(SPELL OF THE WITCH WORLD).
- Kantha Twice Born
Some personage, historical or imaginary, for whom one of the Abbeys
of the Flame was named. The tradition may very well have been brought
with the Dalesmen from their original world.
- Karn

Tregarth after escaping from Karsten and proved to be one of Simon's
best scouts. (WITCH WORLD).

- Kerovan

(THE CRYSTAL GRYPHON).
- Kerovan
Dalesman of High Hallack and Arvon, last rightful lord of Ulmsdale
from Ulm's House. He was cursed through both parents' lines, and
walked upon cloven hooves and had amber eyes. Kerovan was axe-wedded
to Joisan of Ithkrypt before the war with Alizon. Tutored by a master
armsman, Jago, raised by a forester, Kerovan was befriended by Riwal,
an adventurer related to Ulric's Head Forester, who often took Kerovan
into the Wastes. Kerovan served in the war for several years, earning
the respect of Lord Imgry. When Ulric died, Kerovan returned to
Ulmsdale but was deposed by Tephana, Hlymer, and their kinsman Rogear
of Paltendale. Kerovan went on to rescue Joisan, at first pretending
to be one of the Old Ones. Eventually he earned her love and revealed
his true identity to her. They travelled to Arvon, where they met
Alyn and Jervon, reviving Landisl and working with Ibycus against
the Dark. (THE CRYSTAL GRYPON, GRYPHON'S EYRIE, WARDING OF WITCH
WORLD).
- Kildas
Daleswoman of High Hallack, sister of Gralya. Sent to be one of
the Were Rider brides. She married Harl. (YEAR OF THE UNICORN).
- Koris
Man of Gorm. Commander of the Guards, Marshal and Seneschal of Estcarp.
Son of Hilder by a Tor wife, Koris was not allowed
by his step-mother Orna to succeed his father. Instead, he barely
escaped from Gorm alive when the Kolder arrived to take over his
land. Koris found his way to Estcarp, taking service with the Guards
and rising to become their Captain. He befriended Simon Tregarth
and took Simon with him when he went to Sulcarkeep to help defend
the fortress against the Kolder. After Sulcarkeep was destroyed
Koris and his men took ship with Simon and Jaelithe, but Koris and
Simon's vessel was caught in a wild storm and dragged toward the
coast north of Verlaine in Karsten. There Koris found and claimed
the Axe of Volt, a great weapon and talisman. He also met Loyse,
daughter of Fulk, lord of Verlaine. Loyse joined Koris, Simon, and
Jaelithe in their travels and she eventually married Koris. They
had one son, Simond. After Simon and Jaelithe disappeared from Estcarp,
Koris and Loyse protected their children, preventing the Witches
from taking Kaththea to the Place of Wisdom. But eventually Koris
was wounded and the Witches seized Kaththea after Loyse went to be
with Koris. Koris in time recovered from his wounds but he could
no longer bear the Axe of Volt. It was beieved among the Estcarpians
that he made a special trip to Verlaine to return the Axe to Volt's
tomb. Koris then returned to Estcarp, resumed command of the Guards,
and eventually restored order to Estcarp after the Witches' nearly
destroyed themselves in bringing about the Turning. Koris then became
effective ruler of Estcarp, and he helped to establish relations
with people in Escore, Alizon, High Hallack, and Arvon. Koris convened
the great council that decided to destroy all the gates and he oversaw
the progress of the various missions from Es City. (WITCH WORLD,
WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD, THREE AGAINST THE WITCH WORLD, WARDING OF
WITCH WORLD).
- Kuniggod
Daleswoman of High Hallack. Brixia's nurse. After the death of
Brixia's mother, Kuniggod ruled the household of the Lord of Morrachdale,
and governed the dale after his death. She was sick with the Deep
Chill when Moorachdale fell to the Alizonders, but she and Brixia
escaped from the keep of Torgus before it was destroyed. Kuniggod
was apparently a Wise Woman who was familiar with some places of
the Old Ones in or near Moorachdale. She died soon after getting
Brixia to safety. (ZARSTHOR'S BANE).
