Landing Fort Weyr

Carenath was a bronze dragon in the First Pass. His rider was Sean Connell.

Carenath was one of the original eighteen dragons born from genetically engineered eggs that Kitti Ping Yung made during the First Pass. Sean Connell was the first leader of the eighteen dragons and the first Weyrleader of Fort Weyr.

Personality and appearance[]

Carenath had a proud, self-assured personality. The first few times he flew with Sean, he was the calmer one, constantly insisting to his rider that he would not let him fall.[1] He was somewhat mischievous, especially when motivated by food, going so far as to try to trick his rider into giving him more.[1] Carenath disliked his rider's runner, Cricket, feeling like he was a far better steed than an animal. [2]

Carenath was a bronze from the original dragons engineered by Kitti Ping. As such he was quite small compared to Ninth Pass dragons, likely being between 12-18 feet long, and 16-18 hands at the shoulder.[3] Sean thought his newly-hatched dragon looked like "a bad cross between a rabbit and a kangaroo".[2]
