The two Tologev brothers were among the 15 or 16 surviving members of the Voroshk ruling clan after their world was invaded by shadows in Soldiers Live. After the tide of shadows was mostly beaten, their relative Arkana returned to their world and was kept against her will to breed a new generation of the Voroshk clan. The two youngest Tologev brothers were posted by their elders in Rhuknavr to guard the ruins of their shadowgate in case Shukrat, another missing young female of the Family, returned as well.
When Shukrat and Croaker crossed the shadowgate to rescue Arkana, Shukrat overcame the two Tologev brothers with a sleep spell. They were then stripped of their valuable shefsepoken and rheitgeistiden and placed up in trees so they would not be killed in their sleep by roaming shadows. When Shukrat and Croaker returned with Arkana, the Tologev brothers joined their kinsmen in cursing and screaming at them from the other side of the shadowgate, unable to cross.
