Personality:
Tehn , in the manner of most young woman, who are doted on by their fathers, tends to be brash and headstrong. Her upbringing as a boarderlander in Kandor has left her prickly about her family's honor. The willowy young woman appears to be driven by her youthful arrogance, vanity as well as a thirst for recognition. However, she is friendly, outgoing, and gregarious by nature believing that it is better to make a friend then an enemy. Those who know her best appreciate Tehn’s wry sense of humor and know her as a lover of debate and singing.
Appearance:
Tehn Falind is tall for a woman with a lithe but well-muscled build, she looks older than her years and carries herself with an air of confidence. Her features are proportionate and pleasing, she possesses a straight nose and a full mouth, that always appears as if she is about to laugh. Her large, green, eyes framed by long, full lashes set off a gaze that is both knowing and penetrating. Her dusky skin is as flawless and smooth as well creamed coffee and accentuates the shoulder length, dark locks of hair that appear to reflect the light around it.
The slender long-limbed woman is most often dressed in shades of lavender with a large brimmed, feathered cap the same color. Tehn wears calf length breaches that are cut to look like a dress with a comfortable blouse worn under a thigh length coat. She has a thin sword strapped on her left hip with a dagger on the opposite side.
Background:
To find the Horn, until my last fateful breath, to sound the horn at Tarmon Gai'don, no sooner except in death, Tehn recalled her oath as she sat in the noisy tavern considering her next move. She sipped a goblet of Tharon wine and can’t help but reflect on the events that brought her to The Great Square of Tammaz….
Seven Years ago
Tehn stood outside of her family’s farmhouse, in Kandor, practicing her forms “Boar Rushes Downhill” gave way to “Moon on the Water” her lithe blade dancing through the air. Sweat began to drip from the twelve year old’s brow, from the repeated motion, when she heard her mother’s correcting voice, ”Dragging feet never finish the journey my love. Use your hips on these movements, that’s where your strength and speed come from.” The slightly plump woman, Tehn’s mother Dendial, then demonstrated the forms with surprising quickness and controlled power, ”The hips, proper sword work begins with the hips. Now try it again.”
Two Years ago
Tehn’s, large, extended family sat at the long table that had been set up outside, close to the pastures. It was the perfect summer day, the ninth day of Saven and her family gathered in celebration of Dahan, the holiday marking the anniversary of the final victory in the Trolloc Wars. It was a momentous occasion, as her brother, Rikken, was just chosen to ride under the Banner of the Red Horse and her cousin Drude was beginning work at the mines. As excited as Tehn was for her family she was even more grateful to be sitting next her grandparents, Eran and Elenora. Tehn never grew tired of grandfather’s stories.
One Year ago
It wasn’t the Gleeman’s silky voice, nor his tight britches, that Tehn first noticed while he preformed at the Blue Rose inn in Canluum. It was his eyes, the Gleeman Osaul Dyl, had eyes so green they seemed to penetrate to her very soul. The Kandori woman became infatuated with the Gleeman’s worldly knowledge as well as his silver tongued descriptions of his adventures. She began looking for excuses to be around the Gleeman spending all her free time with the storyteller. Eventually, they became lovers, and when Osaul told her he was leaving for the south, to Illian, to join the Great Hunt she quickly volunteered to go with him. Fearing her family’s protest Tehn left in the middle of the night with no warning and a hastily written note to explain her actions.
Two weeks ago
Tehn was seething, she had been a fool to trust the man, the philanderer. Osaul was caught in the arms of another woman, and not for the first time. It seemed in every city between the borderlands and Illian there was an indiscretion with Osaul and another woman. His trysts became more frequent and less discreet the farther from Kandor they traveled. This was the last straw Tehn was determined to swear the oath without him…
…. The resolute woman was startled from her reminiscing by some loud laughter. Kittens tangle your yarn, men tangle your wits, and it's simple as breathing for both, she cursed ruefully while she took another sip of the fine red she had been nursing.
