Valyn's Shadow
V'dann Triana er-Lord Falcion
Head of V'dann (one of a few maidens in a position like this). Known for filling her life with hedonistic pleasures. Acquaintance of Valyn. She gave him, Shana, Mero and Keman a temporary shelter, when they were pursued by Lord Dyran. She wanted to make Mero her personal wizard by bespelling him. Her plan, however, failed, mostly due to an attack on Mero by one of her favourite male slaves, Laras. Clan crest: a basilisk standing on its hind legs.
V'denn Lyon Lord Kynredth
One of the most respected elven lords, father of V'Keln Gildor. House crest: winged deer.
V'dern Iridelan an-Lord Kedris

V'Heven Myen Lord Lainner

V'kass Ardeyn el-Lord Fortren Lord Hernalth
Elf; twin brother of V'kass Valyn, son of Lord Dyran and Lady Lyssia. In pursuance of the marriage contract, he was brought up by Lyssia's father - V'Sheyl Edres lord Fortren and became his heir. A year after the escape of Valyn and death of Dyran, in spite of persistent objections of V'kass Treves sur Hernalth, he became the head of the House of Hernalth.
A day after the magnificent ball he organized (the aim of which was to choose an appropriate spouse and in which, due to his high social status, most of the leven lords took part - including V'larn Tylar Treves with his daughter Sheyrena), he became engaged to Katherina an Vittes.
V'kass Cheynar sur Trentil
Liege of Lord Dyran, who bred common workers and held humans in such contempt, that he almost hated them. Valyn was fostered with him.
V'kass Dyran Lord Hernalth
The most powerful and sly of the High Lords. One of those who crossed the gate from Evelon (he did that against his father's will). Famous for the weaponry made in his land. House colours: gold and wine-red. Clan crest: phoenix.
V'kass Treves sur Hernalth
Brother of Lord Dyran. Father of Mero Jenner.
V'kass Valyn el-Lord Hernalth

V'larn Tylar Treves

V'meyn Lysha er-Lord Saker
Head of V'meyn (one of a few maidens on a position like this). By some suspected of the quiet assassination of the husband she had been sent to wed, as soon as the ink was dry on the marriage vows (nothing could be proved against her).
Vossinor, Lord
Due to his quarrel with Lord Jertain, by the ruling of the Council, a duel took place at Lord Dyran's arena. The quarrel involved a disputed trade route and a series of insults traded in Council. House colors: cinnabar and brown.
V'Sharn Jaems Lord Kelum
Alamarana discovered a pleasure gazebo in his rock garden and thought it was charming. She copied it at the entrance to her cave.

Lord Dyran's ally and father-by-marriage. Father of Lady Lyssia. He trained the finest of duelists, gladiators and guards.
V'Tarn Sandar Lord Festin
Guest of Lord Dyran during a gladiator duel. Straightforward, didn't seem to like Lord Dyran very much. Clan crests: emerald and sapphire dolphins.

Wizard War, the First
When elves entered this world they learned their halfblood offspring was more powerful that they were and wanted to use them as political tools. The halfbloods have, however, risen up against their masters. This was the cause of the war in which on one side there were the elven lords and on the other - their halfblood children. The elven lords won, but could not find the halfblood's refuge - the Citadel.
Wizard War, the Second
The second conflict between the elves, led by Lord Dyran and halfbloods, this time led by Lashana the Elvenbane and aided by the dragons. The halfbloods won when Valyn killed his father - Lord Dyran - in a suicidal mission.
Wizard War, the Thirs

It was a common name for halfbloods borned of mixed elven-human parentage and endowed with strong magical abilities. Those abilities, it should be noted, widely exceeded those of either parent.
