They don't figure out about the grubs for a while, although it's going to become obvious fairly soon that the place should be a wasteland, yet isn't.
-
It was Genlorth flying too close to Herebeth that caused the accident.
-
They are a bit stuck in Interval ways of thinking there. With dragons and men being injured in Fall, you can't afford to be so choosy.
-
Thanks. Haven't had to do too much for the cinema parts as I was a projectionist for much of my career, but some of the other stuff needed research.

There wasn't much time to prepare either culture. Bear in mind all the conflict F'lar had with the Holders just prior to Thread starting to fall. Now that things are settling down, it would be the ideal time, but some of the Weyrleaders are very resistant to change.
-
Yesss!! I'm proud of creating such a monster.
-
Totally agree with that. It's still early days and everyone needs to adapt.
-
The lush foliage, even though he knows Thread has been falling. The protective grubs of the south are still unknown at this point in time.
-
Kylara is one of those canon characters whose actions can be interpreted as spoiled, bad or thoughtless. She certainly doesn't have a great track record in choosing who to get into a relationship with!
-
Benden Weyr has been the only Weyr for so many hundred Turns, the idea of secondments has been forgotten. Plus they are worried about how the much bigger modern Benden dragons will fit in with the older, smaller ones in a Wing formation.
-
R'feem didn’t want to appear as if he was promoting his own Fort riders over someone who has far more experience. F’drun has been both a Wingsecond and a Wingleaders at High Reaches. I’m willing to bet he is also one of those people who act very differently around people he is trying to impress.
-
H'rek's thinks almost as much as D'gar, although he has far less experience of Threadfighting (or life). There are definite similarities between H'rek and J'rud.
-
It's going to be a mess, for sure. In the books, it was mentioned some of the riders from present day Benden Weyr were sent to search for records at the other Weyrs, but they found things in a very poor state.
-
You never know!😄
-
Sacrifices to an ancient water deity, maybe? I like your imagination.
-
I was thinking that myself. 😄
-
Possibly, although there are many stories where ghosts of murdered people want to bring their killer to light so that they can find rest.
-
And a very deep well!

When I got home, Cynthia asked about my day. I gave her a quick summary, but found myself reluctant to tell her of what I'd felt while walking through the stalls. She would want to explore all the possibilities while I’d rather not think about them. I had enough physical problems to be dealing with in the building and didn't need anything uncanny on top of them all. If I ignored it, maybe it would go away. I don't remember having any dreams that first night. I was so tired I fell asleep jus

It was only explained in a much later book, after the rediscovery of AIVAS and all the forgotten technology. Turns out the long intervals happened through the exploding of the engines from the shuttles, which gradually diverted the Red Star from it's usual orbit. The operation is described in 'All the Weyrs of Pern'.
-
Lessa specified that it must be kept secret, because no one in her day and age knew what had happened to the other five Weyrs. She told the Masterharper he had to write the Question Song, because it had given her important clues, but wouldn't tell him exactly what the words had to be. It was only her mistake when learning how to fly between that led her to realise dragons could even travel through time. Benden Weyr at the end of the Eighth Interval was short of dragons and a lot of the old records were unreadable, too.
-
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
-
Given time and the absence of Threadfall, I think they would have got together again, especially as their dragons like each other as well.
-
The mystery of Lessa and Ramoth will certainly get D'gar thinking again.
-
It's been a while since the two dragons last mated. Zemianth’s preference for bronzes doesn't help. Some hatchlings seem to know exactly who they want right from the start. I’m sure a fair amount of swapping candidates go on between Weyrs when several clutches are a bit close together.
