While they are close friends and share a deep bond, their relationship remains purely platonic. They are both deeply committed to other people and their respective roles in the story.
* Faolan: He is deeply in love with the powerful and charismatic Runa, the warrior woman who is the leader of their tribe.
* Edme: He is a kind and gentle soul who is devoted to his sister, Eluned, and fiercely protective of her.
While Faolan and Edme's friendship is a significant part of the story, they are not romantically involved.
