Pern Wiki

The Tillek was a dolphin on Pern during the First Interval.

Biography[]

The Tillek had been chosen of all the pods for her wisdom. Her purpose was to teach about Man, the coming from Earth to Pern and much more.

One of Kibbe’s favorite tales was the one the Tillek recounted with great pride: how dolphinkind had once honored those who had died when one of the spaceships had been wrecked in the sea-sky. Since then, the dolphins of Pern had honored those burial rites with their escort. It was a ceremony the humans had not asked the dolphins to include in their traditions, but they always seemed grateful for it.
