Broyan of Whitewall has fulfilled ancient prophecies and was given the sacred Sword and Helm of Vingkot by Great Orlanth himself. He returned from the Otherworld marked with the dangerous but sacred tattoos of the Kodigvari bloodline — a line of kings descended directly from Orlanth — marking him as the most magically important Orlanthi since Harmast Barefoot.
Lunar Empire sorcerers and Esrolian Grandmothers alike dread the return of a Kodigvari, but the Orlanthi rapturously welcomed the news.
In 1617 Broyan defeated the six guardians appointed by Belintar and resurrected the Kingdom of the Hendriki at the sacred fortress of Whitewall.
As High King of the Hendrikings, Broyan is now leader of all free Orlanthi and widely viewed as King Vingkot returned and the fate of the Orlanthi people is in his hands.
King Broyan is far from the Red Cow — but many who long for freedom will consistently refer to him as the great hope for their liberation. Rebel leaders, such as Kallyr Starbrow, refer to orders and direction from Broyan.
