Green Party of Hawaii

**National Assembly** | 4/150

The **Green Party of Hawaii** (**GPH**) is a green and eco-socialist political party in Hawaii. The current leader of the party is Una James.

The party advocates for environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice and grassroots democracy. It has traditionally seen support from working and middle-class Hawaiians in both urban and rural areas. The GPH has traditionally been a powerful ally in Hawaiian politics. Despite never being a large force in the National Assembly of Hawaii, it is very influential and has been part of center-right and center-left government coalitions in the past.

The GPH was formed in the early-20th-century as Hawaii's branch of the international green politics movement. It has never held more than ten seats in the National Assembly.
Stone

Stone is a defensive ability that toughens the skin allowing the Traveler to resist physical attacks. However, it is also one of the shortest term powers meant to be used to block individual blows not to be maintained throughout an entire battle. The power of Stone comes from a stone amulet, it's location within the house and its trials are unknown.

Path of the Wasteland

“The **Path of the Wasteland** has aspects of earth and wind, and its techniques take the form of blowing golden sand. It is a versatile and adaptable Path, often used to call sandstorms, form complex shapes from sand at great distances, and scour flesh from bone.”

— Uncrowned (Cradle Book 7) by Will Wight

Hidden Springs Iron body

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

The Hidden Spring Iron body is used by the Fisher Clan. So called because they can go a long time without drinking water, so the idea is that they have a "hidden spring" inside their bodies and they never have to drink at all.

This isn't true, it's just a myth they cultivate. Their bodies process water more efficiently so that they can survive longer in the wilderness of the Desolate Wilds where finding fresh water can be all but impossible.

Remnant

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

A **Remnant** is a key component in practicing the Sacred Arts on Cradle. In some rare cases, a Remnant is a character. The word Remnant is always capitalized in the books.

## Remnant

A thing of spirit, made of madra. A **Remnant** is what’s left behind when a sacred artist dies. However, the artist might need to be at least at the Iron level to form a Remnant. A Remnant can be powerful, but it has only a fraction of the power it had in life. The Remnant from the Sage of the Endless Sword was quite powerful, but not nearly as strong as it was when corporeal. The Remnant of a Monarch, if preserved in good shape, could be very dangerous.

## A Viable Spirit

To leave a Remnant upon death, one must have formed a viable spirit over the years. Humans, sacred beasts, and sacred trees / plants leave a Remnant behind when they die. Humans need to be old enough, at about Iron level. (see Ranks)

However, Dreadbeasts do not leave a Remnant, because in life their spirit gets mangled up into their flesh and cannot be separated from it at death. This is due to corruptive hunger aura.

As stated, humans and sacred beasts do leave a Remnant, unless their spirit has been torn asunder. The old Patriarch Jai Daishou could not leave a viable Remnant because the The Archstone had torn his spirit apart.

## Advancing w Remnants

* Many sacred artists use a Remnant to advance from Jade to Lowgold. See details of how this is done at Ranks.
* To advance to Herald, an Lord level artist —- typically an Archlord — must manifest his Remnant and merge with it, so a Herald becomes half-spirit.
* Remnants are also used in Soulsmithing

## Characters

A Remnant is not the person it once was. That person is gone. It’s only a faint echo of the Sacred Artist. A reflection, perhaps. However, in rare cases, enough of the original person’s memories can be recovered, as in the case of Emriss Silentborn, the Remnant Monarch, who was originally a sacred tree before it died.

* Monarch Reigan Shen keeps the Remnant of Monarch Tiberian Arelius to use as a slave, a weapon (Reaper, ch 16)

### Tiberian’s Remnant

Reigan Shen keeps a Monarch’s **Remnant** in his void space. The madra/spirit of Tiberian Arelius is enslaved with a magical collar to employ as a weapon, a killer.

