Janos is a guard who is currently in a contract to protect the Princess Ari. Ari is the child of Phol Reinfelm (the king of the Asrial mountains). The Asrial mountains are a place in Valis where trade is high, and the residents are higher (in status) because like half of them are nobles who have visited the Asrial mountains to attempt to tame draconic beasts (Its a huge tourist trap).
Alexander is an elf who was visiting Farecloth to do some trading when some bandits attacked. Alex is the primary protector of Farecloth after the first encounter with the DeathsHand. He came from the high elf family of Lostilius, making his full name Alexander Lostilius. He knows how to do simple dueling, but isn't the best. Nevertheless, he can hold himself in a fight with his magic. He uses elemental magic such as fire spells, and sky magic, but also knows the importance of melee, so he keeps two daggers on him. He comes from the elf city of Darrease. He really is only a side character who only is important for protecting Farecloth. Oh uhh- he also hides his ears due to (sometimes) needing to do human-only jobs for commission.
Halmer is by far one of my favorite characters. He helps Sinnah by giving him a few secrets about high tear ores and where to find them, he's the best equipment craftsmen/tailor in Atlas, the place Sinnah trains for the fight with the DeathsHand. Also, he runs metalworks which is a mid blacksmith but has a cool name. There are definitely better blacksmiths, but in Atlas, he's the best.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Wovia Lostilius is Alexanders sister. She is a researcher in Atlas. She's the one who made the request for Sinnah to "collect lost scrolls". She was wandering around the ruins the creature resides when she stumbled upon some statues that said some weird shit, but she dropped some research while leaving, and that's what the quest technically was about. But she caught a glimpse of the monster before she left, and just didn't tell anyone. Anyways she is an elf like Alexander, but she doesn't hide her ears like he does. She is about 4'11, has green eyes, and always wears blue and green robes.
This character has a name, but it's not really used much. Most try to avoid her name, as Nosi is the name of an Arch-spirit of the illusion affinity which used to terrorize A-P. Her name is Nosi Kepesu. Nosi is the one who updates the information in the book of gods, and protects the book. She was born into the duty. Her father (Athanasios Kepesu) used to update and keep the book, but he is now a knight of A-P, so he can't. He only had a child to inherit the job, because technically when the Kepesu's founding patriarch made the contract with Windsillow it only had to be a member of the Kepesu family who has to take care of it, not just him. Nosi's mother is unknown.
