Taran Skeptisson

Taran Skeptisson is a mentioned character created for the School of Dragons Website.

Tracking Down Harald Forkbeard
Taran Skeptisson tries to track down Harald Forkbeard, a notorious thief. He journeys to Auction Island to find out information about him. Auction Island is full of Dragon Hunters and other unsavory characters. Taran has taken the advice of Eret about how to conduct himself while there.

"Snarls and gnashing teeth greeted me as I entered the Auction Zone. I was surrounded by enough villains to make even the mightiest Viking’s skin crawl. Poor dragons growled weakly from cages, and a feeble Singetail clawed the bars in a hopeful attempt to escape. My heart wrenched at the terrible sight, but I kept my brows furrowed and my scowl fierce. I couldn’t pretend to have a soft spot for the dragons. Eret, Son of Eret, had advised me to be tough when dealing with these guys – one hint of weakness and I would be as good as day-old yaknog. I made a silent promise to the poor creatures to free them, but first, I needed information on Harald Forkbeard. After I track that fiend down, I will dedicate myself to outsmarting and defeating these villains in combat. I will make sure that each and every one of them pays for the pain they have caused these poor dragons. With enough luck, I could be the Viking strong enough to free Auction Island from the shackles of the dragon trade. Instead of a place for criminals to make money on suffering, it could be a haven for Vikings and their dragons. Until then, I must brave the dangers that lurk on cliffs and prowl between bushes."
