The Legendsong Saga encompasses the novels Darkfall and Darksong written by Australian author Isobelle Carmody, which centre on the adventures of Glynn and Ember Flanders in a parallel universe.
Shadowman a Robin Hood type figure, working for Darkfall and against any followers of the Draaka cult.
Described as a "tiny misty smudge" (p. 207) Vespi "... shaped like the head of a sickle", and closest island to Ramidan.
An incredibly strong character, able to look after herself alone, in a foreign world (whose people luckily enough speak her language) - she listens carefully to conversations around her.
The best student of the karate instructor, Wind, a young but wise Chinese man, Glynn has exceptional skill in tackling much stronger or experienced attackers.
Solen The Acanthan windwalker who dives into the water to save Glynn, as he is instructed from a dream.
He confuses Glynn, first falling into comfort around her, before becoming somewhat distant from her, and speaking dismissively of her at the wing hall.
It is only at the end that Glynn discovers Solen is an agent of the Shadowman, acting the drunken scoundrel in order to persuade his Draaka-following homeland that he is not a threat.
Nema (the mother of Acanthan chieftain Jurass) admits disappointment due to Solen's shameful reputation.
In addition, he is also very trustworthy - having the unconditional trust of Alene, Feyt and Tareed - clearly cleaving to Darkfall like his mother.
Holds an obvious grudge against Alene for choosing Darkfall over him, however he is fascinated with Ember, and especially grateful to her for saving his life.
Her actions are always out of self-interest; she is manipulative, sly and hateful to her enemies, but to those she wishes to keep on side, she is all charm, much like the Draaka during her speeches.
Kalide The sadistic younger son of Coralyn, who she wishes to place on the throne as Holder, since she can control him easily.
Asa Court emissary Unys Coralyn's stepdaughter, whom she hopes to marry Kerd in order to ensure ties with Vespi.
Draaka Leader of a cult growing in popularity due to its radical ideas but who actually worship the Chaos Spirit and commits animal and human sacrifices.
She manages to sound perfectly delightful, though in private she is scheming and though not quite as self-involved as Coralyn, her devotion to her master, Chaos, is her motive for everything she does.
Her actions are self-motivated, however, for she disobeys her mistress' desires in withholding Glynn's drugs in order to experiment with the feinna-link.
Argon A white cloak of Eron isle, with the ability to weave (rare in men, except strangers), although in his conversation with Solen in the beginning of the book, he reveals his bitterness towards Darkfall.
He was allowed to stay on Darkfall with her until the age of ten - the only man (of Keltor) to ever walk the isle.
His apparent allowance for a haven on Fomhika and sending his soulweaver, Alandria, back to Darkfall, suggests something a little more, although this is hard to believe considering the position of his wife, daughter and all his sons but Gedron (assuming Torrid holds the same views as his other brothers).
He is very much driven by his anger and frustration: "Gedron thumped at the door again, a dark flush rising up the back of his neck."
(p. 439 Darkfall) Of course, this could also be seen as a sort of embarrassment on Gedron's part that the innkeeper won't answer the door for his esteemed guest.
Torrid The fourth brother of Poverin's sons, however he does not have much of a role at all, only making an appearance with his family at the welcoming of the Draaka.
Rilka The only daughter of Poverin and Maeve, she possesses the same allegiance as her mother and leaves with her after a debate with the Draaka.
Kerd Son of the Vespian Chieftain, a very kind, compassionate character who truly loves Unys, despite her obvious rejections.
Wind Chung Ming Glynn's martial arts instructor who moved into the town of Quarry after inheriting a large sum of money.
