The About The Characters<\/a> post series focuses on the minor characters in\u00a0The Wall Of Night<\/a>\u00a0series, in large part because:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d

~ from my<\/em> Legend Award Finalist's Interview, 2013<\/pre>\n
Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from\u00a0The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both\u00a0The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a>\u00a0simultaneously \u2014 in alphabetical order, of course!<\/p>\n

Gille:<\/strong>\u00a0 Emerian knight in training, squire to Ser Rannart on the Northern March<\/span><\/p>\n
The whispers, which had started to die down after the first few days, built again when reports of bolder raids by outlaw bands, this time accompanied by demons that were half man, half beast, began to filter in from outlying settlements. Lord Falk doubled the Normarch patrols in an effort to counteract the growing fear with bright steel and a show of strength, but the disquiet persisted.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWerewolves, evil spirits, and blood-drinking ghouls,\u201d Raher said with relish, one evening in the inn kitchen.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
Arn snorted. \u201cEveryone in the inner wards says that even the Oakward is just superstition, a hangover from the bitter years that followed the Cataclysm.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
Girvase raised one eyebrow, while Gille and Ado, two of Ser Rannart\u2019s squires who had returned to Normarch for their vigil, exchanged a glance. \u201cI\u2019ve always liked the stories,\u201d Gille said finally. \u201cThe secret circle that pushed back evil.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
