The Ilald (pronounced EYE-lahld) were a targai Abaniri tribe who lived north of Shar Tulya. Sometime prior to Y9976* they began to engage in necromancy, a taboo on the steppe, which attracted the attention of other tribes. In an effort to halt knowledge of their practices from becoming known, and to avoid the violence that would bring, the tribe attacked two orduri who were carrying messages telling of their activities. Though they slew one of the messengers, Yaldru, the other survived, and was later encountered by a caravan traveling the Hundred Days Road. This messenger, Ratna, convinced the caravan to bring the Ilald to justice by slaying their leaders. Successful in this task, the caravan scattered the remains of the tribe, who then functionally ceased to exist.
