Vanya

"You cannot grow unless you put down roots" was the motto of Vanya's great-grandmother, who convinced the Samula Tribe to give up their nomadic life over three hundred years ago. After his wild ways caused his mother to expel him from the tribe, Vanya became a mercenary fighting for the highest bidder in the conflict between the Gudanna Dominion and Durani Empire.

Vanya is the spokesman and sometime-leader of a band of mercenaries called The Untamed. He rides a Fen Lord, and is prominent in the stories:
