The general layout of the Bowl is that of a crater that was caused by something extremely large that crashed into Pern a long time ago.

To the northern end of the Bowl, where the Lower Cavern entrance is, is a lake that bubbles up from an underground stream. The lake branches off and flows throughout the Bowl in little streams. At the deeper parts of the streams are bridges for people to cross without the threat of getting themselves soaked.

To the west, there are grazing grounds for stable animals and fields in which they can graze.

Trees dot the whole Bowl, while grass covers the entire Bowl floor apart from where there is water.

Moderator: Obsidian

Within the Bowl, but sectioned off from the real pasture areas and orchards, the feeding grounds are home to those animals that are the dragons' favorites. Just don't let your dragon gorge.

Moderator: Obsidian

This is not the same lake that is within the Bowl, for this one is actually big enough for humans and dragons alike to swim in. The water's crystal clear and if you focus hard enough, you can see the smooth rock covered bottom.

Moderator: Obsidian

Scattered along the wall of the cliff that stand around the Black Obsidian Weyr, are the private weyrs of the dragonriders. With the exception of the Queen's Weyr, everyone else will need a dragon.

Seemingly carved out of the cliff that protects BOW, and filled with steaming hot sands from all other Weyrs, are the Hatching Sands. Bleachers have been set up around the cliff wall, with ledges formed for dragonriders to watch from, while the weyrfolk sit on the bleachers.

Candidates enter from the North entrance, while the weyrfolk enter from the West, taking them right to the bleachers, while the Candidates walk right to the eggs and Queen.

Moderator: Obsidian

For those who have just been Searched, or just Impressed, these barracks will be your new home for awhile.

There is only one entrance, between the Hatching Sands and the Queen's Weyr, but there is a split, with the Candidate's barracks to the right and the Weyrling's to the left.

Through a tunnel in the cliff, there is what seems like a whole other small world. Green pastures, an orchard, and fields stretch out just long enough to let the weyranimals run and stretch their legs.

Further out and over behind the Weyr, there is a cove with black sanded beaches and crystal blue water from the ocean that separates Black Obsidian Weyr from Hadi Weyr.

Normally filled with white fluffy clouds and and endless blue, the skies are the best place for dragons of all ages, with Flight Lessons, to stretch their wings. Feel free to enjoy yourself here.

There are two rooms that can accommodate 20 people in each. There's a small room in the back that holds supplies of items necessary for taking care of the wounded or ill. There is a larger room in the back that holds medicine and herbs that are gathered during the whole Turn and stored there for later use. An office can be found adjacent to the small supply room. In the office, you can find a master healer or a journeyman or woman who lives there.

The Kitchens are in a large cavern with built in stoves on the farthest side from the hall. There are two long tables put together for cutting and preparing meats and herbs. There are two great hearths that keep most of the lower hold warm in the winter, placed closest to the exit that leads to the great hall of the Hold. Herbs are placed in storage leading down and away from the kitchens and stay there until the need arises for them to be brought back up. The head cook stays in a room off the kitchen with several other workers.

Moderator: Obsidian

The courtyard is mostly clear of green grass, most Turns. During gathers, tables and tents can be seen all around on it. The smell of delicious food cooking sometimes wafts up from the kitchens or the Hold's dining hall. There is enough room for dragons to land when the place is not packed. In the middle of the upper courtyard is the dancing square.

Moderator: Obsidian

A place where people come to dance to forget. Or they come here to remember. The dancing square is a fourth of the upper courtyard's size. There's a small stage set near it for the harpers to play music and sing. The square is made up of nicely packed dirt from Turns of wear.

These stables hold up to 400 runnerbeasts. There are four pastures next to it; one for pregnant runnerbeasts, one for the young babies that are taken from their mothers, one for mares and the other for the studs.

Moderator: Obsidian

The stables hold up to 600 herdbeasts. Usually only 200 to 300 herdbeast actually occupy stalls, though. There are four pastures like there are for the runnerbeast stables. They have the same uses as well.

Moderator: Obsidian

Most of the fields are used for planting crops. The other fields are used to contain runners and herdbeasts alike. The crops on the land are mostly grapes and fruit for wine or grains for breads and such. There are winter pastures for the animals deep within the hills. The summer pastures are near Talisk Lake.

As if formed for a dragon, by a dragon, these ledges peek from random places all along the side of the mountain. Used as private weyrs, the Wrath Cursed dragons are well housed, even if their Riders don't have fancy stuff.

Moderator: Obsidian

Set right below the ledges, and stretching out to the other side of the mountain chain is the Weyr Bowl. Within it are the feeding grounds and herdbeast pins.
