![]() Orrec and Gry are the heirs to Caspro and Barre. The Caspro gift is the worst and best of all: it is the gift of undoing: an insect, an animal, a place. And Brantor Ogge of Drummant has the gift of slow wasting. The Callems can move heavy things by word and gesture - even buildings, even hills. The Rodds can send a spellknife into a man's heart, or cut his throat, or maim as they please, if he's in sight. ![]() The women of Cordemant have the power of blinding, or making deaf, or taking away speech. The gifts are powers, running from father to son and from mother to daughter. It is only the gifts that keep a fragile peace. The people of the domains are like their land: harsh and fierce and prideful ever at war with each other, raiding cattle, capturing serfs, enlarging their holdings. They have grown up together in neighbouring domains, running half-wild across the Uplands. ![]() Orrec is the son of the Brantor of Caspromant Gry the daughter of the Brantors of Barre and Rodd. ![]()
