- This article is for the guildmaster. For other uses, see Soren (disambiguation).
Master Soren Mender is the Guildmaster of the Builders Guild. He holds a seat on the Council, and is a close friend of both King Kiril and King's Own Herald Nikolas.
His niece Lydia, who lived in his home in Haven, married King Kiril's Heir, Prince Sedric.
Soren is known for his "sober" Midwinter celebrations, where class barriers are dissolved and conversation and music flow freely.
Soren was shopping for a trinket for his niece when Mags noticed the vendor was selling poor gems. Mags revealed the deception, and helped Soren buy a gem at a fair price. In return, Soren invited Mags to his celebrations, which opened up a whole new world for Mags.
Soren's face was "seamed with wrinkles, which all looked as if they had been formed out of good humor rather than bad temper."[1]
