• Taruzake: One of White Field Steward's children, Taruzake is the god of a unique, spicy rice wine (brewed using snake poison).

Demons

• Sondok: She who stands in doorways. Guardian Soul of Ligier who was bound in the First Age to stand guard over The Sunspire.

She bought her freedom with the treasures of the Sunspire's tombs.

Crew of the River Sparrow

• Winter Duty: An older, matronly woman, Winter Duty takes care of the crew. Cooking, cleaning, repairing clothing and sails, and bending her wise eye toward the weather, she nurtures with a firm hand. She doesn't hesitate to scold, but she isn't shrewish. She has never spoken of her own family, though most assume that they were taken as slaves, considering the way she anxiously watches every slave the River Sparrow frees, as though looking for someone. Winter Duty was there when Foam Dancer Exalted, and it was she who connected the new Twilight caste with the prophecy of the Maiden of Rivers.
• Bronze Dusk: A young, brash boy on the verge of adolescence, Bronze Dusk takes a great deal of pride in being treated as an adult, and is utterly surly when treated as a kid. Though he wants to learn the Blade-Sage ways, he so far hasn't mustered the discipline that River Sword has claimed are necessary to learn it.
• River Sword: A man in his late 20s, River Sword is one of the Blade-Sages of the Riverlin, skilled swordsman martial-artists dedicated to defending their tribesmen. River Sword is very protective of the Maiden of Rivers, and believes in her destiny almost more than she does, sometimes. However, he also dislikes the way Winter Duty pushes those expectations on her; he believes that she cannot be bullied into her fate, but must come upon it in her own way. It is clear to anyone that River Sword loves his wife Weeping Peony more than anything else, but his brotherly affections toward Foam Dancer are quite strong as well.
• Weeping Peony: River Sword's wife is a charming, spry young woman around Foam Dancer's age. Though she was initially quite jealous of Foam Dancer when they first met because of River Sword's attention, she has since grown to accept that not only would Foam Dancer never think of betraying her trust, but River Sword's affection for the young Exalt is purely brotherly. She and Foam Dancer are the best of friends.
• Three-Toe Toad: Toad is a surly, loutish older man. Scruffy-faced and balding, he is drunk more often than not. Despite this, he is probably the best sailor aboard the River Sparrow, capable of guiding the ship through the worst shallows and rapids with an ease that borders on the supernatural. Frog is probably the only one of the crew who doesn't fully believe that Foam Dancer is the Maiden of Rivers (at least, he claims not to). According to him, he is simply along so he can be there when it is proven that she isn't. He doesn't discount the good she is doing, however - he respects her for that, and thinks she is terribly brave. She just shouldn't bother with all that Maiden of Rivers nonsense.
