Ferris

Ferris of Sess Pogue, Lord of Umis Karat. Ferris' mother, Caila, was the sister of Lysia, King Bran's enchatress and magician; it is hard to say of whom Caila approved less, her sister or her daughter, who became a mercenary. At an early age Ferris was initiated into the mysteries ofHathhalla the Avenger , the Devouring Fire of the Sun, an ancient divinity with two major temples in the Highlands. The mercenary company she eventually came to command had many Hathhallic initiates and was commonly called the Lion Company. She was awarded the hold of Umis Karat by Artesia, and now leads 70 bannermen in the field; 20 exiles in her company stayed behind rather than return to the Middle Kingdoms.
