What is Search?
Search at Fort Weyr is done with canon and realism foremost in our mind. If you are familiar with the books, then you recognize that after a gold dragon has clutched her eggs the other dragons of that Weyr go out about Pern to find suitable candidates to stand at the Hatching. How they find these candidates is this: the dragons 'sense' a certain something in the people and they are asked to come back to the Weyr and stand. Since -our- dragons cannot sense this in people, we strive to make it as close to the experience of the books as possible, while still being able to realize what we are looking for in a dragonrider player. We do this in the following method:

1. An application process. Any interested party may fill out our application to be considered for Search.
2. An on-camera logged Roleplay session. This is usually done without the applicants knowledge - it's a means for us to see the roleplay ability and style of the applicant and helps us decide who is suitable for Candidacy.
3. A Candidacy period. Usually about 3-5 weeks long, depending on when the Candidate was searched, it allows the Weyr Council to see the potential dragonriders in close quarters and help us in the final decision making process.

Search is CLOSED, and we are currently going through IC Search. Look for the Hatching soon.
