House Anaris

The Anaris family comes from the Golden Forest on the continent of Terash, far across the seas. They came to these lands to find a place to train themselves and increase their skills away from the spreading darkness that threatens to envelop their homeland. Someday, they will return and liberate the Forest from the evil blood-mage Jilak Darkmoon, but for now, they learn what they can and try to do good in these lands.

Anton

Anton is the eldest in the family, and has lived in Minas Ithil on Atamara since the family arrived. He watches over the family's home away from home in York. He has retired as the General of Minas Ithil, and now devotes his full time to maintaining his region, teaching his students (he has written a book of the lessons he uses), and serving his Goddess, Arelien.

Anton is a tall man, slightly over 6 feet, with mid-brown hair and deep blue eyes. He has a slightly squared chin, and a face that can turn easily to laughter, though it is most often serious. His preferred colours are the blue and white of Minas Ithil, though he has a dark red cloak, and a sun-in-glory emblem of the Goddess Arelien, whom he serves. He almost always wears his sword--a gift to his family, long ago, from the Goddess Herself.

Ariana

Ariana is Anton's cousin. She came to the South-West Island, seeking glory in battle. She found confusion and guilt after she broke her word to return to Ikalak, and lives in torment after helping Taselak destroy Ikalak. She now resides in Svunnetland on the Far East Island, after having blazed a trail of chaos through the southern part of that continent. She is now engaged to be married to Morthwyl Bellator.

Ariana is of slightly more than average height at 5 feet 6 inches. She has golden hair, with more than a hint of red to it, and sapphire blue eyes. Her face is heart-shaped, and her temper often lends it a formidable appearance, her eyes piercing those who raise her ire. She favours flame colours, usually muted, and always wears a dark red cloak. Her preferred weapon is a longbow, though she also carries a short sword for when she must fight hand-to-hand.

Alanna

Alanna is Ariana's younger sister. She originally came hoping to aid Ariana in the defense of Ikalak, but her ship was blown off-course, and she landed instead on the South-East Island, where she remains to this day. She has held many positions within Ikalak, and was Ruler for some time before being captured by Sandalak and tortured for many hours. Not long after that, she left Ikalak hoping to find herself, feeling that she had lost her own identity in Ikalak. She is now in Old Grehk, following Quinn Bellator, whose God Tyr she believes to be related to her own God of Balance, Mistarin, whose divine guidance she believes she will need to find herself.

Alanna is the shortest of the Anaris nobles, standing no more than 5 feet 4 inches. She has bright golden hair and ice-blue eyes, and until recently preferred flamboyant flame colours--bright reds, golds, and oranges--but now wears more drab colours, reflecting her moderate depression. Her face is slenderer than her sister's, and even more susceptible to quick changes of mood: when she has just won a battle, her eyes practically glow with fierce joy, but when she is slighted, her face looks like an approaching storm. With her recent change of location and status, though, her face tends to look contemplative and a little sad. She is very good with both sword and bow, and carries both a longbow and a bastard sword, though she prefers the bow.

Delvin

Delvin is Anton's younger brother. He arrived in the far south of the East Continent, but found it less to his liking, and sailed to Beluaterra. There, he soon joined the fledgling realm of Riombara, which he served for many months before being elected Ruler there. He also founded the Sungard.

Delvin is slightly shorter than his brother, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. His face is much like his brothers, but slightly thinner, more ready to smile, with eyes that twinkle and shine when he has a mischievous idea or his sense of humour is tweaked. He wears golden colours with green accents when acting in his official capacity as Prime Minister of Riombara, and red and gold when acting as the Guardian of the Sun, leader of the Sungard. He carries twin curved long daggers with green traceries on the hilts, as well as several concealed knives.
