Tam

The youngest of seven children. She was one of the three women under Watch-Master Hoth. She had brown hair. She was sent under Rathe to find Seth's lost caravan. She wore broad brimmed hat, sword and dagger, light armor, shield strapped on a back.

The rain did not help them locate any traces. Orvig Stonemelter showed up and told them to get back to the Fort Thunder. Before doing so, they discovered the butchered remnants of the caravan.

After reporting to Hoth and burying the bodies, they moved to camp. Rathe, Loric and Calvert were in the rear guard with Orvig beside them.

They camped some miles away but at dawn they were attacked by Tse'Mara. Tam was confused and could not find her shield. Some of the creatures entered the circle and Tam killed one but she lost her sword, before saved by Rathe.

When Rathe was wounded, the soldiers managed to kill 5 creatures before they fled. Tam salvaged a map of Khera Vale from Hoth's body. Tam with the few survivors, Orvig, Loric, Quin, Dren and perhaps Nam went to Fort Thunder and assumed command. They broke out the javelins from the fort's store but kept everyone inside, as a precaution and installed themselves in the west tower. She cared for Rathe as he recovered.

Together they inspected the Fort and went to Orvig who performed autopsy to the creatures. Tam organized the defenses shutting the gates and the windows, and having torches burning all the time.

The next day Rathe orders Tam with Loric and Quin to carry word back to Stonekeep. Tam insists that she should come with him to investigate or hen and the savages, but Rathe believes that Orvig knows the woods better.
