Arelius Street Sweepers
MinorBlue-clad servants pressed against a wall like cornered prey, their brooms clutched like lifelines. There's a quiet desperation in how they hold their cleaning supplies, as if these mundane tools might somehow protect them.
The Arelius Street Sweepers are introduced in Blackflame as humble, duty-bound servants of the Arelius family, whose defining moment comes when they are rescued from danger only to immediately resume their cleaning duties. Their brief appearance establishes them as symbols of the Arelius family's broader ethos—service, order, and quiet resilience. Though they do not reappear in later books, their single scene encapsulates the contrast between the family's lofty reputation and the everyday lives of its lowest members.
