Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

After the disappearance of the red star, science was allowed to skyrocket on pern. With the dragons no longer really necessary as a defense on pern but with lots of people still anxious about the red star, scientists decided to genetically manipulate dragon DNA to mix with human DNA to create smaller, more efficient dragons. The result was the newhalfs, they were smaller and needed less food. This way they had a fail safe for when the red star returned without having to waste resources on the big dragons.
Thus the dragons fell into disfavor, starting to grow few in number and much smaller than they once had been. A small group didn’t want the dragons to die out though, trying to use the same biological engineering to return the dragons to their former size. Most of their tinkering was done with a white dragon as a basis, but it didn’t do much to increase their size. Instead, white dragons became more common and new dragon colors started to appear. Dragons without colors, completely grey scaled, dragons with extremely bright hides and dragons in a dazzling array of colors appeared.
Seeing the rise in dragonic numbers as a potential threat to the establishing newhalfs the newhalf supporters started a genocide on the remaining dragon population, killing all dragons, safe for a few eggs that managed to escape notice. The people that still supported the dragons took these eggs and fled. The eggs hatched and impressed in relative safety, but the hatchlings no longer seemed to care about a person’s gender, there were just too few candidates for them.
These new riders and their dragons decided to found a new weyr, far away from the newhalfs. Founding it in the eastern island archipelago, where people used to be banished for heavy crimes. They started Uprising weyr. But turns passed and yet none of the dragons rose. However, the largest Greyscale has started to glow, could it be that more eggs will soon fill the sands?

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
Currently:
*Greeth has risen and a clutch will soon adore the sands of the weyr
*The first newhalfs have showed their face at the weyr, are they all as peacefull as the bronze leader or will some come with more darker intentions?
*The grayscale 'queen' had allowed not one but two males to catch. How will things work out with two weyrleaders?
