Arith was a queen dragon in Benden Weyr and was Impressed by Lorana.
Biography[]
Arith was born in the Third Pass, during the time of the Dragon Plague. Arith became ill before she reached her first mating flight. After exhaustive research at the Weyrs and the Harper Hall, a secret room was found in Benden. It had been built after the First Pass and inside told of a way to save the dragons. Now a weyrwoman, Lorana made the choice to try to save Arith using the four vials that they had discovered inside the secret room. Since Lorana didn't know which one to use, she decided to use a little of each for a single dose. After Lorana injected the dose, Arith yelled, "Lorana, it burns!" and went between. It was later learned that Arith had gone back 400 years to Wind Blossom, who examined the dead dragon and discovered the cure that was later found in the secret room. After researching the vials, it was determined that only three of the vials were needed for the cure. The fourth vial was meant to be used only as a last resort - because it would turn a watch-wher into a dragon.
