Line #5 Characters/TheRiddleMasterTrilogy


1	!Main protagonists:
2
3	[[folder:Morgon]]
4	!Morgon of Hed, a.k.a. the Prince of Hed, the Riddle-Master of Hed, the Star-Bearer, Star-Lord, [[spoiler:The High One]]
5	The Prince of Hed and least important of land-rulers. He was born with three stars on his forehead, which are the subject of some of the oldest unsolved riddles. Before [[ParentalAbandonment his parents died]] Morgon attended [[WizardingSchool Caithnard]] where he studied riddle mastery. Shortly before the first book he secretly bet his life in a riddle game that hundreds of men have died attempting. He keeps the crown he won [[ModestRoyalty under his bed]] and [[IJustWantToBeNormal just wants]] [[CallToAgriculture to farm]].
6
7	* ActualPacifist: At the start of the story, anyway.
8	* BirthmarkOfDestiny: The three stars on his forehead.
9	* ChosenOne: The Star-Bearer
10	* IJustWantToBeNormal: He would prefer to just ignore his BirthmarkOfDestiny and work as a farmer.

15	[[folder:Raederle]]
16	!Raederle of An, a.k.a. the second most beautiful woman of An, [[spoiler:the Heir of Sea and Fire, Ylon's Child]]
17	the "second most beautiful woman in the three portions of An", and daughter of the land-ruler of An. She was promised by her father Mathom to the man who would defeat Peven and win his crown. She is the RebelliousPrincess protagonist of the second book, ''Heir of Sea and Fire''.
18	* RebelliousPrincess: In the second book, when she refuses to accept [[spoiler:that Morgon is dead]].
19	* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Played with, in that Raederle is officially the ''second'' most beautiful woman "in all the Three Portions of An."
20	[[/folder]]
21
22	[[folder:Deth]]
23	!Deth, a.k.a. Tirundeth, the High One's Harpist, [[spoiler:Yrth, Star-Maker, the Harpist of Lungold, Tir, the High One]]
24	The High One's harpist and Morgon's closest friend and mentor. He guides Morgon to Erlenstar Mountain. A riddle.
25	* TheBard: Naturally, although from a practical standpoint his role as a harpist is second to his role as the High One's messenger.
26	* BlowYouAway: [[spoiler:He won the war between the Earth-Masters by mastering the wind.]]
27	* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:He is actually the last of the Earth-Masters, or at least the last one who wasn't bound in the ocean.]]
28	* OmniscientMoralityLicense: He's the only one who knows what's ''really'' going on, and uses this to justify some pretty awful stuff.
29	* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As you can tell by the fact that more than half his titles nearly all his tropes are spoilered, pretty much anything about his real backstory and motivations is a massive spoiler.]]

69
70	[[folder:Lyra]]
71	!Lyraluthuin of Herun, a.k.a Lyra, the Captain of the Morgol's Guard
72	* ActionGirl: Like all members of the Morgol's Guard, which is an AmazonBrigade.
73	* LittleMissBadass: She's a fifteen-year-old girl who talks and acts a lot like a BrattyHalfpint, but she's a genuinely brave and skilled fighter.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:El]]
77	!Elrhiarhodan of Herun, a.k.a El, the Morgol of Herun

80	!!Osterland:
81
82	[[folder:Har]]
83	!Har of Osterland, a.k.a the King of Osterland, the wolf-king
84	* AnimalMotif: Associated with wolves, as his nickname implies. Subverted in that while he can become a wolf (or a number of other things) at will, his favourite shape seems to be a vesta (that is, [[TheMarvelousDeer a sort of deer]]), and when going to war he leads an army of vestas.
85	[[/folder]]

103	!Iff of the Unpronouncable Name
104	A wizard of Lungold, missing and presumed dead. He served the Morgol of Herun at one point.
105
106	* AlmightyJanitor: It turns out that he [[spoiler: never stopped serving the Morgol, but simply assumed a succession of humble identities at the Herun court. Most notably, the scholar who helped the current Morgol unlock Iff's spell books? Yeah, turns out that that was none other than Iff himself.]]
107	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Contrary to his title, his name apparently ''is'' pronouncable and known to some people, but it's very complicated to say (you have to sing it), and we're never told what it actually is.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	!Shape-changers:
111
112	[[folder:"Eriel"]]
113	!"Eriel Ymris", real name unknown
