The mixing of the Ashryver and Galathynius bloodlines had a promise of power, and his queen wished to know just what manner of power the young princess held. She had been sending correspondence to Terrasen since the birth of the princess, trying to convince Evalin to bring her child back to her homelands of Wendlyn, but every time, she refused.
