Rachis
Rachis is the father of Calamus and Alula, and a former resident of the Glen. When his children were young, he lived with them in the village, but for reasons unknown, moved them to the nearby ruins. In one of the Author's unpublished books, it is mentioned that the Author taught Rachis how to read and that both of them have been meeting with the Prophet regarding the prophecy. Before the Prophet died, she gifted Rachis with one of her glowing yellow feathers, which he intended to pass down as a family heirloom.

Since Calamus states that he and Alula are living in the Ruins alone, it can be assumed that Rachis is no longer living with them. It is unknown what might have happened to him and whether he is alive or dead.

The Prophet
Main Article: The Prophet

The Prophet was a seer with glowing feathers. She died of unknown causes, but before dying, prophesied that a savior would come from another land, and gave one of her feathers to Rachis. Since she was stated to have feathers, it is implied that she was a bird person like Rachis.
