'''Yarda''' is the general of the [[Idris|Idrian]] armies. He is a burly man and had a thick beard. He is also an old friend of King [[Dedelin]].{{book ref|wb|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. Conferences with Yarda and Dedelin usually lasted hours.

Yarda and Dedelin could see no long term solution against [[Hallandren]].{{book ref|wb|17}} Every year more voices in Hallandren called for an assault on what they called "rebel Idrians."{{book ref|wb|1}} Yarda said that Idris's northern passes were a target too good for Hallandren to pass up. Additionally, with Hallandren and Idris's split following the [[Manywar]], Hallandren wanted a royal daughter to reintroduce the traditional royal bloodline into the Hallandren monarchy.
