Recently I\u2019ve resumed my \u201cAbout the Characters\u201d<\/a> post series that focuses 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
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Until now, the series has been focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now that\u2019s done I shall continue with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a> simultaneously \u2014 but still in alphabetical order, of course! (The quotes will be the key to whether the character appears in both or only one of the books.)<\/p>\n

” \u201cCowards and fools,\u201d Torlun said to the Morning priests. \u201cWhy should we risk ourselves protecting weaklings? Consider our contract at an end.\u201d He stalked away, snapping out a command to the Stone contingent, who immediately began breaking camp.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo we let them go, Commander?\u201d Aeln asked. \u201cHe meant it about the blood feud.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMurdering them instead won\u2019t help matters,\u201d Asantir said, very dry.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Aeln fiddled with his sword hilt and shifted his feet. Thinking things through, Garan reflected, was not the guard\u2019s strongest point. “<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“In the anteroom, Morin frowned and stepped close to Aeln, speaking in a clan dialect of Night.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShould we knock, do you think? Let her know the Storm Spear\u2019s here, at least?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The glance Aeln threw Kalan was dismissive. \u201cHe can wait.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

They could not know, Kalan thought, amused despite his situation, that he had spent seven years in Night. Besides, Aeln was right: for now, he could wait.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
