That, [[spoiler: coupled with what was likely a sudden shift in the people's behaviour after Rye changes the past]], drove him to be fixated on the idea that Chieftain Farr was the enemy of Weld and had to die. When Rye and the others try to get in his way, he quickly becomes violent towards them.

[[spoiler:He was half right.

160
161!!Chieftain Farr
162The Chieftain of the people beyond the Wooden Door.
163* BabiesEverAfter: Has a son by Janna, named Zak.
164* BerserkButton: Never harm Janna or Zak, or Farr will be very, very angry. Janna and Zak's poisoning is the thing which finally convinces him to go to war with the Fellan once and for all, because he is so furious that they (or so he assumes) would try to harm those whom he cares deeply about.
165* HappilyMarried: To Janna.
166* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is this to the people of Nerra. Though he is an antagonist in ''The Third Door'', and irrational in his hatred of the Fellan whom he believes have tried to kill his loved ones, he is generally a good, fair leader and well-respected.
167
168!!Janna
169Chieftain Farr's wife. She came to Dorne from Deltora some time before the series begins, [[spoiler: and is a descendant of the people of Fleet, who fled to Deltora to found D'Or during Olt's time.]]
170* BabiesEverAfter: Farr and Janna have one son, a young boy named Zak.

172* SilkHidingSteel: Though she appears to be soft and weak, she ends up being determined, brave and strong, and ready to fight for what she believes in. In ''The Third Door'', she goes with Petronelle to Farr's ship, where Farr and his men are preparing to annihilate the Fellan forever, and tries to convince the men to stop what they are doing, not caring about the danger to herself.
173
174!!Petronelle
175A Half-Fellan maid who looked after Janna in her youth. She now looks after Janna and Farr's son Zak.
176
177!!Carryl
178The former Chieftain. After her term, she became head of the New Nerra museum.
179* CharacterDeath: She is killed by [[spoiler: an enemy of Dorne in ''The Third Door''.]]
180* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Is considered to be this by many of Farr's advisors, as she keeps trying to convince Farr to honour a treaty which Farr and the other traders think is a legend and made-up. Most think she is going senile because of her old age and don't take her seriously. Farr at least seems like he may be willing to listen, as he does respect Carryl as a former Chieftan of Nerra, but he doesn't believe in the treaty any more than his advisors do.
181
182[[/folder]]
183
184[[folder: The Fellan]]
