- Brechin - When he was alive, Brechin was the strongest in the herd and though he could have easily won the position as Lord of the Herd, he chose to stay a captain in the corps. He was murdered by the Drailla the night his son was born.Brechin was deeply respected among the herd, except by Drail and Sgorr of course.
- Eloin - Eloin is a beautiful hind who is Rannoch's birth mother. In the beginning she is forced to give up her son to Bracken to save him, while she is taken away by Drail and is forced to be his "wife".
- Rannoch - is very intelligent about the landscape and the creatures that reside in it. Rannoch has been with men for a time, and he has been on his own for a while. Through this, he is able to gather up much information from a certain seal and more from a wolf who he had saved. His friends are not as smart as he is, so they don't make many decisions for the group. This makes Rannoch the leader of the group.
- Sgorr - Sgorr is an evil deer who has dreams of conquering the great land of Scotland. He comes from the magical and mysterious Herne's Herd, and he has no antlers. He also has only one good eye, but he is still a fierce deer who wants no one in his way. He killed the previous leader, Drail, and took all of the forces of the herd into his own power. He also took Eloin, Rannoch's birth mother, as his own wife, but she refuses to be near him.
Sgorr is fearsome to all who oppose him because he has a great knowledge of everything. All of the other red and fallow deer are forced by the Sgorrla to bow to his will and join the crusade of becoming the leaders of the Great Land. Sgorr has a dark and great secret (!SPOILER ALERT!) - he killed a human fawn and ate it's heart. - Bhreac - Bhreac is an old hind who helps Rannoch and the others escape. She never really liked stags and their arrogance. Not too far in their journey, she passes away.
- Blindweed - An old storyteller stag that helps Rannoch and the others escape. He has to stay behind in the Home Herd though. The Sgorrla end up murdering him.
- Bracken - Bracken was with the herd before Sgorr betrayed Drail, and she was with Eloin on the night of Rannoch's birth. A couple days before, she had given birth to a stillborn fawn. Eloin has to keep Rannoch's identity secret because of the Prophecy, so Bracken trades the stillborn fawn for Rannoch, the fawn with the oak leaf on his head. Bracken takes Rannoch along on the great journey north, and Eloin stays back with Sgorr because she is forced to.
- Drail - An old Stag who is Lord of the Herd. (Until his second in command, Sgorr, betrays him and murders him.) He took Eloin as his wife against her will. Sgorr steals Eloin from him, too, by murdering him.
- Tain - Tain has been Rannoch's friend since they were fawns and has always treated him with respect. Tain takes after Blindweed with his love of storytelling. He becomes a captain in the corps, as does Thistle and Bankfoot.
- Thistle - Thistle has known Rannoch since they were young fawns. They haven't always got along the greatest, but they are still considered friends. Thistle dies in the Last Stand against Sgorr and his Sgorrla. He still manages to become a captain of the Outriders before his death.
- Bankfoot - A chubby stag who has a stutter. He is Rannoch's friend since they were young fawns and Rannoch saved him from the older herla who were picking on him. He ends up being Captain Bankfoot.
- Willow and Peppa - Willow and Peppa are twin fawns.Willow is Rannoch's soul mate and lover in the story. She always helps him when he needs help physically or emotionally. Rannoch also likes Willow, and this becomes evident when he risks his life to save her on the Great Mountain, jumping over a crevice and rescuing her.
When Willow first met Rannoch, she was very unkind because she thought that it was him that was causing them to leave the comfortable home herd. She is mistaken, however, because it is really Sgorr who forces them out.
Peppa liked Rannoch right away.But she was always meant for Bankfoot.She's a kind hind with a black smudge on one of her ears. This is the only way you can tell Willow and Peppa apart.
