Passionate | Political | Brutal
Some time after the ninth pass, a celestial event called the Skyfire changed Pern forever. In the aftermath of the Skyfire, tens of thousands of people and thousands of dragons died in a land wracked by earthquake, volcanism, fire, and atmospheric pollution. Those that survived lived lives of battle and struggle for minimal resources and for survival. Most of history was lost, and Pern was 'born again,' a new world.
More than six hundred years after the Skyfire, Pern is a smaller place. Its social center is the capital, Telgar, a vast city and the seat of the regent who acts as Lord of Pern. To him pay fealty the lords of all the houses, the harper and scholar masters, and the Weyrleader of Pern's only known weyr. Harpers serve as politicians and lawyers while an elite craft called the scholars studies what remains of the ancient world and leverages belief into power within the modern one. Dragons still fly and thread occasionally falls, but in this world little is truly as it seems. Rumbling in the belly of society, secret societies like the Faith and revolutionary movements like the Resistance grow in number and in power.
After Skyfire is a Dragonriders of Pern roleplaying game designed with the goal of cooperatively creating an epic tale of drama and conflict. Incorporating elements of medieval social, political, and philosophical structure, After Skyfire offers a wide variety of character types in a uniquely challenging setting.
