And before we go any further, one very important fact needs to be brought up. Yes, we have two goldriders and yes, they are both controlled by the BoD. Why? Simply because Southern Alliance was created to play in AM's world, _not_ as an easy break for someone to earn a gold. At some point, they may be open for adoption, but if you want a gold in Southern Alliance, you will have to work for it and that's how it should be! And besides that, golds aren't that much fun to play! Yes, they're considered the treasure by many people and they require a lot of hard work and must be earned. But they're not the sole intersting persona it's possible to have! Hallmasters, Weyrlingmasters, Candidates, Holders and even Traders or Holdless can be just as much fun to play! And our goal in Southern Alliance, is to play all aspects of Pern, not just the Weyrs and especially not just the gold and bronzeriders.

Well, now that that's out of the way, SA is also very new but we _are_ officially approved(see our Letter of Approval here)! Boardies as well as members are needed before we can really begin play. Because of the club's newness, just about anything is open save goldriders and we'd love to have any type of personae from drudges to Lord Holders and everything in between! Again, welcome to Southern Alliance, feel free to look around, we'd love to have you join us! And if you have any questions, please email Kirit .
