Question
One person with this title grew up in a workhouse in Grynhold, where he grew sick of salt fish, and succeeded his great-aunt Tizanael to hold this title. This title names a house on the river Ratterlin, which is staffed by sendings and can only be reached by a treacherous line of stepping stones above a waterfall. A ruby ring created by the Wallmakers is used by holders of this title to bind the Eighth Bright Shiner in the form of the catlike creature Mogget. Only holders of this title are capable of working with both (*) Charter Magic and Free Magic. People with this title often fly paperwings to visit the glacier of the Clayr or the capital city of Belisaere, and wield a set of necromancer’s bells to control the Dead. For 10 points, name this bloodline that defends the Old Kingdom, whose 53rd and 54th members were Sabriel and Lirael. ■END■
