In short order Kandar finds itself at war again, this time fighting a war of attrition against [[AIIsACrapshoot Seth, the Machine Lord]] and his forces. The heroes of the Draco War have either [[DroppedABridgeOnHim died]], [[BrotherChuck vanished without explanation]], or [[StayInTheKitchen dedicated themselves to their families]] at the expense of leaving the military or adventuring life. Combined with an evacuation of as many survivors as possible to the [[FloatingContinent Kingsland]] and the raising of three more cities to float with it, this is the Kandar that Antigone, her cousin [[BlueBlood Selah]], and others of the next generation have grown up in.

* '''Tyra Revail:''' A mysterious orphan, but NOT in your usual sense. Tyra is [[ActionGirl active, daring, and not afraid to meet challenges - and enemies - head-on]]. Skilled with swords and other melee weaponry, especially scimitars, but best with [[KnifeNut throwing knives and similar weapons]]. An apprentice [[AdventurerArchaeologist Excavator]].

* '''Antigone Algoni:''' A green-haired [[LastOfHisKind girl]] from the [[DoomedHometown destroyed village]] of Cerbolt, adopted by Lucas and Summer. [[BareFistedMonk She's trained herself in unarmed]] and [[SimpleStaff quarterstaff]] combat, intending to get involved in ''some way'' with the war below... much against the wishes of her father.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* '''Titus Draeven:''' [[EyepatchOfPower One-eyed]] [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue-haired]] SmugSnake of an Evil Minion. Works as an "Agent" for Kandar, collecting "debts" and doling out appropriate "justice" for crimes as he sees fit... and has a particular interest in [[OrphansPlotTrinket the item Enoch left for Tyra]]. [[ManipulativeBastard Smarter and more influential than he appears.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Titus, Silas, Lohan, Dr. Vyst, and Lorne ''all'' have hair that's ''some'' shade of blue. Tyra's is black with a violet hue [[spoiler:as are Trysta's and Lyrdreia's]]; Venn, Salome, and [[spoiler:Forlorn]] all have straight-up purple hair of some shade or another.

* '''Antigone Algoni:''' A [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair green-haired]] [[LastOfHisKind girl]] from the [[DoomedHometown destroyed village]] of Cerbolt, adopted by Lucas and Summer. [[BareFistedMonk She's trained herself in unarmed]] and [[SimpleStaff quarterstaff]] combat, intending to get involved in ''some way'' with the war below... much against the wishes of her father.
