==The Eagle King==

''The ancient teacher''.

'''Usual Location''': Once, in her younger days, the Eagle King was a wandering hero of the lands; now she rarely leaves the halls of her sect in Grum-Tarath.

'''Common Knowledge''':  The Eagle King is the most famous of the five Waterfall Kings of Grum-Tarath, the leaders of five powerful martial and philosophical sects.  She technically holds no greater authority than the other four, but it is her wisdom, her prowess and her past that more outsiders have heard of.  Now her sheer age has left her a spiritual leader where it is younger adepts and exponents who go forth into the world, and she seems to be content to be a teacher and example to others.  The truth is, of course, that this extremely canny old woman is more involved in the outside world than might appear, and certainly has a knack of sending the right people to the right places to create outcomes that they never themselves suspected they would cause.

'''Characters and the Eagle King''':  Many who would seek guidance in the martial and meditative arts pursue the Eagle King's tutelage; even more come to seek her wisdom on other matters, or hope that in her great age she has seen or heard some vital truth or secret that is of import to them.

'''Allies''':  The Silver Warder was once the Eagle King's finest student, until she was recalled to Pharam Sung to become the ritual prisoner of the Mercury Cell; despite that transformation, the Eagle King still has some fondness for woman the Warder once was.  She sees potential in the Magistrate, and has turned old rivalries into accords of respect with both the Solitary Flame and the Shadowfury.

'''Enemies''': The Vault-Keeper has earned the Eagle King's enmity a long time ago, and a bitter grudge exists between the two Icons.  The Eagle King watches the Wolf-Chosen warily, and considers what she may have to do to protect Grum-Tarath from his depredations; always aware that the Frost Envoy is a part of the real source of the trouble that has come from Ascaria.  Strange exponents and practitioners of unusual and foreign arts and philosophies have started to appear in the Drakkath, presumably brought in from far away to aid one of the Icons in their schemes, and while she has not yet idenfitied which Icon is responsible the Eagle King is troubled by this turn of events.

'''The True Danger''':
