Appearance

A handsome man, Tanpala has the black hair and brown eyes common to Sildaryn. He wears his hair back in a clutch of thin braids, decorated with clay beads in many bright colours. His skin is darkly tanned. He bears a singular long ragged scar along his right shoulder, and has many smaller scars on his arms and chest. He dresses in foliage and colours appropriate to camouflage in the terrain he travels, and always carries his bow, two spears and a pair of short curved knives.

Personality

Unlike his brother Leumir, Tanpala has an agressive and impulsive nature. He seems to relish the hunt, especially regarding Jageryn, one of whom gave him the deep scar. He is most comfortable when off on his scouting runs, and has a strong bond with the Tomka, Old Mala, who lives year round with the hinta,

History

The second born son of a Sildaryn woman named Samala, Tanpala became a ranger after his mother's death during a Jageryn raid at the Stone Cleft Camp. At the age of only 12, he joined the other warriors af his hinta in tracking down and eliminating the Jageryn responsible. His bravery and desire to protect his family and community was noted, and the other rangers began training him in earnest. His older brother, Leumir, followed in his footsteps a few years later.
