Vron, born in 1134, is the younger son of Deian and Ylwa. He and the rest of his family live in the forests of Naroni. Their diet is mainly comprised of human flesh, though it has been implied that their kind does occasionally engage in cannibalism. He fathered a pair of hybrids during his younger, more reckless days. He also killed Norwan Ciramel. He recently had a vision telling him that he and his race could not leave Naroni unless the Dovians left first, which could potentially lead to a genocide. He seems to be the more headstrong and violent of the two brothers.

All appearances

Laralita, born in 1133, is the current Queen of Naroni. She is one of the older sisters of Alina of Veldora, and the former Countess of Bandera.

Laralita arrived in Naroni in October of 1158, shortly after the death of her husband, Karlspan. She invited herself to stay at Severin and Alina's castle, declaring that she would not leave until after she had born her husband's posthumous child--and possibly not even then. This frustrated both her sister and brother-in-law to no end; they eventually conspired to set her up with the supposedly widowered King Roderick. Their scheming was a success, as Roderick and Laralita fell in love at first sight and agreed to marry following the birth of Laralita's baby.

Laralita and Roderick have since had a daughter, Princess Riona of Naroni, born in 1161.
