Dragonriders of Pern/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Why the hell is there a hold named ''Bitra''? As thoroughly noted in ''Dragonsdawn'', Avril Bitra was a consummate bitch, and spent her scant time on Pern mining gemstones so she could escape the planet and live in luxury rather than having kids and founding a hold- and proceeded to die a presumably messy death in space. I could believe that the hold was named in honor of her, except for the fact that, you know, the ''bitch'' part. The characters that knew her all hated her guts, and even the men she was cooperating with didn't seem to have any love lost for her. How did a hold bearing her name ever come to be at all, let alone one of the big famous ones? (Lemos and Nabol bug me as well, since you know, the men with those names ''also'' died in their primes and weren't exactly saints, but I could concieve of them at least having relations in the interim).

** IIRC, Bitra was founded by a group of dissident types who believed Bitra was actually an awesome martyred hero who died trying to save Pern.
