Tasartir Family

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 still strive to improve their condition.

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 recent, and insane, declaration of war by Darka, Auraen Company has been reinforced and Elenar and his men await the time when they will help shoulder again the defense of their home.

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.

Linoren

The youngest Tasartir, Linoren left Atamara for the East Continent, drawn by frequent (and months old) stories of a colorful, tight knit, and peaceful nation called Avamar Selective that was fighting for its survival against the colonizing forces of three huge enemy realms. That situation, mirrored by the recent struggle Abington faced (in which Niallan, older cousin and role model, fought), sparked a desire inside him to go and fight for a similar cause. Thus Linoren, youngest of the family, sailed for Avamar.

Upon reaching Kalmar, capital of Avamar Selective, Linoren was swept up by the organized and focused hustle of preparations as the high lords of the realm directed the preparations for defending against the next Old Rancaguan/Sirion/Fontan invasion. He quickly found an excellent captain, Dietmar, who was instrumental in readying Carain Company, Linoren's command in the Tasartir's Own Dragoons Regiment, which would be fighting dismounted. As per orders, the Carain moved out to Stora, the target for any OR/S/F beachhead. The company helped defeat an advance scouting party sent by OR/S/F, then was ordered to return to Kalmar to prepare for the final defense of her walls against the enemy.

Tasartir's Own Regiment

The Tasartir's Own Regiment 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.

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 awaits the arrival of the Darkan invasion force.

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 to
