Wedding · Book 11 · Thaumaturge · Resolved
The Falas political marriage that bound the restored Duchy of Alshar to the Castali crown — and formed the partnership that would run Anguin's court for the rest of the series.
The wedding of Duke Anguin II of Alshar and Princess Rardine of Castalshar took place at Falas after Anguin's Restoration. Rardine appeared "in Alshari blue and green, looking almost a wife to Anguin already"; the match cemented the tenuous peace between the Alshari ducal line and the Castali crown, and bound the Family's daughter into the southern court.
It was at this wedding that the first of the great wartime undead attacks on a political gathering occurred — draugen erupting from a hoxter-wand hidden in a guest's necklace, with Gatina, Atopol, Lord Furitus, Pentandra, and Rondal all in the fight. Queen Grendine, present for the ceremony, was genuinely terrified for the first time in decades.
