Two characters that will be appearing later in the comic; Ahit and Kamas. Ahit is the fennec and Kamas is the jackal.

Kamas and Ahit

Ahit was a child born to a nobleman and a serving girl. Unfortunately, because she was born out of wedlock, she was not recognized as being his daughter. However, not being cold hearted, he raised her as if she truly was a recognized daughter. When she was old enough, her father sent her to the Nomarch of Tanis to be his wife’s midwife. There, she met her life-long friend, Kamas, but her over all mission was to find a good husband. Unfortunately, the Normarch died childless, leaving the house in chaos. Since she was not a recognized child, she was not able to return home, which meant her future was uncertain.

Kamas was born to a low ranking Nomarch. She was raised in a loving home, and given many things she wished. When she was old enough, her father sent her to the Nomarch of Tanis to be his wife’s midwife. There, she met her life-long friend, Ahit, but her over all mission was to find a husband of higher rank. Unfortunately, the Normarch died childless, leaving the house in chaos. Kama could return home, but she would have returned without a husband, much to the displeasure of her family.