>  Multi-colored lightning thundered out of the portal. . . A man’s face pushed through, and Lindon could make out clear features of his face. This spirit was at least as dense as Little Blue or Ruby, with a similar level of existence. He looked like Eithan’s older brother, with short hair and a short beard, and a deeper light crackled in his eyes. When he emerged, spiritual pressure pushed down on all of them. Even Reigan Shen flinched briefly at the tension in the air. This was a Monarch without months of hunger aura eroding his spirit. A true Monarch’s Remnant. As its gaze landed on Eithan, Lindon saw a golden collar encircling the Remnant’s throat. Runes on the gold blazed with power. “Eithan,” the Remnant said, with a voice like buzzing lightning. “You survived.” (Reaper, ch 16)

Alin

Alin by u/meadblossom

The prototypical hero. Alin is a tall, handsome, charming, brave, self-assured (and somewhat self-righteous) young man. Alin was the first Elysian Traveler in 300 years. He was destined to kill King Zakareth VI. He later Incarnates into the Elysian Incarnation, a rampaging god of virtue who fights with Simon and Leah and later the Ragnarus Incarnation Zakareth VI.

## Appearance

He has dark golden hair and is quite tall. After he Incarnates his eyes flicker between different colours representing the lights of Elysia. When he draws on one particular light his eyes change to that colour.

## Personality

At the start of the series, Alin speaks as if telling a story. He is a natural story teller. He is very confident and charming. After becoming an Incarnation he begins to hear voices in his head. Each voice reflects a virtue and speaks to him as if he were drawing on that virtue. Alin tries to enforce the virtues on the population of Enosh and punishes them if they do not follow absolutely. After Incarnating he becomes very arrogant believing himself to be correct in his actions and viewing Simon as an insignificant threat until Simon rapidly overwhelms and nearly kills him.

## Abilities

As an Elysian Traveler, Alin can draw upon different lights, each representing a virtue. Each light has different powers. Alin can also open Gates to Elysia and summon creatures from there to aid him. Each virtue is meant to connect to the other Territories (excluding Valinhall which came into existence after Elysia). After Incarnating, it becomes trivial for Alin to draw on the lights and sustain the powers they grant. If Alin draws too deeply on one light, his vision begins to tint to match that light and his thoughts and actions begin to fully reflect that virtue making it difficult to draw on other virtues and powers.

## Voices

Alin gained a voice in his head for each virtue of Elysia after he became an Incarnation. Each voice talks to Alin as a separate being.

Longhook

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

**Longhook** is featured in book 5, Ghostwater.

## Descriptions

* Longhook is an Underlord who absorbed his Blood Shadow, which makes him an Emissary of Redmoon Hall
* He belongs to the faction Redmoon Hall, one of the Dreadgod Cults. Like his fellow cult members, he follows the Dreadgod dubbed the Bleeding Phoenix, becoming stronger by stirring up its horrendous power.
* His Blood Shadow takes the form of a long bloody hook.
* His speech is guttural, from an old injury that didn't heal when he advanced to Underlord.
* He is a youngish man
* He aspires to be another Sage, like his ancient mentor, the Sage of Red Faith, the founder of Redmoon Hall.

### **History:**

* Longhook gave up his family, children, everything to succor the "egg" (blood shadow) that promised him power and a glorious future in the sacred arts
* He found himself surprised and unprepared when the Bleeding Phoenix suddenly awoke from long slumber, with no advance foreseeing, and flew over southern and eastern Blackflame Empire.
	+ This unexpected awakening was the work of Abidan Judge, Hound of Fate, Makiel.
* Longhook is full of himself, because dream artists prophecied him to become another Sage of Redmoon Hall
* His main weapon is a long sharp big hook, which he covers with his Blood Shadow.
* He has fought with Eithan Arelius twice, injuring Eithan's shoulder the first time. He regretted that later. Eithan showed his true skill the second time, when no one was watching. (Ghostwater ch 13)

## His Path / Abilities

(Ghostwater chapter 13)

* He cycled the Path of Rolling Earth, funneling the strength of boulders through his arms and his weapon.

* His Blood Shadow unfolded from behind him, striking out with a copied Rolling Earth technique. A fist of blood madra, dense as a hammer, struck out from his back. Longhook turned to follow up, but saw only darkness and rain. Something hit him in the back, and he was flying through the air again.

* But he needed an edge. Flexing his spirit, Longhook devoured his Blood Shadow. The red spirit let out a silent scream that cut into Longhook’s soul, and from its position behind Eithan, it began to dissolve into sparkling particles of red essence. As though caught in a swift breeze, the blood essence gusted toward Longhook. The power flooded into him... (Ghostwater chapter 13)
Skysworn

Book four of the Cradle series.

## Synopsis

With his duel fast approaching, Lindon is locked away in prison.

