The Wall

The Wall Makers

The Royal Bloodline

...she saw something human in shape, taller than her, and thin, almost starved. It had nolegs, the torso and head balanced upon a column of twisting, whirling force.

The Wall itself looked normal enough, past the wasteland of wire and trenches. Just like anyother medieval remnant. It was stone and old, about forty feet high and crenellated. Nothingremarkable, until the realization set in that it was in a perfect state of preservation. And forthose with the sight, the very stones crawled with Charter Marks marks in constant motion,twisting and turning, sliding and rearranging themselves under a skin of stone.

The Wallmakers had disappeared millennia ago, putting themselves into the creation of the

Wall and the Great Charter Stones. Quite literally as far as Sam knew... For the Wallmakersweren't exactly dead, Sam thought, remembering the Great Charter Stones and the Wall.They were more transformed or transfigured.

The Clayr

Most of the Clayr had brown skin that quickly tanned to deep chestnut out on the glacierslopes, as well as bright blonde hair and light eyes.

The Royal Bloodline is one of the three Charter bloodlines and contains the Charter fromDyrim. The symbol of the Royal line is a golden tower, and the colour is red.-http://oldkingdomwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_line

The Abhorsen

...a tunic of doeskin and breeches of supple leather, reinforced with some sort of hard,segmented plates at thighs, knees and shins... Two of them pushed her arms in to a longarmoured coat that buckled up at the sides... a pair of hobnailed boots. The coat... was aslong as a hauberk, with split skirts coming down to her knees and sleeves swallow tailed ather wrists... made entirely of tiny overlapping plates, much like fish scales. The weren't

metal... but some sort of ceramic, or stone... a blue and silver striped turban... a clothwrapped helmet made from the same material as the armour. ...a deep blue surcoat, dustedwith embroidered silver keys... Last of all came sword-belt and bell-bandolier.

Ancelstierre

Ancelstierre is a country in the Old Kingdom series that borders on the Old Kingdom at theNorth. Ancelstierre's speech patterns, technology and political system share some similaritieswith those of early 20th Century Britain. The capital of Ancelstierre is Corvere. Althoughphysically connected to the Old Kingdom by the Wall, Ancelstierre is in a different plane ofexistence. Magic does not work in Ancelstierre except very near the Wall, just as

Ancelstierran technology breaks down close to the Old Kingdom, and the seasons and"movement" of the constellations do not align on the two sides of the Wall.-http://oldkingdomwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Ancelstierre

Corolini

Corolini is a populist rabble-rouser... this politician who had risen to prominence since thebeginning of the Southern War... a dangerous egotist who would do anything to gain power.

The leather bandolier she drew out next was an old brown belt, a hand's-breadth wide...Seven tubular leather pouches hung from it, starting with on the size of a small pill bottle;growing larger, till the seventh was almost the size of a jar. The bandolier was designed to beworn across the chest, with the pouches hanging down.

Mordicant: It was manlike, more than man-high, and flames ran like burning oil on waterwhere it trod... its body of bog-clay and human blood molded and infused with Free Magic bya necromancer, and a Dead spirit placed inside it as a guiding force.Shadow Hand: Anintensely dark shape stood there, as if someone had cut a man-shaped figure out of the night,carefully choosing a piece devoid of stars.Greater Dead: He had no shape now, but therewere semi-human features in the great ink splash of his presence. Eyes of white fire, and ayawning mouth that was lined with flickering coals of a red as dark as drying blood.

Mogget...the white cat... twitched and turned its head ever so slightly to look at her, revealing brightgreen eyes... she saw the collar around its neck and the tiny bell that hung there. The collarwas only red leather, but the Charter-spell on it was the strongest, most enduring, bindingspell that Sabriel had ever seen... and the bell was a miniature Saraneth. The cat was no cat,but a Free Magic creature of ancient power.

Necromancer

...a suit of leather armour that covered him from ankle to wrist, reinforced with plates of red-enameled metal at his neck and every joint. He carried a naked sword in his left hand... Hisright hand rested on a leather bandolier worn diagonally across his chest. Seven poucheshung from the bandolier, the smallest no larger than a pill box, the largest as big as hisclenched fist. Wooden handles hung downwards out of the pouches. Black ebony handles,
