Content

Spoiler warning: this list assumes that you have read through all the chapters of the first book, as the mere categorization of some characters could serve as a spoiler.

Though some of these lists are alphabetized, I imagine that most people are checking the list via Ctrl+F? Accordingly, I organized it via category in case people are struggling to remember a name. I can alter this if readers feel strongly, as this is meant to be useful for people. I also, by semi-popular request, added a pronunciation guide to the characters.

Loopers

Suria Northbrook (SUH-ree-ah) - The protagonist, a young woman from the Westlakes region, attending Darkmoon University on scholarship.

Xuhriha Alhras (zhu-REE-ha) - A young woman from the Court of Vedraz and Suria's friend. Hiding her status from the others, both as a necromancer and a looper.

Wynchard Odinel (WIN-chard)- One of the older and stronger loopers, an organizing force for the looper meetings and the system of cross-time favors.

Adwyrma (ad-WURM-uh) - Another powerful looper; reserved and hostile.

Jeilin Pavnn (JAY-lin) - Looper from Junn; experimenting with random variables within the loops.

Qanti (chan-TEE) - Looper from Nau Qin Nau; investigating soul talisman magic to carry power between loops.

Gerial Negnan (jer-EE-all) - Local Taedric looper; nobleman primarily interested in using the loop for debauchery.

The Akrashic Faction - A group of loopers from the Akrashic Union who work as a group. Includes Herriot, Jesper, Gannet, and others.

The Junnite Faction - A group of loopers from the Republic of Junn with unclear motivations. Includes Misbalf, Hirthi, and others.

The Endelythan Faction - Three loopers from Endelyth who have banded together to exploit the local underworld. Their names are Grynore, Qyresh, and Phisvene.

Dead Loopers

Tollvard Rhamsolk - Throne of Transmutation, apparently a living statue.

Comments

Writ acco

Thank you! Right on time for my re-read!

ellelle

Ooooo I’ve been pronouncing Adwyrma with the D, lol thank you

Joana

Your forgo to write about our favorite Pink Necromancer :(. And there's no pronunciation after the looper section. But regardless, thank you for the refresher!

Keid

Tbh I had assumed that Wynchard was his surname. He just feels like one of those people that is referred to by their last name even by their peers.

sarahlin

I tapped out on pronunciations, but missing Xuhriha is just an oversight, sorry!

sarahlin

My mistake, this was a typo!

ellelle

lmaooooooo I just thought it was some esoteric Welsh-like spelling or something lol

Joana

Oh, there's a d, thank god

It's so funny you did this, I just started reading a chapter a night aloud to my wife, and I realized that I had been calling Darm Kael (my emphasis) "Darkmael" in my head for the past year. I also renamed Suria to Sarah because it is easy to remember you, and every other time I would say her name Siri would light up. (Shift-Enter :-) )I know pronunciations are tiring, but can you give me Maut-mai and Rije? In my head I usually speed read so I think I call them Mow-me and Reej, but would be curious to know the intent. Out loud I have been doing Molly and Ryan since she is not a fantasy reader but I just really like the story. We just got to Chapter 3 so I also have Leonard and Shannon, but we know what is going to happen with Leonard...

LOL I love how brain pronunciations get messed up when the author tells you how they're supposed to be... and our brain is like, "that's soooo... much harder to think..."

Tanna

I've been pronouncing Rije as Ree-ye

Phil Norton

I’m always condensing syllables in my head especially for primary characters, then years later I may reread via Audible and I am wayyyy off.

PatienceHoney

@Tanna No matter what the internal letters are he has been Rah-jee in my mind...
