Landing in the southern Riverlands with a host of Andalic warriors, Vorian refused to wait for ambition to find him. He ambushed Lord Darry’s heirs at their land, slaying one son and scattering the rest. Though he plans to kills every Darry son and claim their lands outright, he also eyes an alliance: first with Lord Armistead Vance or make a deal with some First Men barbarian kings before King Tristifer Mudd arrives.
