Anya
Anya, the daughter of a clan elder slain by Baal, has been groomed since birth to become the leader of her people. She has a broad education in the history, magic and healing techniques of her clan. Although she grieves for her father in her heart, she knows that she must be strong for her people in this time of need.

Malah
Malah is a kind and inherently optimistic woman who is, nevertheless, worn down by many battles against the forces of evil. Using her lifelong experience as a healer, she is doing her best to help the many wounded and dying. She is plagued, however, by the fear that there may be no ultimate recovery for her people or the world of Sanctuary.

Larzuk
Larzuk is a young and passionate firebrand who is determined to stay the course until the bitter end of the war against Baal. He prides himself in his ability to create the finest implements of war, and he toils ceaselessly to supply the army with blade, plate, and mail.

Nihlathak
As the last surviving clan elder, he has been driven close to madness by his grief over the imminent failure of his clan to protect the World Stone. Constantly ruminating on the myriad alternate courses the elders could have taken, he lives with the guilt of not dying with his peers.

Qual-Kehk
Although tired and battered, the clan’s Master at Arms still commands the unquestioning respect of his men. His eyes are grimly focused on the horizon, and he has the wistful demeanor of a man who knows he will soon sacrifice his life -- and those of his men -- in a battle that he may not win.
