Vohnkar was a male Nelwyn who hailed from the same village as Willow Ufgood.

Character History[]

Early life[]

Vohnkar was an orphan and had been friends with Willow and Meegosh in his youth. Like all Nelwyn lads, Vohnkar had heard the fables of Tir Asleen and the wonders outside of the Nelwyn valley. Unlike most, however, he longed to see the world. He traveled out of the valley and wandered far afield. For three years he journeyed in strange lands. He reached the Western Sea and voyaged with men whose dragon-vessels slid through drifting fields of ice. He went north to the lands of the white bear and saw herds of strange deer so vast that their antlers shimmered in his dreams like a moving forest. He journeyed east, welcomed among the tents of nomads. At last he found his way back to the lands north of Nelwyn Valley. There in the mountains, famished and exhausted and in the midst of a fierce blizzard, he huddled cold and alone in a cave and prepared for death. Elves found him before he died and bore him down into their deep caverns, warmed him, and fed him well until his strength returned. Before he left to return to the Nelwyn Village the elves gave him a gift, a silver elfin ring, cunningly crafted and engraved.[1]

Attack of the Death Dogs[]

He led the attack against the Death Dogs that raided the village during the Planting Festival[2] that took place 1342 years after the Nelwyn Arrival Day.[3]

Expedition to the Crossroads[]

When he saw Elora Danan, Vohnkar realized there was another reason for his quest when he was young, although he did not understand it. The mark on Elora Danan’s arm and the mark engraved on his silver elf-ring were the same.[1]

When Vohnkar volunteered to accompany Willow Ufgood's quest to return baby Elora Danan to the Daikini crossroads, Prefect Burglekutt said that the village could not afford to lose their best warrior. However, when High Aldwin Junn ordered Burglekutt to lead the expedition, the prefect became frightened and called for Vohnkar's help. Vohnkar and two other Nelwyn warriors accompanied Willow to the crossroads, in one instance hiding from Nockmaar riders. Vohnkar followed Burglekutt back to the village when Willow refused to entrust the baby to a shady Daikini named Madmartigan.[2]

Personality and Traits[]

Vohnkar understood why he had become a warrior in the long years of his circling quest. He must give up his own freedom for the safety of Nelwyn Valley. He must dedicate his skill to his people and, with all his heart and strength, fight to protect them from the savagery of Nockmaar.[1]
