Shattermaw's aim is to provide a place for people to hang out and have fun with whatever they choose to play, while still having an underlying, dramatic plot to fuel interesting events and discoveries. Everyone is welcome, and there will hopefully be something interesting--and unusual!--for everyone.
There are no restrictions on Impression--men may Impress female Golds, women may Impress male Bronzes, and anything else. There are many non-canon colors which are more than just repainted versions of the original shades--they have their own unique quirks and characteristics. If your character is gay, straight, bi, or asexual--it makes no difference to the dragons of Shattermaw, and they will have just as many chances as anyone else!
Hundreds of Turns past the End of Thread...
...the skies have once again borne a strange and deadly enemy to Pern.
Aivas's gifts of technology are all but lost. The Weyrs are gone. The Holds are gone. Pern is under the control of a hostile invading race, the insectile Cetch, and they want nothing more than to eliminate every other thinking creature on Pern and have it for themselves.
Shattermaw Weyr is the last stand for Pern. Tucked into a sheltered mountain, it has lasted for over 40 turns against the vicious Cetch, though not without its setbacks. Desperately in need of more riders in the fight against the Cetch, their efforts at finding Candidates have redoubled in recent turns, and none--not even the least likely--can they afford to turn away from the Sands.
Fire-lizards and whers as they once were are extinct; fire-lizards have split into the semi-aquatic shardakes and the sky-master windrakes, and whers have become the bizarre subterranean buhrs.
Strange creatures known as skybix have been bonding with riders, though much about them is still unknown--and they are extremely rare, difficult and dangerous to find.
Dragons have changed--the rules for dragons are wildly different, colors are unpredictable, male Golds fly the skies and Impression is utterly unrestricted. Anyone at all seems to have infinite possibilities for Impression.
There are many more secrets that this strange new Pern holds, merely waiting to be discovered. Anyone at all could find themselves uncovering the key to victory over the Cetch, or the key to their own destruction...
