The Dawn of a Legendary Fantasy World

A Journey to the Dawn of Time
Dragonsdawn transports us to a time when Pern was not a single planet, but two: Pern and its smaller, verdant moon, Ruatha. It was an era when humans, known as colonists, had ventured to the far reaches of the galaxy, seeking a new home. As they approached Pern, however, disaster struck. The starship carrying the colonists malfunctioned, causing it to plummet towards the planet's surface.
In the ensuing crash, many lives were lost, but a small group survived, landing on the lush shores of Ruatha. Among them was Jaxom, a young man destined to play a pivotal role in the future of Pern.
