merchant, Taurthalion, whose father's obsession with the Forest Ap
Folk led the merchant to become friends with Dindal. When
Taurthalion decided to lead an expedition northward into
Gundalok to assay trading possibilities with the disappearing Gramuz, Dindal accompanied him and his
motley party of adventurers. This was to be the beginning of a long and perilous road.
During their travels to Gundabad's prison warrens, the depths of Moria, the trackless wilderness of Rhudaur,
and the war-torn fields of Cardolan, Dindal honed his skills as a healer and an archer, and many were saved
by his arts.

Accepting Taurthalion's leadership in a

mercenary company, The Crimson Shield,
Dindal led the bowry, and taught many men
his skills in archery. Alone of the
companies of the Crimson Shield, Dindal's
archers for the most part survived the
disastrous Battle of Herubar Gular in T.A.
1644, and now make up the bulk of the
defense of Bereg Thumalos (the home of

the Crimson Shield). His friendship with

Taurthalion has grown stronger over the
years, but the fell and terrible moods which
seem to be overtaking the Captain
(Taurthalion) are straining their
relationship. The loss of the majority of the
other Companions has stricken Dindal with
a familiar old despair, tough he hides it
from those around him. Dindal yearns for
more healing knowledge, and may soon
leave Bereg Thumalos in search of a
Master from which to learn.
