Stephenson:Neal:The Confusion:Dramatis Personæ
From the Quicksilver Metaweb.
This is a list of the dramatis personæ in The Confusion who have entries in the Metaweb, or should have entries about them written. As this list grows, we may group people by family, region, religion, language, title or noble status, or other methods.
