A Nal'sarkoth Tax Collector [[spoiler:and Nidraa'chal agent]] first seen at the Felde meeting in Chapter 44. His concept art can be found [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ch44_erusakel_news.jpg here]].

[[/folder]]

An Ys council member and Nal'sarkoth representative. [[spoiler: She also is a Nidraa'chal agent]]. She appears in Chapter 45, informing the Tur'geis' squad that they are no longer welcome in Ys. Her concept art can be found [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ch45_Kane.png here]].

* BadassBureaucrat: And 'how'! He even intimidates Chrys'tel.

* AllThereInTheManual (the clan's history, as written by the clan's creators)
* AnimalMotifs (their clan mount appears to be some type of [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20060226c02p026.JPG yak]] called a Haledri)
* BodyguardBetrayal (According to the Daydream story set in Mimaneid, the Nal'sarkoth were originally allied with the Kashyra, a clan they had hired to do mercenary and security work for them, but this became an example of MistreatmentInducedBetrayal since the Kashyra didn't feel appreciated by the Nal'sarkoth, so they were eventually overthrown, the original leader killed and only Rel'lumia and a few others escaping to Chel.)
* ContestWinnerCameo (a variation, in that they were created by two fans as part of a contest and then added to the series' official canon, and as a fairly major player in Chel's political scene, too)
* ElementalEyeColors (most members of the clan seem to have GreenEyes, which fits with the fact that they tend to have wood affinities)
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether (its not canon that the two clans would recognise each other, but it has now been confirmed that the Jaal'darya also once lived in Mimaneid)
* GreenThumb (the clan's [[PlanetOfHats hat]], since they're among the only people in Chel who know how to work with plants, have affinities for wood and have major ties to the surface, and because green dye is expensive and hard to get they use it as their clan's color)
* HufflepuffHouse (so far they've played this role in the main story, but they're very important in the Path To Power and Relic Hunters games)
* IntrepidMerchant (Like the Illhar'dro they have many ties to the surface and trade is their main source of income.)
* NobleFugitive (the entire clan became this after having to flee their home city of Mimaneid before they settled in Chel)
* OddCouple (Their house is made up of various races not just drow. This is due to a need to bulk up their numbers and the fact that their trading covers a vast network area. Some dwarves and even halmes head minor sub-houses but when entering Chel are almost always accompanied by a drow.)
* ProperlyParanoid (they designed their home in Chel so that an attack like the one that drove them out of Mimaneid couldn't happen again, and they actively cultivate positive relationships with other clans to avoid the jealousy and discontent that caused it)
* SelfMadeOrphan (Rel'lumia's second daughter attempted this but failed)

* BodyguardBetrayal (She used beast guards to keep herself safe. But when [[spoiler:Kharla'ggen's PhlebotinumOverload PeoplePuppets all the fae]], the beast guards themselves, who were immune to this power, took advantage of the event to betray and kill her.)
* CharacterTics ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20090415c16p011.jpg Gesturing with her fan]])
* GreenThumb (As is her clan's hat.)
* ImmigrantPatriotism (Though originally from Mimaneid, Rel'lumia shows a large amount of concern for her adopted homeland.)
* ProudMerchantRace (At the Ill'haress gathering called by Zala'ess preTimeSkip, she is one of the most vocal supporters for drow expansion to the surface world)

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished (notably averted during [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8629 chapter 38]]. Her hair is very frizzy, likely from the heat, and she seems to have a burn on her right cheek. Amusingly, her white dress seems to be spotless, meaning it got off better than she did.)
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow (though her hair is almost certainly dyed)
* GiantPoofySleeves (on her dress in Chapter 38, though a bit lower down than most, and her actual shoulders are bare, leaving them as semi-detached sleeves)
* NewOldFlame (for Kel'noz if you take the Daydream story where she has a crush on him as canon)
* NumberTwo (of her mother)
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure (Was concerned with the fate of one of the landlords in her district in Chapter 38.)
* SimpleStaff (Carries a staff around with her. This is said by WordOfGod to be seen as redundant in Chel and Nuqrah'shareh, but this might be a remnant of her roots back in Mimaneid; said to be a very traditional minded city which still considers duels to be a appropriate way of determining strength.)
* WomanInWhite (In Chapter 38 she wears a pure white dress that somehow manages to escape damage)

* CoolPet (his tiktikki)
* DisappearedDad (his father is from another city, though Ini'riia hopes to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=159 meet him again someday]])
* DoggedNiceGuy (As Shinae's boyfriend. Yet the contest story ''Disharmony'' shows that he can give as good as he gets in terms of snark.)
* HeroicBSOD (the sight of Shinae's [[spoiler:deformed stillborn baby]] sends him into a [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8803 minor one]], and tells them to burn it before she sees it)
* GreenThumb (like most Nal'Sarkoth)
* TheMasochismTango (This was the opinion of most people regarding his relationship with Shinae in ''Disharmony''.)
* MulticoloredHair (his hair is mostly green, but blue near the tips)
* OfficialCouple (after the timeskip, with Shinae thanks to a side story by Zeerose)
* TheQuietOne (his first spoken line of dialog is [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=173 15 pages after his first appearance]])
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl (Describes his relationship with Shinae, for a given definition of Shinae's ''energeticness'')
* SecurityBlanket (how he seems to use his tiktikki)
* ShrinkingViolet (during introductions he [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=158 looks very nervous]] and [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=160 clutches his tiktikki]])

* UnderstandingBoyfriend (And how! No wonder WordOfGod above suggests that he is a masochist))

[[folder: Erusa'kel*]]

!! Erusa'kel
A Nal'sarkoth tax collector, currently in service to Snadhya'rune. [[spoiler: Also heavily implied to be a Nidraa'chal agent]].

* {{Bouncer}} (He takes this role very seriously as Mel'arnach and later Chrys'tel found out.)
* DramaticEllipsis (He frequently punctuates his sentences with these to give himself a more ominous tone.)
* EvilDebtCollector (Or rather, an evil tax collector to be precise)
* InsultBackfire (When Lulianne ([[spoiler:actually Khaless in disguise]]) calls him a creep, he says that hearing it from her, he considers that a compliment.)
* KnifeNut (When first introduced, he keeps holding one behind his back the entire time he is talking with Mel'arnach and Lulianne. Then in Chapter 44, he [[DeadlyUpgrade upgrades this into a sword]])
* ObviouslyEvil (So much so, it appears to be deliberate on the creator's choice.)
* PsychoticSmirk (Sports one of these when he insists on escorting Mel'arnach and Lulianne.)
* RedEyesTakeWarning (He has the red eyes of a tainted and is decidedly creepy.)
[[/folder]]

* GiantPoofySleeves (on her dress in Chapter 38, though a bit lower down than most, and her actual shoulders are bare, leaving them as semi DetachedSleeves)

* StaffChick (Carries a staff around with her. This is said by WordOfGod to be seen as redundant in Chel and Nuqrah'shareh, but this might be a remnant of her roots back in Mimaneid; said to be a very traditional minded city which still considers duels to be a appropriate way of determining strength.)

* KnifeNut (When first introduced, he keeps holding one behind his back the entire time he is talking with Mel'arnach and Lulianne. Then in Chapter 44, he [[WeaponsUpgrade upgrades this into a sword]])
