Biography[]
King Orrec and King Maven meet in the middle of the Choke to decide how they will end the Lakelander War and form an alliance to defeat the Scarlet Guard.
The terms of the alliance include: the Choke divided evenly, the old borders maintained and opened for travel, the Lakelands will have equal use of the Capital River and the Eris Canal. Orrec requires Maven to marry his daughter, Princess Iris Cygnet, to secure his trust. Maven agrees and proposes to Iris, who says yes.
During the wedding of Iris and Maven, the Scarlet Guard slips in and starts attacking Silvers. Mare Barrow escapes with the Scarlet Guard, while Iris, Maven, and Orrec escape the wrath of the Scarlet Guard.
During the battle of Corvium, Orrec was killed by Salin Iral, leaving behind his wife, Queen Cenra Cygnet, and their daughters.
