Biography
Taeryn Alec Maerig was born on July 22, FY 1170. He was taken to be trained by the School of Arcanites as an infant. His father brought him up under the surname Tantrell, as a means to hide from the Fist of Angoth, though the ruse failed. Taeryn's family was betrayed when he was nine and the Fist summoned a Sha'haran to murder them. Instructor Patrik Aruvious intervened and saved Taeryn's life, but it was too late for his parents. He never learned his true last name until he was much older.

In July of 1196, as a young man, he was still struggling to control his magic. During one practice period, the School was attacked in a supposed assassination attempt by the Fist of Angoth. Taeryn fled with Patrik Aruvious. Meanwhile Suzetta picked up her last job as an assassin, she is informed by a man named Jarod that Aruvious and Taeryn are evil warlocks. She takes the job because she saw Taeryn in a prophetic dream. By the time they meet, Suzetta knows the truth, Aruvious intends to use a witch magic to trap Taeryn's soul so he can deliver him to Raeldrek and be rewarded when the Dead Lord returns. Suzetta helps Taeryn escape Aruvious, helps him escape the Fist of Angoth as well. Later, she's captured by Jarod (who is actually Taloth, one of Raeldrek's lieutenants from the War of the Necromancer) and held as bait for Taeryn. Taeryn rescues her and defeats Taloth. They get married.

They have a daughter named Sophie on the Winter Solstice festival of FY1198 (December 25). In January, Sarastae Sindallah kidnaps Sophie and Raeldrek returns to his power. The Second War begins and it ends with the destruction of Raeldrek, which in process also destroys the Heart of Magic, thus making it such that no mortal can use magic ever again.

Taeryn and Suzetta either go home to live a happy life or Suzetta dies and Taeryn goes home to raise Sophie.
