Recently I\u2019ve resumed my \u201cAbout the Characters\u201d posts that focus on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/a> series \u2014 because \u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s character is Teron.<\/em><\/p>\n

Teron:<\/strong> of Cloud Hold, formerly the Earl of Night\u2019s squire and still sworn to his service as an adult.

\u2018 “You don’t know the priest kind, minstrel,” the youth replied ominously.\u00a0 “They are devious and treacherous.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Is this something you know from your own experience?” Haimyr inquired lazily.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“I? No!” Teron looked affronted. “We follow the House of Blood’s example in our hold and will not suffer priests within our walls, given their past betrayals.\u00a0 Speaking of betrayal,” he added darkly, “how do we know that last night’s attack was not some conspiracy between the Temple quarter and the priestly Houses?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“We do not, of course,” Haimyr replied. “But from what I understand of last night’s events, and the number of priests that lie dead, it seems unlikely.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Teron’s scowl did not lift.\u00a0 “What would you know anyway?” he muttered. “You’re only\u2014”\u00a0 He broke off at the sudden glint in Haimyr’s golden eyes.\u00a0 The minstrel’s tone, however, remained light.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“An outsider?” he inquired.\u00a0 “Why, so I am.\u00a0 All the same, I try to use my eyes and ears\u2014and at least a little of what lies between them as well.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nhairin snorted and Teron glowered at the minstrel\u2026\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018 “If a Swarm force did come through the pass and take the Towers,\u201d Garan continued, \u201cthey would not only have a strong foothold on the Haarth side of the Wall, but a clear route through the Plain of Ash and into the Gray Lands.” He paused. “Here, Commander, I’ve drawn it as best I could.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSurely this is the priest House\u2019s problem though?\u201d Teron sounded both puzzled and impatient. “Let them look to their allies rather than whining to Night for help.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Typical, Kalan thought, recalling Cloud Hold\u2019s reputation for rigid adherence to the Oath that separated priest and warrior kind.\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
