Character Index of all the characters who appear in the Medieval era of Summerdream (Chapter 27 on), sorted into Dragon, Fairy, Human and Other categories. Some of the Dragons, Fairies and Other types, being immortal, may have first appeared in the Pre-Historical era. Any character labeled with an (R) is a returning character who originally appeared in the first 26 chapters. The (R) will be followed by the number of the chapter they first appear in after the 26th chapter. This index will mostly only list relationships and statuses that exist in the medieval era,and not repeat information listed in the character index for the pre-historical era.
While I try to keep this index spoiler free, it will contain references to relationships as they occur. So, readers who look at the index before reading the relevant chapters may find a few spoilers. This index will be updated as new characters are introduced (or old ones reappear), and new relationships will be listed as they occur.
Dragons:
Dragon culture has seen many changes since the pre-historical era. While many still live in the female centered polyandrous nests, unmated males are no longer required to live in their mother's nests or are considered juveniles. It is not unheard of for male dragons to engage in exclusive relationships with fairies, and/or to live in groups without sharing a mate between them.
Males who live in traditional nests will still introduce themselves by their rank in their mate's nest. Males who have entered into partnerships with fairies often take their fairy mate's surname, a practice the fairies themselves find somewhat puzzling, but also endearing.
Aeaea: (R-Ch21) female dragon
Daughter of Tegan and Scaea (both deceased), she is niece to Seirian. In these times, she is leader of one of the nests living in the same area as Aymeri's. She and her mates (unnamed) take part in the battle against Reinier's army in Ch 47. Some of her mates perish in that battle.
Ailidh: First appearance: Ch. 46 female dragon

Arienh is in the unusual position of being a mated female who is not the head of her nest, and who has chosen to take only one mate. She and her mate Seirian live in Aymeri's nest. She is half-sister by blood to Riain.
Aymeri Dayspring: (R - Ch. 27) male dragon.
Mate of the fairy Ico Dayspring. Father of Talfryn (by Tearhne, deceased)
Once First of Tearhne's nest, Aymeri now leads a small band of dragon and fairies, comprised of his nest brothers, Seirian and Riain, his son Talfryn, Seirian's mate Arienh, their son, Morvyn and the fairies Ico, Shayeleigh and Evenfall. He is also looked to for leadership from other dragon nests and groupings in the area.
Brant: First appearance: Ch. 46 male dragon
Mate to Ailidh, nest brother to Derrell. Brant is one of the only dragons to choose to learn to fight with weapons against humans armed with the Landgraab's blue metal. After Ailidh's death in battle against Reinier Landgraab, he becomes a mate of Paerys.
Derrell: First appearance: Ch. 46 male dragon
Mate to Ailidh, nest brother to Brant. Derrell is one of the only dragons to choose to learn to fight with weapons against humans armed with the Landgraab's blue metal. After Ailidh's death in battle against Reinier Landgraab, he becomes a mate of Paerys.
Fearghus: First Appearance: Ch. 32 male dragon
The son of Arienh by Kirwyn (deceased), Fearghus was born and raised in the area now known as Avendale during the pre-historical era, before the war that took his father Kirwyn's life. He spent most of his childhood in Aymeri's nest and when he came of age, he became the First mate of Inira, the daughter of Seirian by Tearhne (deceased). He and his mate were among those who left the area to populate the Northern areas, and has only recently returned to the Avendale area. He is half-brother to Morvyn.
Inira: (R-Ch. 32) female dragon
The daughter of Seirian by Tearhne (deceased). Her first appearance was as an infant seen only briefly in the pre-historical period. When she came of age, she took Fearghus, son of Arienh and Kirwyn (deceased) as her mate, and they later moved to the North, only returning home in Chapter 32. Inira is half-sister to Talfryn and Morvyn.
Kelyn: First Appearance: Chapter 32 female dragon
Kelyn is the daughter of Dechtire by an unnamed mate. Kelyn was born in the Northern regions after her mother's nest had relocated there from the Avendale area. She is half-sister to Tearhne, who died in the war before Kelyn was born. She is aunt to Talfryn, though she never met him, and to Inira. Kelyn is now mate to Morvyn.
Morvyn: First Appearance: Chapter 27. male dragon.
Morvyn is the son of Arienh by Seirian. He is an unmated male who lives in Aymeri's nest with his parents. Throughout his long life, Morvyn has been prone to having secret affairs with human women, who are always unaware of his true nature. The last of these, Gaelle Delven, became pregnant by him, but never told him of his child. As their affair had come to a sudden end, he was not even aware she was pregnant, and she was quickly forgotten when he met Kelyn and became her mate.

