abstract
| - Much of Taran's childhood remains shrouded in mystery, including who his mother was and much of his first few years. His father was known better to the Galaxy abroad than to his own son however, the man known to the Galaxy abroad as Wanderer but who went by many other names had hidden his son from public view on Bakura. Because of the nature of his travels Wanderer was often away, what time he spent at home he spent training Taran in the Imperial Guard and Mandalorian styles of fighting along with political strategies and how to react under pressure. While he was away Taran was in the hands of various tutors whom Wanderer knew from his old days with the Mandos and Imperials. The Father and Son relationship became strained by long absences and awkward time together, Wanderer treated his son like he was an apprentice or a subordinate, with detatchment and sternness, whereas the son treated the father as another tutor and a passing spectre of the past. Taran knew eventually that his father would not return, and that a message would greet him instead of the old man, a thought that increasingly came to him more and more over his young life.

The sense of danger from the enchantresses grew more palpable, for the Assistant Pig-Keeper had nothing to offer them in trade. Yet Orddu hinted that he might find what he sought in the Mirror of Llunet. In his ensuing travels, Taran took a sojourn in King Smoit's kingdom, had his stallion Melynlas stolen, helped a farmer reclaim what was his, rescued Doli and foiled the scheme of the wizard Morda, traveled through the inhospitable Hill Cantrevs, ran afoul of the despicable bandit Dorath, kept the shepherd Craddoc company, and learned new skills among the master craftsmen of the Free Commots, before coming at last to view himself in the Mirror -- even as he learned the truth about himself.
