Masterweaver

Zurg was the Master Weaver, head of his own Weavercraft at Southern Boll Hold, late in the Eighth Interval and early in the Ninth Pass.

Biography[]

During a Council meeting called by F'lar, at which the primary topic was to find more efficient ways of killing Thread, Zurg remembered a tapestry which used to hang at Ruatha Hold and which showed a man on foot carrying upon his back a contraption from which tongues of flame spouted toward the ground. After some discussion, it was decided to try to find the tapestry and to give the idea of a flamethrower more thought.

Zurg commented that the tongues of flame on the tapestry were magnificently woven in orange-red dyes "now lost to us". Later, Lessa remembered that no one had carved the lintels or capped the door, there was no Tower, no Inner Court and no gate. Those clues gave the impression that the tapestry was quite old and enabled Lessa to go back in Time four hundred Turns and bring the Oldtimers forward in Time to fight Thread.

On the rediscovery of AIVAS, Zurg began to use AIVAS's recommendations for textiles and techniques. He also worked with the Plasticcraft folk on producing products that needed to be glued together because they could not be sewn.