As a Blackflame, he is too dangerous to remain free. The Skysworn, protectors of the Empire, have imprisoned him to keep him under control until the day of his promised fight arrives.

When it does, he will face Jai Long.

But a new danger approaches the Empire, closer every day. Only the Skysworn stand between the people of the land and total annihilation.

And Lindon may be forced to join them.
Golden Elixir

The healing power of Valinhall is accesed through the Valinhall pool. Resting and bathing within it will slowly heal your wounds. However, as with most aspects of Valinhall, this comes with its own dangers: small aquatic imps live at the bottom of the pool and will try and drown you if you stay too long. While this is a perfectly effective way of using the pool, if you stay long enough you can summon the mother of the aquatic imps whose defeat will earn the Traveler the power to call on the pool's healing ability wherever they are.
Helgard

**This page is a stub. You can help the Archive by expanding it.**

**Helgard** is a Territory. It has many, huge floors with dangerous creatures and it is very cold in the Tower. The first floor is the most well-populated.

## Powers

Travelers can summon snow or ice creatures from Helgard. There are also bars of black ice used by the Incarnation to deflect attacks, but it is unknown if this power is available to Travelers.

*"All the creatures of Helgard have blue blood because they are descended from the original ancient titan, he whose blood covers the sky. Every sunset, he comes back to life and his blood retreats. Every sunrise, he is slain once more."* -WoW

Descendants of the Arelius family possess the bloodline ability of the Arelius Senses. Members of the family have vast webs of Madra that surround them and act as extra senses. This web allows them to see, hear, and feel anything within their range. This allows them to dodge almost any attack and it is nearly impossible to sneak up on an Arelius. This becomes even more powerful over time because the range and precision of their senses grows as they advance. It is said that the Arelius Monarch could sense anything all across the entirety of Cradle.

Iron body

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

An **Iron body** is the focal point of a sacred artist’s advancement to the Iron stage. The purified and enhanced physical form granted by this advancement level can determine the path of a sacred artist’s future development. See Iron Rank.

There are different Iron bodies that a sacred artist can attain dependent on their training before advancing to Iron. If a sacred artist conducts no special training they end up with a base form Iron body.

A base form Iron body grants a minimal level of superhuman strength and toughness to the artist (most prominent in Sacred Valley). But, if a sacred artist conducts specialized training and creates specific conditions they can achieve a more advanced level Iron body that will come with specific benefits. This is usually what is done for most sacred artists around the world of Cradle, as these benefits, if matched correctly to the Path of the artist, can enhance overall performance and compatibility within a Path. For example: The Path of the Sandviper consumes the venom and blood (about 3-4 drops) of a sandviper to attain the Bloodforged Iron body. This Iron body ensures a limited immunity to their own venom when using their techniques.

## Iron body, Main Character

* Bloodforged Body (Lindon Accelerates Healing)
* Hidden Spring Iron Body — (Fisher Gesha, survive longer with limited water)
* Moonheart Iron Body (Royal Sha Family Makes it so Physical Trauma Does Not Disrupt Spirit or Mind)
* Mountainroot Iron Body (Seishen Kiro, Allows User to Increase Weight)
* Puppeteer’s Body (Akura Mercy Increases Coordination)
* Raindrop Body (Eithan Arelius Agility. Allows the User to Move Quickly and Smoothly)
* Sandviper Body (Sandviper Gokren same as Bloodforged Body)
* Silverscale Iron Body (Yan Shoumei Increases Resistance to Spiritual Attacks)
* Skyhunter Iron Body (Wei Shi Kelsa, Enhances Eyesight?)
* Steelborn Body (Yerin Arelius, Increases Strength as She Ranks Up)
* Stellar Spear (Jai Long, Jai Clan)

### Hidden Spring Iron body

Forged by the Fisher Sect of the Desolate Wilds

>  The Hidden Spring Iron body. So called because they can go a long time without drinking water, so the idea is that they have a "hidden spring" inside their bodies and they never have to drink at all.

Sacred Beasts

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

Sacred Beasts are ancient animals who can practice the sacred arts. Like humans, they can advance to great power. If advanced enough, they can take human shape.

## How Beasts Become Sacred

Sacred Beasts are ancient animals that have attained sacred status by absorbing enough vital aura from their surroundings to advance in the sacred arts. Their advancement differs from how humans advance, but the specifics on how they differ is not yet well known.

