 +Forestwynd had secretly been visiting his beloved Princess Persephone of Tristen and on his way to delivering the Offering, he was met by Persephone. She broke off the relation, to fulfill her duty to the kingdom. Forestwynd'​s heart was crushed, and he hid the Offering before meeting Arrow. The great dragon slew Forestwynd in a fiery blast that brought daylight to the night sky, and then laid waste to the four kingdoms. Sadness consumed Persephone and her spirit eventually left her as the ruler of the wastelands. Even today Persephone and her "​sister"​ reign over the Fellstone Fields.
