Twelve Paladins
[[folder:In General]]
The very first witches, a group of twelve souls, two per element, charged with keeping the peace in the Witchlands. Upon their death, they reincarnated into a new body with all the memories of their past lives. A millennium before, six of them turned on the other six, calling themselves the Exalted Ones and proclaiming themselves rulers of humanity. This provoked a war, which ended in the deaths of at least eleven of the Paladins via a weapon designed to rob them of the memories of their past lives when they reincarnated. In the present, they are assumed to be long dead, but they are still out there, unaware of their true identities.



* FaceHeelTurn: The Six who became the Exalted Ones did this. Then the Rook King betrayed the other five.

!!Main Characters

[[folder:Safi]]
!!Domna Safiya "Safi" fon Hastrell

An orphaned Domna of Cartorra who has lived in Veñaza City, capital of the Dalmotti Empire, since she was twelve, living with Silk Guildmaster Alix and studying with her teacher Mathew. She is the Threadsister of Iseult, and the only living Truthwitch in the world at the moment. She has kept her power secret out of fear of becoming a pawn in the game between empires.
----
* HotBlooded: She's very reckless.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: The Hastrell estates are very poor, despite Safi's rank.
* LivingLieDetector: She's the only known Truthwitch in the world.
* MacguffinGirl: Every great power in the Witchlands is after her because of her rare powers as a Truthwitch.
* RunawayFiancee: She was involuntarily betrothed to the Emperor of Cartorra, who's much older than her. Her uncle and his associates helped her escape afterwards, and she's still running.

[[folder:Iseult]]
!!Iseult det Midenzi

A Nomatsi Threadwitch who can't make Threadstones, she left her tribe and came to Veñaza City because she felt out of place. There, she met Safi and they became Threadsisters. But after the two are forced to leave, Iseult begins to discover that her powers may not be what she thought they were.
----
* TheEmpath: She can see the Threads, which reveal emotions, of everyone except other Threadwitches and Aeduan.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Iseult's inability to make Threadstones, the fact that Aeduan can't smell her blood, the mention that Cahr Awen pairs are always composed of an Aetherwitch and a Voidwitch, and her connection with Esme all hint that she's not a Threadwitch but a Weaverwitch, the Void equivalent, long before she comes to realize this herself.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She doesn't have a very high opinion of herself.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: She's always wanted her mother Gretchya's approval, and that she can't seem to get it because of her shortcomings as a Threadwitch doesn't do much for her self-esteem.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Merik]]
!!Prince Merik Nihar

The younger child of the King of Nubrevna, and the admiral of their navy. He's a Windwitch who inherited his family's famous temper, which he has trouble keeping in check, and he firmly believes that his older sister is up to no good.
----
* BlowYouAway: He's a Windwitch.
* FakingTheDead: He is presumed dead after an assassination attempt at the beginning of ''Windwitch'', and chooses not to correct the assumption to give him more freedom of movement.
* HairTriggerTemper: He inherited the infamous Nihar temper from his father, and has a hard time keeping it in check.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He believes that Nubrevna will go to ruin without him, and in general that he's more important than he actually is. By the end of ''Windwitch'', he's letting up on this a bit.
* UnreliableNarrator: In ''Truthwitch'', Merik gives the impression that his sister Vivia is TheEvilPrincess. It's revealed in ''Windwitch'' that she isn't.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Aeduan]]
!!Aeduan

A half-Nomatsi Bloodwitch and Carawen monk, he's had problems his whole life with people who are terrified of him because of his status as a Voidwitch. Oh, and his father is the BigBad.
----
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He's the only character with a HealingFactor, and as such gets injured, often gruesomely, far more often than anyone else.
* HazyFeelTurn: By the end of ''Windwitch'', he's stopped following his father's orders and is no longer Iseult's enemy, but isn't quite a good guy yet.
* HealingFactor: His Bloodwitchery gives him one powerful enough to survive being stabbed in the heart more than once.
* HumanPincushion: During the climax of ''Windwitch'', he gets shot up with more than a dozen arrows.
* OneManArmy: His HealingFactor and combat skills make him capable of taking on and defeating seven men at once.
* ThePowerOfBlood: As a Bloodwitch, he can control his own blood and that of others, as well as track nearly anyone unerringly.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes turn red when he's using his powers.
* WarriorMonk: He's a Carawen mercenary monk.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's deathly afraid of fire.

----
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Polly", courtesy of Safi.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Unlike Eren, he poses as an utter fop rather than a drunk, doing so to slow down Aeduan's search.
[[/folder]]

[[/folder]]

The Empress of Marstok, and a powerful Ironwitch.

* BadassLesbian: Is pining away after her Threadsister Stix, and is very capable in combat.
* TheEvilPrincess: Merik certainly saw her this way, believing that she cared only about her own power. She isn't.
* GreenEyedMonster: She's extremely jealous of her younger brother because she believes that Merik was just handed everything that she had to work hard for.
* MakingASplash: She's a powerful Tidewitch.
* TranquilFury: Instead of the infamous Nihar rage, she gets this.

The last remaining Sightwitch, and only the second in the order's history not to have the Sight at all.
----

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Sightwitch''.
* LastOfHerKind: She's the only remaining Sightwitch who isn't frozen in the mountain. Ironically, she doesn't have the Sight at all.

A mysterious man who has been working to bring the former Republic of Arithuania under his control, doing so under the noses of the major empires. His ambitions, however, stretch far beyond Arithuania.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: Shaping up to be one for Aeduan.
* BigBad: Behind most of the problems facing our protagonists so far.
* TheGhost: Has yet to appear in person.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Esme]]
!!Esme, the Puppeteer

A teenage Weaverwitch who works for Ragnor.
----
* TheDragon: Seems to be Ragnor's second-in-command.
* EmbarrassingNickname: She hates being called the Puppeteer, thinking it childish. It doesn't stop her boss from calling her that, though.
* EvilCounterpart: To Iseult, since they're both the same kind of witch.
* FriendlyEnemy: She genuinely considers Iseult her friend and wants to help her master her powers.
* TheHeavy: Via her Weaverwitchery, she has been responsible for most of the direct threats to the protagonists.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Corlant]]

A Cursewitch who works for Ragnor. He turned the people of the Midenzi settlement against their Threadwitch Gretchya, Iseult's mother, using his powers and a threat to depower her if she unmasked him. He also moonlights as a Purist priest.
----
* BadPowersBadPeople: He's a Cursewitch, who can {{depower}} other witches and give people WoundsThatWillNotHeal, and is an utter scumbag.
* SinisterMinister: He is also a Purist priest, which is somewhat ironic as they're the AntiMagicalFaction of the setting. Of course, they don't ''know'' he's a witch.
* SmugSnake: Gives off a general oily, unpleasant demeanour.
* SexualExtortion: It's heavily implied he's making Gretchya sleep with him by threatening to {{depower}} her if she refuses.
