Weyrwoman/Weyrleader Weyrlord/Weyrlady The terms are used interchangeably between Weyrwoman-Weyrlord, and Weyrleader-Weyrlady. Since Sub-kings and now Kings have started to impress to a few of the opposite gender, there have had to be changes for the terminology. These positions however are either won, or born into. A Weyrwoman or Weyrlord is a man or woman who impresses a Queen or Sub-Queen. A Weyrleader or Weyrlady is a man or woman who impresses a King or Sub-Queen and catches either the Senior or Junior Queen during their flight. Wingleader/Wingsecond A position of Wingleader or Wingsecond is something that is earned by a rider. Though it is true these positions are almost always given to Kingriders and Sub-Kingriders, it is possible for a rider of a Fighting color to obtain such a position. When a new Senior Weyrleader or Weyrlady is chosen through a flight, they appoint their Wingleaders who then appoint new Wingseconds. Weyrlingmaster/Candidatemaster Another position that is earned is that of Weyrling or Candidatemaster, their assistant. These both teach their different groups the meaning of being a rider or candidate, and make them ready for the life they may lead in the turns to come. They are chosen by the Weyrleaders and Weyr Seconds together, and even the assistants must be both chosen by those two groups as well as the master they serve under.
