Siltanys Hes Erekol

Siltanys Hes Erekol, or simply Erekol, was a Thel Akai in the time of ancient Kurald Galain. She was the chosen huntress of her tribe and the mother of one surviving son.Fall of Light, Chapter 13, US HC p.392/394 She was a hulking presence with a broad, wide-cheeked face.Fall of Light, Chapter 13, US HC p.392-393 It was intimated that some unnamed tragedy had fallen most of her family.Fall of Light, Chapter 13, US HC p.392
==In Fall of Light==
Erekol was an enemy of the Seregahl who she named bullies and cowards that sprung ambushes that made Thel Akai husbands weep. Claiming to be "fed up with their shit", she followed them to the gathering of Hood's army against death, planning to kill them. When the Seregahl leader bragged before Hood and Haut that he and his warriors were worshipped by their own kind and feared by the Thel Akai and Thelomen, Erekol stood outside their campfire and snorted in derision. She announced she was but waiting for one of the Seregahl to wander off so she could slay him away from his companions. Haut sent her away, saying Hood had need of the Seregahl.
After the Seregahl departed to challenge an Azath House to prove themselves worthy of Hood's vanguard, Erekol reemerged to speak directly to Hood. the Jaghut said he knew of her tale and asked whether she came to join his army or if she came only in the name of vengeance. He asked of her surviving son, who she revealed was plying the Furrow Strait aboard a stout ship hunting Dhenrabi. Hood warned that those waters were near the High King's lands and the dhenrabi were under his protection. His visions showed Erekol's son in the High King's shadow and that was "not a good place to be." He suggested she seek her vengeance at the Azath House where there was certain soon to be a mess and the Seregahl's numbers reduced.Fall of Light, Chapter 13, US HC p.393-394
During the Seregahl attack on the Azath House, five were claimed by the House. Erekol found another wounded and missing the lower part of his left leg, and she put a sword through his neck.Fall of Light, Chapter 13, US HC p.398-399
==Speculations==
The similarities of their names and Hood's warning of the High King suggested her unnamed son might be Ereko.
