About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Kelyr
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 — in alphabetical order, of course!
(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

The Sword warrior’s expression was bleary, his eyes bloodshot, and although he was watching Kalan and the horses, his demeanor remained incurious. One of his companions leaned forward. “I’m Kelyr,” he called in Derai, “of the House of Swords. Honor on you and on your House.” … His tone was friendly, although the warmth did not touch his eyes.
