The entire clan died out in the, when a massive tidal wave engulfed the city of Velen, slaughtering half of the town's population. (Even as late as, ghosts from Clan Tarseth still haunted the manor house of Millvuthan, then owned by the count of Firedrake. On Midsummer's night, the anniversary of the tidal wave, the screams of all the drowning souls and the roar of the wave itself could be heard in the physical realm. )

After –133, The clan's lands became a royal protectorate overseen by Prince Tyrom Ithal.
