Characters
Illyia and Lilly
Illyia of Moonstone is a young, tomboyish Runist-in-training, seemingly incapable of performing Runic outside of summoning a conjured sword. While her timid twin sister Lilly of Emerald is a child prodigy capable of using an Emerald glyphstone, Illyia has yet to graduate past a beginner's glyphstone: the humble Moonstone.
Illyia can be brash and insensitive at times, often acting without thinking. But she is also thoughtful and kind to others, always striving to do what she believes is right.
The Acrians
Soon after crash-landing on the island, Illyia encounters another pair of twins: Solina, an overly-serious master of sword runic; and her bookish brother, the pompous and arrogant Alban. They are accompanied by their retainer and protector: the stoic, hulking knight Izusa.
Royal scions from the southern Queendom of Acria, they claim to be on a pilgrimage of some sort, but their motives are unclear. Are they friend or foe? Time will tell.
Ceci and Farrin
A fellow student at the academy, Ceci of Aquamarine is a constant thorn in Illyia's side, relentlessly bullying her at any given opportunity. Never seen without her best friend, the quiet and polite Farrin of Amethyst, Ceci has also found herself stranded on Ithos, and may serve as an unlikely ally (and rival!) to Illyia in her search for Farrin.
