Which builder are you?

The people of the kingdom

The cast.

• Arvell

  A young smith who comes home to build alone.

• Hena

  His mother. A master weaver who says little, and means all of it.

• Narek

  The baker who shows up at the worst hour with bread and no questions.

• Selen

  The first buyer who tells him the truth about his work.

• Khora

  The rival who has the discipline he wants.

• Taron

  The old master smith who gives the smallest answer that holds the lesson.

• Savo

  The caravan-master who knows every buyer and every debt in three valleys.

• Talin

  A peer, and a question he has not yet been asked.

• Drosh

  The loud one — a man who is, in a word, a banner.

• Hraz

  The new forge. Treated, by everyone, as if it had moods.

Kira, and the apprentice who arrives at the end, are left for you to meet in the book.
