Tareld, born in Galrane, was a man blessed by Drareg to defend Galrane from the Khimliakians and the Thohans in the massive 3 way war known as the War of the North. Tareld was a Tanner living in Jeros until he got word of his brother, and parents being killed in the Nastelv Massacre by Thohan Soldiers. Tareld was originally going to kill himself but then a voice spoke to him telling him that he must use the remainder of his life to do something that would benefit the whole kingdom. Tareld bought himself a Steel suit of armor, weapons and horse with the last of his money and the inheritance from his family and rode out to Angrevak where the garrison was calling for aid in Jeros to help defend it from the imminent siege. Tareld killed around 100 Thohans in the initial wave of the siege and then charged out of the gate with several other Knights sending the attackers running back to their camp.
