Bel'Tasq

"How far would a Bel'Tasq go?""Beyond the hills, beyond the snow,""How far would a Bel'Tasq trail?""Close to waist, through heath and hail,""How long would a Revin call?"" 'Fore Bel'Tasq comes to man the wall""Not long, not long, the Bel'Tasq flies""To Revin's side, to stand and die."The ancient legend says that the ancestors of Revin and Bel'Tasq were the closest of companions to one another, and when one fell and battle and his soul entered the underworld, the other journeyed into the underworld to retrieve his best friend's soul.

The guardian of the underworld, the Weaver of Fate, moved by their bond and the courage of the journeyer, permitted the soul to return to the world above, but one friend had to serve the other until the end of time. The bargain was struck, and the two returned to the world of the living, and the House of Bel'Tasq served the House of Revin ever since.

Unfortunately, one of the Bel'Tasq left his charge unguarded during the Battle of Woln, resulting in the breaking of the ancient vow. For his transgression, his name was stricken from the family records, and he was executed by the mother of his charge.

Some years later, members of the Bel'Tasq noticed that none of them were able to bear children, with most of the mothers unable to carry a child to term, and those that could either had their child live only for a few hours, and they and their child would die soon after birthing. Eventually, there were no living Bel'Tasq to serve the Revin, and House Revin fell into ruin.
