Windsoul Family/Tarawethion

Tarawethion

I, Llainadan Denkala, do now enter into the recording of the life and deeds of Tarawethion Windsoul, younger brother to Thaliithilion. Unlike my more cynical Sisters, I am not so quick to disregard the countless rumours and in some cases, outright assurances that this aspect of the family heralded from Elvish homelands. As such, I refuse to filter such things from this record, inviting the reader to decide for his or herself.

The first mention of Tarawethion, (which is pronounced "Tarr-ah-weth-ee-en") comes from a half-complete census in Caligus on the East Continent. Though the document is much damaged by fire, its remains show that the archer made landfall there in the Spring of Restless Winds. It is interesting to note that this places Tarawethion's arrival on the East Continent a season before his older brother. However, it would seem he was not to stay there long, driven away by an apathy that affected the nobles of the realm at that time - or a hostile reaction to his appearance, or both of these things - it is not certain. He boarded a ship to the Atamara only soon after landing in Caligus. It is a delicately-written page from the journal of a noblewoman traveling on the same ship as Tarawethion that first describes the archer's appearance;

"...doth roll upon the waves in a most disagreeable manner upon the slightest of winds. I cannot, alas, speak highly of the sailors whom I am forced to endure the company of - to a man they are coarse and strong-tongued, even in the presence of a lady, and do say the most disrespectful of things. There is one fellow traveler, however, who shares not this common behavior and indeed has shown great courtesy, though he has not spoken. A nobleman of some standing, from his breeches and jerkin made of what seems to be the greenest velvet. He doth wear a rope about his waist
