brought in supplies. Furlo of Thantop found her while raiding the
Alizonders and he sent Gillan under guard to his wife, Freeza. When
Thantop was overrun, Freeza and Gillan fled to Norstead Abbey in
the upper dales. After Freeza died Gillan stayed in the care of
the Dames but eventually substituted herself for one of the Thirteen
Brides given to the Were Riders. She chose Herrel and followed him
to Arvon, where they fought his companions for her freedom and life.
Gillan and Herrel eventually settled in Reeth, a star-shaped tower
standing amid a forest in Arvon near the Redmantle clan-lands. Gillan
bore Herrel a son, Kerovan, who was taken from her at birth. Aylinn,

Borderers, and these were mostly drawn from exiles of Karsten, used
to patrol the borderlands between Estcarp and Karsten. The Guards
were courageous warriors, often fighting until the last man against
their foes. They took strategic direction from the Witches but were
led by a Captain, one of the last of whom was Koris of Gorm. The
Guards were mailed and fought with swords, but they also went armed
with special dart guns that were quite deadly. They often teamed
up with Falconers (who usually scouted for them) or Sulcar when confronting
enemies afield. (WITCH WORLD, WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD, THREE AGAINST
THE WITCH WORLD, WARLOCK OF THE WITCH WORLD).
- Gunnora
Lady of the Old Race, Adept of Arvon. Also called Rashonna, The
Harvest Mother, and Gennora of the Harvests. Gunnora nutrured life

used as talismans. Women called on Gunnora to help with hard births.
Apparently farmers asked Wise Women to invoke Gunnora when planting
