History[edit]
Around the year 314 PC, Tellingdwar taught a group of young Terris students about Terris traditions.[1] He later gave an evening recitation and spoke about Preservation and metal.[1]
A fifteen year old student named Asinthew, who was also known as Waxillium Ladrian, asked him about past violence in the Village. Tellingdwar told him about a murder that happened fifteen years prior, when a Terrisman had killed his wife with a gun of unknown origin.[1] Tellingdwar knew the couple personally. He told Wax that Terris were no better than other men.[1]
Tellingdwar was among a group of Terris that discovered the gruesome scene after Wax was forced to kill Forch.[1]
Trivia[edit]
- The name originated in a Mistborn Adventure Game session that Brandon played at a convention.[2] A fan dressed as a steward was given the name Tellingdwar, and Brandon later used the name in Bands of Mourning - also making the character short in stature in honor of the fan.[3]
