Healer Telgar Weyr

K'rem was the Weyr Healer for Telgar Weyr late in the Second Interval and early in the Third Pass. His dragon was blue Darth.

History[]

During the Dragon Plague, K'rem was the first to object to D'gan's unwillingness to allow the sick dragons to rest. D'gan accused the sick dragon Jalith of being a «shirker» and refused to allow K'rem to even attempt any treatment until after the Weyr had finished training.

While D'gan thought that sick dragons should be isolated, K'rem felt that they shouldn't be moved. K'rem, like Lorana, attempted to use herbal cures. When those proved ineffective, K'rem recommended that D'gan allow his sick dragon Kaloth to rest. After D'gan refused again, his disoriented dragon led the entire weyr to be lost in a between 'Time Knot'.

K'rem also argued against D'gan's decision to ban fire lizards from the weyr, saying no one knew for sure that fire lizards were the cause of the Dragon Plague and that fire lizards could be used to communicate with the Masterhealer.

Personality and Traits[]

Even before the Plague's disorienting effect was known, K'rem was cautious regarding the Dragon Plague, arguing that the sick dragons shouldn't fly Threadfall and attempts should be made to avoid moving them at all. Although he attempted to convince D'gan of this every chance he got, he was refused every time.
