Allies:
Cathak Senasha His wife. A decorated general who commands the total loyalty of her troops, currently stationed in the North. Senasha shares Taen’s radical politics.
Cathak Korphory Senasha’s brother. Korphory is a sorcerer, a graduate of the Heptagram. He travels by a palanquin borne by eight of his invisible demon servants –they accompany Korphory everywhere, serenading him with the music of their lutes and flutes. The music shifts and changes with events, from mournful dirges to celebratory anthems, but never ceases. Korphory is also a Yellow Banner. It’s rare for a sorcerer to become involved in politics and perhaps only a party as disreputable as the Yellow Banners would embrace such an oddity.
