The Moon Lantern Urchins

These urchin children found the egg in the swamps and are now hiding around town.

Ham Barleywain. An anxious ten-year-old boy. He lives in the harbor district with his mother, who makes fish pies for the dock workers. He’s often found fishing on the jetty, and washes pots at the Snapping Line Inn.

Telmay Pelt. An independent ten-year-old girl. Her parents are flagmakers and they live near the harbor district. Telamy’s mother and father are often out of town plying their trade, which means Telmay is used to looking after herself.

Yenry Downcreek. A fidgety ten-year-old boy. As the nephew of a boat maker, he’s practical and good with his hands. He lives with his uncle in the harbor district.

Marni Wolfsmith. An athletic eleven-year-old girl. Her parents are trappers and so she loves being outdoors. She lives with them and several siblings on the outskirts of town.

Fipp Arroway. An eleven-year-old boy and misunderstood troublemaker, Fipp has grown up in an orphanage in the poor district. He’s often found wandering the streets at night getting up to mischief.
