#Farmcraft

I was very surprised to see them add farmcraft into the game. I'm not the best at building with it yet, but it's fun.

Thought of the Moment: We know the elite on Pern will foster their daughters at the Harper Hall, but do you think they do the same with other Halls? Like, if your main business is fish, are you more likely to send your daughter off to the Fishcraft Hall to make business connections and write back about the latest developments before a new Journeyman can make it out your way? Or is it all Harper Hall all the time so all the noble young ladies being fostered are making connections with each other and can use that to the advantage of their families?

I suppose part of it would depend on how you’re intending to marry them off. If you’ve got a marriage arranged to a probable heir you probably want her to go the Harper Hall and make connections with all the other ‘hopefully future Lords’ wives’, while if it’s likely the husband of one of your daughters is going to end up your heir you’d probably prefer your daughters know the business of your Hold more intimately just to be on the safe side.

And if you’re expecting your daughter to take over as the Hold’s next wherhandler you probably don’t foster her at all, or you foster her to a Wherhold- which we know existed in at least the Third Pass if not later.

FemFebruary: Brekke

Farmcraft. Queen rider. Ran Southern in the face of Kylara's bad writing dereliction of duty. Tragedy personified. Brekke being Searched and fixating on F'nor is an interesting choice, I will say. I do not, actually, believe in love at first sight. But that's the trope she lives. You could not ask for a more different kind of woman as our main feminine influence in DragonQuest than her, compared to Lessa of the previous book.

Brekke is not ambitious, per se, but she believes in doing her duty to the maximum of her capability. She also has that particular trait of being overly willing to take on things. See: raising Wirenth, helping with the numbweed processing, raising Mirrim, running Southern in all but name, and devoting herself to the worst cases of dragon and rider injury. That she DID take on F'nor's care might have been one of her few selfish moments, as it allowed her access to him, even though his wound was mostly straight-forward and could have been delegated.

Her empathy rating must have been off the chart, and unlike the other two 'speaks to all dragons', hers is married to a need to nurture. Anne taking her dragon from her (would it not have been more interesting to survive, and be grounded, as she later did with F'lessan's dragon?) was a stroke of cruelty when F'nor's and Canth's lives would be at such stake? And then. Then she and F'nor just fade into the background. They are silent effigies for the remainder of the series.

Personally, I hate the Queen Fight. It highlights a problem with Anne and escalation of tension, and of course thoroughly rams home the fact she had issues with blonde women who had sex drives. Outside of letting that define Brekke, I was left with an impression of a woman who only lived in acts of service.

(The sex thing was… ick. All of the being a virgin, F'nor pushing the issue, and how it was not really addressed after.)

I like how I picked up a bunch of nifty games on the last Steam sale and then immediately abandoned all of them for Stardew Valley

My justification is that I did, in fact, dip into several of the newer games before the sweet siren call of the valley lured me away, and also I've only played Stardew Valley on my PS4, not the computer, which means all those hours I've spent on it in the past don't actually count

Pern Au Lore Snippets 2

Because the last post got too long for me even under the readmore! Same deal as last time- feel free to steal my ideas if you think they fit your RP or something. I don’t mind sharing my sandbox, even if AM didn’t want to share with her fans ^^

For clarification about climate and geography, I’m using the first map that popped up when I searched “map of pern” in google. The map in my closest Pern series book only covered the Northern Continent and it kinda had half the middle get swallowed up by the spine area ^^;

Continuing from the Crafthall splits-

There’s generally minor Crafthalls wherever there’s a relevant concentration of resources, i.e. the weavercrafthall in the High Reaches, with journeymen being sent out to other holds as needed. That’s how you tend to get most laypeople for crafting- they learned just enough from a journeyman to make stuff that works for their local hold, and then passed down that knowledge after the journeyman had gone back to their Hall.

The Smithcraft hall is basically the closest thing to the Catholic Church Pern has in this AU, mainly as it’s pretty much the only major craft left to have a central authority point. Minecraft (lol), woodcraft, ceramics, glass, and the like all got mostly subsumed into the Smithcraft. Operations-wise, it’s more like Freemasonry than a religion, but the sheer fact that the Mastersmith is one of the few real continental-level authorities has meant that they’ve been able to make or break wars and inter-hold conflicts like nobody else. Sure, you’d still want a Harper to actually negotiate anything, but it’s kinda difficult to keep a war going if the Smiths refuse to make you weapons and armor to keep the war going. 

