Meet Paran: Meet the Minor Players in “The Wall Of Night” Series

USA
Posting an ‘About the Characters‘ instalment certainly feels as if I’m picking up the threads of the new year and reestablishing routines, after what proved to be a very full-on holiday period. A case of returning to the writing desk for a rest—or less hectic rushing about, at least. đ
Just to run over the âMeet the Minor Playersâ drill it focuses on the minor (or more correctly—sometimes anyway—âmore minorâ) characters in The Wall Of Night series because:
âI think itâs the presence of the smaller characters that âmakesâ a story, creating texture around the main points of view.â

Paran, however, truly is a minor character, so today’s post is entirely ‘as advertised.’ So let’s go meet him!

Paran: Lord of Oath Hold, in House of Blood territory
…Paran of Oath rose in the final place, which reflected his Holdâs standing as Bloodâs oldest satellite fort. … Currently, Liankhara had her head inclined toward him, apparently absorbed by his enumeration of Oathâs lineage and achievements. When she must have heard it a hundred times before, Myr thought. Huern was looking particularly saturnine, an expression that grew more pronounced when Lord Paran promised his own gleeman would sing the contestantsâ praise.
