Charlemagne Athelstan Redrought Strong-in-the-Arm Lindenshield, Prince Regent of The Exiles, Shadow
Charlemagne, known as Sharley, is Thirrin and Oskan's crippled youngest son and has the green eyes and red hair of his mother. At a young age he contracted polio, and was saved by Oskan, although his leg was crippled as result. Charlemagne resents his injury, and when he is named Prince Regent of the Exiles, he takes advantage of the chance to prove himself. In the desert lands, with the help of Crown Prince Mekhemet, he trains as a warrior. He is given a scimitar with emeralds embedded into the handle. Mekhemet and Sharley then embark on a mission to make an alliance with Ketshaka, Leader of the Lusu. They then lead an army back to the Icemark and save the country. When Sharley was charging into the battle, the flames from the burning city gleamed off his sword as if it were on fire (hence the title: Blade of Fire). In The Last Battle of the Icemark, he, Mekhemet, and Kirimin of the Icesheets get lured to the magical Plain of Desolation, halfway between the Light and Dark, by Medea. There they meet the spirit of the Vampire King and Imp-Pious, the faithful imp.
