There Soraya learns the secrets of magic and learns from the Suud, All Speaker. When Soraya learns that her father is dead she sets out to save the rest of her family. Living as a kitchen girl for a while Soraya then gets caught trying to steal precious documents. (15 years old, straight black hair and black eyes)〔 *Kavi: a young peddler. He has a deep resentment for the deghans as they had caused him to lose use of his right hand. This caused him to lose his trade of smithing, and thus becomes a peddler. It was while selling fake goods that he met Soraya and Jiaan. Kavi gets captured by the enemy and tries to escape. But he changes his mind when he learns the enemy of his country are the enemies of the nobility, not the peasantry. He therefore then spies for the enemy. After the battle, Kavi has a change of heart and seeks to save the deghans from a life of slavery. (20 years old, curly light brown hair and brown eyes)〔 *Garren: Farsala's invading enemy commander. This man is caught in a political struggle with his nation, as his father is a senator in the empire. His father had boasted that Garren could use ten thousand men to conquer the mighty army of Farsala, so as to let the other members of the senate allow Garren be the commander, thus he was put at a severe disadvantage and eventually fell.〔 *Patrius: One of the enemy deputy commanders, and a kind man. Initially he is in charge of Kavi when the peddler decides to become a spy. Throughout the series, he is shown to believe in the empire, and is one of the people that goes against Garren's unjust ways. When captured by Jiaan in the third book, he did not show hatred as an ordinary man might do, but instead decided to assist him.〔 *Duckie: Kavi's faithful but stubborn mule. Kavi bought Duckie off another peddler when he was starting out. The mule is shown to enjoy the company of ducks, and vice versa, thus getting her the name of "Duckie". Duckie is quite valuable to saving Farsala.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farsala Trilogy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
