Houlun
The danger finally had a name because one old woman by a fire still remembered the story everyone else had let themselves forget.
Houlun is the hearth-mother of the Eridun rukhin and a sacred Story Keeper of the Southern Continent, in Tower of Dawn — the woman Prince Sartaq counts as his true mother, whose memory holds the histories no one else kept.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
