 Here you will find detailed information into the Hold structure at Triad Weyrs.
 ===Ranks===
 '''Lord Holder'''<br>
-The Lord Holder oversees the direction his Hold is taking and is ultimately responsible for all formal business decisions. He has a duty to responsibly govern those who look to him for protection, which means ensuring their survival, distributing supplies, and resolving their disputes. He also serves as his area's representative to the rest of Pern, and has responsibilities to attend Conclave.

 '''Lady Holder'''<br>
-The Lady Holder is married to the Lord of the Hold. She is to produce heirs, oversee the Headwoman, and promote positive relationships between the Hold and Weyr. The Lady Holder also oversees her Ladies-in-Waiting who look to the Lady of the Hold for introductions to eligible bachelors. She also oversees any children "fostered" by neighboring Holds.

 '''Steward'''<br>
-The Steward's job involves a mix of working with people and large amounts of hidework. Those who need to appeal to the Lord must first pass their request through the Steward, who is responsible for making sure that critical information is brought to his attention. He makes sure the Hold has up to date records of all the business transactions it is involved in. It is alo the Steward's job to know the types of work that needs to be done in the Hold's territory, and decide who is doing it. Male holders are organized into labor divisions that report to the Steward.

 ===Crafters===
-<blockquote>Crafters are contracted to work at a Hold via agreement with the local Lord. The contract benefits both sides. The Lord Holder provides them with housing and workspace from which to run their business. In turn, the Crafters contribute the benefit of their skills to the Hold where they reside. Contract durations may range from a short-term agreement to a long-term one.

Contract durations may range from a short-term agreement to a long-term one.
 Some Crafters are hired by a Hold to provide services. For example, Technicians repair the electronics in more modern Holds, while Harpers teach children and provide entertainment. Other Crafters might be leaders of the non-craft-trained holders who work in a field related to theirs. For example, a Journeyman Woodcrafter might be in charge of the Hold's complement of carpenters, or a Beastcrafter's job to run the stables.

 *Hold women cannot achieve the same levels of formal recognition as a Crafter or a male Holder, but they can still aspire to high status jobs. Headwoman is the highest ranked position to which women can aspire. Shift supervisor, midwife or herbalist, head cook, or assistant Headwoman are all potential jobs for an ambitious woman to aspire to.
