Territory

Black Rock Weyrhold is located along the Black Rock River and is split into two sections on different sides of the river: the West Weyrhold, where the dragonriders and most of the weyrfolk live, and the East Weyrhold, where the crafters and their staff live. The two sections are connected by a bridge although dragonriders are also available to transport people, items, and animals.

​

In West Weyrhold, the most notable feature is the Twin Towers, a pair of keeps several hundred dragonlengths apart that overlook the river. The North Tower consists of quarters for the Weyrwoman, Weyrleader, Headwoman, and their staff. It also hosts visiting dignitaries. The South Tower consists of quarters for the Weyrlingmaster and their staff, weyrlings, and candidates. It also hosts recently-graduated dragonriders who have yet to join or buy a house. The majority of the population lives in houses built west of the towers, creating an active city. The streets are spaced such that even the largest gold dragon can lie down comfortably. The center of the city functions as a public square that hosts farmers' markets, Gathers, and other activities.

​

In East Weyrhold, the most notable feature is the Masters' Manor, where the master crafters work. Around the mansion, crafters and their families live in houses more suited to a non-dragonriding population. The farms, stables, and livestock are located here and the woods past the city are rich in resources due to careful supervision by the crafters.

Landmarks

Caling Empire: The remains of what once was the Caling Empire have been stumbled across by many explorers but only the refugees from Mekhaniikos have recognized it as the home of the once-proud golem race. Because of the odd feelings that many get, it has not been explored thoroughly and most recommend avoiding it entirely.

​

Protectorates

Black Rock Weyrhold protects the Araby and Cathay Provinces, which contain a number of holds and cotholds. The major holds are: Cyrrane, Mekhanikos, Mournstead, and Zaffari.

​

Cyrrane lies to the southeast on a mountain in the Wyst Forest, close to the Azov Sea. They are protected after the founders came to an alliance agreement. Mekhanikos lies to the northwest in a plains-studded forest along a coastal cliff. They are protected due to the preexisting relationship between the founders. Mournstead lies to the northeast on a mountain. They are protected as the founders were foster sisters. ​Zaffari lies to the west in a dense forest. They are protected after the founders came to an alliance and trading agreement.