>  If a fox or a turtle survived their first century, they would absorb enough vital aura from the world around them to ascend into sacred beasts. These animals cycled madra, advanced in power, and left Remnants just as humans did. The oldest of them could even speak, and legends said some could take human forms. (Book 1, Unsouled, page 7)
>
>

## The Beast King

* The Beast King is a Herald. This old man of the desert defends the Wastelands from invading gold dragons
* The Herald / Beast King is friends with sacred beasts everywhere, but especially at home in the Wasteland, near the Blackflame Empire. He lives among the sacred beasts, like the powerful and immense Vastwood Mammoth.

## Known Sacred Beasts

* Elder Whisper: An ancient white five-tailed snow-fox in Sacred Valley. He’s a dream artist, using purplish-white light aura, advanced at creating illusions. He is associated with the Wei clan, even though they lock him in his tall white tower. (Unsouled).
For several years, he holds open the void space belonging to the assassinated Sage of the Endless Sword so it won’t crumble away. He trusts Lindon with a secret about the Labyrinth and Dreadgods (see books 9 & 10).

> **Cold wind, crisp with the scents of a spring night, ruffled his white fur. Five bushy tails lashed behind him, tracing arcane patterns in the air that reminded Lindon of a script. “You have eaten of a wonderful fruit,” said the sacred fox. “Tell me the story.”** (Unsouled, book 1)
>
>

* Orthos: A huge sacred turtle, Orthos advances to Lord level while he’s in Sacred Valley. He lived for some years in Serpent’s Grave in the Blackflame Empire. He follows the same dragon path as Lindon, the Path of Black Flame, and identifies as a Dragon Turtle.
* Vastwood Mammoth, allied with The Beast King. On the crumbling island Ghostwater, the Beast King sent his Vastwood Mammoth with Ziel to rescue some Golds unfairly attacked by a dragon Underlady:
> **Another powerful soul was unveiled somewhere on the island. Yerin couldn’t put a name to its advancement level, but it felt impossibly ancient. Then the mammoth rose over the trees and raised its trunk, trumpeting into the sky. She could see it mostly as a pile of fur in the distance; it looked like a mountain’s pet dog.
> The stranger pointed in that direction. “My friend was listening. He’s not happy.”** (Ghostwater, chapter 16)

Sandviper Sect

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

The Sandviper Sect is introduced in book #2, Soulsmith

## Viper namesake

This sect lives in the Desolate Wilds, a rotting area of blackened trees and arid desert in the Western region of the Blackflame Empire. The sect takes its name from a local snake, the sandviper.

> He pulled a squirming sandviper out from behind his back.. .Its centipede legs kicked at the air, its serpentine head baring fangs as it hissed. Its carapace was tan and bright, exactly the color of a desert in the sun. Eithan held it calmly, regarding the monster with something like fascination. “This isn't one of the corrupted dreadbeasts of this region, you know. It's a perfectly natural sacred beast, it just happens to be hideous.” (Soulsmith, ch 15)
>
>

## Main Characters

See books 2-3, Soulsmith and Blackflame. Sandviper Gokren and his son Kral and the key characters. The others are only minor characters.

* Sandviper Gokren *(Chief of the Sandvipers, Path of the Sandviper, Truegold Rank)*
* Sandviper Kral (Son of Gokren, Path of the Sandviper, Highgold Rank)
* Resh (Path of the Sandviper, Lowgold Rank)
* Tern (Path of the Sandviper, Lowgold Rank)
* Tash (Path of the Sandviper, Lowfold Rank)
* Grenn (Messenger for Jai Long, Path of the Sandviper)
* Bren (Path of the Sandviper, Iron Rank)

## Relationships

Part of the Five Factions Alliance at the Transcendent Ruins (see Desolate Wilds#Five Factions Alliance).

The Sandvipers collaborated very closely with Jai Long. The Sandvipers are historic ancestral feudal enemies of the Fisher Sect in the Wilds. Gokren hates Lindon because he killed his son Kral.

## Path & Iron body

Sandvipers follow the Path of the Sandviper. It uses aspects of venom madra. The Goldsign is a green sandviper on the arm.

The Sandviper Iron body helps this sect survive in the rotting desert, where Dreadbeasts and corruption abound. It relies on taking in the venom of a sandviper, and drinking its blood. Rinse and repeat. It is the same as Lindon’s Bloodforged Iron body, basically, but Lindon went further with it. This painful procedure enables the body to quickly heal itself from poisons, viruses, etc.

