Main characters

Lief

Lief was raised as a blacksmith's son in the run-down city of Del after the invasion. Hot-headed and impatient at the start of the series, all he wanted to do was go out and explore the city. On the night of his sixteenth birthday, he leaves on his father's quest to restore the Belt of Deltora, the only thing that can save their land and the heir from the tyranny of the Shadow Lord. As he is barely 16, his parents chose a companion to travel with him: Barda (whom Lief originally thought to be a beggar), a former palace guard and the son of Jarred and Endon's nursemaid Min. He gains more companions in the Forests of Silence: Jasmine the "wild girl" and her two animal friends. Lief is courageous and very trustworthy. He withstands any and all temptations to surrender his quest.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 197-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, Deltora and Quest providing the first useful test.
