  • A Weyr is the home for a collection of dragons, their riders and support staff in Anne McCaffrey's fictional world of Pern. "Weyr" rhymes with "here," and should not be confused with the pronunciation of "wher", which rhymes with "there." Said we're not where, rhymes with here not there

Said we're not where, rhymes with here not there The function of a Weyr is to house those who fight Thread, a spore that originates in the Oort Cloud of the Rukbat solar system, carried by a planetoid referred to as the Red Star with a loose elliptical orbit. The time during which Thread falls is called a Pass. These Passes last about 50 years, usually with a break of 200 years between, although extended periods have been known to occur due to orbital mechanics.
