Sironder (Syranthir Forefront) was the Overlord of the 10,000, and these were his six boon companions.
Periotri Narozanko was Sironder's Minister of State. His skill with words brought the 10,000 safely across the Sweet Sea with the cooperation of the savage blue race of men that dwelt within it.
Svangis Ossetawar was the Most Learned of the Magi. As strict as a Brithini, he was 125 years old when the quest began, and lived until his birth-family's cassir was completed in Jhor.
Balagasso Davit was the General of the Army of the Right Hand. He was a bold warrior, highly cultured, and brought at least two-hundred personal servants with him. He was able to cheer Sironder when none else could, and he died in the Spolite ambush at the site called Balagasso Canyon.
Kart Zavai was the General of the Army of the Center. He was a devotee of the Earthshaker, Maran Gor (in some of the older writings she is called Merun Gevargh), and lived to crush enemy lines, to destroy the foe, to hear the wailing of the enemy's women, for conquest. He was also a great, kind man. He took one hundred new wives after one battle, even adopting their children, when he realized their men were dead and they should die in the cruel winter otherwise.
Rastria Peruta was the General of the Army of the Left Hand. He swore obeisance to Cloud Father and had strange ways, but was a powerful warrior and a good leader. His men loved him. He slew the Dragon of the Esel but died in the doing. There is a star in heaven with his name.
Wasputi Meifan was the General of the Outriders. Cunning and devious as one would expect from the army's chief spy he eased considerably the passage of the 10,000 through Harangvat and Char-Un lands. After Sironder disappeared into Castle Blue he served loyally as viceroy and saw to young Karmanos schooling and training. He died old and in bed, surrounded by his family.
