Varlenin

Canon Varlenin was a member of the Prelacy in Amalo who served the Amal'othala, and witnessed Thara Celehar's trial by ordeal.

Personality
Thara noted that Varlenin was well bred and well trained. She was polite and supportive.

Life
When Nepevis Duhalar insisted Thara go through a trial by ordeal, and the Amal'othala agreed, the Amal'othala set the ordeal for Thara to go on a pilgrimage to the Hill of Werewolves, and assigned Varlenin to witness the trial. Varlenin met Thara in the Amalomeire kitchen, explained her presence, and waited for Thara at the gate to the Hill of Werewolves with the key to the gate, with instructions to open it at dawn. She also showed Thara to some food before his trial. After Thara was finished eating, Varlenin led him back up through the Amalomeire to a two-wheeler carriage to the Hill of Werewolves. Thara gave her his coat of office for safekeeping while he performed the trial. After she closed the gate, she wished him luck.

A messenger arrived just before midnight, summoning Varlenin and Thara to the Amal'theileian. Varlenin was joined by Goronezh, Thurizar, and Vicenalar from the newspapers. Varlenin was surprised when Thara returned in the morning/how he looked when he returned. She opened the gate and explained that the newspapermen wished to hear about Thara's ordeal. Thara politely brushed them off and went with Varlenin in a carriage to the Amal'theilian. She asked for the token Thara had collected, which made her smile, and thanked him. Once they left the carriage, she helped Thara brush the dried mud off his trousers and helped him put on his coat. Then she led him into the Azalea Room.

After Thara left his meeting with Prince Orchenis Clunethar in the Cinnabar Room, Varlenin was waiting for Thara - likely to guide him out - along with Aiva Vernezar and Ediro Zanarin. Aiva dismissed Varlenin, who hesitated, bowed, and left.
