Karan Elienor Melluselde Fyrn is one of the main characters in Ian Irvine's The View from the Mirror quartet.

[edit] Heritage and Childhood

Karan Nandwani is the daughter of Vuula Fyrn and the Half-Aachim and descendant of Elienor, Galliad. When Karan was a young girl, it was thought that her father, Galliad, was murdered by thieves near Carcharon, but it is later forced out of her long-dead ancestor Basunez's ghost, by Rulke, that Galliad had pried into Basunez's secrets and that the ghost forced him off the top of a Carcharon.

After Galliad's death, Vuula went mad and eventually committed suicide. Karan stayed with her mother's people for a time, but was treated badly and remembered her father telling her of his Aachim kin. Karan made her way to the hidden city of Shazmak and when she arrived the Aachim took her in, as she reminded them of her grandmother Mantille. Karan became very close with her kinswoman Malien and was close to being married to Malien and Tensor's son Rael, but Tensor did not approve and had Rael sent away before anything could become of the relationship. When Karan was 18 she left the Aachim, as one among them, Emmant, harassed her and it finally became to much. Karan had inherited Gothryme Manor and all its lands from her mother.

Karan always believed herself to be a "blending", one with the blood of two of the Three Worlds. She knew her father was half-Aachim and believed her mother to be plain old-human, but Faelamor, leader of the Faellem, discovered that one of her people had an affair with one of Karan's ancestors and that Karan in fact had the blood of all Three Worlds. She is a triune.
