Overview

Human habitation on Pern stretches back well over 3000 turns, and numerous cataclysms and upheavals have occurred over that time period. It should be little surprise that much of Pernese history has been lost or muddled.

Igen was the fourth Weyr settled (after Fort, Benden and Reaches, before Ista and Telgar), during the 1st Interval. As it was founded during the winter, its Founding Day is celebrated in that season. Until the founding of Ista and Telgar, its range was one of the largest; now, it is comfortably proportional to the optimum number of dragons the Weyr can house.

Like every Weyr, Igen has seen its share of glory days and painful periods over its lengthy history.
