CALE PERIM. –

gifts.
DEK. –
A carpenter who met Ar’leiná and
her companion Melór briefly when the two
elves arrived in

ENNIDE. –
A maid of Thyrrinths Hold during
Jenefra’s short reign and later Mistress of the East Wing when
Katya Illeri ascended the
Erpheronian seat. A good
friend and confidante to Katya who had
rescued her from a brutal beating instigated by Linn Terolude when she was a
servant in Linn's house. And because of this act on
Katya’s part, Ennide faithfully offered a
lifetime’s worth of steadfast service to her new Queen.
ERTAI ILERI. –
Mother of
Katya. A lovely and frail woman who passed
away shortly after giving birth to her daughter.
JARAT LOTHARI. –

of Nikos and Karliss. Suspected of matricide but was never proven. Lusted after
Katya Ileri but the latter more than adequately defended her honor against him.

JENEFRA. –
Queen of the Erpheronians
for a short time after her father and brother’s deaths. Reputed to be the most
beautiful human woman born of her time. She

KATYA ILERI. –
Ruler of
Voldar and of the
Erpheronian tribe during the
Age of Awakening, succeeding the short reign of
Queen Jenefra. Known sometimes as
Katya Dragonseeker or among her enemies as
the Beggar Queen due to the fact that she
was not born of noble stock but was a village girl by birth though her father
was once the Captain of the
Voldarian Guards. In her youth she was rumored to have killed the
adamant-dragon, Ol'dem'brey.
Married to Lysander Dain and bore a son
with him, Malakai, who became King after her abdication upon her husband’s
death. [read more]
KEL BRANOC.
– Head of House Branoc and a fearsome warrior. One of
Jenefra’s closest and staunchest
supporters. Good friends with Amalthea Eithar and
Vaelaron Dain. Thinks of
Katya Ileri as an unofficial niece.
LINN
TEROLUDE. – Niece to Preya Arkaisa.
Though beautiful, her nature was spoilt, amoral and thoughtlessly cruel. One of
the first humans to succumb to the Soul
Robbery during the first wave of attacks and subsequently died by
Katya’s hands.
LYSANDER DAIN.
–
Captain of the Guards
of Voldar and husband to
Katya Ileri. Son of
Vaelaron Dain.
Lysander distinguished himself many
times in battle during the bleak years following the Vardýnnian Atonement and
also successfully fought off the subsequent Dragonknights uprisings who sought
to seize control of Voldar and overthrow
Katya's rule.
Also famed for his brilliant battle tactics, many of which are still employed by
leaders and mages in different wars through the Ages.

wife and baby daughter where he opened a tavern called ‘The One-Armed Soldier’.

Personal maid to Katya Ileri and
Mistress of the South Wing in Thyrrinths Hold. A motherly sort who fusses
tirelessly over her lady.
NIKOS LOTHARI. –
Head of House Lothari though he was not of the Lothari bloodline. He became Head
by virtue of marriage to Karliss Lothari, daughter of Santwin Lothari who was
then Head of the House. Died during the first wave of the Soul Robbery.
TRIOAN SELLUS. –
Head of House Sellus and member of the
Voldar Council. An unassuming
man in appearance but the unexceptional demeanor hides one of the most fiercely
brilliant minds of Caelereth during the
Age of Awakening. Also possesses a photographic memory. Supports
Jenefra and helped to thwart most of
Aerlicht's schemes.
VAELARON DAIN. –
Father of Lysander Dain and
previous
Captain of the Guards.
A gruff, blunt soldier, happier wielding a sword in a battle, than
debating Council matters in a
small-enclosed room. Trusted counselor to
Queen Jenefra. Was killed during an attack by the Dark Order of the
Dragonknights. [read more]

burned Katya, when she stumbled into the
boundaries of the Thaelon. Later

THE
DRAGONS
(listed alphabetically)
OL'DEM'BREY.
– The adamant-dragon who led the
Dragonstorm and rained fire
down upon Katya’s village, leaving

also killed Caein when the human
prince sacrificed his father, Maengolth, in an attempt to seize power by
trying to make a bargain with the adamant-dragon.
Was wounded during the seige of Voldar
by Katya when she flung her father’s
sword into its great eye. Its whereabouts are now unknown after the
Atonement years.
