Traders
Gilav Chandrisa Idaram, the gilav, or leader, of Tenth Caravan Idaram, which is trapped in Gold Ridge Valley during the forest fires in Daja's Book. Polyam's mother.
Pirisi, a Trader who was, for unknown reasons, working as Sandry's nurse, and taught her Tradertalk. Sandry's only constant friend in her first ten years, due to her parents traveling around the world.
Polyam Idaram, a wirok for Tenth Caravan Idaram, the one who buys all the caravan's needs and disrespected in Trader culture for spending, rather than earning money. Polyam lost an eye and a leg in a mudslide, and had been heavily scarred and unable to ride until meeting Daja Kisubo, who crafted for her a magical/mechanical leg out of the melted brass that fused to her hand in a forest fire. The leg enabled Polyam to ride again, and resume her previous role for the caravan, as a trainer and seller of horses. A post by Tamora Pierce at SheroesCentral has suggested that since Daja's Book, Polyam received from Daja a magical/mechanical eye, similarly constructed from living metal.
