Terb+Fendurrin

Terb Fendurrin
Cyran bard and Mourning refugee. Last known residence: Starilaskur in northern Breland, at a House Ghallanda inn. Before that, in late 997 YK, he had spent time in New Cyre.

A Khoravar (half-elf) distantly affiliated with House Phiarlan -- he used Phiarlan agents to book gigs in Starilaskur and Wroat -- Fendurrin was skilled with the guitar, and had recently assumed the stage name "Tago of Eston," a reference to the Cyran national dance and the destroyed city of his birth. There were rumors among the refugee community (repeated by a Ghallanda tavern owner in Wroat), that "Tago" had developed a new act, an "edgy" and "dark" comedy/music sketch about The Mourning.

Terb Fendurrin died on the Lightning Rail between Starilaskur and Wroat, after being struck on the head with his own guitar and mauled by stowaway Redcaps in a cargo cart. His body was found near that of another Cyran, an army veteran named Gilson Moab. Moab's body had words carved into it, a calling card of the so-called Slayer of Cyre's Children.

Was Terb/"Tago" another victim? The Slayer himself, driven to suicide by grief and regret? A copycat? Who knows?
