Vorcan Dryland

Line 8:

A man of bounteous loins and numerous wives, Vorcan sired two dozen children—or near enough as to make no difference. Vorcan was said to have placed enormous value on his family, but the tragedy of his reign is that he outlived eight of his fifteen sons. The first was his eighth-born son who died sickly in the cradle. Three of his four eldest sons—Darren, Lucifer, and Gaynor—were all slain in a single battle fighting the Daynes of the Torrentine when Vorcan was a man of middling age; not a one of them living to see their twentieth nameday.

Over twenty years later, Vorcan's son Vorcan was slain in a battle by an Yronwood. Two short years after that, Vorcan's eldest living son, Derlyn—who had always been of ill-health—finally succumbed to his frailty. Finally, when the Longshanks was in his winter years, his son Godry died suddenly and unexpectedly of unknown causes and his youngest son, Denzel, was slain in a duel by [[Caston Dayne|Caston Dayne]]. ~~Finally having~~ suffered enough grief, the old king marched into the desert to die of thirst walking amongst his gods.
