Killarney VS Fort

There are currently two groups of dragonriders. Most are currently situated in the Northern Continent and are protecting those helping to build Fort. Once completed, Fort will be the primary base, if not residence, for the general human population. Still in the South are the Killarney riders. Granted use of the abandoned stake, these riders have chosen to remain behind until everyone has gone north. Should some elect to remian permanently, theoretically the Killarney riders will do so as well. That bridge, however, will be dealt with once closer.

There is frequent communication between the two groups, as Killarney has only two queens and a handful of bronze dragons at the moment. Many more of the greens and blues chose to stay south, however, due to the increasingly cramped quarters in the north. At Killarney, dragons and riders build or claim a clearing and modify to their needs. The thick jungle growth provides plenty of privacy, but paths must also be trimmed daily to prevent overgrowth. There are scientists looking for a bug repellant, but as yet they have been unsuccessful for the most part. Larger pests, such as tunnelsnakes, are not a problem, but trundlebugs and the like have ben known to wander into a personal weyr, as the spaces are becoming known.

Now, out-of-character, our focus is on Killarney because that is where the confrontation between dragons and whers will take place. Burrows are a much more serious problem in the jungle, and with the thick canopies, the heat-sensitive whers can work much longer hours; the UV radiation that is the most damaging to their eyes is mostly blocked.
