The About The Characters post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, in large part because:

“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”

~ from my Legend Award Finalist's Interview, 2013

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost and Daughter of Blood simultaneously — in alphabetical order, of course!

(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

Hirn: of Hillholt, an Emerian Hill chieftain

The chieftain called Hirn took the cup and drank, before passing it to the woman. Both chieftains placed their lips on the same place where Falk had drunk, and after Hawk, the cup was passed around to each of their followers in turn. “We seek Normarch’s aid, Lord Castellan.” Hirn waited until the cup was handed back to Lord Falk before speaking again. “We call on the bond sworn between Oak and Hill, when your foster brother, the Duke, first came into his power.”
