Once again I find myself called
upon to write a page for one of my people. Captain deDanaan is too busy
working with the "lads & lasses" as he calls the Baronial Guard, to do
this himself - or so he says! He might just feel that he is unequal to
the task of writing about himself without sounding vain. This time I
truly regret having to do this, for the Captain’s story seems lacking when
not told in his own colorful dialect. Nevertheless, I will give it a try.
Upon first meeting Tiger and his
brothers - Wolf, Bear, Falcon, and the rest of the family, one might
assume that the matriarch of Clan deDanaan was possessed of either an
impish sense of humor or an overwhelming fondness for menageries. This is
not so. The deDanaan brothers are called by the names of their spirit
animals. Tiger is easy to spot by both his kilt and the outline of a
tiger’s paw on his face. Sometimes it glows - the paw, not the kilt.
The seven brothers deDanaan
arrived in Tyrangel a couple of years ago. Most of them have drifted away
since, but Tiger has chosen to stay here. He spends most of his time
drilling with the guard and blushing when barmaids flirt with him in Manath’s many taverns. He is utterly devoted to
his work, so much so that he forgets to sleep. His hard work has been
rewarded and Marentha’s Baronial Guard has become a well organized unit.
