PernMUSH's Dragon Hatching Records

Long ago, I was trying to decipher what was known about the parentage of my dragon, Farlioth. Eventually, this led to a whole long project which is now called the Dragon Hatching Records, containing a record of the clutchings that have been held on PernMUSH. It's rather fun, seeing how things came out.

For reference, here are a few names and concepts I will be using:

The Five: These are the original five dragons who have parented a clutch. Every dragon Hatched on the MUSH can trace back to some of those five, if not all. They are: Elspeth, Mareth, Cyinth, Wirenith, and Kath.
The Fort Line: These are dragons who are associated with Fort. This is not to say they're all Fortians, but they were descended from Fort dragons and were associated as such.
The Benden Line: Similar to the Fort line, only Benden. Most of these are dragons from Jeniath, Amberyl's gold. They're all descended from the Fort Line, but there were enough of them and it was far enough back that they're more or less separate.
The Istan Line: Same thing. These are mostly those descended from Aurith and Kereneth.

I might note that there are, more or less, Igen and High Reaches Lines, but both of those are descended from one in particular of the other three, at least in how I conceive of them: Igen from Benden, and High Reaches from Ista.

I will be giving comments about history, or interesting comments about the clutches (well, things that interest me about them) throughout.

At the dawn of time, or at least the beginning of PernMUSH, there were several dragons called Owner Created Dragons, which basically just meant that they hadn't been Hatched, because there was no such thing yet as a Hatching to have been held. Over time, a few here and there were added. All of these, I have collected into clutch 0.

Each clutch has a number, the dam and sire and Weyr, and the date, plus a list of dragons. For the dragons, their names, their colors and riders, and their current (or last-known) Weyrs are listed, along with any notes. The notes include links to clutches the dragon was sire or dam for, for any golds, bronzes, or browns that have descendants.

Stats: Colors of Hatched Dragons per Weyr
Statistics: Descent from the First Five
Percentage of Genes from Each Ancestor for Clutches: I have done this for a 2% mutation rate and a 20% mutation rate
Percentage of Similar Genes Between Clutches: I have done this for a 2% mutation rate and a 20% mutation rate
Number of Descendants of Each Dragon, Broken Down by Color
Clutches per Weyr per Dragon

Note, please, that I have converted the stats to generation by program rather than by hand. There may be some bugs - I'm sure there are, in fact. If you find them, please send me some email about it.
