Gerrard captains the Weatherlight to its mission to Volath's stronghold in the shadow plane of Rath. Once a master of arms in Benalia, Gerrard is heir to the Legacy, a collection of artifacts that has the power to stop the collective might of the evincars. The impetuos Gerrard has already abandoned his destiny once before by leaving the ship, but now that his friend and mentor Sisay has been abducted, he's agreed to lead the crew on a rescue mission. Gerrard is 26 years old, and his reflexes and athletic build are supplemented by advanced combat training. His charisma and sharp wit make him a natural leader, but his impulsive streak make some of the crew wary of his command.
Hanna, the 25-year-old resident artificer and Weather light navigator, is responsible for advising the captain on the ship's nature and its most valuable cargo, the Legacy. Educated in artifact studies at the legendary Arigivian University, Hanna is also a capable commander, respected by the crew for her quick-witted initiative and inventiveness. Some years ago she and Gerrard were briefly lovers, but since his return to the ship, the pair have been decidedly formal. When not holding command, Hanna is usually quiet and calm, with a natural shyness that some misake for coldness. Her commitment to the Legacy is as great as her love of the Weatherlight.
The cat warrior Mirri was abandoned by her kind during her youth. Now as an adult, she struggles to find a secure place in the world, which she hopes to find in the companionship of her best friend Gerrard. Mirri is an excellent fighter, she is powerful, dexterous, and quick, but her impetousity and overconfidence have landed her in some dangerous situations. She relies more on her claws and great agility than on her sword. On the Weatherlight, she serves as Gerrard's lieutenant, which causes friction between her and the official first mate, Tahngarth. In all the years since they trained under the maro-sorcerer Multani, Mirri has never let Gerrard down.
Heroes
Tahngarth, a young Talruum minotaur, is a towering mass of strength and, it must be admitted, vanity. Gruff and impatient, he is the WEatherlight's first mate under Sisay, a position he shared with Gerrard for a time. Now Gerrard has returned as the ship's captain, and Tahngarth serves his new commander in the same capacity, but doubts whether the roguish human has either the commitment or the skill to lead the crew. Nevertheless, Tahngarth is an excellent second in command, and is respected as the crew's armsmaster. He is formidable in combat, powerful and extermely fast given his massive size.
