This year, 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

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a> simultaneously \u2014 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

Audin looked from one to the other as the captain strode away. His smile was pleasant, although his gaze, too, was measuring. \u201cWe had best be on our way if we are to reach Normarch before midnight. Although we should have good light once the moon rises, since it\u2019s near full. Come with me, Maister Carick, and we\u2019ll get you that horse.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust Carick will do,\u201d said Carick, limping after him. He had stiffened badly while they talked.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCarick, then,\u201d said Audin, with a quick smile. \u201cOi, Hamar! Bring out Mallow for Carick here. And bring your own horse with her. You, too, Raher. We are to escort our friends here back to Normarch.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The only weapon [Kalan] would not trade was the dagger that Lord Falk had given him, on the first anniversary of his arrival at Normarch. It was a fine weapon, with a blade of damascened Ishnapuri steel, a ball of Winter Country amber for a pommel, and Lord Falk\u2019s own red fox device stamped into the scabbard. Along with the oak-tree buckle Audin had given Kalan for his last birthday, and the yellow tourney favor bearing Ghiselaine of Ormond\u2019s lily insignia, the dagger lay at the bottom of his travel roll. All three were wrapped into waterproof cloth and stitched closed\u2014underlining that the Emerian life, like Kalan\u2019s armor, belonged in the past.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
