Rantan Taggah was talonmaster of the Clan of the Claw. As the Ice Age was ending, Taggah realized that the Clan, which included many not-yet-naturalized members who were survivors of the floods, would have to travel to the northern continent to survive. To do this, they would have to circumvent the New Water, a journey which involved passing through the lands of the fearsome Liskash.

Stirling in By Tooth and Claw: Clan of the Claw, volume two.
