To not know the name(s) of the queen(s), queen rider(s), bronze(s), or bronze rider(s) is considered an insult to the Weyr and the holds it protects.
During a Pass (the time when Threads fall) items are often gifted to the riders outside of the standard tithes as a show of gratitude, but commisioned items (whether for crafter or holder) are not given.
A Weyr usually protects three holds or parts of holds
Even though a Weyr only protects certain areas, its riders often have friends in other areas and spend time outside of the Weyr's 'stomping grounds'
Bronze riders are addressed with the title 'Lord'
Queen riders are addressed with the title 'Lady'
Holders
Lord Holders own the principle holds (one hold per lord) and are addressed with the title 'Lord'
Major holders run the ((*ghasp*)) major holds and tithe a portion of their goods to the principle holds who grant them protection
Minor holders run the ((*douple ghasp*)) minor holds and tithe a portion of their goods to the major holds who grant them protection
When a Lord Holder dies a conclave of all the other Lords Holder is called in which they vote on which of the possible heirs should replace the dead Lord
General hold size is, from smallest to largest minor - major - principle
Crafters
Within the crafts there are three ranks. In order of importance and knowledge they are, from least to most: Apprentice, Journeyman, Master
One member of each craft (always of Master rank) is voted by all the other masters to be the master of the entire craft. He or she is responsible for posting Journeymen and Masters, as well as advancing students in rank, and the advancement of knowledge and discovery within the craft
Apprentices have no personal property and are considered less-than-nothing
General
Within both craft and Weyr the advancement from one rank to the next is called 'walking the tables'
Pern is, overall, a complex Fuedal-Agrarian and highly stratified society in which goods are traded for protection. Furthermore, as in feudal society, there are only a few large holds which control all of the non-Weyr land and the holds that dwell on that land have to tithe some of their goods to that principle hold
