Line 47:
* [[Cool Pet]]: Fire lizards.
* [[Corrupt Bureaucrat]]: Chalkin, Lord Holder of Bitra in ''Dragonseye'', who refuses to believe that Thread will return and won't take the necessary precautions to protect his people. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the things he does.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: A general intention for the society because they, well, [[HAD to Be Sharp|have to be sharp.]] There are major and minor shelters for almost everyone, every hold has grass cleared nearby and firepits dug to avoid atracting thread. However by F'lar's time [[We Have Become Complacent|they have become complacent.]]
* [[Culture Clash]]: Between Weyr, Hold, and Craft. Their traditions have diverged sharply over the centuries and frequently come into conflict in the main storyline. Similarly, a major conflict arises between the Oldtimer Weyrfolk who are brought forward in time by Lessa and the more "modern" Weyrfolk under F'lar's command.
* [[Death by Childbirth]]: Happens to Jaxom's mother, and is generally a risk in a low-tech, feudal society.
