Sheler later moved to the border to fight the [[Herdaz]]ians, and he learned their language over time. Using the invasion of his homeland by [[singer]]s as an excuse, he robbed and murdered Herdazian civilians and abused their women. When he was taken captive by the Herdazian general [[Dieno enne Calah]] (aka The Mink), he demanded the "right of ransom", but Dieno told him that he had forfeited that right by committing war crimes. Instead, Sheler was given three options for punishment: beheading by the women that he abused, being tortured with a hammer and hung from a cliff with no protection from the [[highstorm]], or wrestling "the hog". He chose to fight the hog, assuming it was a pig, and began to formulate plans to seek vengeance on the Herdazians for humiliating him. He was doused in a foul-smelling oil and left shackled on the beach as the Herdazians used a horn to summon the hog, which was actually a huge sea creature with enormous claws. Sheler saw the creature break the surface of the ocean while the Herdazians placed wagers on how long he would survive; his ultimate fate is unknown.{{book ref|sa3|i|10}}
