Fort Hold

Mendin was the Lord Holder of Fort Hold late in the First Pass.

Biography[]

While Wind Blossom was busy coordinating the establishment of a quarantine to check for fire lizard illness, she acquisitioned Lord Mendin's best festival tent. In consultation with Janir, Emorra, and Mendin, Wind Blossom decided that the quarantine could end when the fire-lizard showed no signs of illness for more than a week, and when the weather was good enough to burn their encampment. Mendin was much put out when informed that his tent and everything in it would have to be burned once the quarantine was lifted.

Wind Blossom later told Mendin that she had noticed signs of genetic manipulation in the genetic code of the fire-lizard (Lorana's gold Garth from late in the Second Interval) who had fallen from the sky and dropped dead at Tieran's feet near the Drum Tower late in the First Pass.

After Wind Blossom decided that detailed knowledge of genetics, particularly Pernese genetics and the tools to manipulate Pernese genetic code, would very likely not be available four centuries in the future, she told Mendin that a method must be devised for genetic modifications provided by her to be made available for use in the future. The decision was made to use the equipment specifically tuned to manipulate Pernese genetic code, that Wind Blossom had retrieved off the shores of Tillek Hold, to build what came to be called the Oldtimer Rooms at Benden Weyr.
