Grazer Charachters Part 1
Dan-El Sunborn, Law-Ran Wicker-Horse and Dun-Cal Many-Mares
Dan-El Sunborn
|
 |
| Dan-El Sunborn is a Gold Bone Grazer
Warrior. He is the oldest twin son of the clan chieftain,
blessed at birth by the Shamans. In trying to impress
his aloof father, he often leads, bullies or seduces
others into following his foolhardy heroics. Dan-El has
fought in many raids, and has trophies to boast
of including the Ghost Shirt and Burning Crow Eye.
Dan-el is arrogant and is antagonistic towards non-Grazers.
Dan-el is small and strong and agile. He
has learned the riding secrets of the Sunset Riders.
Dan-El loves Law-Ran, but competes with him whenever
possible. |
Background
Dan-El and his entourage have been sent by his father the Chieftain
in early Growing Leaf (Sea) season to perform a number of ritual
tasks to prepare him for his role as Jardan in spring Foaling
ceremony. Jankaren has been sent to spiritually instruct him
and judge his successes. Up to now he is passing with flying
colours, but has risked the lives of his friends several times.
The last quest was to bring back a "Dark Man". Dan-El
has brought back a Black Rider, believing that the greater the
foe the stronger a chieftain he will be. He thinks he may be
able to manipulate ritual to become more powerful and has dreams
of usurping his father. |
People of Note
Davidall Moonchased – Your father and Chieftain of
the Goldbone clan. You are always seeking to impress him, but also
covet his power. Would never harm him, but instead you constantly
show off in front of him, performing acts of what you consider Jardani
bravery.
Law-ran – Your younger Brother, you love him but see
him as a threat – the two of you often argue, and you become
highly annoyed when Law-ran subdues your pride.
Duncal – A good servant, his wealth will be beneficial
one day. You continually look down of him.
Yu-Sima – You resent the bodyguard’s presence,
after all you don’t need a babysitter.
Nirik – A dangerous mad man, he followed you on your
quest and you initially saw it as blessing, now you are wondering
if it was a curse – you know he is sacred.
Jan-Karen – You secretly envy her magic. Her tests were
hard at first, but you can soften her with your charms. You made
her accept the Black Rider as a suitable focus.

Law-Ran Wicker-Horse
|
 |
| Law-Ran is youngest son of Davidall Moon-Chased,
a noble of the Goldbone clan and follower of Jardan.
Law-Ran is tall and handsome. He was gifted with
quick-wit and an angelic voice. Law-Ran hates
his brother’s foolish pride and does all he can to
curb it. As a chieftain’s son, he can command
other warriors and riders to do his bidding, but prefers
negotiation and diplomacy. Law-Ran dislikes
wanton killing, instead preferring to humiliate his foes.
Law-Ran is a gifted rider, blessed by Arandayla
with the power to talk to horses; he is also has the
ability to perceive the otherworld. |
Background
Law-ran sees himself as his brother’s morality – he
objected to the use of the Black Man and unlike his brother
does not seek to be a chieftain. He has an infatuation with
Jankaren – unknown to the rest of the clan for such a love
is Taboo among the Goldbone. Law-Ran believes diplomacy skills
will one day make him a great aid to the Feathered Horse Queen.
|
People of Note
Davidall – You love your father, but cannot live up
to his expectations as a warrior, you always seem to be upsetting
him with what he calls ‘Un-grazer ways’.
Dan-El – You love him as an elder brother, but hate
his foolish ways – you are aware that he is manipulating rituals
to gain more power. You dislike the attention he is giving to your
beloved Jankaren.Dun-Cal – A good friend and loyal follower,
you try to persuade him against his lust to be a warrior.
Yu-Sima – You know this man doesn’t like you, but
you have learned to turn his aggression against him using clever
words – he is supposed to be bodyguard, but feels more like
a threat.
Nirik- A man touched by tragedy, you have made it a personal
goal to help him find the answer to his question – or is that
questions to his answers – needless to say he is a contrary.
Jankaren – The first women other than your mother that
you have spent prolonged time with, you are slowly falling in love
– although you have not yet received response. You fear what
will happen if any in the clan discover your love of her for such
a love is taboo among your people.

Dun-Cal Many-Mares
|
 |
| Dun-Cal Many-Mares is trying to better himself;
he is a lowly Dastali rider, too young to be a warrior.
He is the loyal servant of Law-Ran and Dan-El.
He hunts for them, carries their messages and
attends to their needs. Ironically, Dan-Cal is rich
by Grazer standards, having inherited a small herd of
his own horses, when trolls killed his father. Dun-Cal hates
trolls and attacks them on sight. He has travelled
to the Smoking Ruins and gained a powerful spirit ally
to help his revenge. Duncal is small, fleet footed.
When hunting, he carries his father’s magical bow, Ghost-shot.
|
Background
He desires to be a warrior and feels his association with the
others will strengthen him. He knows they have a Black Rider,
but does not understand the significance of this. He is going
to brag to all his Dastali friends on return of all the glorious
things he has seen – e.g. shakers, monsters, Lunars, and
perhaps even Wintertop. |
People of Note
Dan-El – He is a mighty warrior, but very bossy. You
both admire and hate him, although you would never directly never
disobey him.
Law-ran – Surprisingly friendly for a noble, you favour
him but think he is a poor warrior.
Yu-Sima – He is the ideal man, a perfect personification
of Jardan.
Nirik – What happens to a warrior who does not follow
the right path?
Jankaren – A strange and intimidating women, capable
of strange feats.
