Piemur is the main character in Anne McCaffrey's novel Dragondrums but also featurs heavily in many of the other books, including The White Dragon, The Renegades of Pern and Dragonsinger:Harper of Pern. Piemur was born approximately four years before the 9th Pass of the Red Star to a herdsman in Keroon and is about about ten years old when Menolly begins her career as a harper. Piemur was brought to the hall earlier than normal because of his amazing voice. In Harper Hall Piemur befriends Menolly and her many fire-lizards and acts as a guide for her in her first week.
