Kilava

The Defier

A Flesh and Blood Imass Bonecaster, sister to Onos T'oolan, the First Sword

This was new land for her; she had nothing of the bone-bred sensitivity that she had known all her life among the lands of the Tarad clan, in the heart of the First Empire. (MOI-P)

'The Imass was wearing the skin of a panther. Her eyes were as black and seemed to match its shimmer in the dying light. She looked well fed, her large, swollen breasts indicating she had recently birthed.' (MoI UK mmpb p. 27)

'She appeared before him, sleek and muscled and smooth-skinned. A woman, small yet not frail, the fur of a panther on her shoulders, her long black hair unkempt yet gleaming in the day's dying light. Almond-shaped eyes, amber like his own. Heart shaped face, robustly boned.' (MoI UK mmpb p.316)

'The panther that Toc knew was coming finally appeared, more than twice a man's height in length, eyes almost level with Toc's own, her sleek fur blue-black and shimmering.' (MoI UK mmpb p. 317)

"She is the oldest true Bonecaster of all, Olar Ethil.  The others ceased to grow once they surrendered to the Ritual.  And look at yourself – the same is true.  You are only what you once were, that and nothing more.  If Kilava wishes to remain undetected, so it shall be.  You do not rule this world, Olar Ethil.  You surrendered that privilege long ago, with your very own Ritual." (DoD)
