Runner Stations represented the physical presence of Runners on Pern. They served both as business centers, proving points of message distribution, as well as living quarters for the runners themselves. They also provided services for runners to utilize to maintain their physical health, such as relaxing baths and leg massages.
Major Station[]
Fort Runner Station was the largest and oldest of the stations, location near the Gather Field, with three levels outward facing windows, with the roadway that ran before it.
- Station master: Torlo
- Runners: Cleve, Grolly, Rosa, Spacia
- Other: Penda (wife of Torlo, Headwoman), Misler (possibly runner)
Minor Stations[]
18 Station — at Greystones Hold
97 Station — between Lemos and Keroon Hold. Long bench that was an inevitable fixture of every station. The overhang of the roof provided a shelter from sun and rain. Most runners were obsessed with watching the traces to see who was coming and going. The long bench, its surface smoothed by generations of bums sliding across it, was placed so that it commanded a good view of the four traces. Have a tub so long you could lie out flat in it: even the tallest runners could. But you had to keep the fire going under the tank all the time to be sure there was enough for when a bath was needed.
Benden's Station — at Benden Hold
Wide Bay Station — at Wide Bay Hold, situated as it was on the wide main road in the distance from Hold.
- Station master: Arminet
Circle Station
- Station master: Chesmic
