Elden married Fallon and they produce Thad.
Fallon has two brothers (twins): Zurgan is king of the Western Kingdom. Lowden had arranged for her to marry the King Breggan of the Southern Kingdom.
Vaun is a General and a Ducet (landowner) and technically a prince. He married in a union arranged by Elden to Lowden’s sister-in-law, Reyda. They produced Lanick, Fedor, Yavin and Mekel with one miscarriage and a stillborn girl that also took Reyda’s life.
Lanick marries Padin, has a friend, Beevel, and builds a rock wall for Master Burran.
Master Burran’s wife is Tallo, a name which means ‘tiny.’
Chador is a colonel, Vaun’s lifetime friend, and second-in-command. He is married to Yondi. They have seven children by the end of the book. Their daughter Corda marries the Alvian Thurendo.
