Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u2014 in alphabetical order, by name, of course!<\/p>\n

Currently we\u2019re traversing \u201cN\u201d, and today\u2019s character, Nherenor, is another of those whose page time may be “minor”, but is outweighed by his influence within the story — which makes me wonder whether I should have had a Between<\/em> category as well. In the interests of simplicity, however, I shall continue to allow “minor” broad boundaries and include Nherenor here today. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Nherenor: <\/strong>Ilkerineth’s son, a Swarm envoy to Emer<\/span><\/p>\n

The air around the dark watcher bent, the shadows billowing outward again\u2014and a human form emerged, stepping away from the smoky swirl of darkness and folding what looked like a cloak across his arm. Nherenor, Malian thought, recognizing him from the audience with the Duke\u2014and could have laughed out loud for the sheer surprise of the shadow cloak. They were in all the stories, but until you saw the transformation take place \u2026 And it explained how Nherenor had blended into the light as he passed the torch above the castle courtyard.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Malian frowned, recalling that misty dawn in Caer Argent and the Sworn youth laughing as he leapt to confront her. \u201cDid you know Nherenor was Ilkerineth\u2019s son?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Raven nodded. \u201cNindorith\u2019s presence in Caer Argent, and before that outside Tenneward Lodge, meant Ilkerineth had a hand in the game. When I saw the Lightning knights with their young lord at the tourney ground, I guessed the rest.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Malian tilted her face to the sun, still thinking of Nherenor as she had last seen him…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