>  Eithan considered the statement for a moment. “'Immunity to poisons' is really an impossible concept. Any compound that harms the body is a poison, and there's no one solution for them all. What this will do is naturally draw on your spirit to accelerate your body's ability to restore and protect itself. It should help you against poison, parasites, diseases, infection, and so forth, as well as small wounds.” (Soulsmith, ch 15)
>
>

* See Iron body

### techniques

Sandviper Gokren developed the techniques that his sect practices, which focus on forger and ruler techniques. He has few enforcer options, as the madra he cultivates is venemous, but the sandviper (bloodforged) Iron body allows him to heal from any hits he takes or resist his own toxins. He fights ferociously, leveraging his superior power over his opponents and staying on the offensive, zoning his opponents with clouds of toxic gas and striking at them with his two spears.

## Brief

Underlord Jai Daishou is an old man, the Patriarch of the Jai Clan in the Blackflame Empire. He is the only Underlord in the cl seeks a powerful heir, knowing he will die soon. He lives in Serpent’s Grave, in a palace on Shiryu Mountain, but his clan originated in the Desolate Wilds in the western region of the empire. His clan has land out west, near the forbidden western Labyrinth.

>  The Underlord Patriarch of the Jai clan was a legend; with his own hands, he had built the Jai from a remote clan in the wilderness to an Imperial power. (Blackflame chapter 2)
>
>

## Ranking & Pride

Patriarch Jai Daishou is a proud man, ranked the seventh most powerful Underlord in the empire. He is on the Path of the Stellar Spear, with metallic hair for a Goldsign. He is too proud for his own good, a fatal flaw in character. He likes to call Eithan Arelius “Eleven” because he was ranked four slots beneath him. He banishes his most promising young sacred artist Jai Long, when he suddenly sustains a rather horrific facial deformity, because he no longer looks fair enough to lead the great Jai clan.

## Feud w Jai Long

Daishou’s main enemy in the Jai clan is Jai Long, an exile. Long hates the clan leader because he coldly abandoned his little sister Jai Chen, only six years old, and exiled himself, only 13 or 14, after they were attacked and seriously injured in childhood. Jai Chen also hates the cruel old man. Daishou doesn’t take this enmity seriously enough.

## Feud w Arelius

He waged a deadly feud against Underlord Eithan Arelius and his janitorial family and staff in Serpent’s Grave. This takes place in books 3 and 4, Blackflame and Skysworn. Patriarch Jai Daishou felt Eithan Arelius — only ranked eleven — didn’t show him enough respect. The two clashed violently. Jai Daishou ordered his clan to sabotage and vandalize Arelius janitorial holdings in Serpent’s Grave (Blackflame ch 3). He later orchestrated a city-wide assassination of all family members of House Arelius — the Blackflame Branch, and the adopted members, Lindon and Yerin Arelius. His clan killed many, but his plan didn’t quite succeed. (Book 3, Blackflame)

>  The Jai clan has all but declared war on our family.”
> “All but?” Yerin repeated. “Is it war, or no war?”
>  “If they declared it openly, the Emperor’s forces would cripple the aggressor in a day. But the Skysworn stay out of the petty squabbles between clans.
> (Blackflame chapter 5)

Dragon Fang

The defining attribute of a Valinhall Traveller is their sword or their Dragon Fang. There are thirteen Dragon Fangs and bonding with one is the defining attribute of a Valinhall Traveller. Dragon Fangs are required to open gates both into and out of Valinhall, each one is a unique and unbreakable sentient sword that also earns it's wielder access to their own room in Valinhall and an advisor to assist the wielder in combat. The exception to that last rule is Mithra, the sword wielded by the current leader of Valinhall, rather than coming with a combat advisor, it is linked to the Eldest of the Nye, who assists in administration. Dragon Fangs are also useful for channeling other powers from Valinhall such as Wind and the Frozen Horn, obviously this doesn't work with all powers.

Good-humored. Fair-minded. Energetic. Likes a good battle. Not fond of too much ceremony. Not overly prideful. He is friends with Eithan Arelius. When refugees need help after the dreadgods trample the countryside, he personally brings food and provisions (Reaper).

## Appearance

Huan is a vigorous man with a bearing and carriage that inspires confidence.

