Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
The Dweller. Prophet. Statistician. Sometimes madman. It is unclear, even to himself, whether he is seeing the future or calculating probabilities better than the fastest computer in existence. Needless to say, The Dweller knows things, often before they happen.
It has been the one thing about the idea of a soul’s immortality that has been bugging me for a while now indeed: The effects of sensory deprivation. Alone in one’s own mind? Eek.
Yeah. Makes me think of that Shakespeare line: “I could bound myself in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.” Aieee…
On totally different subjects – when will the next book be out? and, I just received some used books that are fascinating. 5 of the The Daily Telegraph Obituaries books published in the 90’s. Interesting enough, many of your characters resemble people in those books! Hmmm.
There’s no connection, I promise, I’d never even heard of the Daily Telegraph stuff until now.
As for the book, things are on hold right now, mainly because I desperately need to upgrade my system. I’m on an older box right now, and I am getting low on hard drive space.
