Aerrvin has been given the Americas to create his own Kingdom. Aerrvin has been repeatedly asked to find a wife; as it is tradition that the firstborn produce an heir before the second child does. Harmony married far too young, but she did, so now Aerrvin feels the pressure and eventually concedes that yes, now is the time to find his own companion.

Bronwyn of clan MacIntash is a Brownie Chronicler, meaning he is writing the story so he is not often included as a character.

Brownies are a servant class either serving a location or an individual.
