• Enoch (aka Zarrys II): He is the 17-year-old protagonist of the book. He is one of three elves who remain after the slaughters of the great war. He was raised separately from the other survivors until he was twelve. On his left shoulder, he carries a birthmark shaped like a three-pointed crown with a crescent over top. His hard early life has rendered him emotionally conflicted, lonely, often sarcastic, impulsive, and sometimes irritable, prone to solitude and deep contemplation. These aspects of character, he discovers, he must change in order to become what he was born to be.
• Naomi (aka Naminé): At 16 years old, she is the youngest of the three surviving elves. She was raised side-by-side with Sariah until Enoch was brought into their company. She is a gentle, kindly girl with eyes that reveal her every emotion. She is short - just over five feet tall. She is joyful and happy, and easily given to dancing and laughter. She and Enoch are very fond of one another.
• Sariah (aka Kirah): At age 18, Sariah is the eldest of the three. She is serious and straightforward. She is a leader by nature: independent, strong-willed, and intelligent. She is nearly six feet tall - just shorter than Enoch. As the eldest, she assumed a type of parenting role in the group, and she knows more than she ever seems to tell.
• Fallon: A soldier in the armies of Tolucan, Fallon is 18 years old. He is in rebellion against King Tolucan. He helps Enoch rescue Sariah and then joins with the group.
• King Tolucan: Monarch of the "Human Kingdom," he took the initiative to betray the treaties between the humans and the elves, and then he destroyed the entire race. By mistake, three were left alive and he is searching for them now so that he can destroy their race entirely.
• General Prozon: He is the head of the King's Garrison and the brother of King Tolucan.
• Axsem (aka Head General, the Shadow Rider, the elf): The unknown surviving elf who has taken to exile high in the mountains to await the three when they have come of age. He is tall man - about six and a half feet tall - with black hair. He is strong, but he carries a staff and favors a limp in his left leg. He was best friends with King Zarrys I, and served as the king's bodyguard and commander-in-chief.
• Rokai: He is a black dragon with piercing eyes like golden fire. He is about 23 feet long from snout to tail. He is long and lean, yet very muscular. He speaks with a deep, dignified voice.
• Brazor: He is a white dragon with silver eyes and a silver tongue. He is Rokai's twin after having hatched from the same egg. His length is just shorter than Rokai's, and his body is more stocky and thickly muscular. His voice is deep and stern.
• Hailos: He is a great, golden wardragon with green eyes. He is also Axsem's companion. He is double the size of the other dragons, measuring about 30 feet in length. He and Axsem sound very much the same in tone and voice, and they have been life long friends.
• Kimira: She is a sapphire dragon whose body is designed for flying as well through water as it does through air. She is firm and strong in both mind and opinion. She is about the same length as Brazor, only she is slender and her scales are rounded.
• Raeleen: She is a small dragon compared to the rest; she is under 20 feet long from snout to tail. She has leaf-shaped scales of emerald green color and very emotional, purple eyes. She is shy and innocently impulsive.
• Malystryx: He is an evil, spiritual being who seeks the downfall of every nation. He is entire evil and gains power by absorbing the life forces, powers, and bodies of others.
• Pukwan (aka The Oracle, Vagahem, the Celestial Crown): Pukwan is the God of the elven race and the Creator of the everything. His true name was lost during war, and so the people began referring to Him as "The Oracle."

Setting & Locations edit see section history

• Zulacon Mountains: A vast range of peaks which stretch across the continent and stand as the natural barrier between the elves on the north and the humans on the south. Much of the story takes place in the midst of the mountains.
• Kokanan (aka the northern kingdom): Formerly an expansive tundra that includes all of the land north of the Zulacon Mountains. It was sold to the elves as a refuge land when they arrived as sailing refugees over two-thousand years ago.
• Firebird Canyon (aka Firebird Pass): Formerly a common route for passage through the Zulacon Mountains, Firebird Canyon was partially destroyed and now ends in a two-hundred-foot cliff overlooking the two sister outpost cities.
• Yerhan: It is the eastern outpost city at the end of Firebird Canyon in the valley of the same name. At one point, it was a major, thriving city; it is now a corroding ruin. Axsem lives just south of Yerhan in between it and its sister city.
• Mount Dyomyn: Anciently, it was a sacred mountain crowned with a temple to mark it as the birth place of the first dragons. Now the volcano appears very much dormant with a lake across its summit and a waterfall down its southern side. At its base, the valley of Dyomyn is the only elven garden left in Kokanan.
• Zylonus: Until it was overrun and burned during the war, Zylonus served as the capital city for the northern kingdom. The city was flash-burned during its last battle with such intense heat that it instantly turned the entire city to hardened ash and withered the surrounding valley. Later, the city was entire destroyed by volcanic activity.
• Mount Ryel: Mount Ryel is the most sacred mountain in Kokanan. It is an enormous volcano with a wide vent in its side that takes one inside the mountain to the Temple of the Crown, a special temple for the the elven kings' worship their God.
