History of Terrekar

History of Terrekar

as told by Krynn

One of the older and longest lasting Rulers of the Union of the Covenant was Terrekar. Terrekar was one of the renowned warriors of the dream, often seen leading his troops into skirmishes, either with other houses, or the nightmares themselves. A firm adherent to the "might make right" principle, Terrekar was one of the leading shapers of the Union's philosophy on promotions.

A bi-monthly competition was held for all Initiates, where one could challenge a Ruler or Guardian and take their place if victorious. Terrekar never vacated his position from the time of his victory over former Ruler Gilt, to the time of the Great Loss. An overbearing individual, he often advised a hardline approach to conflicts among the houses, speaking for use of force to resolve quickly what often took weeks through diplomats.

He was both respected and reviled, for his methods were often shortsighted, but well executed and efficient. In addition, none could ever say that Terrekar was not forthright and honest. He spoke his mind freely and had a blade to back them up should anyone disagree.
