Pern Wiki

Ruatha Hold

Lady Oma was the mother of Lord Holder Alessan of Ruatha Hold and Lady Oklina.

Biography[]

When Alessan told Moreta that his mother always enjoyed a visit with Lady Holder Pendra of Fort Hold, Moreta had to choke back a laugh because, since Alessans young wife Suriana had died the previous Turn in a fall, all Pern knew that Lady Pendra was angling to get Alessan to marry one of her numerous daughters, nieces, or cousins.

While Alessan, Tuero, Deefer and Oklina were trying to decide the best way to bottle the vaccine for the feline-caused flu plague, Oklina remembered that Lady Oma had put away huge ornamental glass bottles long ago presented by Master Clargesh to Lord Holders as samples of apprentice industry and design. To spin such large bottles, Alessan, Tuero, and Deefer contrived a big centrifuge from a spare wagonwheel attached to spitcogs and a crank.
