About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Lord Isrradin
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: 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!

Lord Isrradin: the empire of Ishnapur’s ambassador to Ij and the River lands.
“In Ishnapur,” said Lord Isrradin, his quiet words carrying to everyone in the pavilion, “we rely on our magi to protect us from the storms of wild magic that come out of the desert. Their fellowship includes those who can peer through the veil that separates present from future. And the seers tell us that a darkness is rising, an all-devouring hunger that presses on their minds and eats at their dreams. Its tide, they assert, will wash over the entire world—and no one who stands alone will stem it. We must unite while we still can and that—even more than trade—is why I am here.”
