There are a large number of people who are drawn into the saga of Aneurin and Caelin as they pursue their quest to reclaim their kingdom. On these website pages you will find a helpful reminder of who's who, arranged in book order. The character list grows cumulatively book-by-book, so be careful not to peep too far ahead, or you might inadvertently stumble upon a plot spoiler! 

​

Characters are grouped firstly by the location with which the person is associated in the story, and then in alphabetical order by first name. Surnames were rare in the early medieval period, and instead people tended to be known for a notable physical characteristic (e.g. ‘ravenhair’ or ‘lame-legged’) or given a nickname (e.g. ‘troll-tamer’). This was especially common amongst the Norse, and nicknames were often amusing. A person might also be described by their role/profession or their place of residence (e.g. ‘Robert the smith’, or ‘Robert of Wilcote’). Alternatively, they might also be referred to as ‘son of...’ or ‘daughter of...’ The prefix ‘ap’ is Brythonic for ‘son of’, while ‘ferch’ means ‘daughter of.’ The Norse equivalent for daughter is ‘dóttir.’​
