Herald List
Here are lists of Heralds and Companions mentioned in the various books of Misty's Valdemar series. The Herald's name comes first; the second name is that of the Companion. The codes that follow the names tell which book mentions the pair. The codes are:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| AFa | Arrow's Fall |
| Of | Owlflight |
| AFl | Arrow's Flight |
| Os | Owlsight |
| AQ | Arrows of the Queen |
| SB | Storm Breaking |
| BB | BBrightly Burning |
| SI | Sword of Ice: And Other Tales of Valdemar |
| BS | By the Sword |
| SR | Storm Rising |
| MPa | Magic's Pawn |
| SW | Storm Warning |
| MPri | Magic's Price |
| WC | Winds of Change |
| MPro | Magic's Promise |
| WFa | Winds of Fate |
| Obo | The Oathbound |
| WFu | Winds of Fury |
| Obr | Oathbreakers |
| SS | "Stolen Silver" (a short story about Alberich) |
| * | Grove-Born Companion |
The initial information for these lists came from the Heralds and Companions List on the Valdemar's Heartstone site. I've reworked and reorganized the data as well as added the book citations. I've also included some names that were omitted from the original list.
If you spot any glitches or if you have information you'd like me to add (such as new pairs you've spotted or information about where you can find listed pairs), message me at shashtah@gmail.com
