Aely
The mage
Carries the light and the questions. Slower to move, quicker to understand what the fire is actually doing.
The rule of Duonaris
No one here does anything alone.
In Duonaris every mother bears two. One learns the sword, one learns the word, and a thread runs between them that no distance has ever cut. The game is built on that: you don't switch between characters so much as keep them together.
The thread
The twinbond
Always drawn on screen between them, brightening as they separate. It is the only thing their mother ever claims to have made.
Corin
The warrior
Moves first and asks after. Reaches the door a beat before his sister does, and then has to wait for her.
The door out of the burning house will not open for one of them. Neither will their mother's last conversation. Every gate in the game asks for both.
