Taran met Llassar and his father Drudwas Son of Pebyr at Commot Isav, one of the smallest Commots of that free-born region. The men of the village were meeting about an ensuing raid on the community by Dorath and his ill-favored band of sell-swords. Taran suggested a plan of defense that would surprise the spoilers and turn them away. The men -- including Drudwas and Llassar -- agreed to the plan, despite Taran's being a stranger to them.
