Heraldry
The Tarren shield consists of four blue chevrons on a white background, a pattern also known as chevronny in later periods. The shield form varies through the ages but the pattern and colors remain.
Tarren heraldry has been around since the Battle of Carlion, where Ceiwyn was given a shield for his family as a reward for capturing the Irish cheiftan Niall's banner on the battlefield. The shield is inherited by the eldest son always, and cannot be modified in anyway by siblings, children or kin.
The pattern is taken from the lambda symbol found in Spartan shields, and the proud family members sometimes claim to be related to spartan warriors protecting Salis when he came to the island. But these are just rumours, no line can be tracked and few others than the Tarren's themselves think any of it. Most don't know who the spartans were anyway.
History
The Tarren has been in the service of the local lords in Salisbury for many generations, as warriors, guards and fighters. But only recently they were given lands by the lord of Sarum the Rock, to guards and hold in his stead. They are firm believers that the family on Sarum the Rock is descendants to Brutus the Trojan himself, who gave his name to Britain. And they believe that serving him, is serving the island. Many in the family even say that they are descendants from the bodyguards that Salis himself brought with him from Troy when he took the land. No-one really knows.
Roman period
Nothing much has changed in the family, for the many generations they have served. They have lived in the manors, houses and castles of their lords and has been ever watchful and loyal. The family stayed much the same through the ages.
Ceiwyn rules the family
Some say that the first time the family changed, was when Aed married Irish-woman with flaming red hair. Their son, Ceiwyn, was passionate and strong. He was willing to die for his family and for his lord. And the lord of Sarum the Rock saw this strength in him and took him with him to the battles in the north. In the Battle of Carlion the young man fought with great bravery and the Lord of the Rock gave him land of his own, for his family to rule in perpetuity.
