Vyrzen Weyr is located on one of the many sunny beaches on the Southern Continent. Founded eleven Turns previously, it was built far different from the older Weyrs. Instead of the traditional great stone structure, the main Weyr is made up of many stone huts large enough for rider and dragon.
The Bowl is replaced by a clearing at the center of these huts. The Hatching Sands were put on the beach itself, protected on one side by the beach, and its back to a great stone cliff. In place of the Lower Caverns, a cluster of huts is where the public kitchens and such can be found, as well as where the few who are not riders live.
The three holds that tithe to the weyr are Vyrzen Hold, Cliffside Hold, and Blue Cove Hold. Vyrzen, the largest, is a bustling center near the sea with a large harbor for promoting trade. Caravans bustle to and from the hold to the other holds and the Weyr, taking and bringing goods and supplies from the North. Cliffside is just that, built into the side of a high-rising cliff. Their major activity is mining, though many a harper finds the place good for the muse. Blue Cove is also on the shore, but whereas Vyrzen is a harbor, Blue Cove specializes in farming. The land for miles around is fertile and strong, kept that way by the dedicated and skilled farmers who till it. The crops are always good and yields are high.
