Brianth was a bronze dragon, first at Fort Weyr then at Benden Weyr, during the First Fall. His rider was M'hall, the son of Weyrleaders Sorka and Sean Connell.
Biography[]
Before Brenden Weyr was created, Brianth had sired sufficient clutches that Sean had grounded the randy bronze during queen mating flights. One of Sorka's duties was to keep very precise records of which clutch was sired by which bronze or brown, so that any queens resulting from that pairing would not be rematched with their own sires. There wasn't a girl in the Weyr who wouldn't be proud to have her queen flown by Brianth and to be able to stay in M'hall's company as his Weyrwoman.
When Torene Ostrovsky decided to visit what she hoped would become Benden Weyr, she discovered that M'hall and Brianth were already there and that Brianth had told M'hall when they left Fort Weyr.
After Lorana's gold Arith - from late in the Second Interval - dropped dead from the sky at the College late in the First Fall, Wind Blossom asked that M'hall and Brianth take a look at the still-smoldering remains of the young queen.
