Omadin


 * During the occupation of the Dericost town of Daralet by Yalaini soldiers, Omadin the Farmer accompanied Ilservian Palacost when he was banned from the village.
 * Omadin is described as "a rough farm boy embittered by the starvation of his entire clan".
 * Ilservian Palacost's forces assault the Empire's holdings in the Haebrous continent. The Yalaini forces lead a desperate retreat from the Haebrous lands. As the remnants of the Yalaini armies try to board ships bound for the Yalaini archipelago, Emperor Caerlin I and his Heiromancer guards challenge another Shadow general, Omadin. Omadin lead an assault on the Yalaini rearguard, scattering it like chaff and scything through the weakly defended trains. Emperor Caerlin I and his forces jumped into the breach, and there fought in single combat against Omadin. Seeing his defeat imminent, Omadin called to himself the Black Madness and summons a cloud of Black Breath to his defense. Omadin was defeated and slain, but not before he infected the emperor with the Black Madness at the very moment his head was released from his body.  This poisons Caerlin, causing him agonizing pain, and in the coming years the pain increases as the patch grows and covers more of his arm, eventually driving him mad.
 * Three of the other companions of Ilservian Palacost, Isin Dule, Ferah and Ler Rhan survive the Third Sending of Darkness, the fifth, Elithra of Daralet is destroyed just like Omadin.
