Treach

Page history last edited by Eloth 13 years, 8 months ago

Treach, Trake

 

I am Treach - one of many names. Trake, the Tiger of Summer, the Talons of War. Silent Hunter.(MoI, UK MMPB, p.314)

 

The Tiger of Summer

 

Born of the soletaken ritual of the First Human Empire and survived the subsequent slaughter by the T'lan Imass. Lost inside his beast form for thousands of years, before Ascending as a First Hero.

Visions of a wolf (Togg) returned his memory as he lay dying after fighting K'Chain Che'malle Hunters.

Son of Kilava 

 

Gruntles Torcs

 

‘Anything invested – spells and the like?’ the corporal asked.

‘Anything blessed?’

‘Only by my talents, to answer your first query. I am no mage, and I 

work alone. I was fortunate, however, in acquiring a priest’s blessings on a set of three ivory torcs—’

‘What god?’

‘Treach, the Tiger of Summer.’

Picker sneered. ‘That’s not a god, you fool. Treach is a First Hero, a demigod, a Soletaken ascendant—’'

‘A new temple has been sanctified in his name,’ the old man interrupted.

‘On the Street of the Hairless Ape, in the Gadrobi Quarter – I 

myself was hired to punch the leather binding for the Book of Prayers and Rituals.’(MoI UKTpb. p43)

 

General references

 

Fiddler: 'The Emperor (Kellanved) clashed with both Treach and Ryllandaras outside Li Heng. I was there.' (DG, UK MMPB, p.92)

 

'Treach was a First Hero, an old name for an ascendant, and thats all he was. Spent most of his time battling other First Heroes, or, towards the end, wandering around in his soletaken form. If nothing untoward had happened to Treach in that form (soletaken) his ascendancy would eventually have vanished, lost in the primitive bestial mind of an oversized tiger. But something did happen - actually two things. Fener's expulsion and Treach's unusual death.' (BH UK Tpb, p.382)

 

'Treach was a First Hero', Heboric replied. 'A Soletaken who escaped the slaughter. Like Ryllandaras and Rikkter, Tholen and Denesmet.' (BH UK Tpb. p.350)

 

Trake is hot iron, a fatal flaw to my mind.
