Fanacas ca. 2E 582

Tharanus Ye Redde-Hand was a contemporary of Alessia, Morihaus and Pelinal Whitestrake and one of the earliest known Nedic ancestors of the modern noble Imperial family, House Tharn of Cheydinhal.

Tharanus Ye Redde-Hand was mentioned in the Tamrilean Tractates by Khosey. He was described as a slave overseer employed by the Ayleids of Fanacas, the mining hold in the hills north of modern-day Cheydinhal. According to House Tharn historians, he was probably literate and employed in some clerical capacity, due to the fact that Ayleids were known to have kept their business records in red ink.

According to Lady Euphemia Glaber's theory Tharanus and notorious Tharhan, the Mutilant of the Gradual Massacre in 1E 227 were the same person. This theory was disproved by the text of the "Scroll of Precursor Saints" discovered in the vaults below the White-Gold Tower by Chancellor Abnur Tharn in 2E 541. According to Chancellor Abnur the theory was coined by dishonest scholars who distorted the few texts that remained from the times of the Alessian Slave Rebellion for slanderous political purposes. The rare texts found by Abnur revealed that Tharanus was a critical supporter of Alessia's cause. Tharanus was responsible for the disruption of supply routes through forged logistical orders and even leading his own battalion into some of the war's bloodiest conflicts.
