Character Profiles for Realms of Glomora: Blackmane's Chest
I
wanted to spend some time taking a look at some of the characters that will
make an appearance in my upcoming book (tentatively titled Blackmane’s
Chest). These characters are recurring and will show up in other stories.
I’ve grown very close to them over the past few months, at least as close as
you can grow to figments of your imagination.
1.
Veran
Bloodstalker:
Veran looked at ShadowWeep. The sword’s jewels glimmered like the
stars above him. Watching him, staring into him. The sword was his past,
present, and future, and the magic that it gave him was also a piece of him.
The blade was woven into the very fabric of his soul.
Veran is no
ordinary hero. He has a dark, sarcastic sense of humor—probably to help him
cope with the burden that rests on his shoulders. Though he is a vampire hunter,
he slays all manners of creatures that spring from the dark. He wields the
magic sword ShadowWeep, a weapon possessed by two warring spirits that grant
Veran powers. Veran Bloodstalker seeks redemption for a sinful past, as well as
the redemption of others who have shared a similar fate to his own. He is the
main character of many of my stories, including my book.
2.
Mirius
Morda:
Mirius shook his head. “Now’s not the time. It
can wait. We’ll discuss it when we finish the job before us, just like old
times. Velken mentioned that there might be some coin involved.”
“You’re
probably thinking you’ll be entitled to some of the reward,” Veran said.
“Do
dragons covet gold?”
“Yes,
and apparently so do greedy elves.”
Mirius’s
yellow eyes gleamed. “I’m not greedy. I just look for opportunity.”
Mirius is a
shadúnae, or a dark elf. He’s a good friend of Veran and loves a good
adventure—especially if there’s a monetary reward involved. He is a fantastic
archer and very much a source of comedic relief in my stories. My stories
wouldn’t be quite as interesting without him.
3.
Teyla
Bluewing:
Veran’s heart dropped. Stepping out of the
brush was a beautiful woman dressed in blue robes. Her yellow hair hung to her
shoulders, her eyes fixed on Veran with an unnerving gaze. She smiled that same
smile that always left the vampire hunter confused and infatuated. He was lost
in her crystal blue eyes, as if he were a bird wandering a clear, endless sky.
Those eyes were always able to see into the deepest reaches of Veran’s soul,
into depths he did not want anyone to fathom.
A talented and
beautiful wizard, Teyla is more than just a friend to Veran. Though the two
have feelings for each other, they also have lots of contention. Though she
journeys with Veran on his adventurers, she was once a council member of the
Pinnacle of High Magic in the Sun Court of Aurma. She is one of the strongest
wizards in Glomora.
4. Velken
Firegem:
Veran headed towards the staircase.
Under it a dwarf sat at a table, a large battle-axe leaning on the wall
next to him within easy reach. On hand was a tankard, unsurprisingly empty. The
bald dwarf ran his fingers through his beard, such a bright red it was almost
orange. He was staring hard at a piece of parchment in front of him. The sight
made Veran smile.
Velken is a dwarf and bounty hunter, and another of Veran’s
friends. Ergatha is the name of his axe, and he loves getting into a good
fight, especially if it involves chopping off goblin heads. Though he plays a
smaller role in my upcoming book, it’s possible there will be more stories with
him featured.
