cast

This “Cast of Characters” should appear in Volume Six.
This list does not include every single named character who appears in the series, but it does include most. It is organized by relational categories sorted by region or place, and some of these categories are based on where the characters start out in Volume Six, rather than where they started in the series as a whole.

Eventually I plan to post a straight alphabetical list with every named character online, together with a complete relational list, to appear in Volume Seven and online.
