Gold Aerroth | Gold Riyobith

Gold Asurath The First Queen Asurath and her rider Oria were the driving force behind the founding of Mavros. Her first mate and his rider might have done well to inspire followers to their cause, but without a gold to provide the fledgeling Weyr with more dragons it would have failed before it began. In her short reign as Mavros’s first Queen, she gave the Weyr two clutches before her rider was poisoned and she took herself Between. Originally hatched at Tidewalk Weyr, their records indicate that she is a direct descendent of the famed Ramoth. Carries the White gene. Notable Offspring Gold Liyath Gold Zalmaranth White Frith

Gold Liyath The Lost Princess Liyath was small for a gold, sweet and compassionate, with none of the ego of the typical gold. Mavros’s first hatching grounds were makeshift and man made, and the fires keeping them hot failed at one point, leading to several dud eggs in the clutch. It is thought this lapse in heat is what caused Liyath’s more delicate constitution. However, she never made it to full maturity, her rider Perrane fell to the same poison as the Weyrwoman Oria and she went Between shortly after her mother, just shy of their graduation from weyrlinghood. Carries the White gene.

Gold Zalmaranth The Mad Queen Zalmaranth and her rider Karredy were still weyrlings when she became the only gold at Mavros. She became quickly defined by her temper, even going so far upon her hatching to attack Karredy’s greenrider sister when the older woman got too close to her new rider. Preferring the company of her rider and few others, Zalmaranth’s nature quickly made Karredy’s life rather isolating, for the girl didn’t seem to have the will to control the temperamental gold. Her rider fell ill while her first clutch was on the Sands and was pronounced dead, however she later woke in her grave and in a panic Zalmaranth ordered her dug up and rescued. From then on, Karredy’s health, both physical and mental, was in a constant state of flux, until she was finally forced to abdicate her position as Senior Weyrwoman in favor of a more stable goldrider. In her short life she laid two clutches. Some months after her rider’s abdication, her daughter Sularenth rose to mate and Zalmaranth followed, dying in the ensuing battle for dominance. Carries the White and Abundism genes. Notable Offspring Gold Danovelith Gold Sularenth

Gold Aerroth Lady In Waiting Hatched at Ista Weyr, who had enough golds before she was clutched, Aerroth and her rider Talera were transferred to Mavros shortly after their graduation from weyrlinghood to aid the young Weyrwoman Karredy before the girl fell ill. Briefly, it was thought the new transfer pair would need to take up the mantle of Senior themselves when Karredy was buried prematurely, but it was not to be as the girl was pulled from her grave still very much alive. When Karredy abdicated her position, it was Talera that became Interim Senior until the next gold rose, and it was no secret that most of Mavros was hoping that gold would be Aerroth, to install Talera as Senior properly. The chance slipped away from her once again, however, when Sularenth rose first. She gave the Weyr two clutches before transferring to Igen Weyr. Carries the Leucism gene. Notable Offspring Gold Riyobith Blue Imperath - Leucistic

Gold Sularenth The Usurper Sularenth and her gold sister Danovelith were hatched from the same clutch, an unheard of two gold eggs laid by gold Zalmaranth. She Impressed to Melana and along with her twin Danovelith traveled back in time with a small group of riders right before her maiden flight. The two golds rose together and amazingly shared the skies without fighting, bringing back with them 24 new weyrlings for a Weyr desperate for more fighting dragons. Once back in current time, she was the first gold to rise after Karredy’s abdication of the Senior Weyrwoman position, but her mother Zalmaranth rose as well and she ended up killing her before being forced to choose a mate, wounded and tired. This made her rider Melana Senior Weyrwoman of Mavros. Carries the White, Melanism, and Abundism genes. Notable Offspring Green Vorscuth - Melanistic Gold-Green Steleneth - Chimaera

Gold Danovelith The Diplomat Danovelith and her gold sister Sularenth were hatched from the same clutch, an unheard of two gold eggs laid by gold Zalmaranth. She Impressed to Srunae and along with her twin Sularenth traveled back in time with a small group of riders right before her maiden flight. The two golds rose together and amazingly shared the skies without fighting, bringing back with them 24 new weyrlings for a Weyr desperate for more fighting dragons. It was Danovelith’s rider that was instrumental in orchestrating the trip back through time. Danovelith’s calm and courteous nature lends itself well to diplomacy, particularly with her more aggressive twin sister. Carries the White, Melanism, and Abundism genes. Notable Offspring Brown Alduntulath - Abundistic White Tellamuth

Gold Riyobith The Scandalous Sweetheart Upon her Impression, Riyobith caused quite the scene in her choice of lifemate, Aleni, when her new rider’s brother stood from the stands to accuse the young woman of being a man and brainwashing the young gold into her Impression. Aleni has since been much talked about in the rumor mill at Mavros and beyond, with many speculating on the goldrider’s actual sex. She is still a weyrling and besides the scandal of her Impression, Riyobith has proven to be an incredibly sweet and gentle young gold without a bad word to say against anyone. Carries the Leucism and Albinism genes.

Gold-Green Steleneth The Chimaera Princess An absolute oddity like nothing Pern has ever seen before, Steleneth is somehow both gold and green at the same time. A carefree sort, only her rider is aware of her internal struggle about just who she is and how she fits in. Currently it is unknown that she might be able to clutch and there is much debate about whether she ought to chew firestone or not when she comes of age. Many believe she should not be allowed to breed, afraid she will pass on her odd dual nature to her children, while others argue that Mavros needs every dragon it can get, oddity or not. Carries the White, Melanism, and Abundism genes.
