Venaralan

Venaralan was an infantry Lieutenant in Li Heng during the rule of the Protectress. The veteran Hengan scout, Buell, did not think much of the young fair-haired officer, nicknaming him "Sweet-cheeks" and expressing doubt that Venaralan was old enough to shave or have experienced the charms of a woman.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 12, US HC p.221-222
==In Dancer's Lament==
During Kanese King Chulalorn the Third's siege of Li Heng, the city mage Silk led a train of ten wagons and Venaralan's twenty infantry out onto the Seti Plains to ransack food and supplies from the peasants' hidden farm caches. When a column of Kanese Elite cavalry came upon them, Venaralan commanded the wagons to circle in protective formation, but Silk overruled him. The lieutenant angrily obeyed his orders while protesting that they would be slaughtered. Silk used his magic to shatter the Kanese charge, but the Hengan soldiers soon began to fall before the superior Kanese lancers. Venaralan fell with a sword slash to the face. All the Hengese would have perished soon after, but for the assistance of Auralas and the Crimson Guard.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 12, US HC p.224-226
