In his depravity he began to treat with a number of the enemy, forming closest ties with the nearby city of Altazan. Over time he coerced much of his military to follow him, promising power, and discontent grew in Ulthandros.
Lokoss was the son of Shalanon, King of Anonur. When he and his brother Silicca went north to find the cause of their father’s illness they witnessed great and terrible things.
The ploy of the slaves was fruitful, but Aerion knew not that Balteros abstained from the Solthari and when he saw the betrayer ride in fury with the 'Black House' he laid down his scythe and his heart was stricken.
