Cora Drazhar

Cora Drazhar was a page boy in Csoru Drazharan's household who was accepted as a novice into the Athmaz'are.

Appearance
He had pale blue eyes. He was seemingly no more than 14 years old.

Personality
Cora often arrived at the Alcethmeret looking flustered and a bit scared.

Life
His great-great-grandfather was the youngest son of Edrevechelar XVI. He worked at the Untheileneise Court for four years by the start of The Goblin Emperor, and served Varenechibel IV, but Varenechibel IV was displeased with Cora when he went to Amalo, and bade Cora to stay with Csoru Drazharan.

After Maia Drazhar's arrival at the Untheileneise Court, Csoru sent Cora to Maia with a letter requesting Maia's presence in her chambers. When Cora noted that Csoru wanted an answer, Maia reprimanded Cora lightly for the imprudence, and Cora went outside to await Maia's pleasure. After Maia wrote a response wherein he chose his new name as emperor, he took the letter to Cora, addressing Csoru as "zhasanai" rather than "zhasan", which surprised Cora.

After Thara Celehar went to Thu-Athamar in the course of the investigation into the destruction of the Wisdom of Choharo without asking permission of Csoru, Csoru sent Cora with a letter for Maia. After Maia asked Csevet Aisava to check his pneumatics for a possible letter from Thara, Maia spoke to Cora, asking more about him, learning about their familial connection, that Cora was happy enough in his current position, and that in the spring equinox, Cora would join the Athmaz'are as a novice.

Maia gave Thara's letter to Cora, not knowing what to tell Csoru, and Cora suggested that he tell Csoru that Thara wrote to Maia, and simply did not wish to wake Csoru. Cora noted that the deception wouldn't harm Csoru, and might help Csoru not be so angry at Thara on his return.

Skills
As a novice of the Athmaz'are, Cora presumably has the ability to use magic.

He was a little untrained in being a page, or perhaps simply nervous about dealing with Maia.

Csoru Drazharan
Cora notes that he "would not deceive Csoru Zhasanai about anything that would harm her".

Maia Drazhar
Cora seems well-disposed towards Maia. Maia wanted to be sure Cora was happy in his current position, or else Maia planned to help him.

Thara Celehar
Cora seems well-disposed towards Thara.

Varenechibel IV
Cora was devoted to Varenechibel IV, and noted that he would have "gladly . . . died with him."
