===Zdan===
An ancient maalem, the leader of the band in gnawa rituals at the court of Amon, working in harmony with Amon's daughter Rayah, who led the sacred dancers.

Now, in exile, he is visited only by his old mentor Zdan, who never fails to share how disappointed he is in his old pupil for embracing profane modern music over the divinely ordained rhythms of the gnawa; and for forcing Zdan to play on long after he should have retired and passed down his Sintir. He had earned the rest, but without Ashja there are none good enough to take his place and lead the ritual. So he plays on.

===Rayah===
Amon's daughter, who led the sacred dancers. Ashja's rival and once-betrothed, she has not visited in the decades since Ashja's exile. A carved driftwood windcatcher – hand-painted by the King's own daughter, back when he was a favourite of her father, and of her besides – hangs limp in Ashja's kitchen. If he ever actually cracked a window and allowed in the wind, it might spin hypnotically and produce an low, droning note. It might call across the skies to the Other Realm, to its maker the Princess of the Wind... if you believe in that sort of thing. And if he ever.

===Amon===
Lord of the Court of Tradewinds

===Nyxis===
Nyxis of the Unkind Echo. Nyxis of the Silvered Vow. Nyxis of the Last Lullaby. 
A member of the Court of Moonlight, imprisoned in the manager's office of the Blackbird by Dante Slade; freed by Ashja.
''She owes him a Debt.''
