Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?

Since Nova is pretty much the only Weyr on the Southern Continent, it really has no competition. Likewise, all of the Holds look to it for protection against Thread. But what if a sudden breakout of tunnelsnakes were to happen? How many lives in the lower caverns would suddenly be in danger? Or if the tunnelsnakes made their way into where the Candidates or Weyrlings sleep?

Another option I'd like to suggest would to have one of the Holds stage an uprising against Nova Weyr; most likely Forest's Edge since that Holder really hates the Riders, and maybe have one or two Holds join in the rebellion. It'll fall to Nova Weyr and the remaining Holds to band together to either find a peaceable solution...or risk an outright war to destroy the opposition, causing many lives to be lost on both sides.

A tunnelsnake invasion would be very fun to play out! I think we should do it. Maybe after the Hatching, and then they could infest the weyrling barracks. That would be a very tricky situation.

A Hold uprising would be good too, especially since Holds don't usually get involved in plots. It seems like there's always a dissenting Lord in the books though.

I agree with the tunnel snakes. I think that would be comical. The poor weyrlings and their dragonets.

As for the Holds, I'm game for anything.

Im all for the tunnelsnake thing after the hatching and the mating flight thing. As for the holds...I have plans muwahahahaha

Snakes + Weyrlings = fun!!! Especially if someone is afraid of snakes....*evil plotting grin*
