The\u00a0About The Characters<\/a>\u00a0post 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

Gray Taan:<\/strong>\u00a0 a weapons trader from the River city of Terebanth<\/span><\/p>\n
Asantir replaced the longsword on the stand, her expression reflective. \u201cI acquired this pair when I journeyed into the River lands with Earl Tasarion, before he became Night\u2019s Heir. I had taken cover from a spring downpour in a dark, narrow little shop in Terebanth.\u201d She paused. \u201cI learned later that the trader, Gray Taan, was famous. As soon as I entered, he said that he had something that might interest me.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
