Nasin Caeren
Author: Toral Delvar
General
Nasin was the High Seat of house Caeren, one of the nineteen houses powerful enough that they have a say in any succession and the single most powerful house in Andor (CoT, Ch. 15). He is considered scrawny, and is goat faced with thin white hair (TFoH, Ch. 19; KoD, Ch. 17). Though he is the High Seat, he often seemed addled (LoC, Ch. 1).
