Pawn of Prophecy introduces us to some more characters, as all good sequels do. First to come across our (dare I call it this?) fellowship is the knight, Mandorallen. He is huge, dreadfully formal, incredibly ferocious in battle and holds his honor and status with great pride. He comes across at first as a big, pompous twit, but he's really very genuine and kind underneath it all. He also has some serious emotional baggage that he keeps on the down-low. I actually would love to see somebody like Alfred Molina.

Next is Lelldorin, the archer. This young man in impulsive and headstrong, a combination that often gets him into trouble. He lacks common sense, but makes up for it with sheer strength of will and devotion to... everything; his friends, his comrades, his cause, his nation, his woman, etc. I guess "passionate" is probably the best way to describe him. Jamie Campbell Bower, all. the. way.

The next warrior to join the group is Hettar, a royal clansman of a nomadic group. Oh, and he can talk to horses. Neat trick. He's the most violent of the warriors on this quest; bloodthirsty and vengeful don't even quite cover it. I sort of picture the strong and silent type. Somebody the can just set you on edge, right from the start. A man who would take some getting used to. Like Cillian Murphy.

The companionship spends a fair bit of time in Tolnedra with Ran Borune, the first king that we see alone for such an extended period of time. And since we're going to see a lot of him over the coming novels, I thought I'd go ahead and throw a name in the ring. I know he's a little on the old side, but for a blow-hard old king, I see Timothy West.

Probably the most important character to be introduced outside the first chapter is CeNedra. Part Dryad, part Imperial Princess, she is a little fireball. She's everything that an Imperial Princess ought to be; haughty, spoiled, self-centered, intelligent, flirtatious, manipulative and demonstrative. Don't worry, you grow to love her eventually. Eventually. This is one of those parts that would likely go to an unknown, but maybe this girl: Emily Osment. I know, I know "Ack! A Hannah Montana girl!" But, really, she's cute and I think she could be kind of a handful, no?
