Lord Kanzar is an elven mage from the great northern continent, travelling as part of Fayett’s escort. He is polished, educated and impeccably self-possessed, with the easy confidence of a man who has spent most of his life being told that he is exceptional – and has never found much reason to disagree. He can be charming when it suits him. Kanzar is skilled at reading people, discovering what they want and presenting himself accordingly, whether that means cultured nobleman, useful ally, sympathetic confidant or dangerous man best left unchallenged.

Eliran is a dark-haired elven mage from the great northern continent, travelling as part of Fayett’s close escort. Where her travelling companion Kanzar carries the unmistakable presence of a weapon waiting to be unleashed, Eliran is quieter and more watchful, rarely drawing attention to herself unless circumstances demand it.

Unlike her mother, Seressa has not yet mastered stillness. She tries to carry herself with Vaelora’s severity, but feeling often shows through: interest, frustration, admiration, irritation, and courage all appear in her face before

Lady Vaelora Surnath is the matriarch of a respected tiefling house from far beyond Aranthaes. Refined, severe, and quietly formidable, she carries herself with the composed authority of someone accustomed to courts, councils, and dangerous negotiations. Though not native to the island and it’s strict hierarchy, Vaelora’s status is immediately apparent. She dresses with restrained elegance, favouring house-coloured ceremonial garments, silver detailing, and a white cloak over finely worked armour. To strangers, she appears aristocratic and dignified. To those who know how to read such things, she is also unmistakably
