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

USA

As y’all know, the “Meet the Minor Players” post features the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series. One of the reasons for posting this series is because the major characters always get featured and discussed, but: —

“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that (also) “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”

~ Helen Lowe (from my Legend Award Finalist’s Interview)

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!

Ralth: a House of Blood warrior and Honor Contest contender

The concourse beyond was a melee of writhing shadows and trampling, heaving bodies. The splintering had come from a door, which someone—or several someones—had clearly been thrown through. Rotten, Myr thought, seeing the remains, then shrank back as a body hurtled her way. When she dared look again, a warrior was pushing himself onto his hands and knees with blood pouring from his nose, but it was only when he staggered up and the dim light caught him that she recognized Ralth.
