Cloud Hold: a satellite fort of the Keep of Winds.
“And Teron came from the family that had always commanded Cloud Hold for the House of Night, a family as famous for their unswerving loyalty and courage as they were for their dogmatism and lack of imagination.”

‘ “We cannot get the dog to leave.” Malian did not recognize the new speaker. “But Teron’s people, out of Cloud Hold, have been bringing it food.”
“Teron’s people?” Malian could hear Haimyr’s astonishment. “He despises outsiders.”
“Yet wept when the Winter woman fell.” Asantir’s tone was impossible to read. “Although perhaps only for the Earl’s sake. But his clan honors loyalty above all else.”
The wind blew more strongly, swirling grit in clouds, and Falath’s head sank back onto his paws. “Farewell my braveheart,” Malian said, knowing that the dream was either changing again or ending.’

‘When Myr did finally look up, her half-sister’s smile had been redirected toward the Night guest on Kharalthor’s right. Teron of Cloud Hold. Myr repeated the name from the list she had committed to memory. He was strikingly handsome, and her half-sister’s look had grown almost avaricious. Her sister, Sardonya, was also smiling as she studied the young Night warrior. Myr hoped Teron of Cloud Hold had well-honed survival skills.’
