to dispute the arrangement. Feyt The blonde myrmidon protector of Alene. Fierce in her loyalties and duties, and love for Alene. She is older and more experienced than her counterpart, Tareed, and in many ways wiser. She has no time for nonsense, and moves fast - especially in dangerous situations and ones that require fast thinking. She also has contacts with agents of the Shadowman, which Alene does not approve of. Tareed The younger myrmidon, protector of Alene. It is Tareed who insists that Ember's arrival is a sign of the Unraveller coming. She is a little less experienced, however she holds an open mind about most things and displays a sort of childish compassion. Draaka Leader of a cult growing in popularity due to its radical ideas but who actually worship the Chaos Spirit and commits animal and human sacrifices. The current Draaka is a woman and the cult's headquarters is a Haven outside the cave systems of Acantha. The title is similar to the planet Draakar which is also in Keltor's "Solar" system. The Draaka is a smooth talker, silky, and quite charming. She manages to sound perfectly delightful, though in private she is scheming and though not quite as self-involved as Coralyn, her devotion to her master, Chaos, is her motive for everything she does. Prime Second in charge at the Acanthan Haven and a cold and authoritative figure. Awakened Glynn from her drugged state during an accident with acidic candle wax. Bayard The draakira who experiments with the feinna bond and Glynn, and is already herself bonded to the feinna. Bayard is very excited about those things in which she believes, most notably her scrolls, the feinna-link and her mistress and serving her mistress. Her actions are self-motivated, however, for she disobeys her mistress' desires in withholding Glynn's drugs in order to experiment with the feinna-link. Jurass The Chieftain of Acantha and supporter of the Draaka; he welcomes the Draaka and her party as special guests. He was almost a mature adult when his father, Garad, travelled to Myrmidor for the choosing of the Holder of Keltor, and met and fell in love with a young soulweaver candidate Signe - who gave birth to Argon by Garad. This broke the life bond between Garad and Nema. He abdicated his rule, abandoned Nema and Jurass for Signe, but she continued to go through the Darkfall process. Garad
