Ex Fidelites Vis Vires
From Loyalty, Strength
The Tasartir family hails from Ambermel, in the Atamaran kingdom of Redspan. Not as well established as many of the older houses in the world, the Tasartirs strive to improve their status through honorable means.
The three male scions of House Tasartir have all reached their majority and are now out making a name for themselves as Knights.
Elenar
The eldest of the sons of the Tasartir, Elenar has taken up arms for his home kingdom, Redspan and served honorably in many skirmishes and battles against Tara and the Cagilan Empire during the Taran War. After the end of the war, he undertook the training of his unit of the Tasartir's Own, Auraen Company, into an elite and powerful infantry unit. When Byblack and Sullenport were returned by the Ash Sea Islands to Redspan, Elenar and Auraen Company aided in the incorporation of the new territories into mainstream Redspan culture, and may Da Goat be the witness to that.
With the declaration of war by Darka, Auraen Company was reinforced and readied, but no invading horde arrived for nearly two months. During that time, Elenar and his men engaged in the defense of their homes against monster and undead uprisings. However, when Darka finally struck, alongside Talerium and a few lackeys from Barony of Makar, Auraen Company was away on maneuvers in Abington. After a forced march home, Elenar and Auraen fought in the defense of the realm, climatically at Sullenport, and again in Meldeen, where Auraen was destroyed and Elenar captured. He now resides inside Cell 14, Cellblock B, Lavigna's Playhouse, Darka.
Niallan
Originally Niallan sought a realm on Atamara to fight for that was farther from home, and he found that in Minas Ithil. However, though serving honorably in major battles between Minas Ithil and Abington, he developed certain doubts regarding the honor and decency with which Minas Ithil and its "nobles" carried themselves. After listening to illogical rants about the "gross oversized" state of Abington (nothing more than envy) from many different Ithilians and feeling the tug of his conscience to resist injustice, Niallan left Minas Ithil to fight for Abington, who deserved his loyalty.
His reception in Abington was surprisingly warm considering he had defected from a realm at war with Abington, and he made good his pledges to serve his new home faithfully and to the best of his ability. Commanding Bravo Company of Tasartir's Own, he participated in the defeat of colonizing forces from the North, including troops from Minas Ithil, and the pursuit and destruction of marauding Darkan dogs in the last campaigns of the War of Annihilation.
After the end of tensions Niallan contributed funds for the renovation of realm recruitment centers. Afterwards, Bravo Company was assigned to the City of Wayburg as militia, as the existing militia had been devastated by the war, and Niallan received command of Desota Company. When Darka declared war on RedSpan, Niallan and Desota Company were part of the Abington force marshaled and sent to Stargard in support of Abington's Federation brothers. When the threat of actual Darka military action diminished after a long, uneventful week of waiting, Niallan, along with the other nobles in the impromptu Redspan Defense Force, returned to Abington.
The realm was a peace and stronger than ever. Events in the north had shifted attention away from Abington and other Southern Alliance realms, and for the time being Niallan thought Abington would be safe. Thus, when he received news of a new kingdom taking shape in Beluaterra, called the Kingdom of Alluran, and with few nobles, Niallan (after writing an emotional goodbye) sailed for Beluaterra and new opportunities.
After working as a trader under her Excellency the Lady Altheda helping to feed the people of Eno, Niallan was promoted to the Royal Treasurer position when Lady Altheda stepped down. He has since been engaged in a mighty struggle to keep the sinkhole known as Eno fed.
Linoren
The youngest Tasartir knight, Linoren left Atamara for the South East Island, drawn by the news of constant, glorious battle. He admits that his reasoning for leaving sounds rather adolescent, but he has always wanted to go and fight. Thus, entrusted with the command of Carain Company, Linoren sailed for SEI.
Tasartir's Own Dragoons Regiment
The Tasartir's Own Dragoons is the household regiment of House Tasartir. Command of each of its Companies has traditionally been passed down through the sons of the family, and each son of House Tasartir currently commands a Company.
1st Battalion (Dismounted)
Auraen Company
The senior Company in the Regiment, Auraen is commanded by Elenar, the eldest son of House Tasartir. It saw action in the Taran War and served as Goat-keeping forces during the incorporation of Sullenport and Byblack into Redspan. Composed of well-trained and motivated infantrymen from Ambermel, Auraen Company fought the Darkan/Talerium invasion force. After taking a hundred percent casualties in the defense of Sullenport, Elenar rallied the last few stalwarts of Auraen for the assault to liberate Meldeen. Unfortunately in that battle, Elenar was captured by Darkans and the Company was destroyed.
Battle Honors:
Taran War - Meldeen, Tandsu, (some others but those records have been lost)
Abington's War of Attempted Annihilation - Lurgrod
RedSpan-Darkan War - Sullenport, Meldeen
Bravo Company
Led by Niallan when he first left Ambermel for Minas Ithil, Bravo Company served honorably in several campaigns, accruing battle honors fighting in Wayburg during the War of Annihilation on both sides of the conflict. The Company later fought in the campaign to rid Suville and southern Abington of the Darkan infestation. When the Abington High Council called upon its nobles to donate their units to help rebuild the militia for the City of Wayburg, shattered after several enemy takeover attempts, the Company was reassigned to its defense and, in a unprecedented event, Colonel Tasartir gave orders for Niallan to give command of the company to his second in command and take a new Company, Desota. Bravo even now is on watch over the ramparts of Wayburg.
Battle Honors:
War of Annihilation
(With Minas Ithil) - Chasnoff, Wayburg

Commanded by Linoren in Ikalak, the Carain have yet to see combat. However, with Taselak forces everywhere, action should come soon.

2nd Battalion (Dismounted)
Desota Company
The current command of Niallan Tasartir after giving up Bravo to the Wayburg militia, Desota has shown itself to be a strong and capable infantry unit. Its early service saw the suppression of infiltrators in Eno. When Niallan began a trader Desota followed. At the Battle of Ardmore, where Desota joined its brethren from Riombara in fighting Enweil and Luz de Bia, the Company was on the front lines. Desota valiantly smashed at the enemy before being overwhelmed. When the Company was reinforced in Eno, it fought in several actions against LdB forces in Brovyl, giving a good account of itself in those battles.
