Varth served as a squadleader in Brightlord [[Sheler]]'s company within Amaram's army{{book ref|sa1|67}} when it fought in a variety of small border conflicts with Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]]'s rival highprinces, as well as the [[Reshi Isles]] and the nation of [[Jah Keved]].{{book ref|sa1|47}} During one battle, Varth's squad was in need of reinforcements, so a messenger boy, [[Tien]], and two other young boys were sent to him.{{book ref|sa1|67}} Tien and his companions knew little of combat, so Varth placed them front and center in his squad's formation. Varth was ordered by a messenger from Amaram to defend against attacks from the east. When the enemy troops reached them, Varth's squad pulled back, leaving Tien and his companions alone at the front, where they were swiftly slaughtered. They broke the momentum of the enemy's charge though, allowing Varth's squad to defeat them.▼
