In 2017, I resumed the “About the Characters” post series that focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, 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 simultaneously — in alphabetical order, of course!

(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate whether the character appears in both or only one of the books.)

Caril Sondargent: the Duke of Emer, an independent duchy in the Southern Realms of Haarth
.
“The foremost horseman was bareheaded, with a coronal around closely cropped hair, and Malian caught the glitter of gilded mail beneath a black jupon that bore the oak of Emer in gold across its breast. Caril Sondargent, Duke of Emer, she thought, noting the authoritative lift of the iron-gray head. The body beneath the black jupon had thickened with age, but he look looked powerful still, although well worn—as you would expect of the man who had ruled Emer since he was seventeen, cementing the peace that was the last long battle of his father’s and grandfather’s wars.”
