Karsa grew up on these stories, and believed that was how a true Teblor warrior was to behave. Karsa's grandfather, Pahlk Orlong, was a famed warrior who had, centuries before, gone into the lowlands from the Laederon Plateau and slain many "children", as the Teblor called lowlanders. In House of Chains Leaving the Teblor Lands Despite his enormous size, he walked quiet as a desert cat. The Teblor fought with mind-numbing speed and the cold, detached precision of a natural killer. Karsa had an unshakeable confidence and arrogant nature bolstered by his supreme combat skills. Two bone-handled daggers, each as long and broad-bladed as a short sword, were sheathed in the high moccasins that reached to just below his knees. He carried a two-handed Ironwood sword with a stone pommel and wooden grip. Above his loincloth was a wide belt decorated with shriveled ears. He wore a cloak of Bhederin hide over an armoured vest that appeared to be made of clam shells. His dark, thick hair was tied into a braid hanging down the left side of his chest and knotted with fetishes of finger bones, strips of gold-threaded silk, and bestial canines. His flat, broad face was tattooed like shattered glass and his teeth were filed. Karsa was a giant of a man, over seven feet tall and heavily muscled. Although already into his eightieth year when he set out from his village, given the long lifespan of the Teblor, Karsa was still considered a youngster within his tribe. He was the son of Synyg Orlong and the grandson of Pahlk Orlong. Karsa Orlong was a young Teblor warrior of the Uryd tribe who lived on the Laederon Plateau on the northern edge of the continent of Genabackis.
