IV. History


Taranath was born into the house of Bluefin, a renowned family of rangers from the city of Faenasuoror. As a young lad Taranath was taught by his father the skills that a ranger needs. Like his father before him, Taranath spent most of his adolescent years serving as a scout for the Royal Cormyrean Navy. Once Taranath reached adult hood, he undertook the sea elvern rite of passage, known as the test of the Ancient Whale. Taranath was cast out of his community for 5 years with only the skills his father had taught him. During this period Taranath found the Whale necklace worn by the great mage Ormander, This was an enchanted necklace that enabled Ormander to travel the above sea lands. He also spent two years living in, and exploring the elemental plane of water.
5 years passed and Taranath returned to Faenasuoror to be initiated into the fellowship of the Ancient Whale, a secret sect of rangers dedicated to protecting the sea elvern lands against Deep Sashelas’s enemies. On his father’s retirement from the dangers of rangering, Taranath spent the following year escorting his mother and father on their vigil to Evermeet for a more peaceful life. Taranath has now settled on Evermeets coast as an advisor to the queen, her chief explorer and most importantly, defending his home and people against the enemies of Deep Sashelas.
