The Crafts system of Pern based loosely on the medieval system of guilds. Crafthalls are establishments that maintain Pernese knowledge and skills.

A Crafthall may be of any size, but typically, the largest Crafthall is recognized as being the center of knowledge and learning within the craft. Each Crafthall has as its senior member a Master which oversees the activities and education at that establishment. Additionally, the Masters of each craft elect one person to serve as the head of the craft, or Mastercraftsman. The Mastercraftsman has the right and responsibility to represent the craft to the entire population of Pern.

There are three degrees of rank: apprentice, journeyman, and master.

Apprentices are beginners in the the craft, and may be as young as 8 or 9 - though there are examples of apprentices being brought in from older age groups as well. Apprentices are taught in a structured manner by the senior Journeymen or Journeywomen and Masters.

Journeyman are the large majority of a craft; those who have reached that certain level of expertise where they may be posted at Holds or Weyrs to provide training or serve as practitioners of the craft within the establishment. Some crafters choose to never ascend higher in the ranks as they continue to travel and teach.

Masters have the ability and responsibility to pass on their expertise within the craft to those new apprentices and journeymen. They may still be posted to another area, but others are recalled to their Crafthall of origin to teach full-time.

All crafters here are listed by craft: crafters can also be found on their individual area pages.
