Ista Island
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

Ista Island Li9olo10

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Site · History & Timeline · Wanted Characters

It is Turn 1 of the Fifth Pass. After 450 Turns of threadfree skies, after five generations of Pernese who believed that thread was gone forever, the ancient menace has returned once again, bringing an end to what was, for some, a golden age and, for others, nearly the end of their entire way of life.

While the Holds and Halls prospered during the Long Interval, expanding their lands and their learning, the Weyrs crumbled. The juxtaposition between the lives of holders and the lives of riders is nowhere as stark as it is on Ista Island. Here, the Lord of Ista and his family have enjoyed a life of luxury and opulence while the dragonriders of Ista were all but forgotten, the Weyr itself abandoned.

But, with thread's return, everything has changed. Those holders who settled the smaller islands of Ista and created new farmholds outside the original coverage areas find themselves now as refugees; the Weyr cannot be expected to fly full coverage over these new regions, and burrows are legion. While some point the finger at the Weyr for failing to protect the new farms, others lay blame on the Lords of Ista, whose greed is the reason the lands were expanded in the first place.

Whatever the case, Ista Island must face the Fifth Pass. However they can.

Wanted Characters

  • Candidates - As we will now be proceeding with our first Hatching, we are encouraging people to play Candidate concepts.

  • Dragonriders - The complete list of desired concepts is here:
    o Bronzeriders - With a leadership plot set to begin as soon as possible, we will be in dire need of bronzeriders/Wingleaders.

    o Weyrlingmaster - Information about our take on weyrlinghood can be read here:

  • Holders - Ista Hold is poised as a place with a lot of room for social and political maneuvering.

    o Twin Sons - Lord Taliven has not officially named an Heir; he has two sons, twins, and both are eager to take the position.

  • Additional Characters - We have a lot of openings for green, blue, and brownriders, a firelizard trader, half-Bloods of Ista Hold, refugees who have lost their farms because of threadfall, a Headwoman for Ista Weyr, a Steward for Ista Hold, and many more.


Address:

Setting: Fifth Pass, Ista Island

Canon Level: Moderate to high (no new colors but women still Impress green and may Impress blue in the future).
