Veralarathell

Veralarathell was a Lieutenant and engineer in the Li Heng army during the rule of the Protectress. She had the heavy mouth typical of a Hengan and a broad face. She was not shy of speaking her mind and was not overawed by her superiors, frequently speaking in blunt terms that some might find disrespectful.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 4, US HC p.85-88
==In Dancer's Lament==
During Kanese King Chulalorn the Third's siege of Li Heng, Veralarathell commanded troops on the city's northern outer wall. Silk suspected the Kanese intended a night probe of the wall's defences at Veralarathell's position and assumed temporary command. The city mage ordered her and her troops to douse their torches and duck below the wall's crenellations with their eyes closed. The lieutenant obeyed the command while tweaking Silk's puffed up pride. She was one of few women who were unimpressed by the mage's mesmerizing charisma.
When the enemy soldiers appeared, Silk used his magic to blind them with a blazing light. Veralarathell was disgusted by the mage's lack of remorse for perhaps crippling the enemy soldiers for life. Normally immune to criticism, Silk was stung by the lieutenant's words.
