For Best Human Male Character:
He's known as the Last Herald-Mage (guessed it yet?), Shadowstalker,
Demonsbane, and The Hero of Stony Tor!
He's Vanyel Ashkevron!
*screams in the background as adoring 'fans' realise that their idol has *won*
For Best Human Female Character:
She's had a tough life. Getting sold by her beloved brother, saddled by an
interfering mage-sword... She's Kethryveris of Mornedealth, she'enedra of
Tarma shena Tale'sedrin, and one of the founding mothers of clan Tale'sedren!
*more screams, what else?*

He's the confidant of a young Karsite priest in a strange land filled with magic
He's Altra, Firecat!
*chorus of mewing all around!*
Best Non-Human Female Character:
She's been here for longer than we could count, tempered by the forge. Her
mother was the blacksmith. Her father was the flame. She's Need, Mage-Smith
of Old, now a Blade which aided women in danger, held only by women
unafraid (until Firesong came along... but that's another story! :))
*A chuckling voice is heard in everyone's head. We intend to ignore it...*
Best Supporting Male Character:
"The Weaponsmaster has no heart, his hide is iron cold." Aah! But he sure
has a following! Alberich, Herald-Weaponsmaster, heart of gold!
*tonnes of Herald-trainees look on dubiously. Wondering if Alberich tampered...*
Best Supporting Female Character:
Was she the toughest b.... of all? Only the Gods know! All we know is that
she was the most loved women of all! Savil Ashkevron, Herald-Mage,
Wingsister to k'Treva, Guardian!
*flowers thrown on-stage*
Best Villain:
Seems like you guys love politics! Our villain-of-the-day is a rogue
councilor of Valdemar. Working in her inner courts, its Orthallen, Herald
Kris' late, unlamented uncle, and traitor to the throne!
*hiss, boos and cheers!*
Best Scenes:
You know, this was really close! The scene that all of you guys loved is
none other than Death and Reaction starring Tylendel Frelennye and Vanyel
Ashkevron of pre-magic days! The scene (for non-believers) starts from the
repudiation of Tylendel all the way to Van's suicide attempt!
*do I hear crying in the audience as they re-read the poignant scene over again?*
Best Series:
Was there any doubt? LHM is our favourite series with Vows and Honour a
distant second! (For newbies, that's "The Last Herald-Mage" trilogy
starring Vanyel Ashkevron and his lifebondeds)
And for Best Character ever!
'Tis yet another award clinched by our Herald! :) Yes, the winner of the
last category is Vanyel Ashkevron!!!!! <--- count them~
