The Second Generation

== The Second Generation ==
Years have passed, empires come and gone, and while the city itself refuses to die there are plenty of people no longer there. Prince-Governor Kadakithis, Shadowspawn, Lalo the Limner, the seeress Illyra and many others are half-forgotten legends. In their place are survivors of the Bloody Mother's ruthless cult bearing the scars they left behind. Those who remember the past and are willing to talk about it, you could count on one hand.
With the Irrune in the palace, the city survives. These are the people who walk those streets.
* Cauvin -- self-described "sheep-shite stupid" stoneworker, he is both much more than he seems and no more than he seems. 
* Leorin aka Honey -- briefly his wife. Both were raised in the savage Pits where the Dyareelan cults winnowed and hardened the children they orphaned.
* Becvar "Bec" -- his adopted younger brother 
* Grabar and Mina, Becvar's parents who adopted Cauvin 
* Flower, their mule
