Month 1
Topics for this month:
Basic dragon care: proper feeding and hygiene - includes how, what and when to feed the dragonet, and what to do if a dragon has overeaten. Also includes training the dragonet to conform to a schedule but also to be willing and able to shift schedule when necessary.
Understanding and strengthening pair bonding - getting used to dragon emotions, and strengthening the mental and emotional bond between rider and dragon.
Complete tour of the Weyr - identification of areas off-limits for Weyrlings.
Be able to identify by name all members of particular Weyrling class.
Skills assessment and learning how to perform daily tasks on the Weyrling work schedule - this includes latrine duty (usually the poor sot who is currently being punished), mending clothes, helping in the kitchens, helping to serve meals, unloading tithe wagons, assisting Crafters, etc. This schedule is posted each week, with Weyrlings being rotated through various tasks. During this first month, Weyrlings will be introduced to all of the possible different duties that appear on the work schedule.
Basic first aid skills - use of numbweed, stopping bleeding, proper wound care (cleaning, changing bandages), creating a personal first aid kit for rider and dragon.
Learning the basics of firestone selection, sizing and proper bagging. Weyr rules and regulations.
Knowing when to ask for help.
Every Weyrling must make his or her own shoulder knot.
Every Weyrling must butcher for his or her dragon.
