Minor Figures of the Rivenlands¶
People of the Riven Kingdoms and the lands around them in the Fifth Age, from the autumn of 704 SM and the years of the Sancturi Campaign, who have too little recorded to stand on pages of their own: the rulers of the great kingdoms and their heirs, the officers of the Keepers of Abaddon and the Brotherhood of the Sun, ascendants and saints of the Kalari gods remembered in relics and vaults, the witches of Arkuun, and the many people met on the road. Sancturi officers and sages are on Minor Figures of the Sancturi Imperium; the villagers of Harwith on Minor Figures of Harwith.
