Weyrleader: M'ris
Weyrwoman: Ameris Weyrsecond: A'dis Jr. Weyrwoman: Vaeyla Mentor: Open Gold Ladies:N/A One of the more striking Weyrs, the north rim of the bowl was called the Seven Spindles for the high, crownlike points arrayed around that end, formed of old flow from the volcano and clipped to sharp spikes when the caldera blew up in ages past. The Sands are set in a wide, high, oval cavern at the northernmost edge of the Bowl near the largest weyrs. Windy and bleak, prone to blizzards blown in from the sea to the west, the mountains are quite harsh and rocky, but the sheltered valleys are full of game and stands of hardy conifers and alpine grasses.

Due to its northwestern and isolated location on a peninsula, High Reaches Hold is windy and often cold. Because of this, the Hold itself is nestled deep into the mountain, with not as many windows as other Holds on display overlooking the ocean. It only has a few small cotholds in the immediate area that lend to its isolation, though they do have their own weaver Hall that is highly skilled and use llama hair to create soft and warm cloth. Knitting is also a popular practical skill with gloves, sweaters, and leggings for under leathers being top items. Their other main industry is shipbuilding, second only to Tillek Hold. Llamas also serve as their pack animal of choice due to the climate and terrain. Fortified/mulled wines and fruit brandies are popular in the region to help against the long and cold season, which a portion of their vast importation of spices goes to--the rest going to preserving meat and fish. |

Nabol has rich grasslands, on which ovines and domestic wherries are raised. Nabol also has a lucrative expanse of woodland filled with popular and valuable soft woods popular for furniture-making as well as soil perfect for lavender fields in one area and growing root vegetables and greens in another. Their land can also host grapevines though apple trees for cider is more preferred. It is because of all of this that Nabol has a reputation for greed as they do not part with their items easily or cheap. They don't often host Gathers due to this, though they do have a beautiful area for it in a meadow with mountain water flowing through. The Hold itself shares that flow of water with a large courtyard paved with flagstones that even hosts a kitchen with an entry to the Great Hall. It is carved into a mountain and still maintains a low overhang that used to be for sheltering animals during Threadfall but is now simply an entryway. |

Located on the most western peninsula, Tillek is not only known for its dry red wine and fishing endeavours. They are also the best at shipbuilding, which they get the wood from their expansive conifer forest in the warm months. During the cold months, they pre-assemble aged wood to be shipped off to the shipwrights when the weather breaks. Knitting is just as important and done by the fishermen in the cold months and storms as they work on hardy mittens that fetch a good price at Gathers and their uniquely stitched fishing nets.

A minor Hold beholden to Tillek Hold and located to the east of it, Misty Hold is nestled into an alcove of the mountain range along the Western Sea. Due to its isolated position, Misty doesn't have much to offer in the ways of trade and export, relying more on fishing to further support Tillek and the Fishercraft Hall. However, in recent years, they have gained a reputation as a good place to foster sons at and have proven to be strong in social and political environments, making Misty Hold a worthy ally.
