Kordiavis prefers slightly more lavish clothing of soft materials, fine stitching, and perfectly sized for him. His preference for colours tends to run dark, seeing black as the easy go-to with white as a nice accent when it is needed. Even with growing up in Ista with the hot clime, one of his quirks is wearing a band of cloth tightly around his neck like a choker. Sometimes it has long ends resembling more of a scarf. He couldn’t tell you why he does it, just that he did it once and liked how it looked and that no one else did it so he continued doing so.

716 & Born: Alcynnia is dragonless and pregnant. She stays in Ista Weyr’s empty halls for months, giving birth to the son that kept her from dying with her dragon.

717-721 & 1-5: They’re relocated to Ista Hold when he’s still an infant and both mother and child receive some needed care. Kordiavis is raised by his mother on good days and random people on her bad days.

722 & 6: Still too young to fully grasp why his mother sometimes hates him as much as she loves him, Kordiavis withdraws into himself and tries to stay out of everyone’s way but develops a friendship with the heir Aldra. He starts attending Harper lessons with the boy and enjoys them if only to get away from his weird life for a few hours a day.

722-727 & 6-11: As he grows up, Kordiavis starts to understand more what his mother is going through and learns when to stay out of her way depending on the mood. He now knows why she sometimes yells and hates him but hearing your own mother say such things still hurts. Kordiavis takes to spending free time either with Aldra or alone outside, painting or napping under trees until he’s called back in for meals or the occasional chore.

728-731 & 12-15: He shows no real skill for any tasks around the Hold but lends a hand where he can when it’s requested of him, though given his tight bond with the heir of Ista, it happens less and less and Kordiavis finds himself with a lot of free time and more privilege than a nobody born in an empty Weyr deserved.

732 & 16: Meets Talaria, an older girl that fancies him, at the end of the turn and he thinks he loves her in return and debates the merits of running off with her. He's more or less a free loader at the Hold and his mom might do better without the constant reminder of what was and could have been. But neither of them have the means to support themselves or even travel off the island of Ista.

733 & 17: Their secret tryst is discovered and Kordiavis finds out he was being used to help elevate her status from a simple serving girl at the tavern since he was a kind-of-but-not-really a lord and close to the heir . He feels betrayed and wonders if women are just naturally crazy and not to be trusted. Talaria gives birth at the end of the year, though Kordiavis still won’t take her back and wants nothing to do with the child. He earns some looks and sharp comments about his behaviour and how his father must have been a whore of a bluerider to pass down such immoral practices of not taking in his child, but he believes it to be proper punishment for the way Talaria played him and now she has two mouths to feed for her deceit.

734 & 18: One day while napping under a tree, Kordiavis awakens from a large shadow over head. He’s convinced he hit his head or is falling ill as he sees a few dragons land in the distance. Rushing back to the Hold proves he’s fine, but his mother isn’t at the sight of the dragons. He’s instantly struck with confusion over how to feel. Dragons are back! That’s pretty damn exciting but his entire life has been filled with stories of love and hate for the beasts and how they will leave you alone when they die. But dragons! He honestly sees this as a way to get out of the never-ending cycle of the Hold life and a way to avoid marriage, kids, and being judged.

735 & 19: Despite being an adult and able to make his own decisions, his mother won’t let him speak to the Searchriders in case he actually is worthy of a dragon. He hates her for making him stay but like always, that emotion fades quickly and he respects her wishes.

736 & 20: They receive word that Ista Weyr is going to be opened soon to help support the growing dragon population. Kordiavis doesn’t say anything as he debates whether he should just run away to the Weyr and work there for a new life. What surprises him, however, is when Alcynnia is asked to be a goldrider mentor and while he can see her anger, he also sees a hint of longing to be a part of that world again. He finally sees something he wants and acting selfishly, helps encourage her to take the job, pointing out the good she will do.

737 & 21: Despite his age and how he’s creeping closer to the age out line, Kordiavis still doesn’t want a dragon of his own. He’s lived with someone who lost their dragon and saw what happens; he doesn’t want to risk it. He is warming up to having dragons around all the time but he still hasn’t taken a Candidate class. He lends his pathetic skills where they’re needed around the Weyr instead.

738 & 22: He’s fascinated by some of the people in the Weyr and their stories of triumph and loss. It helps in convincing him that Weyr life is better than in a Hold and that maybe he should consider classes soon. He’s still hesitant though and hasn’t mentioned it to his mother yet.

739 & 23: Figuring he ought to give in to his desires to see if he really was attracted to men, Kordiavis takes up Misharan's offer for sex during Casa's now infamous camping trip. He found out that, yes he most certainly does like being with men as much as he does women but doesn't experiment further, happy to play with Misharan only for the time being.

740 & 24: End of turn sees Kordiavis giving into Mylorah's pestering and he finds himself in Tillek Hold for a couple of interesting nights involving her and Tazikel. He's left even more confused about feelings than before.

741 & 24: Days into the new turn and Kordiavis finds himself actually Impressing at Aradissicath's Hatching to an adorable and pudgy blue Taith.

742 & 25: Thanks to Taith being so close to his clutchmate Malvayth and Kor'is finally getting along with Cazan, the blue pair follows the gold pair to Telgar Weyr upon graduating.
