Much like the riders’ weyrs, the barracks are two large areas cut into the middle part of the caverns. One is for the females, the other for the males. At no time while in these barracks is the opposite general aloud in the barracks. However, once 6th months come around and weyrlings move into their own barracks, privacy allows visiting from the other gender. In appearance the barracks are like a long room with bunks along the walls. Next to each bunk is a bed for the dragonet, and a sheet separates each “section” from the others for limited privacy.
