forming a ‘couch’ for a dragon to lounge in. A narrow archway situated to the far left of center, leads into the main weyr.
Weyr
Directly upon entering the weyr, a sharp right turn is required, and two shallow steps up taken to reach the main chamber. Niches for glows line the upper part of the wall in the entrance alcove and the entire weyr proper; no natural light ever reaches here. Wide, with a high ceiling, there is a sense of spaciousness even if actual floor space is limited. The walls have been coated with a layer of sky blue paint to brighten up the place, somewhat smudged and darkened near the hearth. A musty tapestry in need of a good cleaning hangs upon the back wall, blocking the entryway to a second, smaller chamber. Here, the walls are painted a darker, midnight blue, a bed frame and small wardrobe having been left behind by the previous occupant. - Spooky Experiment Weyr
Ledge
Low in the bowl, this long ledge is so slim that it has an air of fragility despite its sturdy state. In a prime spot for an occupant to catch the morning sun, its smooth surface would lend itself well to comfortable sunbathing, yet if more than one decent-sized dragon wishes to occupy it, there might have to be some careful arranging and lying close.
Weyr
Beyond the ledge, the weyr’s mouth opens low and wide; low enough that any dragon larger than a brown will have to duck to make it safely inside without banged head or shoulders. The generous wallow lies curving along the left wall, a touch lopsided, one half deeper than the other, a number of coverless cushions lying abandoned at its deepest point. Evidence of there once having been hooks or shelves lining the opposite wall comes in the form of a line of holes at regular intervals, only to stop a foot or so from the somewhat jagged archway that leads to the rider’s quarters. With little sign of them having been occupied in the recent past, it’s a bit eerie how clean and utterly empty this chamber is, its oval shape unblemished save for wide hearth and shelf-bed (minus mattress). It might be that this weyr is one of a number that has been experimented on since the landslide, for it even has a small bathing pool tucked into one end of the room, the water warm, circulating and yet… rather shallow. With the entryway so slim, there’s difficulty in getting light to fill the space; those jagged edges threatening to cast creepy shadows. - Bright Baubles Weyr

Ledge
Not the easiest of ledges to land on, this broad outcropping is almost a wallow in itself and likely to collect rain during a downpour. The hollow dip in the rock is large enough to house two or more smaller dragons or create a fishpond, though it could also be an excellent, cosy spot for lazy lounging and sunbathing.
Weyr
The weyrs are cleaned out, they say. You’ll need furniture, they say. Not with this place, you won’t. The two bubble-shaped chambers that make up this weyr are absolutely crammed full of different pieces of furniture, only the slim dragon wallow neatly curving away from the entryway free of any clutter. Though the ample collection is clean, a lot of it has long gone out of style, the carvings too ornate and too flowery by turn, the wood used no longer that favoured by the best craftsmen. The iron-wrought double bed at the back of the first chamber is surrounded by chairs and footstools, the shelves carved into smooth walls full of little boxes and trinket-savers. Those smooth walls must have been blue at one time, now faded to grey that makes the place seem gloomy and turns the smaller cavern into an almost threatening place, with its sideboard and desk and moth-eaten comfy chair huddled together in the dark. - Stars At Night Weyr

Ledge
Jutting out like a diving board some way above the lake, this ledge is a rather odd shape, offering something of a runway to a landing dragon. A few souls must have miscalculated in the past, for its most prominent edge is graced with little gouges and claw marks, signs of scrabbling left behind. Sadly, the ledge above casts it in shadow for most of the day, though a few rays of sunshine might make it through at high noon.
Weyr
Tall, the entryway to the weyr opens up in a perfect arch, the rounded wallow sitting far back from the ledge, though granting a fine view out across the lake that could be impressive given the right season and weather. Only one shelf lines the walls and it’s unfortunately at just the right height for a mischievous dragon to knock items clear off it if they chose. Round to the right, the rider’s quarters are set out in a blocky L-shape, the smaller, squarer end currently closed-off by a rickety old screen that’s little more than a thin wooden frame with an all but see-through orange curtain flung over it. Indeed, the metal of the sturdy bed frame that lies beyond the screen can be spied through the material, a small desk and single wooden chair keeping the matress-less frame company, both tucked into one corner of the chamber. What has served as a living area is bigger, old glow-baskets still hanging from each corner of the room. The well-sized hearth looks to have been something of a focal point in days gone by, several brightly-coloured decorative ornaments crafted from glass still lining the mantel and sitting to either side. At present, the only furniture remaining is a relatively new-looking sofa, deep blue in colour and set in an awkward diagonal across the space.

Ledge
Short but deep, this ledge is just large enough to perch two medium blues or one larger dragon. Scooped out as if with a spoon, a sheltered recess protects the worn out hollow of the ‘couch’ from the worst vagaries of weather. A natural out-jut of stone has further seen the hand of some skilled craftsman, carved into a bench where one (or more) can fully enjoy the breathtaking view from being so high up. A heavy canvas curtain blocks off the entrance to the main weyr.
Weyr
A single large room, this weyr is actually quite spacious for being so high. A small hearth is cut into the left wall, the stone carved with a decorative border of oak leaves and acorns leading up to the narrow mantel. Situated in front of the hearth, sits an old, battered couch with a definite sag in its middle, with a large, round crocheted rag rug covering the floor before it. Cut right into the walls, a series of shelves provide ample storage space, the autumnal carvings continuing around their outer edges. A natural ‘counter’ of stone creates a small niche at the back of the weyr, more shelves cut into its base and light wooden doors attached to create cabinet space — once used for food and beverage storage, if the abandoned, dented kettle that sits alone at the back of a shelf is any indication. Opposite this ‘breakfast nook,’ a section of the room looks like it can be partitioned off with curtains hung from hooks in the ceiling to create a private sleeping area, though currently the hooks are bare, leaving a bedframe (lacking a headboard) and nightstand to sit exposed.

Ledge
Perhaps this ledge has been nibbled at over the turns. Or maybe the chips at its edges are merely claw-marks. Thin and hugged close to the bowl wall, it could be awkward to keep much company here, unless one dragon might be willing to sit in the weyr’s entrance. At least it catches the sun just right at dawn and dusk, casting a warm amber glow across both ledge and into the beginnings of the weyr.
Weyr
Small and cosy, this weyr makes up for lack of floor space by building upwards instead. For starters, its shelf-bed is only accessible via a short ladder of a little over five feet, mattress laid out in the rectangular box-shape cut into the wall. The box is tall enough for a grown man to stand in without fear of hitting their head or bringing down the collection of glows stashed in nooks in its ceiling, presumably meant to create a starry skyscape when uncovered. Shelving units and even cupboards are carved into the rock below, giving over much of the remaining space to the deep dragon wallow directly to the right of the entryway. What space is left might fit a wardrobe; a couch might sit precariously close to the wide hearth; a table and chair in the far corner.
