About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Met Ler
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, by name, of course!
At present, we’re currently in the realms of “L” – a popular one for names in the Haarth world. 😉

Ler: a marine escorting Lord Nimor, the Sea House envoy
Kalan laid about him with the longer of the black blades … Reith was fighting alongside him for a time, then Ler took his place, covering the retreat until the Darksworn horn sounded again and more cavalry swept forward.
