+ | More than twenty years before the events of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], Dedelin made a treaty with the Hallandren Court to keep it from invading Idris. This treaty said that he must send his daughter to marry the God King of Hallandren when Vivenna reached her twenty-second birthday. But although she was raised, educated, and trained for this purpose, he could not bring himself to let her go and decided to send [[Siri]] instead.{{book ref|wb|1}} |
A few weeks before he sent Siri to [[T'Telir]], Dedelin sent [[Lemex]] there as his spymaster. He agreed to send Lemex funds to purchase Breath in order to further his role as an information source, since Lemex would need sufficient amounts of Breath to gain access to the Court of Gods. However, Dedelin was unaware that Lemex was already embezzling money from him.{{book ref|wb|17}} |

This is a clear example of the way Dedelin treats Vivenna differently than Siri, which in turn affects both his and Vivenna's relationship with the youngest royal.{{book ref|wb|1}} |
