Kier, a strange warrior from the tribes of the harsh north. He fights with his war hammer and the aid of his war hounds Une and Ine. Kier came to serve under Seik’s rule after an omen speaks of his need to serve the Black King and comes to fall in love with Gadrid, the king’s foster brother and wyvern master.

Kier is a quiet man, a trainer of splendid war hounds, a tracker and teller of stories through song and dance.
