Oswald, born in 1126, is the older brother of King Roderick of Naroni and the current King of Dovia. He is the widower of Athalia of Sarona, younger sister of Medea. Oswald seems to share something of a rivalry with his younger brother and still bears a grudge over his drunken slandering.

In 1164, he remarried, to Lady Meraleene of Felonis (formerly Meraleene of Valcria).

Alina (1135-1167) was the tenth child and fifth daughter of Searle, Count of Valcria. She was promised to Rudolphus of Luperia at a young age, and much of her childhood revolved around being prepared for her life with him and her role as a future duchess. Her betrothed's apparent disinterest, however, was always a source of frustration for her in her younger years, and she found some refuge in his half-brother, Severin, with whom she fell in love.

On the eve of her wedding to Rudolphus in November of 1154, Alina eloped with Severin, prompting a tremendous scandal that shook Dovia to the point of producing a daughter kingdom. Rudolphus was promptly betrothed to Eudocia of Bandera, and at his bachelor party, Prince Roderick of Dovia drunkenly slandered against his father and brother, resulting in his banishment from the kingdom.

In March of 1155, after a few months of traveling through Dovia and the surrounding area, Alina and Severin took up lodgings in the castle at Veldorashire in Naroni, hoping to eventually gain lordship over the shire. This was acquired in September of 1155, a month before the birth of their eldest daughter Rahileine.

Following her baby's birth, Alina began to feel a consuming emptiness. At first, she figured it was only a temporary feeling, but when it did not go away, she began to worry. She decided that the only way to rid herself of the feeling was to get pregnant again, so her second baby was conceived in February of 1156, only four months after the first had been born.

Though the sensation disappeared as her pregnancy progressed, it returned shortly after her son Jadin's birth in November of 1156. This, coupled with seeing her pregnant sisters Cladelia and Renata at the wedding of her niece Lileina and Earl Cambrin of Sarona, prompted her desire to have a third child. The baby was conceived shortly after Alina caught Dalston and Geneva having sex.

Alina gave birth to a son, Searle, in September of 1157, and then a daughter, Viridis, in August of 1158. Lonriad was born in July of 1159, Riona in June of 1160, and Laveria in May of 1161. Each time, that ominous feeling of futility and purposelessness came with the birth.

Alina died in 1167 after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.

Though generally friendly and personable, Alina had some difficulty discussing her problems with other people--even her husband. As a result, she felt somewhat isolated. Meanwhile, she was an intelligent woman, and did not particularly care what other people thought of her.

"Men. I speak with my mouth, and you promptly reply with your testicles."
--to Severin, from "In Which Alina Requests a Bedtime Story" (February 1156)

Alina: Perhaps, Medea, he thinks that an extra bit of your energy will suffice in the place of your love.
--from "In Which Celina Keeps Smiling" (May 1156)
Laralita: So, Alina, I hear you had a son in November?
Alina: I did. His name is Jadin, for Viridis's father.
Laralita: Lovely. It's such a weight off your chest, isn't it? Now, you never have to bother sleeping with your husband again.
Alina: Are you kidding? I jumped Severin five minutes after the midwife cut the cord! It was the best sex we ever had.
--from "In Which Alina's Niece Is Given a Choice" (January 1157)
Severin (disheartened at the fact that Alina didn't send Lonriad away): Please, Alina, just let me decide--
Alina: Oh, you can decide all right. Are you sleeping in one of the guest bedrooms? Or on the couch? It's your decision.
--from "In Which Severin's Paradise Is Lost" (February 1158)

Laralita (distraught): Oh, it's horrible! Alina... I'm a twenty-two-year-old widow!

Ten Facts:

1. Though he will never admit it, Severin finds Laralita very attractive... physically. Mentally, he's thoroughly repulsed by her, so there's no danger of anything happening on that front.

2. Severin was born left-handed, but his father made him use his right hand as a child and the behavior stuck. He still finds his left hand stronger, though.

3. Privately, inspirational stories bore him.

4. Like most of the men in his family, Severin doesn't have a "type" when it comes to women. For a long-term relationship, he's more inclined to look for someone he finds intelligent, agreeable, and interesting; for random sexual encounters, he's not at all picky.

5. In spite of being something of a closet sex addict, he has so far managed to stay faithful to both of his wives.

6. Severin is in love with love. In his younger days, he once stalled an arranged wedding so that the bride could run off with her lover instead. He also once helped a couple of gay novice monks flee from a Dovian monastery.

7. Neither of his parents named him; his stepmother did. His mother also has another name for him, but refuses to tell him what it is.

8. He sometimes lies awake at night wondering how many descendants he must have by this point.

9. Severin's greatest fear is that his sons will end up like him. He keeps seeing signs and he finds that troubling.

10. On significant dates regarding Alina--her birthday, her death day, their anniversary--Severin finds himself reflecting on all those days she spent between pregnancies, hiding her misery. To this day, he wonders if he could have done something differently.


