The \u201cMeet the Minor Players\u201d post features the minor characters in\u00a0The Wall Of Night<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0series 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<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, as I’ve indicated with other posts in this series, a character may be “minor” in terms of their part in the overall Wall story, but still cut a swathe where they appear. I believe Prince Ilvaine is one of those characters. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

An Ilvaine standard, its golden leopard rampant on an indigo field, formed one wall of the pavilion. The beast’s eyes glittered topaz and diamond, its forepaws struck at the air. A second leopard gleamed on the long tunic of the man standing at the center of the gathering, directly in front of the banner. A circlet of gold confined his white hair, and his face was all old parchment and sharply etched bones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leto Ilvaine stopped a few paces in front of him and sank to one knee. <\/span>\u201cMy grandfather and my prince,\u201d the young man said, \u201cI bring you Aravenor, Lord Captain of the Patrol, and Jehane Mor and Tarathan of Ar, heralds of the Guild from Terebanth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
