- Sul
The name cried aloud by the Sulcar warriors when they went into battle.
(WITCH WORLD, WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD).
- Sulcar
Seafaring men who entered Witch World through a gate in the northern
seas. Their own world was used as a refuge by a race so foreign
to them the Sulcar tried to destroy them. But the aliens were too
powerful and the Sulcar were themselves nearly destroyed. An Adept
of Witch World opened a gate for a small fleet of Sulcar ships to
escape through. The Sulcar then established themselves as renowned
traders throughout Witch World, earning respect and a repuation for
fairness and bravery unmatched by other peoples. But they chose
their friends carefully and entered into alliances with the Falconers,
the Old Race of Estcarp, and the Dalesmen of High Hallack. Some
of the Sulcar may have fallen into a barbaric or near-savage state,
perhaps being cut off from their main enclaves. These groups seem
to have harried the eastern coasts of Escore. The Sulcar eventually
built Sulcarkeep on a peninsula to the west of Estcarp and from their
conducted their trade throughout the world. When Sulcarkeep was
destroyed new enclaves were established in other lands but the chief
group seems to have settled under Anner Osberic in Es Port. The
Sulcar assisted in searching for gates and destroying them. (WITCH
WORLD, WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD, WARDING OF WITCH WORLD, other books).
- Sulcarkeep
Vast fotress city situated on the peninsula to the west of Estcarp,
built in the day of Magnis Osberic's great-grandfather to be a haven
in time of storm and war for the Sulcar and their ships. Sulcarkeep
was built of solid stone and masonry and took advantage of the natural
outlines of a promontory jutting out into the sea. Gongs seem to
have been positioned around the perimeter of the fortress to warn
ships of impending peril during times of fog. Sulcarkeep was filled
with many warehouses, and Magnis boasted that every pirate and lordling
in Witch World dreamed of looting the city. The Sulcar always manned
the fortress but had prepared its power projector (q.v.) against
the need to destroy Sulcarkeep should it ever be taken. This proved
to be the fate of Sulcarkeep during the Kolder War. Magnis Osberic
destroyed Sulcarkeep when the Kolder overran it. (WITCH WORLD).
- Sussia
Daleswoman of High Hallack, last of her immediate line. Sussia's
homeland was situated on the coast of High Hallack and was one of
the first to fall to Alizon. She was harbored in Abbey Norstead,
but at war's end her surviving kinsmen betrothed her to prevent her
being sent to the Were Riders. Sussia confided in Gillan as the
time of payment grew near. (YEAR OF THE UNICORN).
- Sword Bride
A Sulcar ship which brought provisions for Estcarp's army from the south
to Es Port. Koityi Stymir took some of these provisions aboard the Wave
Cleaver when he accepted Jaelithe's commission to follow the Kolder
submarine carrying Simon Tregarth and Loyse.(WEB OF THE WITCH WORLD).
