. Palin, come with me."
Palin and Sturm both looked rebellious, and Tanin's tone
grew stern. "Remember what Father said."
The brothers remembered. Sturm, still grumbling,
grabbed the horses' reins in his hand and led them to the
stables. Palin swallowed a barbed comment and followed
his brother.
Although quick-tempered like his mother, Tanin
appeared to have inherited few other qualities from his
parents. Instead, he was in temperament more like the man
in whose honor he had been named - his parent's dearest
friend, Tanis Half-Elven. Tanin idolized his name-father
and did his best to emulate his hero. Consequently, the
twenty-four-year-old young man took his role as leader and
elder brother quite seriously. This was fine with one
younger brother. The fun-loving Sturm was almost the
epitome of his father, having inherited Caramon's jovial,
easy-going nature. Disliking to take responsibility himself,
Sturm generally obeyed Tanin without question. But Palin,
just twenty-one, possessed the keen mind and intellect of
his uncle, the powerful, tragic archmage Raistlin. Palin
loved his brothers, but he chafed under what he considered
Tanin's overbearing leadership and was irritated beyond
measure by Sturm's less than serious outlook on life
