Creline was Masterharper at the beginning of the Eighth Interval.
Fifty-five years before the start of the Ninth Pass, about the same time that Robinton was born, then Masterharper Gennell found Records, kept in the Archives of both the Harper Hall and Fort Hold, which had been written by then Masterharper Creline very early in the Eighth Interval. Those records said, "The MasterHarper was asked to Fort Weyr this fifth day of the seventh month, first Turn after Pass End." The next entry, dated a full two months later, said that when Fort Hold's tithe train had arrived with supplies, they found that Fort Weyr had been abandoned, with little else but broken pottery on the top of the midden heap. Other holders had noticed that flags requesting dragon assistance had gone unanswered and, even though they had been annoyed by the discourtesy, they were far too involved in relaxing after fifty Turns of threadfall to wonder much about an empty weyr. It was enough that Thread was gone.
