Timeline
Appears at the door of the inn in the final moment of the chapter, politely asking Erin for entry. Its arrival is a cliffhanger, representing the first potentially non-hostile contact for Erin.
The Antinium species is introduced through the character Klbkch. Erin is initially terrified by his insectoid appearance but comes to see him as a kind and formal individual. Relc's comments imply they are an uncommon sight and that others find them difficult to work with.
Mentioned as Klbkch's species. He is the only Antinium present in the Guard's barracks scene.
Represented by Klbkch, whose species is identified and whose unusual physical capabilities are demonstrated.
Klbkch's species is noted, particularly his impassive insect-like appearance when Relc is about to kill Pisces.
Mentioned as one of the species living in Liscor, though Erin noted she hadn't seen any on the streets yet.
