Along with Irina, several crafters come to Cepju. Many are considered to be troublemakers amongst their Crafthalls.

Turn 398
The Weyrhold maintains a steady growth under the leadership of the Wingleaders.
Complications arise from Venarth's lack of rising.
Finally, Venarth rises while her rider is sleeping. The resulting mating flight ends in chaos and the death of both Venarth and two bronzes.
Turn 400
Still ruled by the council of Wingleaders, the Weyrhold is finally given another Gold Rider to take the position of Weyrwoman. Narys with gold Carmeth.
Turn 401
Gold Carmeth rises nearly instantly after arriving. She is caught by Bronze Okorth to Rider D'ques. There is no gold in this clutch.
Changes are made during this time, including the arrival of an envoy of the Weyrleaders to monitor Cepju Weyrhold including the new Weyrleaders.
Irina dies, never having known what happened to her son.
Turn 407
The Envoy of the Weyrleaders returns to his home Weyr. He recommends sending stronger bronzes and brown riders to Cepju Weyrhold to get the 'riff raff' under control.
Carmeth rises and is caught by Bronze Levekth. The gold of this clutch is impressed by a young woman named Vela.

Several new riders are transferred in, including a young Bronze Rider by the name of T'kon.
Turn 409
Vela's gold Nereth rises and is caught by T'kon's Dekoth. There is no gold in this clutch.
Several green-riders transfer to Cepju from various Weyrs. Each one is considered a troublemaker and none are allowed to be on the same Wing.
Turn 412
Gold Carmeth rises again, surprising several members of the Weyr as this was the shortest time between clutches in over a hundred Turns. There is no gold but the clutch is slightly larger then average.
Vela gives birth to Miliker, a boy.
An illness begins to sweep through the southern part of the Western Half.
Turn 413
Narys is by her Mate's side when he dies of the illness.
Many of the Weyr appear to have a high tolerance to the sickness.
Nereth rises and is once more caught by Dekoth. It is upon this mating flight that Vela and T'kon make it official and become Mated. There is no gold in this clutch but it just as large as Carmeth's last clutch.
Turn 415
Master Healer Marek comes to the understaffed Cepju Weyrhold. He instigates several changes to the existing system of Healers, including the creation of a minor crafthall there.
Marek's Journeymen manage to isolate the illness and cure it before any more of the Weyrhold dies.
Turn 418
Carmeth rises, being caught by Dekoth. This leads to some rumors by the Holder-born members of the Weyrhold regarding the behavior of the three dragonriders.
Narys loses her will to really lead, stepping down even despite her dragon's recent flight. T'kon remains as Weyrleader without a Weyrwoman at his side. There is no gold in this clutch.
By the end of the Turn, Narys has become listless and regularly threatens suicide. By T'kon's request, she departs to Ista Weyr after the clutch hatches.
Turn 421
Master Harper Clewin dies, he is replaced by Master Harper Vekin.
A ship blown off course finds a woman on one of the Southern Isles. She's completely mad according to the Healers at Fort. No one understands what she keeps trying to say as she's clearly been shocked by some horrific event.
Nereth rises and is again caught by T'kon's Dekoth. The gold in this clutch is impressed to young Gerra.
Turn 423
Gerra's gold Gelwinth rises but it is a short flight due to Gerra's improper handling of her gold prior. Gelwinth is caught by G'bor's Bronze Heketh. There are only a few eggs in this clutch.
Turn 425
Nereth surprises everyone and rises again in short order. Many have begun to notice that many of the gold dragons are rising in shorter and shorter intervals. There are no golds in this clutch but it larger than Nereth's last clutch by a few eggs.
Miliker impresses Bronze Kaelisth, becoming M'ker much to his mother's delight.
Turn 427
Gelwinth rises and is caught by Kaelisth. While there is no gold in this clutch, Gerra handles the rising of her dragon better which results in a larger number of eggs.
Turn 431
Vela retires from being Weyrwoman as she has reached fourty Turns of Age. At first, T'kon rules as Weyrleader without her but decides to step down in favor of his son.
Turn 432
Gelwinth rises and is caught by Kaelisth again. There are no golds in this clutch but Gerra gives birth to her daughter, Gemma.
M'ker steps up to the plate as Weyrleader. He approaches the other Weyrleaders to try and reduce the tension that has always existed between Cepju Weyrhold and the rest of Pern.
Turn 436
Gelwinth rises again and is caught by G'mar's Bronze Telonth.
Many rumors abound as the flight coincidently happened while M'ker was busy dealing with the other Weyrleaders and was unable to return to the Weyrhold in Time.
It is a quick flight, Gerra once more mishandling her dragon. There are only a few eggs in the clutch with no bronzes or gold.
Turn 438
M'ker and Kaelisth are injured in an attempt to keep T'kon from going between with his dragon. He fails and T'kon with Dekoth between.
Vela laments for the loss of her Mate but remains to help give advice to her Son.
Turn 439
Sooner then last time, Gelwinth rises, getting caught by Telonth again.
Gerra is absent from the flight grounds, resulting in G'mar finding some drudge. She is later found in the arms of a recovering M'ker, Kaelisth having been incapable of chasing at the time.
Turn 442
In record time, Gelwinth rises and is caught by Kaelisth placing M'ker once more as Weyrleader. There are no golds in the clutch but it is abnormally large for a clutch.
Several riders are transferred into Cepju Weyrhold, having been removed due to their beliefs that Thread would once more return to Pern.
Turn 445
Less then three turns later, Gelwinth has risen again. Kaelisth gives chase and wins. By now, the Weyrhold begins to call Kaelisth as a bad luck Bronze as there have yet to be any golds from any flight he has won.
Several Beastcrafters from the new Tarquin Crafthall move to Cepju due to the abundance of beaches on the south side near the Weyrhold.
Turn 446
Master Healer Marek dies and is replaced by Master Healer Hulal.
Vela's gold betweens when the former Weyrwoman passes away in her sleep.
Turn 448
Gelwinth rises for the eigth time. Once more, the dragon is caught by Kaelisth and this time there is a gold in the clutch. As expected, Gerra's daughter Gemma impresses the new gold.
Many within the Weyrhold view this as a sign that something is about to occur on Pern as this many clutches have been unheard of for hundreds of Turns.
Turn 450
It is near the end of Gemma's weyrling training that her mother's dragon rises for the final time. It is a spectacular flight, resulting in a second golden egg in less then two turns. Tragedy strikes as the eggs harden when Gerra takes ill and dies in her bed. Her gold remains on the sands to guard the eggs.
