Alianne Zulieta was one of the original eighteen dragonriders under the leadership of Sean Connell. She was the rider of gold Chereth. She had several fire lizards.
Biography[]
Alianne impressed her dragon during the hatching of Kitti Ping's first clutch of biogenetically engineered dragon eggs. She had blue or green fire lizards that didn't stay after Mount Garben erupted and the settlers evacuated Landing during the Second Crossing.
Alianne died while giving birth to her third child. Her queen was the first queen to go between, just like Marco Galliani's Duluth did.
Weyrwoman Zulaya, rider of gold Meranath at Telgar Weyr in the Second Pass, was Fort Weyr-bred, and she came from Alianne's bloodline.
Notes[]
Alianne's dragon's name, Chereth, wasn't given until the short story "The Ford of Red Hanrahan".
