Throw in a touch of Empathy along with his noble upbringing, and Vess eventually found himself filling in as the de facto King's Own Herald when Herald Nadja entered the final stages of a terminal illness. The son of Lady Baireschild, Vess grew up along the western border of Valdemar. He was fostered in the village of Solmark, which made him a perfect candidate to investigate tales of a young girl with miraculous healing powers. That girl turned out to be Juni. Vess was present when she was Chosen by the Grove stallion following Nadja's death. He was relieved not to be stuck with the position of King's Own Herald, and was quite content to train his successor."@en . "Sun in Glory"@en . "Vess"@en . .
