Question:Why is Dusk Forest a WeyrHold and not a Weyr?
Answer: A WeyrHold generally indicates that the place is a home for dragons, but it also serves as more than just a place to combat Thread. WeyrHolds generally have more free time on their hands, and so their riders are able to help sustain themselves, meaning that tithes aren't as strenuous. Dragonriders are also able to learn a craft.

Dusk Forest is able to be a WeyrHold due to it's location. With most of the area around it being bare mountain, and being so close to the ocean, Dusk Forest must protect a limited amount of greenery. Threadfalls are relatively short, lasting only a handful of hours - two or three on average. If the Wingleaders so wished, Threadfalls could even be cut back, with dragons flying only over Sunset Valley Hold and allowing the Thread to fall harmlessly onto the rocky mountainside.

Question: Why is Dusk Forest labeled "Version 2.0"?
Answer: Dusk Forest is in it's second incarnation. The first one ended about a year and a half ago when it's Board decided that, due to inactivity, it might be best to merge Dusk Forest with it's sister Weyr, Dawn Meadows. Unfortunately, things deteriorated quickly, and many of the people from Dusk Forest decided to leave. The original Dusk Forest board got back together, and decided to reopen the club. Thus, the second version of DF.

Question: What is the difference between the Board and the Council?
Answer: The Board is usually "behind the scenes," doing the OOC paperwork for the club. They approve personas, make sure everybody is fulfilling their rank requirements... basically, they keep the club running smoothly.

The Council is completely in character. It favors a persona over the writer. These people are what keeps the club running. They create plots, and see that they are implemented. They approve wing and location transfers, and decide if an apprentice should be permitted to walk the tables and become a journeyman.
