===Gossip===
;Shadowmoon Valley
Gidwin and I were out fishing when those things showed up and attacked us.
We would be dead for sure if wasn't for these draenei.
I would have killed them myself but somebody needed to carry Gidwin back to camp... foolish little dwarf.
;Dragonscale Basecamp
Gidwin and I have been travelling the world since the Legion's defeat. I was particularly fond of our drinking tour of Horde capitol cities. Did you know there are some lovely new places to get a drink in Suramar?
And though our time was cut short by the war, we had a wonderful time in Silvermoon. I think Gidwin rather likes the finery there. Of course, sneaking out of the city was an entirely different adventure.
I'll always enjoy getting into and out of trouble with him.
==Notes and trivia==
*He appears to be somewhat young (especially by elven standards), as he notes that he would often sneak into the Ghostlands to do battle with the undead in his youthWhat I Do Best - the Ghostlands only claiming that name a few short years ago.
*Up until his appearance in , he was never tagged with the Argent Crusade reputation faction, despite joining them in the Eastern Plaguelands storyline.
*Tarenar was initially planned to be a follower. He has an invisible Follower recruiting spell with the following description: (the text is copied from 's own recruiting spell)
*Tarenar's relationship and friendly rivalry with his dwarven companion Gidwin Goldbraids may be a reference to Legolas and Gimli of the Lord of the Rings fame. Their racial descent and casual banter about who has killed the most undead seems to be a nod to this.
==Relatives==
He may be related to Larissa Sunstrike and Tyrnokos Sunstrike.
