Pern is a planet far away and far into the future, long after mankind has traveled out into the stars and claimed them as their own. This primitive, Earth-like planet was founded as a colony by humans hoping to return to a simpler time and create a peaceful agrarian society.
Their ideal world turned out not so ideal, though, as several years into the colonization process deadly spores began falling from the sky, devouring everything organic they touched: plants, animals, and humans alike. Too far to call for help, the human colonists genetically altered the native firelizards into an immense size and advanced intelligence, their natural ability to breathe fire the only sure way to fight and destroy the deadly rain. And thus the dragons were born.
Many centuries later, Pern is the simple agrarian society the colonists hoped for, technology reduced to a more primitive state than is found on Earth today. There are no computers or engines or similarly advanced forms of communication, travel, or other everyday tasks. What they do have are the dragons that have defended them all that while, and that shall continue to defend them from the silver Thread that falls on this otherwise beautiful and peaceful planet.
