Benden Hold Landing Monaco Bay Weyr

T'lion was a dragonrider during the Ninth Pass. His dragon was bronze Gadareth.

Biography[]

T'lion was born in at Benden Hold as the son of a journeyman. While living at Landing, he inadvertently Impressed bronze Gadareth on the day his brother K'din Impressed brown Buleth. His brother never really forgave him, and tried (unsuccessfully) to get T'lion in trouble with the Weyrleaders for his interaction with the dolphins.

At the time of his Impression T'lion was twelve turns old. Until he was sixteen turns, he was considered too young to train and fight against Thread. He was used as a messenger and transported people around Pern. During these duties, he became aware of and made contact with the dolphins through his friend Readis - the son of Jayge and Aramina of Paradise River Hold, who become the first official dolphineer of the Ninth Pass and the Craftmaster of the newly created Dolphin Hall.

It was T'lion who carried Tai to F'lessan when they both lay severely wounded after the feline attack at Honshu Weyrhold in The Skies of Pern. Later in their recovery, T'lion and bronze Gadareth with four other riders/dragons raised injured F'lessan's bronze Golanth by telekinesis, so the dragon could go between to Cove Hold and the warm waters that would aid recovery.

Personality[]

Bright and willing to learn about dolphins; asked in person by AIVAS for his experience in communicating with dolphins and discussed the change and adaption of language from First Landing to the Ninth Pass. T'lion became their liaison, a word that one of the dolphins recalled.

Before he was able to join the wings at sixteen turns, T'lion showed loyalty and dedication to his duty as a conveyor of messages and persons. He would do what needed to be done, before having fun.
