Nelac

Nelac was the teacher of Cadvan, Dernhil, Ceredin and Selmana. Later on in life he moved to Norloch and became a bard of the first circle there. He is old even by the measure of bards and is very wise. He is the bard who instated Maerad and gave her her true name. When Enkir took full control of Norloch, Nelac remained behind whilst Maerad, Cadvan, Saliman and Hem escaped.