Notable Quotes:

Alina: I'm feeling a little restless; I suspect I'll have trouble sleeping tonight anyway.
Severin: Well, how about that? I'm feeling rather restless myself; maybe we should be restless together.
--from "In Which Alina Requests a Bedtime Story" (February 1156)

Alina: You men truly do believe the earth revolves around sex, don't you?
Severin: On the contrary, my love, the earth does not revolve around sex; it revolves because of sex.
--from "In Which Alina Requests a Bedtime Story" (February 1156)

"Well, wouldn't you know it? When I was a lonely bachelor, I never had any unannounced visitors of the feminine persuasion whatsoever, but now that I'm a happily married man, I'm finding young, beautiful women everywhere. How's that for irony?"
--upon finding Nora in his study, from "In Which Nora Scales Mount Olympus" (December 1156)

"Roderick, many a man in history has made the grave mistake of underestimating a woman. Don't become one of them."
--upon hearing Roderick's presumption of Geneva's death, from "In Which Roderick Gives the News" (February 1158)

Florian: If I didn't think [Norwan] would harm either [Thetis or her baby], I'd hope the baby's a girl.
Severin: I hope this isn't too bold of me, Florian, but if I didn't think he would harm either of them, I'd hope the baby is yours.
--from "In Which Severin Finds an Exception" (July 1158)

Laralita: Severin! My brother! I haven't seen you in years! It's been so dreadfully long!
Severin: Not nearly long enough.
--from "In Which Alina Gives the Worst Birthday Present Ever" (October 1158)
"Aren't you a little too pregnant to be moving furniture?"
--to Laralita, from "In Which Severin Is Pushed to His Breaking Point" (December 1158)"Practicing pyrokinesis? If so, I hear it's easier while snuggled up to one's husband."
--upon finding Alina staring at an empty fireplace, from "In Which Severin Finds the Damage Done" (October 1160)

Ten Facts:

1. Octavius has a strong dislike of cats; however, Holladrin loved them, so he pretends to like them.

2. He doesn't appreciate food very much. He has an exceptionally strong sense of taste and most flavors overwhelm him.

3. He always wanted a little sister--but having had eight children already, his parents weren't too keen on the idea.

4. Octavius makes a point to be civil in most instances; however, he is prone to shockingly mean thoughts.

5. He has a great singing voice, but he doesn't feel comfortable singing in public. He and Holladrin used to indulge in the occasional duet when they were alone, though, particularly when they'd both had something to drink.

6. Following Medea's death, Octavius has developed an unease regarding windows. He tries to avoid looking through them whenever possible.

7. He always did secretly fear that one of the twins might have inherited Medea's illness. He sees Sparron's anxious, paranoid behavior and it troubles him.

8. Octavius has yet to figure out exactly what Holladrin saw in him--not that he's complaining.

9. He and Holladrin both gravitated toward the same side of the bed. He let her have it and insisted that he liked the other side, but they usually woke up with a very uneven distribution of space.

10. He is not planning on arranging marriages for his younger children, nor does he plan on doing so for Sparron or Jeda should something happen either Camaline or Ietrin. To this day, he regrets not putting his foot down when Medea wanted to promise the twins away.


Notable Quotes:

"He has his mother's eyes. I wonder if he will grow to have her beard as well."

Holladrin: It's difficult sometimes--moving on.
Octavius: It is, but in the end, I suppose that's what life is, dear Holladrin--moving on.
--from "In Which Octavius Learns What Life Is" (August 1160)

Rudolphus (after informing Octavius of Athalia's death): It's always the good ones, isn't it? Those who deserve nothing but pure happiness meet such early ends, while the most horrible of us all reach a creaking old age.
Octavius: I should hope that you are wrong. I would not wish to linger on while all those I love die before my eyes.

Dalston (1130-1165), was the younger son of Abrich, the late Lord Beretrin. As a spare son, Dalston had a predominantly carefree childhood, and was something of a playboy in his younger years. The only great tragedy of his youth was the sudden death of his mother in a freak accident in 1144, which he and his brother Arkon both witnessed.

In 1154, Dalston was given the hand of Celina Ysettra, niece and ward of King Farilon of Dovia, in exchange for his accompaniment of Prince Roderick into exile. They married in November of that year, shortly before departing, and were named Duke and Duchess of Armion. For the first year of their marriage, Dalston and Celina lived in silent awe of each other, sharing a shy sort of affection as each deemed themselves somewhat unworthy of the other. This was resolved following the birth of their eldest, Lornian, in September of 1155, when they finally professed their love for one another.

While Celina was pregnant with their second child in early 1157, Dalston and the other nobles journeyed to Dovia for the wedding of Cambrin, Earl of Sarona and Lileina of Hoprine. It was during this occasion that Dalston, in a moment of insecurity, slept with Queen Geneva, wife of King Roderick. They were seen by Lady Alina of Veldora, and her husband Severin sent word of Dalston's infidelity to Celina. She took the news to mean that Dalston had fallen out of love with her, and their marriage became rather cold until some time after the birth of their daughter, Xetrica, when Dalston made a point to rekindle the relationship.

Geneva gave birth to a daughter, Eilyssa, in October of 1157. Dalston and Celina had feared this child to be Dalston's, but the girl was actually the daughter of Aldhein, Roderick's steward. Aldhein was dismissed as soon as Roderick could find a suitable replacement, which worried him as he feared he could not support himself and Eilyssa without a well-paying job. Celina then took Eilyssa as a ward and offered Aldhein a job as Dalston's steward.

Dalston and Celina had a second son, Abrich, in July of 1160, and a second daughter, Wondrona, in August of 1161. A third son, Farilon, was born in April of 1165.

Dalston died in October 1165 after a prolonged separation of his soul and body, which was caused by Deian in a gamble that would determine the continuation of the Naron assault on the kingdom.
