Photobucket Weyrbowl
This is the main open part of the Weyr where dragons land and take off. Currently, the weyrbowl is slowly filling with more and more water as the rain continues to fall and the landslides continue to block any escape of moisture. The familiar scene has been replaced by an immense, muddy lake.

This room is usually only used for meetings, whether they are with other Weyrleaders or the various Wingleaders and Wing seconds here at Aerten. The room is dominated by a large round table that usually sits a total of 14 people. If the number exceeds that extra chairs have to be brought up from the kitchens or people can stand.

This river runs right through the Weyrbowl, disappearing underground at the southern end to fill Lake Crisium. Ten footbridges are positioned evenly along its length to Weyrfolk convenience. The water is frigid in the winter, but provides a lovely place to swim in the summer. Weyrfolk can be found fishing here all year round.

Far above the concerns of the Weyr below, the clifftops of Aerten provide a spectacular view. They are barren and littered with rocks and sand, punctuated by the occasional bush but are otherwise flat and uninteresting. From this lofty vantage point, Arion Hold and all the nearby farms are visable as well as the majority of the Weyr.

Temporary Infirmary, Herdbeast Pens, and Kitchen are located here. Accessible by stairway or friendly dragonback.

Dragonriders must fly when thread is in the sky. Though no two falls are the same, each fall has its own hazards and problem spots. Come here at the start of each fall to be rewarded with a story on how the fall was located and hear the wings get summoned into the air. Also here is where you will be warned on the dangers of each fall that Aerten flies.

This small pond just outside the main Hold makes a perfect spot to fish or swim in the summer, or ice skate in the winter. Tall grasses and weeds grow on the western bank, and a fair amount of tiny creatures make this spot their home. The water is ten feet deep at the center, and only large enough to hold the smallest of adult dragons. Nevertheless, rider and holders like come here in good weather to relax and have fun.
