Marloc, Lusha, Bradyn, and Ahriman

The inspiration for Marloc (MAR-lock) and Lusha's (LOO-sha) looks is central European. Perhaps German/Polish with blue eyes and blonde (and now white) hair. They both have fair skin with warm undertones. Lusha is meant to feel colder in both looks and personality. Lusha's overall features are representative of my older sister in her teenage years when she was a bit more stand-offish and wanted her own identity apart from her siblings. You may have noticed that Bria and Lusha share a lot of the same features, which is what helps Aylith feel more inclined to trust Lusha.

Next is Bradyn (BRA-din). There is nothing too exciting about the origins of this young man. He is a mix of English/French/Belgium. He has a larger family that has been in the Iarann Kingdom since the first age of the first King. His ancestors helped to settle Prann and began to cultivate the land and bring in livestock. Soon others joined in the village's creation and Bradyn's house was one of the first to be built below the Blue Mountains.

Then we have Ahriman (Ah-RI-mon). His suspected ancestry may be similar to Hersium in which his people migrated from the east and intermingled with the people of Ranemore (Viking/Nordic inspired culture). His skin is a deep tan and warm with honey/oaky undertones. His hair is wavy and dark with a bristly beard. His eyes are also a rich brown. No one is certain where he truly came from or who his parents were. A lot about him remains a mystery and to be honest, those parts of himself he likes to keep that way.
