Evander
Evander is, what the west folk call, a guardian.  When the world was created Evander and some others got left behind and weren't born into the world of men.  Evander created a beautiful country of gardens and endless spring for his people somewhere in the Astral plane.  

 Evander, a long time ago, helped his friend Cadwallon the Druid by taking his countrymen through the mother of all roads (Evander's lands) to Deverry.  While searching for the right place to settle, they slaughtered the Horsekin, thus driving them along the coast.  Here the Horsekin found the elves and there magnificent cities.  They were destroyed by the Horsekin in a time it's descendants call the Great Burning.  These survivors, mostly farmers, escaped to the westlands, and never again have they lived in cities.

Evander loved the elven cities, modelling his world on them and has always hated the Horsekin for destroying the only thing he has ever loved.

Aderyn
Aderyn was Nevyn's first apprentice in 696.  He was the son of Gweran (Blaen) and Lyssa (Brangwen) and is the soul of the unborn child that Brangwen killed when she killed herself.  Aderyn travels to the westland, and for the first time the two cultures can share their dweomer.  He marries Dallandra, an elven dweomer woman, and they have a son.  Aderyn takes him as an apprentice, but he goes over to the dark dweomer and Aderyn must be the one to hunt him down.  

When Aderyn dies, he isn't reborn just yet, but ends up as the old man with the apple in Evander's land.  Over the years that he appears there, he is always trying to help Evander be reborn.

Dallandra
Dallandra is an elven dweomer woman who marries Aderyn. However she falls in love with Evander, and goes off to his country.  Here time flows differently, so that in the small time she thinks she has been gone she has technically lived for something like 400 years.  She works all these years to try and help Evander and his people be reborn,  finally convincing his daughter Ellesrio and then makes sure she is delivered safely into the world.

The last that was heard, he was in Haen Marn, a mysterious city that never is in the same place twice.

Ebany began studying the dweomer, but left before the completion of his apprenticeship.  He spent a great deal of his years as a travelling magician, using the dweomer to preform magnificent tricks and illusions all over the known world.
