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>\u00a0\u2014 in alphabetical order, of course!<\/p>\n

Jaras:<\/strong>\u00a0 a House of Blood honor guard in Jad’s eight-unit<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw fresh \u2019spawn-sign, plenty of it,\u201d Jad told Kalan, as the Sea company mounted. \u201cAnd riders\u2019 tracks, although they were older: long range scouts maybe, ahead of the caravan passing this way.\u201d The rest had nothing further to add from scouting the road, beyond evidence of the caravan\u2019s passage. Once the Sea company and exiles rode on together, Kalan saw more such evidence, from wagon tracks and dropped belongings, to a trail of animal dung. Eventually they met Jaras and Nhal, riding back to the bridge, and their report reflected those from the other scouts.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
