He falls in love with Lanen, who he marries in the Kantri style within days of meetin her, and in the Gedri style a month or so afterwards. He fathers two children, twins, to Lanen before their official Gedri marriage, and the children are born at the end of the book.

Overview
Born as Akhor, a silver-scaled Kantri, or dragon, he became king at a young age due to her never-before-seen scale color. He always had a longing to interact with members of another race, and was facinated by one lansip gatherer who came with a shipful of Gedri. He falls in love with this girl, Lanen, who also longs to speak with those of another race. Unfortunately, none of his race look upon their relationship with sympathy.
