He supported his claim by creating a plan to restore the location, including the observatory.

In the years after AIVAS's deactivation, F'lessan was able to claim Honshu as his own, naming it Honshu Weyrhold. F'lessan reported the site as suitable for a weyr, but seemingly no action was taken. While on this journey, F'lessan discovered the ruins of Honshu Stake, which were remarkably well preserved. One day, while a hatching was going on at Benden, F'lessan was sent to the Southern Continent to scout locations for a possible ninth Weyr. He was one of several young people who took advanced lessons from AIVAS in a variety of subjects, including aerodynamics. At eighteen, he was made the Wingleader of a newly formed wing.īy the time of AIVAS's re-discovery, F'lessan had been in several casual relationships, fathering three children, though he had no desire to settle down. When F'lessan was sixteen, he encouraged Golanth to participate in a mating flight of a junior queen. The pair was unusually well-matched, and excelled at weyrling training. After Impression, and in accordance with tradition, his birth name Felessan was shortened to F'lessan. When he came of age, Felessan was presented to one of Ramoth's clutches and Impressed bronze Golanth. From that same egg came Jaxom's future partner and dragon, white Ruth. One of these instances resulted in the excursion in which young Felessan took Jaxom into the Hatching Ground to see Ramoth's clutch, where he daringly touched an unusually small white egg, much to Felessan's horror. Although Felessan had far more Ruathan blood than did Jaxom, it was Lessa's decision to keep her son in the weyr so that Jaxom could remain Lord unchallenged.Īlthough Jaxom was three years his senior, the two of them often played whenever Jaxom was brought for visits from Ruatha to Benden. Through his mother, Felessan was descended from the Ruathan bloodline, as was his friend Jaxom, young Lord of Ruatha Hold. As the child of Weyrleaders, Felessan was weyrbred, meaning that he was born and raised at the weyr, rather than being brought in from outside, as most of the weyr's residents were. Felessan was an only child, his birth having been difficult and too dangerous to Lessa's wellbeing for F'lar to condone the risk of another child, despite Lessa's longing for more children. F'lessan was born Felessan, a portmanteau of his parents' names in line with popular Pernese tradition.
