Other characters: Halt( Halt O’Carrick is originally from Clonmel, one of the kingdoms in the series, and was the rightful heir to its throne. However, disgusted by the corruption and deceit of the royal court, particularly his brother Ferris's manipulative behaviour, Halt abandoned his birthright. He fled to the Kingdom of Araluen, where he joined the Rangers, an elite group of highly trained operatives who work in the shadows to protect the kingdom and its people. Halt is stoic, gruff, and often sarcastic, but beneath his tough exterior, he is deeply compassionate and fiercely loyal to his friends and ideals. He has a strong moral code, values honour and justice, and despises dishonesty and tyranny. Though he often comes across as stern, he has a dry sense of humour and a deep sense of care, particularly for his apprentice, Will, whom he treats like a son. ) The Outsiders Cult ( The Outsiders are a fanatical and dangerous cult that seeks to overthrow established kingdoms and rulers in order to replace them with their own beliefs and order. Their leader is the mysterious Sargasso, a charismatic and manipulative figure who recruits followers with promises of power and purpose. The cult’s members believe that they are the true inheritors of the world and that the existing monarchies and political structures are corrupt and must be destroyed. Their origin is shrouded in secrecy, but they are known for being highly organised and for operating in the shadows, infiltrating various regions under the guise of harmless travellers or religious pilgrims. The Outsiders believe in the concept of “a new world order”, where their leader, Sargasso, would rise to power. They reject traditional religions, governance, and societal norms, instead worshipping their own set of beliefs which are often shrouded in mystery. They are willing to use any means, including violence, manipulation, and subversion, to achieve their goal of societal upheaval. The Outsiders are particularly dangerous because they don’t just operate as an isolated group—they are able to infiltrate existing political and religious structures, manipulating individuals in positions of power to further their cause. Their ultimate goal is to destroy the kingdom of Araluen and other established powers, creating a new, brutal regime under their control. The cult is led by Sargasso, a cunning and manipulative figure who uses his charisma to sway followers and bend them to his will. He presents himself as a saviour, someone who will lead his followers to greatness and freedom from the “oppressive” systems of the world. However, his true intentions are far more self-serving, and he uses fear and loyalty to maintain control over his followers. The Outsiders also have regional leaders, known as high-ranking cult members, who are tasked with overseeing operations in various regions. These individuals are just as ruthless as Sargasso, willing to carry out his orders without question, even if it involves cruelty or treachery.)
