Located in the low mountains west of Telgar Hold, it was originally beholden to Telgar Weyr, but due to circumstances within the late ninth Interval, it came under High Reaches Weyr's coverage area. During the Comet Pass of the tenth Interval, the then Reachian Weyrleader, R'hin, attempted to stronghold the Hold into shutting down some of the fast-growing expansions of its mining operations and was met with resistance. In efforts to keep his satellite mineholds open, the Lord Holder played Telgar against High Reaches, harking back to the long-forgotten original coverage lines. In the end, Crom Hold remained under High Reaches Weyr's jurisdiction while the satellite mineholds and the Minecraft fell under Telgar's protection. Tithes from this region are split equitably with representatives from both Weyrs present before the tithe trains depart.

Relations between High Reaches Weyr and Crom have been strained for some time now, commencing with arguments over coverage areas, and continuing with a land deal gone wrong.

Notable People:

• Aughan (Lord Crom)
  • Niece: Yuliye - considered likely to be eventually named as his heir, as he has no children of his own. Yuliye was sent as emissary to High Reaches Weyr in Turn 19.
• Saliqa (Step-daughter of Crom's Steward) - sent to High Reaches Weyr as a 'fashion emissary' in Turn 21, with three other girls.
