Delas Fana

Delas Fana was a Teblor girl and the daughter of Karsa Orlong. Still a year or so from adulthood, she was born and bred with her sister Tonith Agra in the same Uryd village that had been home to their father in the highlands of the Laederon Plateau. Neither daughter had ever met Karsa as he was occupied for years on distant continents, though they had inherited his fearlessness and resolve.[1]

The two girls looked very much alike and were almost exactly the same age, however they were not twins, as the mother of one of the girls was, in fact, the mother of the second girl's mother.[1] Their heritage was half Uryd (from their father) and half Rathyd (from their mothers). The girls spoke little, communicating with each other almost entirely non-verbally.

In Toll the Hounds

One day, they observed their father's hunting-dog (who Karsa had named Gnaw and who was recognized by the Uryd elders as being 'god-touched') leave the village, heading south. With just a glance at each other, they quickly collected supplies and weapons and set off after Gnaw, who they soon caught up with and with whom they travelled with thereafter. The two girls had (correctly) assumed that Gnaw had left in order to rejoin their father--the hunting-dog having sensed that Karsa was now back on the Genabackis continent.[2] The trek south was a long one, but the two girls and Gnaw eventually arrived in the city of Darujhistan where Karsa had also been making for, heading north from his arrival point in southern Genabackis. Darujhistan was in the middle of a crisis caused by a critical 'convergence' of a number of important people, Ascendants, gods and creatures. The girls had their first sight of their father as he was, with others, fighting off ten Hounds of Light which had invaded the city. Karsa's daughters joined the fight, calmly giving Karsa assistance with accurate and skillful placement of atlatl-propelled javelins and distracting the Hound that Karsa was battling with. After the Hounds were all dealt with, Karsa looked more closely at the girls, who he recognized as his daughters by their similarity to their mothers --both of whom he had memorably impregnated on the same day during a raid on their Rathyd village "so many years ago".[3][4] When Karsa left the scene of the fighting, he was followed by his daughters, with whom he was well pleased.[5]

In Orb Sceptre Throne

A year later, just outside Darujhistan where Karsa Orlong was awaiting an important summons, Karsa was still together with his two daughters who he treated with 'gruff affection'.[6]
