The royal match binding Castal and Remere — Tavard III to Lady Armandra, daughter of the Count of Remeralon.
The wedding of Prince Tavard III and Lady Armandra of Remeralon capped the victory celebrations at Timberwatch and formalised the Castali–Remeran alliance underpinning the new Kingdom of Castalshar. Held in Castabriel at the royal court, it was the great political wedding of the post-invasion era. Minalan attended and was among many who noted Armandra's apparent unsuitability as a future queen: "Tavard had not wed with intelligence in mind."
The marriage produced a short-lived first son who died in infancy, a period of deep depression for Armandra, and eventually the infamous Book 15/16 scandal in which Armandra conceived while in captivity at Wilderhall — resulting in Minalan's baby-swap scheme to preserve the succession.
