Queen Thalvaine is a tranquil and serene figure, deeply attuned to the cycles of life and death. She sees death not as something to be feared but as a natural part of existence. She is fascinated by how mortals grapple with their inevitable end, often finding herself meditating on the fleeting nature of life and the beauty that exists in acceptance. Her court is not one that causes death but rather ushers it along, aiding in the transition from life to death. This role often places her at odds with the more vibrant, life-affirming courts, but she views her work as necessary to preserve balance.

While her demeanor is usually soft, her harshness emerges when she is betrayed or wronged. In those moments, she becomes unyielding, embodying the cold and unforgiving nature of winter. Her justice is as final as the turning of the seasons, and she shows no mercy for those who cross her.

Princess Aeryn is both a staunch defender of the Eternal Edict’s principles and a rare voice of compassion within her court. As "Silver Vow," she has pledged herself to upholding the law but is deeply troubled by her court’s growing ruthlessness. Unlike her brother, Aeryn values the balance between fey and mortal realms and fears the consequences of provoking humanity. Her charm and empathy make her a quiet but powerful influence in the looming political struggle.

Finnian is a wandering fey, part of the same race as Mirelda, though his interests lie far from commerce or trading. A consummate storyteller, he has spent centuries collecting and recounting tales from across the fey and mortal realms. Politics hold no sway over him; he lives for stories alone, each new encounter and experience adding to the vast tapestry of his life's work. He attends the ball not to sway votes or form alliances, but to share the stories he has gathered, and perhaps collect a few new ones. Long-lived and charming, Finnian drifts from conversation to conversation, his only desire to leave with fresh tales of intrigue, romance, and adventure. 

Odran is a newly immortal fey who weaves magic through the games he orchestrates. With an infectious enthusiasm, he runs a gaming table at events, inviting guests to partake in the joy of friendly competition and playful camaraderie. As his magic grows through the bonds formed during these games, Odran fosters new friendships and stories, all while bringing a sense of whimsy and excitement to those around him. Though he delights in fun and connection, there’s a deep wisdom to his actions, hinting at a greater purpose behind the games he sets in motion.

Prince Lysander is a stark contrast to the brutal and chaotic nature of his court. Unlike his sister and most of the Voidbound, he harbors a sweet, optimistic soul, often yearning for something more peaceful and structured. Though his court thrives on impulsivity and violence, Lysander has always felt out of place. He has secretly learned the art of ballroom dancing, captivated by its graceful movements and precise order—everything his court despises. At the ball, Lysander hopes to blend in with more like-minded fey from other courts, relishing the chance to express himself in ways his own people would never understand. His one fear is that Queen Nythra will notice his indulgence in such "weak" behavior.

Lady Valeria, "the Stalwart Blade," is Prince Aelion’s personal guard and an unmatched warrior in the Court of Eternal Edict. Her steadfastness and unwavering resolve make her the perfect protector for Aelion, and she carries out her duties with cold precision. Valeria is not just a bodyguard but a symbol of the court’s militaristic enforcement of law and order, known for her skill in combat and her refusal to let personal feelings cloud her judgment. Despite this, she harbors a deep sense of loyalty to Aelion and is willing to follow him into even the most dangerous situations, ready to defend him with her life.
