Crom Hold

Kern was the eldest son of Lord Holder Nessel of Crom Hold.

When considering his father Fax and toying with the idea of conquest against neighboring holds, Jaxom considered invading Crom, although he liked Kern too much to «do him out of what was rightfully his».

Inconsistency[]

With the exception of the text in The Dolphins of Pern, which says that Kern was "Lord Nessel’s third son," all other references say that Kern was either the eldest or oldest son of Lord Nessel.
