About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Morin
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!
And yep, still in “M”! 😀

An honor guard…in Night armor bowed, the winged horse device glittering on his breast. … “I’m Morin,” he told Kalan. “The Battlemaster of Blood has approached Commander Asantir—as the one whose honor you primarily defend—to formalize arrangements for the duel. She is leaving tonight’s banquet early and requests that you meet with her.”
