The search for the Charter began in the Ninth Pass after the artificial intelligence Aivas, informed the residents what to look for among the ancient objects scattered in Fort Hold, the first human settlement in the Northern Continent. The box containing the Charter was found which was locked via a digital combination lock, and fortunately, Aivas knew the combination. Lord Groghe, the Lord Holder of Fort Hold, generously donated the Charter to Landing, the site of the first human settlement on Pern. The Charter itself is enshrined in a case of Master Glasssmith's Morilton clear thick panes, mounted on a mechanism - of Aivas' design - that turned its pages to the one required. Masterwoodsmith Benelek remarked that the plastic coated pages are so durable that nothing short of sharp chopping blades can damage them.
On the first day of the the 31st Turn of the 9th Pass (2553 Turns after the landing of the colonists) Golanth's rider, F'lessan, used the Charter to confirm that Stev Kimmer, was a resident on Honshu, who carved this initials there, by comparing the carving with Stev's signature in the Charter.
