This bountyhunter (?) is quite persistent on tracking down Roza, despite his manners. Also seems to know a thing or two about mages. |
Another addition to the characters page!

Mages and spell-eating shadowcats are usually bitter enemies, but this one seems to have taken a shining to Roza. Then again, she’s also buddies with Leith… |
Here’s an interesting tidbit about the meaning of names for the characters introduced so far.
I try to chose names that suit the personality or history, but sometimes a random name just fits best, as in the case of the Jaru brothers.
Roza : Slavic form of ‘Rose’, the flower or the color.
Nic : usually short for ‘Nicolas’, but may refer to his penchant for stealing things.
Aryon : variation of ‘Arion’. In Greek mythology, a magical horse born of Poseidon and Demeter.
Isard : the French common name for the Pyrenean Chamois.
Esten : variation of ‘Espen’, meaning ‘God Bear’
Leith : Scottish and Gaelic word meaning ‘broad river’. In Greek mythology, ‘Lethe’ is the river of forgetfulness which flows through the Underworld.
Monday, July 16th, 2007Gilov’s Pass
Formerly known as the Tyreal Mountain Pass. The pass is the only feasible trail through the mountains in winter for any sizeable party or mounted traveler. Entrance to the Pass from the south is gated and currently heavily under guard by Regent forces. The pass has been the site of numerous struggles throughtout history, and is scattered with ruined forts and military constructions.
Gilov’s Pass named after the legendary caption of the royal army, Arne Gilov. At the pass, Gilov held off an army of Chimaera created by a rebellious mage in an attempted coup against the royal family.
