▲'''Yarda''' was the general of the [[Idris|Idrian]] armies. He was a burly man and had a thick beard. He was also an old friend of King [[Dedelin]].{{ref|b|wb|c|1}} Dedelin referred to him as "a harsh man born of harsh winters," but also as good of a man as Dedelin had ever known. Yarda would not hesitate to send one soldier to die if it meant that the rest of the army was in a better position to attack.
[[Parlin]] was Yarda's son.{{ref|b|wb|c|9}} Dedelin often wished Parlin could marry his daughter, [[Vivenna]], but this was not possible, as Dedelin had made a treaty with Hallandren to send his daughter on Vivenna's twenty-second birthday.▼

Yarda and Dedelin could see no long term solution against [[Hallandren]].{{book ref
Dedelin had hoped that [[Vahr]] and his [[Pahn Kahl]] soldiers would draw Hallandren's attention away from Idris, but Vahr was eventually captured, and had only served to make Hallandren more focused on its enemies.
Dedelin decided to not send Vivenna, but instead send Siri to placate Hallandren. He knew sending the wrong daughter would anger Hallandren, but at least they would not immediately attack.
Vivenna knew that Yarda would be better suited to rule during wartime than Vivenna, which made her feel like she was useless when Dedelin did not send her to Hallandren.{{book ref
