Cyndal

Cyndal is a Dales lady look to go to Abbey Norstead. She is able to use a sword, but she is better with a bow. She is also trying to leave Hervan and Chathalla's home to find the last of her family. To do this, she has decided to hire someone to guard her and remain honorable, since she doesn't want to take forever traveling with merchants. When the old Sword-Seller directed her to Auridan, he is understandably worried for her.

When Hervan gives them a route to go, it is so that Cyndal could be sacrificed. It turns out that the Sword-Seller and a man named Kessas both need champions. Auridan must fight Hervan in order to save her.
