Janner

Janner Wingfeather (or Janner Igiby, the alias he and his family were hiding under during the events of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness) is the eldest son of Nia Wingfeather and Podo Helmer. In his youth, Janner lived in Anneria, in Castle Rysen until the Fang attack on the Castle, and his mother escaped with Janner, his brother, and his sister Leeli. Janner's father and uncle were captured and taken to Castle Throg, where they were Fanged, Artham was melded with a falcon, but changed his mind halfway, and Esben was melded with a bear.

The events between the attack on Castle Rysen and Book 1 are not explained in much detail, but the surviving family moved across the Dark Sea to Glipwood Township, and changed their last name to Igiby. This lasted for years, ending days after the Dragon Day festival with Janner and Kalmar (Tink at the time) getting thrown into Glipwood's Jail. This resulted in Nia Wingfeather buying the boys' freedom with Annerian jewelry. When the Fang capitan was noticed with the Annerian jewelry on by General Krak, it raised alarm as it was traced back to the Igiby family.
