William "Wit" Cousland

"We all have our burdens; not everyone carries theirs around like a gigantic urn on their backs; some keep them hidden away, the better to never see you do anything other than smile because of me..."

—Wit, spoken to Skylar as he attempts to lift her spirits

Having traded her nobility for fealty to philanthropy in the name of the realm, Xauf, eldest sibling of the Two Moons royal family traveled East to the fertile soils of Aldfield, where she met and fell in love with the lowborn Ssiag Cousland, whose insight and charm brought baby Wit into the world. Born William to the newly noble Cousland family, the boy grew fast and strong, taking quickly to the farm life roles his father depended on him to complete.
