After his Older Brother was offerd up to Amarok as tribute, and turned into the Wraith Touched Prince. Tavian asended the throne, after his father was, slain by his own brother. Who resented the act but did so anyways as proof of his loyalty. With Tavish now Amaroks puppet. Tavian was left running the kingdom, and he was faced with a difficult choice.

Follow his brother back into the mountains where his people would be subjected to training into assassination OR remain in the Arden Tree with those who refued to aline with Amarok.

Tavian chose to remain with his people. and thus the Tree of Arden was cut off from the rest of the world. Tavian ruled in his brothers stead while tavish took a number of their people into their ancestrial home up in the mountains and started training in assassination and raiseing of undead who specalized in stealth and espionage.

Meanwhile Tavian was forced to remain in the Arden Tree and preserve what was left of their people.

His rule has been fraught with sacrifice, giving up the best their people had to offer to his older brother, while mainting the IDea that his brother was protecting them from not just Amaroks forces, but the other kingdoms as well. Tavian has no idea the state of the world outside and tries to make contact. with servents and spies of his own. but its difficult. with very little news often comeing to him late or not at all.

He is all alone and with no one to help but a few trusted loyalists. Tavian dose his best to try and keep what remains of his people together. and Alive. under the dreadful rule of an undead tyrant and his trecherouse older brother Tavish.
