Editing Typhonian Reach Taarlak

== Name ==

Taarlak Vaar, the Teacher of Tolundria

== Description ==

Taarlak Vaar looks like a dark brown-skinned man in his 50s, complete with a full black beard with streaks of gray in it, going with his long, equally graying hair and carefully styled mustaches.
His dark eyes twinkle with jovial good humour as he overlooks his student's training in his dojo in Tolundria, The School of the Avalanche Fist, where the greatest fighters in the world are made (according to him, of course).

Even though he is in his 50s, he moves, breathes and...well, does everything with the ease of a man in the prime of his life. Even before he was bound to the word of Health, he was known for barely ever getting sick, of training well into the night, and of going out on long excursions deep into the wilderness with barely any supplies. Similarly, Taarlak was a master of unarmed combat before he was bound to the Sword and Alacrity, but now his skills have gone deep into the uncanny. He casually parries the sword-swings of entire mobs of enemy soldiers, and disarms bowmen before they can even draw their strings back. Despite this, Taarlak refuses to attack except out of defense of himself or of another, believing that unchecked aggression opens one's soul up to the corrupting influences that brought down the devil-kings and so many other strange beings.
