Tsanaali was a young Dragonlord of the e'Lanya line, and a lieutenant under Kâna. He was trained in, among other things, small-scale combat tactics. Tsanaali was tasked with preventing Zerika from retrieving the Orb. At this point in time, Pel was still working for Kâna, and it was he who guided Tsanaali to South Mountain. However, Pel and Tsanaali had certain harsh words with each other, leading to great and lethal animosity between them. Shortly after that, Pel defected to Zerika's side, because his old friends Khaavren, Tazendra and Aerich were supporting her.
