Denethyn

Denethyn was the former first-apprentic to Aeserian. He is a cunning, self-centered man with his sights on bringing Mesk and Yushen back together so that he may rule all of it. He overtook the Castle of White from the hands of Keynauth (something Keynauth allowed). He studied the books and sent out countless spies in search of the edge he needed. One of them turned up interesting.

Hearing rumors of a boy in Outcast that had none of the Seeds expected, Denethyn invaded the boy's mother's mind and dug through her thoughts. He saw that the boy was not devoid of the Seeds, but rather contained them all in equal measure. Denethyn attempted to enter the boy's mind as well, but was never able to pry his way in. He attacked the mother again and left her with the suggestion that Rais'Alon should travel to the Castle of White for training, and then he caused a cancer to form in the mother's lungs so that she would not be able to travel with him.

To ensure success, Denethyn stole the mind of a young woman (Mirnrith) and transported her to the edge of the town. She must spy on Rais'Alon and provide constant information to Denethyn or she will suffer horribly.
