Roganvarth Penterestsson and Rana Riverlocks are lovers. He is the thrice-born, thrice-sworn. He started off life as a boy and joined the cult of Voriof where he swore a mighty oath to let no harm come to any of his flock. He kept this oath. Then she, still Roganvarth, became a follower of Yuhurol the Golden Ram where she swore a mighty oath to do no harm and heal all. She kept this oath. Finally in this time of trouble he has joined Ereltharol the Black Ram. He has sworn a mighty oath to bring harm to all enemies of Heler.
She, Rana Riverlocks also known as the Raindancer, is a devoted follower of Tarena the Blue Woman, full of grace and fair of face. She can dance on the rain drops, braids river and cloud spirits and daimones and spells into her long, uncut hair and can quench the strongest thirsts. She and Roganvarth have known each other all their lives. They have been in turn friends, rivals and now lovers. As young boys they were first friends and then rivals. Both sought the hand of the beauteous Ortossa. She played them like an angler with a fish for seasons before finally choosing Rana. Roganvanth fled his heart by being reborn as a woman. Rana was happy for awhile but Ortossa proved to be a false trifler. He too was reborn as a woman and wandered long and far learning great magics. Then she returned to her birth stead where she met Roganvarth, now a follower of Ereltharol. There they realized they were the same breath from separate lungs and they have been inseparable ever since. They have heeded Broyan's call to arms and have come to Whitewall to help. Roganvarth has sworn his mighty oath and Rana holds close her mighty love.