Possible, but difficult.

The Harpercraft Hall has basically split in two- the Eastern and Western halls. The Western hall is basically what you get in the Harper Hall trilogy- basically entirely focused around music with a side of espionage. The Eastern hall is more generally focused on the decorative arts as well as music, from all the different kinds of painting to lacemaking. The Western hall gets more cred for being the older one, but in general it’s a weird case where many of the small holders aren’t even really aware there’s two Harper Halls- pretty much everyone thinks that whichever one is supplying their local Harpers is the one to look to. The split is basically down whatever river Lemos hold is on- west of that looks to the Harper Hall in Fort, east looks to the Hall located just to the east of Benden Hold proper.

The Weavercraft hall has no real central figure by the “modern” day in my AU- There’s a handful of smaller Halls scattered around the continent that all have slightly different specialties. There used to be a main Hall in Boll, but due to a few spats between Weavercraftmasters and a few wars between major Lord Holders, that broke down about a thousand years prior to the meat of the AU. Leathermaking suffered a similar fate.

Farmcraft and the related crafts of brewing and animal husbandry went pretty much the same way, but did so much earlier. What grows where is so highly local that the central crafthall isn’t always going to be able to help more than your neighbor could, and as for brewing? Nobody wants a central office telling them how to make their alcohol. Nobody.

Basically every hold has their own alcohol-making scheme, especially if they’re in an area where the water can be Sketchy. Pretty uncommon for the alcohol to be of any strength, though- even Benden’s wines will get watered down for drinking with meals, much as the Romans did. Teas and tisanes is a relatively common substitute in areas where supplies for such can be grown, and can be a fairly profitable export to areas where tea isn’t grown. Klahbark trees have enough varieties and is grown in enough places that it’s a pretty ubiquitous drink, at least for the large-to-medium holds. Smaller holds kinda depend on finding a local stand of the stuff.

Bread is fairly common in areas where wheat and barley and the like can grow, but tubers (potatoes) are generally the go-to choice for most medium-to-small holds in areas that will support them. Rice only really happens on Ista and just a bit of Boll, but exports of the stuff tend to be considered a luxury food for northern areas. Corn is actually very commonly grown, frequently alongside tubers, but three-sisters style growing is extremely common around Benden. Cornbread is occasionally eaten in the western end of the Northern continent, but the West tends to view corn more as animal fodder than anything else; the Eastern end of the continent uses corn both for animal and people food, but the people food more often takes the form of something closer to how Hispanic/Latin American food tends to take it- nixtamalized flatbreads, mainly.

Meats are actually fairly common, mainly in dried/smoked/salted/otherwise preserved forms, but fresh meat is hardly unheard of. There’s pretty large swaths of land that can’t easily be put under crops, but also can’t have timber stands or orchards due to worries about Thread. Leads to lots of herdbeast farming. Which kind of meat is most common depends on the area, but sheep/mutton is actually the most common outside of Wherry, followed by beef/cow. Pidgeons are actually the most common fowl meat- chicken operations are mostly around Fort and Ruatha, but pidgeons are a bit better about avoiding the kinds of tunnelsnakes and wherries the eastern continent has.

Wherry’s a catchall term for any Pernese avian. The kind most often eaten is basically turkey, but there’s a good handful of leaner and meaner varieties that are just killed to keep them from harassing the farm animals.

 Wherrys, tunnelsnakes, and fire lizards are HARDLY the only local fauna beyond fish. Pernese ecology is just as wild and varied as Earth ecology.

Therefore, I have decided that Unicorns exist on Pern. They’re megafauna left over from Pern’s last ice age, much like a single-horned moose with six legs. They mostly avoid human settlement, but sometimes they’ll start nibbling at outlying fields of crops or newly-planted timber stands or orchards, and then you’ve gotta call in the wyer to get rid of them, because they get mean as wild boars around easy food sources. Dragons are pretty much the only way to get rid of them without getting a few holders killed trying to hunt ‘em down.
