Fort’s newest, last, and only goldrider is left facing a hazy dawn
with few answers and oh-so-many terrible questions.
‘What now?’ isn’t one of them. She knows *exactly* what she’s going to do...
Get even.
The dark *is* rising again.... do you dare to face it?

Welcome to our canon early 8th Pass Fort Weyr,
a.k.a. Arisen Dark: Fort Weyr!
For information about joining our mailing list, go here.
We are a Pern play-by-email game, the official sequel of Dark Fort which stood as an offshoot of Arolos Weyr (a.k.a. the Weyr That Will Never Die) . Our game, just like Dark Fort, is intended to serve a slightly smaller, more "adult" audience than most other games. Because of the darker atmosphere of our Fort, no members under the age of 15 will be accepted.
The Fort Weyr of our game is very much not a charming place. Yes, there is laughter and love and joy, the Weyr would be a very sad place if there wasn't. However, opposing them stands centuries of tradition, of oppression, of short-sightedness and arrogance. Homophobia is very much prevalent, though its been twisted in such a way that it will function in a Weyr, where homosexual relationships are unavoidable.
Color- ranking is strict and ever present. Gold and bronzeriders are the elite and are always above all the others while browns serve as their steadfast and favorited deputies. Blue and greenriders have learned and had it drilled into them that “Yes sir, of course sir!” is the only way to get through life with minimal incidents. Women have it much harder as they are considered only good for breeding or being drudges with the lucky few becoming goldriders. Only freak girls Impress green or, far worse for them, blue. It is well known that girls are only ever Searched for *gold* eggs, but in actuality that Search could be because the Searchrider saw a pretty face then their dragon seeing a good Candidate. And now...there are strangers in the Weyr as well.
Open rebellion of ‘The Way Things Are’ ends in failure... People have tried and others have ‘disappeared’ in the night or been put on point during Threadfall. Only quiet, subtle disagreement is the way things have a hope of changing where they can live to see it. Especially now that a small bunch of fools has cost the Weyr its chance at moderation.
Can you deal with saving the world in turns instead of days, if you can change things at all? Can you imagine someone totally disinterested in being a hero, or does your imagination lead you to those who oppose either the establishment or those who seek change? If that seems up your alley then welcome to Fort and we have one last question:
Are you afraid of the dark?...
