An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Wind Blossom engineered watch-whers from fire lizards after Kitti Ping died. They were considered by most to be an attempt at another batch of dragons. After the Second Crossing at Fort Hold, Tarvi Andiyar, Cobber Alhinwa and Ozzie Munson extolled the watch-wher's virtues to Paul Benden, Bay Harkenon, and Pol Nietro. The watch-whers were extremely useful in subterranean exploration, both with their night vision and their infallible instinct for finding hidden dangers, and were used heavily in the construction of Fort Weyr. They could also carry more than their body weight, and they ate anything, thereby keeping the pest population down. Cara Telgar adored the latest hatching, which would follow her around the hold and keep watch at night. (Dragonsdawn, p.349)

  • Wind Blossom engineered watch-whers from fire lizards after Kitti Ping died. They were considered by most to be an attempt at another batch of dragons. After the Second Crossing at Fort Hold, Tarvi Andiyar, Cobber Alhinwa and Ozzie Munson extolled the watch-wher's virtues to Paul Benden, Bay Harkenon, and Pol Nietro. The watch-whers were extremely useful in subterranean exploration, both with their night vision and their infallible instinct for finding hidden dangers, and were used heavily in the construction of Fort Weyr. They could also carry more than their body weight, and they ate anything, thereby keeping the pest population down. Cara Telgar adored the latest hatching, which would follow her around the hold and keep watch at night. (Dragonsdawn, p.349) However, they were actually intended to fly Thread at night. Wind Blossom encouraged the belief that they were a mistake to maintain the illusion that Thread fell only during the day. Eventually, however, people noticed their watch-whers went missing at night and began keeping them chained. One of the first to do so was Lord Malon of Tillek. Wind Blossom explained the watch-whers' purpose to him, and he agreed to release Tilsk, but it wasn't long until no one remembered the purpose of the watch-whers, and almost all of them were kept chained in their holds.
