Cradle

Cradle's protagonist — a boy branded 'Unsouled' in Sacred Valley who ventures into the wider world to grow strong enough to save his family.

A fierce, scarred sword artist and disciple of the Sage of the Endless Sword; Lindon's steadfast companion, haunted by the Blood Shadow within her.

A flamboyant, ever-cheerful Underlord of the Arelius family who mentors Lindon and Yerin while hiding staggering power behind his easy smile.

The Phoenix, a Judge of the Abidan whose power can restore a whole world; she shows Lindon a vision of ruin that sends him on his journey.

A centuries-old sacred turtle descended from black dragons who walks the Path of Black Flame and becomes Lindon's teacher and bonded companion.
