Nemeredes the Elder (? AC - Autumn, 393 AC), also known as Old Nemeredes, was a male Abanasinian Centaur living in Darken Wood, and was chieftain of the Soaring Mane Tribe. He had a silver mane, a hoary, braided beard, an age-lined face, chestnut hide that was frosted white in his later years, and strong. He had three sons, Nemeredes the Younger, Gyrtomon, and Trephas.
Chaos War[]
During the Chaos War, Nemeredes swore to not oppose the Knights of Takhisis at the order from the Forestmaster. Chrethon chose to oppose this, and Nemeredes was there when he was sentenced to daicheiron.
Dezra's Quest[]
In 393 AC, he was still a member of the Circle of Four, and was attempting to free his people from the Skorenoi Centaur attacks. He hoped that with the help of Caramon Majere and his daughter Dezra Majere they could get back Soulsplitter to defeat Grimbough. He was able to escape when the Skorenoi attacked them in the Battle of Ithax, and put his son in charge of the warriors. At the Battle of Darkwater River, he was finally slain when Leodippos used a club to strike him in the jaw, breaking his neck.
