nightrunner series characters [9/?]: nysander

"Welcome, O Guardian," it said. "You have been most faithful."  Lurching out of the shadows, the thing smashed a fist through the smooth stone wall as if it were a paper screen, reaching into the cavity beyond- Nysander leapt up from his chair, panting and drenched with sweat. The fire was nearly dead and the room was full of shadows. "O Illior!" he groaned, pressing a hand over his eyes. "Must I be the one who sees the end of it?"

nightrunner series characters [8/?]: queen phoria

"The Aurënfaie insulted our honor with their Edict of Separation. Now we're giving them another opportunity, and at the worst possible time. When we most need to appear strong, we're seen running for help from those least likely to give it. Their refusal will almost certainly cost us Mycena."  "But the necromancers-?" Phoria gave a derisive snort. "I haven't met the necromancer yet that good Skalan steel can't deal with."

“First shall be the Guardian, a vessel of light in the darkness. Then the Shaft and the Vanguard, who shall fail and yet not fail if the Guide, the Unseen One, goes forth. And at last shall be again the Guardian, whose portion is bitter, bitter as gall."

He was halfway to the top when Micum called softly, “We’ll meet you back here when you’ve finished. Oh, and look out for the dogs.” ”Dogs?” Alec dropped down again. “What dogs? You didn’t say anything about dogs!” Seregil tapped himself sharply between the eyes. “Illior’s Fingers, what am I thinking of tonight? There’s a pair of Zengati hounds, snow-white and big as bears.” ”That’s a fine detail to forget,” growled Micum. “Anything else I should know?” “Let’s see, the spikes, the dogs, the servants - no, I think we covered it. Luck in the shadows, Alec.” “And to you,” Alec muttered, starting up the wall again.

nightrunner series characters [7/?]: seregil í korit bôkthersa

“If I’ve learned anything among the Tír, it’s the value of being underestimated.” “Some might interpret that as a lack of honor.” “It’s better to lack the semblance of honor but possess it than to possess the semblance and lack the honor.”

Seregil- From now on, we will be using code names. You can address me as Eagle One. Korathan, code name -- Been There, Done That. Alec is -- Currently Doing That. Micum is -- It Happened Once in a Dream; Thero is -- Eagle Two.

Thero- Oh thank Illior

nightrunner series characters [6/?]: alec í amasa of kerry

"So let me help you, the way you helped me then," Alec persisted. Seregil wiped his nose on his sodden sleeve. "As I recall, I threw you off the roof into a gorge." "Fine, if that's what it takes to show you that I'm not about to let you slink away like some old dog going off to die." The guilty look that crossed his face told Alec his worst fears had been correct. "I'm not letting you go," he said again, gripping Seregil's sleeve for emphasis.

nightrunner series characters [5/?]: thero í procepios

“It took me many years to find another apprentice. As I said before, there are few who have the inborn power, and those who do vary greatly in their ability. Of those who did trickle into the Orëska each year, I found none that suited my purposes until Thero. Whatever else you may think of him, he is tremendously talented. There is no facet of our art he cannot grasp.”

nightrunner series characters [4/?] -> klia ä idrilain elesthera klia rhíminee 

Seregil grimaced. "I should think you'd have seen enough of battle last year. That piece of fun nearly cost you your arm and Myrhini both." Myrhini gave the toe of Klia's boot a playful kick. "You know her. She's Sakor-touched. It only makes her hotter for the next fight." "As if you're not just as bad." Klia grinned. "Either one of us could be at home with a babe or two already if we didn't care more for battle than we do for a handsome face!"
