Koarsden Taneth

Koarsden Taneth was a priest of the Cult of D'rek - the 'Worm of Autumn' - in Kartool City of Kartool Island. The personable and likable Koarsden - with his "ready smile" and easy laugh - was described as getting along with just about anyone. He had a "long, hound-like head", the eyebrows of which he wore shaven.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 2, US TPB p.27-30 The young priest was tall, with a bearing that was full of dignity and composure. His robes were usually faultlessly "immaculate". Koarsden was a close friend of his fellow priest of D'rek, Tayschrenn.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 10, US TPB p.203-205
==In Deadhouse Landing==
Koarsden took the responsibilities of being a priest of D'rek seriously and always tried to present himself as a good example to others - encouraging others, especially Tayschrenn, to do the same.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 2, US TPB p.27-28/30
Due to internal politics within the Cult, Tayschrenn was unjustly brought to trial accused of a number of unsavory deeds and criminal acts against the Cult, and Koarsden was unfortunately called as a witness. Koarsden was pressured and maneuvered via "physical and emotional torture" into giving damaging testimony against his friend. Koarsden was treated as a 'hostile witness' and he was not even allowed to give any background or contextual information that would have given his evidence against Tayschrenn a more positive and far more truthful slant.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 10, US TPB p.203-205