Father of Inira (by Tearhne, deceased) and Morvyn, by Arienh.
Talfryn Nightblossom: (R-Ch. 27) male dragon
Talfryn is mated to the fairy Evenfall Nightblossom. He is the son of Aymeri and Tearhne(deceased).
Fairies: Fairies have not changed much despite many years passing. They still have both first and surnames, and they still never officially marry. Dragons who engage in relationships with fairies often refer to them as mates, a practice the fairies find as puzzling and endearing as their habit of taking their fairy mates' surnames. On the rare occasion that a fairy child is born, the young fairy gets a totally new surname, and does not take the name of either parent.
Auberon Nightshroud: (R- Ch. 30) male fairy
Auberon is the father of Evenfall by his human lover Uvie (deceased). Currently the lover of Tania Summerdream, and what is most likely the ghost of Uvie, though he can't be entirely sure she's not a figment of his imagination. Auberon keeps himself busy these days by answering the prayers of followers of 'the Lady', a deity worshipped by many humans, who is based on Uvie. He's especially protective of Uvie's descendants, and the whole village of Avendale.

Daughter of Evie and Talfryn, born after the death of her father by the dragonslayer Reinier Landgraab. Paerys was aware of her father's fate even while she was in the womb, and her thirst for vengeance quickened her mother's pregnancy and her own growth after she was born, causing her to grow to childhood just hours after birth. She just as quickly matured into adulthood, and after the death of the dragon Ailidh in battle against the Dragonslayer, she formed her own nest with two of the elder dragon's widowed mates, Brant and Derrell.
Shayeleigh Greenbough: (R - Ch 32) female fairy

Sister to Jennicor Winterdream
Humans:
The village of Avendale, where most of this story is set, would be in our world located in Brittany. This comes from the fact that in my Brannon legacy, I stated hat the old Celtic burial grounds in Champs les Sims was the location of the tomb of The Lady (aka, Uvie). Since the tomb is called 'Celtic' in the game (as well as Champs les Sims having other Celtic references like the cave of the Tuatha) I decided that it was in the Breton Celtic region of France. The names of the citizens of Avendale are therefore taken from Breton Celtic names. Interestingly enough, the name Avendale, which came to me by way of heaven's Avendale legacy, where Uvie originally came from, actually fits the area, as Aven and Avenie are Breton names.
While the Brannon family name was rolled at random when I created the founder of my Brannon random legacy before it got tied up in this story, I discovered while searching through some lists of 9th century Breton Celtic names that Branon was actually a real name used by Celtic Bretons. So that's twice I got lucky with names.
The Landgraab name of course comes from the Sims games themselves, starting in Sims 1 with mentions of an Admiral Landgraab. As the name and history of the Admiral hints vaguely at a Dutch inspiration, I've given Dutch names to anyone from their part of the world.
The Goth family are also a staple of Sims games, and given that in real life, the Goths are a Germanic tribe, I consider them as being from a Germanic type culture. And then I gave the one Goth I've actually mentioned and named in the story so far a Scandinavian name, Agneta. Maybe her mother was Scandinavian.
Note: I'm not trying to make any statements about anyone's culture. This is just the sources I'm using for names so that people from different areas can have different sounding names.
