Welcome to weyrlinghood at Western Weyr. The purpose of weyrlinghood is to give you a chance to bond with your lifemate, your fellow classmates, and the rest of the Weyr. It is also to give us time to show you our Weyr's unique culture and perspective on riderhood. It's a time that you should be enjoying and if you're not, we, the AWLMs and I, need to know that.

Western is not Ista, Igen, Xanadu or Eastern - we do and will do things differently here. So, their weyrlings may be allowed to do things you are not, as well as the other way around. Your best bet is to check if you have any questions about what's allowed/possible.
 

The WLM and AWLM are here ICly to help as well as OOCly. If there is anything wrong, please please don't hesitate to talk to any of us. Please note the blackboard in the Weyrling Barracks. On it is vital information that will be used in classes and will help with any code you will need for your dragon.

(Note: All lectures and information have been gathered by Domuta @ Western Weyr. Shandra @ Western Weyr (PernWorld) contributed to the web design and posting.)
