Lady Aerulan was a Highborn Knorth girl killed in the Knorth Massacre. She died leading the assassins away from her cousin Tieri. She was Jame's cousin, and was sister-kin to Brenwyr, later the Brandan Matriarch. In order to secure his sister's happiness, Brant, Lord Brandan, agreed to pay Ganth an exorbitant sum for Aerulan's contract in perpetuity, but Aerulan was killed in the Knorth Massacre before the arrangement could be finalized.
