+==History==
 Emerald Falls Hold was founded three turns after the end of the last Pass, as without the threat of Threadfall the population of the Southern Continent expanded into the lands of the interior. The waterfall that gives the Hold its name was discovered by a group of explorers following the river upstream to find its source. One of these men was familiar with the work of the new Technician's Craft and had the idea of using the enormous power of the falling water into electricity for a new Hold. He staked his claim to the land and became the first Holder of Emerald Falls.
 As small holds were established in the surrounding area, Emerald Falls grew rapidly. Since the waterfall was impassable by any kind of river traffic, it became an important trading post where goods were transferred from boats to traders' carts to go further south. The hold itself traded lumber and game from the surrounding forests at first. Later, once those were cleared, food crops were planted. Fifty Turns after the Hold's founding, a travelling weaver reported that the land was ideal for growing flax. The forward-looking second Holder invited craftsmen to Emerald Falls to establish a Weaver Hall close to the main Hold. Soon after, Emerald Falls was granted major status and he became the first Lord.

 ==Economy==
 The main part of the Hold's population is involved in farming or herding to produce food. Much of this is consumed by the holders - the rest is sent in tithe to the Weyr or sold on to other Holds. A significant portion of holders grow flax, cotton or keep ovines for their wool, and these are sold on to the Weaver Hall or made into everyday clothing by the holders themselves. The Hold does not produce as much lumber as it once did and faces strong competition from other sources, but there is a ready demand for what wood is produced from the Harper Hall for instrument-making. The Hold includes several small mines in the Eastern Barrier Range, though these are not well developed. Trade from the river and the caravan routes running through Emerald Falls increases the Hold's wealth. Breeding runners beasts have opened up a new source of income. New trade alliances with Coral Bay Hold and Amber Hills hold have helped the economy to boon during past Turns.

 Travelers to and from the Hold can go either along the main trade roads which lead to the west, northeast and north along the river, or buy passage on the riverboats that leave the Hold at least daily. Visits to the Hold by dragonriders are rare due to the disapproval of their lifestyle by the previous Lord and his family, however they have become more common during the current Lord Holder's rule.
