Nanion is the leader of the people of D'Or, a city that was founded by foreigners to Deltora. He is a descendant of the people of Fleet, a town on the island of Dorne, who fled their island a thousand years ago and settled in Deltora during the reign of Queen Adina.[1]

History[]

Nanion was cursed by Thaegan and turned into the sea monster Soldeen to guard the ruby. His wife was turned to stone and his people were transformed into various creatures residing in the Lake of Tears created by Thaegan. A hundred years would pass before LiefBarda and Jasmine would lift Nanion's curse. Though he battles Lief, Soldeen regains his memories as Nanion and helps in getting the Ruby before Thaegan arrives. Upon Thaegan's death, the Lake dries up and both Nanion and D'Or are restored to their original forms.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Soldeen was the monster that inspired Josef to write and publish The Deltora Book of Monsters and is the first monster featured in the book.
  • Soldeen is also the very first guardian monster who is not killed, although since there is a case to be made for Thaegan being the true guardian this assumption may not be true.

Notes[]

  1. In a passage of Return to Del, Nanion was described as "the golden-maned man."
