A Dragon's Ascension - Ed Greenwood [146]
Bloodblade: see Duthjack, Sendrith "Bloodblade."
BLUE PASSION: a pleasure-dancer at the Dragonrose House dining club in Sirlptar, recognizable by the blue cord that binds her hair. She's also taller and darker than her partner Red Dream.
BOWDRAGON, ARAUNDOR: the balding, stolid third Bowdragon brother, father of three sons and four daughters, all of whom outstrip him in sorcery-though he's no weakling with spells, and is indeed an "arch-wizard" in the reckoning of most realms.
BOWDRAGON, DOLMUR: the eldest Bowdragon brother, patriarch of the family, and a mighty archwizard in his own right. Sensitive, even-tempered, and serious, the father of Cadialeira (now dead) and Eridi.
BOWDRAGON, ERITH: the shy, physically and magically weak son of Dolmur.
BOWDRAGON, ITHIM: the fourth and youngest Bowdragon brother, father of Jhavarr and five daughters, the eldest of whom is Maerla.
BOWDRAGON, JHAVARR: powerful young sorcerer of a family known for its magical might, who seeks to avenge the death of his "sister" (actually cousin; all of the current Bowdragon younglings were raised together, and regard each other as siblings) Cathaleira Bowdragon, who was slain by her Aglirtan master, the archwizard Tharlorn of the Thunders.
BOWDRAGON, MAERLA: the raven-haired, beautiful, hot-tempered, and icy-tongued eldest daughter of Ithim, who lacks but one year to have been alive for a score of seasons.
BOWDRAGON, MULTHAS: the hot-tempered second Bowdragon brother. Bearded, darkly handsome, and the father of no less than seven daughters!
BULDRIM: see Kavalanter, Buldrim.
CARDASSA, MAEVUR: Baron of Cardassa, a fat, lazy, moon-faced and oiled-haired wastrel of Elmerna who inherited the barony of Cardassa upon the death of his distant cousin, the much older and far different Idiclammert "the Old Crow" Cardassa (a demise which befell in The Vacant Throne). He promptly began to nurse plans to snatch the Throne of Aglirta for himself, gathering tersepts and hiring wizards to his cause.
CASTLECLOAKS, RAULIN TTLBAR: young would-be bard and son of the respected bard Helgrym Castlecloaks; briefly a companion to the Band of Four.
CODELMER, SARASPER: a healer and former courtier long in hiding in one of three beast shapes he can take: bat, ground snake, or (his most favored) the man-eating "wolf-spider" or longfangs; old, gruff, and homely; member of the Band of Four and friend to Craer when the latter first entered the service of the Baron Blackgult.
DARK THREE, THE: a trio of evil, powerful, and treacherous wizards who served the Baron Faerod Silvertree; they all perished in The Kingless Land, and in descending order of rank, power, and age, were: Spell-master Ingryl Ambelter; Klamande Beirldoun; and Markoun Yarynd.
DELCAMPER, ALRESSE: ancient, bedridden matriarch of the Del-camper clan, a spirited beauty in her day but now little more than a wrinkled bag of bones clinging to life through her sharp wits and sharper tongue. Alresse has not left the Delcamper castle of Varandaur in thirty summers-and will probably never leave, now; when she dies, she'll simply be taken downstairs to its crypt.
DELCAMPER, FLAEROS: young bard, of the wealthy Delcamper merchant family of Ragalar, equipped when traveling with the Vodal, an enchanted ring that's an heirloom of the Delcampers and allows (among other things) its wearer to see through magical disguises and illusions. Still quite naive but acclaimed for his bardic skills by no less than Inderos Stormharp, he's known (sometimes mockingly) as "the Flower of the Delcampers."
DELCAMPER, HULGOR: one of the uncles of Flaeros Delcamper. A big, florid, hunt- and wine-loving man, swift with his sword and swifter with his temper.
DELCAMPER, SARTH: one of the oldest uncles of Flaeros Delcamper. A tall, suspicious (of everyone and everything), and sour retired warrior, now feeling his age in earnest.
DELNBONE, CRAER: procurer (scout and thief) in the service
