Blizzard
Form: Heavy
Wingleader: J'fel, weyrleader with bronze Jordeth
Character and Duties
The Weyrleader's Wing, as it's called almost as often as it's called by name, contains a troubled mix of mostly two different kinds of men: riders too established and respected to be simply transferred into some other wing; and younger men selected from among J'fel's buddies and clutchmates. The latter is not quite yet a majority, though more and more of those established and respected riders have come over to the young weyrleader's side - the kid's charisma and seemingly utter willingness to listen to the wisdom of his elders, along with his obvious favor with the Weyrwoman, has won him friends among the older riders as well as his own mates. Although several doubters remain, it no longer seems that J'fel's wing will defect out from under him.
Outside of drills and the games, the older and younger riders of Blizzard don't mingle much. There's no real loss of love between the two groups, but the men who once flew for S'lyn and those who came into the wing specifically to fly for J'fel share little in common outside their duties.
Games
When it was S'lyn's wing, Blizzard boasted great prowess in formations and in competitive sports, especially races. Those strengths remain, but mostly among the older riders; J'fel's cronies favor most of all the mounted joust, despite its dangers, and often place high in hand-to-hand and other unseated competitions as well.
