Characters and Important Places
from the Rise of the Fifth Order Trilogy

Behk’sah – A very powerful Ashanti mage who acts as an advisor and representative of the Sah clan to Rah’kana. He believes he was passed over for being the next kana due to his power and chooses not to take a wife as is the Ashanti custom with those with very strong powers.

Beite – Darag’s younger sister. A Kith girl, too young to “choose” (marry) in Kith tradition.

Bennet – One of the two leaders of the Temple in the Clouds and a brother to Tam.

Cuileann – Kith. A friend of Darag and Beite. Of age with Laireag.

Dahal – an Erowok servant sworn to obey Timpada. He does her bidding and lives within the Temple of Solaire, using his magic for the Church mostly as a healer. His father is Whatay.

Darag – Born in the forests of Lus na Sithchaine, Darag is a Kith, an isolated race whose skin resembles bark and whose soul is bound to a tree at birth. This kinship with the forest grants long life, as long as the life of their tree, to the Kith, but also tends to keep them hidden in the forest. Unlike most Kith, Darag is restless… and very powerful. All Kith are born with power similar to Earth Elementals. Despite his young age (to the Kith) he is the third and final member of the Kith Council of Elders due to his strong powers.

Dominia – A Fire Elemental who carries out orders for High Priest Sinika. Sinika’s closest protege.
