Editing Tarnum (section)

=== {{homm4}} ===
During the [[Reckoning]], Tarnum makes his way to [[Axeoth]], where he continues watching over his foster son, [[Waerjak]], who aspires to unite his scattered people and become the new Barbarian King. During [[Waerjak]]'s adventures, Tarnum is actually slain by a rogue warlord named [[Vogel Backbreaker]]. He does not return to [[Axeoth]] immediately, as he enters [[Paradise]] to be judged by the [[Ancestors]] for the second and final time.

In the midst of his mentor and foster father's apparent death, [[Waerjak]] continues to unite the tribes into one community, following Tarnum's advice. Eventually, he reaches [[Vogel]]'s lair and slays the warlord in revenge. [[Waerjak]] then realizes that [[Vogel]]'s death will not bring Tarnum back - until Tarnum emerges from the depths of the cavern. He finally reveals his immortality and the nature of his return to the stunned [[Waerjak]], proceeding to tell his foster son the 'Chronicles' of his long life. It turns out that the [[Ancestors]] had decided to allow him to enter [[Paradise]] at last, but Tarnum refused their offer, preferring to remain as a protector of the mortals he had lived among for so long.
