So, is Faevv considered a deserter? After all, she become close chums with Juar, the deserter who left to become King of the Burnt Land.

I suppose you could argue whether she is a special case because of some of the circumstances, but by the end she does pretty much give up all ties to her tribe, so she certainly qualifies. Of course, "deserter" was basically a term invented by Meidar, so make of it what you will.

Ooh...

That's my Faevv! Strong, spirited and independent!

And Meidar: She's dead, isn't she? Still, I'd hoped for more of a backstory to her.
