Character List for The Ways of Eternity

Looking for a guide to the characters in The Ways of Eternity? Curious about the story’s primary players, whether gods, goddesses, warriors, priestesses, or non-humans? Maybe you want to learn the pronunciation of a favorite character’s name. Perhaps you’d like to track characters’ ranks, titles, or family connections. Or perhaps you simply want to see which of the various characters most piques your interest.

On this page, I’ve identified the key characters in The Ways of Eternity along with a few honorable mentions. Three levels of characters are presented. Some play a major role in the story, some facilitate the growth or illustrate the nature of the main characters, and still others round out the story line as it progresses. To me, all these characters are important. Many are friends. And most will appear in future installments of the I, Horus series.

I hope you find this list helpful and have fun with it.  Enjoy!
