Weyrlinghood
Month 1 During the first month of Weyrlinghood, the Weyrlings are restricted to the south side of the lake at New Hope Peak. Their exercises will primarily be bonding and bond strengthening related, but they will also learn more about dragons, dragon care and anatomy, and the Weyr and Weyr politics. Any Weyrling who requires Math, Reading, and Writing help will also received lessons in these areas until they pass a final proficiency exam.
Month 2 - 6 During this time, the Weyrlings will continue to live in the main barracks as they continue their exercises. They'll start ground formation exercises in month two which will continue the entire period. The dragonets may start gliding as young as four months, however most will be required to wait until month five. At month six they will start actual flying, for short distances. During this time, the intermingling restriction will slowly be lifted on a case by case basis.
Month 7-13 Once the Weyrlings reach month seven, some of the dragons may be too big to live in the barracks. The weyrling masters will start to move the Weyrlings to the small weyrs at New Hope Peak on a case by case basis. Weyrlings need to exhibit maturity and a sense of responsibility and their dragons need to be strong at their short distance flights before they're allowed to move. Most, if not all, of the Weyrlings will be moved by the end of the eight month. Flights will grow longer and begin being in the same formations they learned at the ground level. Once the weyrlings reach their tenth month, the dragonets will start learning how to chew firestone and flame. As time goes on, they'll start flaming in formations as well. By month thirteen, they'll be taught how to between. The last three months of this period is the second most dangerous for the Weyrlings.
Month 14-18 Once the dragons and Weyrlings have a firm grasp on flaming, betweening, and flying in formation, they'll start fighting mock Thread and running firestone runs for the wings during their drills. Certain weyrlings may be put on the fire brigade, sometimes because they're doing exceptionally well and the Weyrling Masters are trying to stretch their capabilities, but sometimes because they need a little bit of extra discipline. The green and coral dragons will start rising during this time period, and the males will start chasing. Gold Weyrlings will spend most of their classroom time with the Weyrwoman, but their exercise and drill period will still be spend with the rest of the weyrlings. By month 16, weyrlings will start to join the various wings to start integrating with the full riders. This is when the Wingleaders will start to figure out which weyrling they want to come to their Wing. Weyrlings who are at least 16 years old will be tapped by their new Wingleader at month 18, and those who are younger than 16 will be tapped into the Weyrling Wing until they turn 16 to be tapped into the main Wings.
