Taggle was born in a holt in the northlands. Unofrtunatley, it was winter, and food was scarce and few. The holt was under constant threat of vermin attack. One day, a humongus vermin raider sailed up the cost, the crew numbering 200 in all. They let half off down the beach, and sailed on to make a pincer movement. The very young and very old of taggles holt were taken to a safe place. Unfortunatley, te safe place was found by the vermin, and it was almost a complete massacre. The last Taggle saw of his father, he was leading a final charge against the vermin. His mother was peirced through the heart by an arrow. Taggle did not understand death and in his wirds she " wudn't wake's up." The holt was captured and destroyed by the vemin, who cornered Taggle and knocked him senseless, taking him aboard their ship as a slave, a very hard life. For his insolence, and unability to do the tasks required on a ship ( which no dibbun could do) He was tied to the mast, right before an impending storm. The captains famouys last words to him were " maybe this will take some of the spunk out of ye. brat!" Taggle was forced to sit there. tied to a mast, enduring the harsh rains and th booming thunder. It came down in sheets, soaking Taggle to the bone. This is where Taggles fear of storms would come from. With an ungodly "crack!" lightning struck the mast Taggle was tied to, snapping it in two. The mast fell into the sea, dragging the unfortunate Taggle with it. By clinging to a mast spar for days, he survived, without food or water. Days later, he washed up at the mouth of the river moss.
