The name of Sen's spider companion, revealed as the battle outside the capital intensifies. Glimmer of Night uses a selective draining web against the ambushers while leaving Sen and his allies untouched.

The name of Sen's travelling companion, learned as reports about his academy reach the party. She is important to Sen's household and has accompanied him despite the repeated attacks on the road to the capital.

The ruler whose relationship with Sen may suffer if hostile cultivators delay Sen's journey to the capital.

Lai Dongmei (Supporting)

The woman who raised Sen and whom he regards as his grandmother. She arrives at his newly fortified manor to assume practical responsibility for the noble house he has acquired and to give it experienced family leadership.

Capital steward (Minor)

Also known as Personally sworn former-house servant

A former servant of the defeated noble house who chooses to swear personal loyalty and service directly to Sen. Her oath distinguishes her from staff who bind themselves only to his new house.

Royal attendant (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 56

A cultivator identified as an intermediary in the plot to bomb Sen's manor. She is linked to arranging the attack before the people who supplied the explosive and breached the defenses are fully identified.

Core-formation archer (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 65

An exceptionally skilled cultivator recruited on short notice to teach weapons at Sen's academy. He can strike several airborne targets with a bow and retrieve his arrows using wind qi, but his heavy reliance on alcohol makes his reliability uncertain.

Laughing River (Supporting)