> **Naru Huan turned, spreading his vast, shimmering emerald wings for effect. He cut a heroic figure, with a jaw like a brick and eyes like knives. His royal robes didn't hide his muscular figure, and the outfit was impressive in its own right. His robes had a green dragon and a blue one twining around each other, the cool colors complementing his wings, and his hair was pinned up with a jade pin.**

## Powers, Abilities

He is highly skilled on his Path. He is the only Overlord in the realm and the highest ranking sacred artist. For a while....

## Path

The Path of Grasping Sky is the Imperial Path. It is illegal for anyone except the Naru clan to practice it. It uses aspects of wind madra. After years of practice on the Path, Copper sight is tuned to the wind, improving battle senses and perception. Furthermore, this Path enables skillful artists to hold an opponent in place with wind. Key notable sacred artists on this Path include the Emperor Overlord, Naru Huan, the Skysworn Captain, Naru Gwei, Naru Saeya, and the rising star of the younger generation, Naru Jing

## Emperor's Blackflame Sword

> **Lindon... couldn't help pausing when he saw the sword. It had a long, straight blade of dense black, with red layers streaked through it in a pattern that reminded him of rising flames. It was Blackflame. The Emperor had a sword made from the Path of Black Flame, and from the pressure it gave off, it was at least an Overlord-level weapon.**

Now, they have all gathered in one place, bringing their heirs and greatest students together for a competition to determine whose successor is the best in the world:

The Uncrowned King tournament.
Seshethkunaaz

Seshethkunaaz, the King of Dragons and Monarch of the eastern Ashwind continent, is a gold dragon Monarch who takes the form of a young human boy.

He follows the Path of the Wasteland and leads the Dragon Faction. He believes that power and survival should be the world's only laws.

In Wintersteel he is killed by Yerin using Penance.

## History

“Gold dragons have a natural affinity for fire and water aura, but Seshethkunaaz was born in the desert. An exile, he was left by the rest of his kind to die.

He was found by a group of human nomads, who saved the dying dragon and raised him as part of their family. He formed a contract with one of their children, providing him with enough pure madra to dilute his spirit. With time and great effort, he was able to change the nature of his madra and embark on the Path of the Wasteland. He and his contractor were raised as brothers, and they advanced together at great speed.

When he reached Underlord, he took on a human form like that of his contractor. His adoptive parents shortened his name to Sesh, introducing the two of them as twin brothers, and explaining Sesh’s remaining draconic traits as part of his Goldsign.

For years, they remained content. Until Sesh’s brother killed a child.

In a conflict between hot-tempered boys, Sesh’s young contractor lost his temper. He struck a Lowgold, forgetting his strength as an Underlord. His victim perished instantly.

In many lands, an Underlord would not be held responsible for any actions against a Gold. But the laws of this nation prohibited the murder of anyone regardless of advancement, and the young victim was the descendant of a powerful clan.

Sesh’s family fled in the night, but they were soon caught. Sesh’s brother was executed for murder, reckless use of power, and fleeing justice.”

Kiuran of the Hounds

Sacred Arts

Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

Kiuran of the Hounds is a supprting member of the Abidan Division 001, Fate. He is not a judge himself. He is devoted to Makiel the Hound of Fate, his boss. Makiel is like a father to him.

Kiuran descended to Cradle during the 18th Uncrowned King Tournament and offered the weapon Penance to the champion. He encouraged all sacred artists, when they advance to Sage, Herald, or Monarch level, to ascend from Cradle, into The Way, and possibly join the Abidan forces someday.

> .. .compared to Suriel, this man was a disappointment. He had the features of an ordinary human, a pinched face with a thin beard, and dark hair cropped close to his head. His eyes were the beady black of a rat’s. But he wore the same eggshell-smooth white armor that Suriel had, and over his shoulder drifted an eye with a purple iris. It looked like an Akura eyeball the size of the man’s whole head. The eyeball turned in a circle, looking at the Monarchs, but the man didn’t. He looked down to the gathered Underlords. “Children.” He sounded as though he stood right next to them. “I am Kiuran of the Hounds. Do not be bound by this world. The most talented of you will one day be offered the choice to leave, to emerge from this cradle and truly live. Do not take the example of your elders. When the invitation comes, accept it, and let your eyes be opened to the real world.” (Uncrowned ch 20)
