Maerlyn
Maerlyn is a name of old sorcery in Mid-World legend, an enchanter of the ancient days tied in story to Arthur Eld's court and to enchanted relics like the Wizard's Rainbow.
The name Maerlyn enters The Dark Tower series in The Gunslinger, and it is one of the oldest names in Mid-World legend. Tales make him a sorcerer of the ancient days, an enchanter associated with the court of Arthur Eld, the mythic king from whom the gunslingers trace their line. Stories disagree about him, as they do about most things in a world that has moved on: he is called a rogue wizard, a maker of wonders, a figure who appears and vanishes across centuries. Old magic often carries his name, above all the Wizard's Rainbow, a set of enchanted glass spheres out of legend. What is story and what is history, Mid-World itself no longer remembers.
