Meet The Cast (part 2)

Here are more members of the Fallen trilogy:

Gregor Abraxus – The hunter, younger brother of Duram Abraxus. Like his brother, he seeks the ultimate hunt, and he became a paladin in part because he knows evil is drawn to the paladin’s light, like a moth to a flame. Gregor has earned the name Dragon Reaver among the evil dragons, and they know to fear him even as they hate him. It is a matter of time before the ultimate hunt begins, but who will be hunting whom?

Dartan Hammerhand – The son of a dwarven thief and her human lover, Dartan stands head and shoulders above his compatriots, standing every bit of 7 feet, and a muscular 350lbs. Having saved the mayor’s daughter as a youth, he was rewarded by the granting of his greatest desire, to be a knight like his idol Teramus Kingblade. Dartan was apprenticed to a paladin, and learned all he could from him. This training also served to temper the great rage that burns within him. The source of that rage is unknown, but woe be to any who provokes the quiet giant.

Loric Qivael – Loric is a spire elf warrior and master of the Twirling Leaves technique, a specialized sword style using double bladed swords. He comes from a long line of elven paladins, every one of them a hero among their people. Loric is older than his companions, by three centuries. Thus he tends to play the role of advisor to his short tempered friends. Still, he seeks glory worthy of the Qivael name, so his advice may have ulterior motives.

And here’s a sneak peak at the villain of the series:

Y’Thraak – Once undisputed ruler of the Pit, he invaded the mortal realm with all the demons and horrors of the Pit under his command and tried to conquer it all. All the mortal races: elves, dwarves, gnomes and humans, as well as the good dragons fought back with powerful magic. Still it was not enough, it was only when the gods themselves intervened to save their worshippers did the tide finally change. In the end, Y’Thraak was defeated, sent back to the bottom of the Pit. Weakened, his vassals, demon lords of immense power attacked him and nearly destroyed him, sending him fleeing deeper into the Pit, where he sealed off. Y’Thraak has stewed in his prison for millennia. When he breaks free from his prison, he begins to enact a plan for his ultimate revenge. His bloodlust will not be sated even when mortal races, the dragons, and the demons that betrayed him lie broken at his cloven feet. His burning eyes look higher.
