Goronezh

Goronezh is an elven newspaperman in Amalo who works for the Amalo Arbiter.

Appearance
He could speak plaintively at times. When he questioned Thara Celehar after Lord Judiciar Erimar's judgment of Broset Sheveldar, he wore "tiny peridot studs" in his ears that glinted in the sunlight.

Personality
Goronezh "was cynical about the inner workings of the Amalomeire", but was "respectful of the gods." He could be manipulative when trying to get details on a story.

Life
After Thara returned from Tanvero, Goronezh was one of the three newspapermen to greet him, along with Thurizar and Vicenalar. They shouted questions at Thara, which he ignored.

After Thara's trial by ordeal on the Hill of Werewolves, the three newspapermen waited for him at the gate, along with Canon Varlenin. Thara politely dodged the newspapermen's questions.

The three newspapermen later waited for Thara at his office in the Prince Zhaicava building to ask him about the trial and the ghoul in Tanvero.

After Thara presented his deposition to Erimar on the destruction of the Excellence of Umvino, Goronezh, Vicenalar, and two other newspapermen were waiting outside to ask questions. Thara repeated what Erimar had ruled: that the explosion was an accident.

After Erimar's judgment of Broset, Goronezh caught Thara on his own, and Thara answered many of his questions, including about the name-magic Lenet Athmaza used, and Broset's many fake names. Afterward, Goronezh went to speak with Csenaia Ulzhavar.

After Tura Olora's suicide, the three newspapermen found Thara between midnight and dawn at Ulvanensee. Goronezh asked if it was true that Tura committed suicide.

When Thara, Velhiro Tomasaran, and Ulthora Csathamar emerged from their inspection of the Hill of Werewolves, Goronezh, Thurizar, and Vicenalar were there to greet them. Goronezh was pleased to see Ulthora, but asked if Thara was well. When they learned Velhiro was a Witness for the Dead, Goronezh noted that the discovery within the hill could be more than a tomb. Goronezh promised to find Ulthora later.

When Thara, Velhiro, Ulthora, and Lisava Ormevar emerged from their inspection of the hill, Goronezh was possibly with the newspapermen awaiting them. Ulthora promised to speak to them later, with Prince Orchenis Clunethar's permission.

Goronezh later questioned Thara, mostly interested in Velhiro. His article(s) did not mention the revethavar at all.

Thara Celehar
Goronezh did not go out of his way to cast Thara in a bad light, so Thara liked him well enough.

Quotations

 * “We are seekers after truth,” Goronezh said solemnly.”

Trivia

 * Thurizar appeared to be older than Goronezh and Vicenalar, or the one who worked in the industry longest, as he claimed seniority when interviewing Thara while the other two were present. Goronezh is older than Vicenalar.
