As part of his plan to sow chaos in the city during the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], Denth hoped to convince Fob to harvest his lands early, thereby reducing the food stores available to Hallandren during a potential war with [[Idris]]. At a meeting in a local restaurant, Denth told Fob that war was inevitable, and that an early harvest would net him a nice profit and avoid potential losses should the crops on his land be commandeered by the government. Fob did not trust Denth and was not swayed by his logic, countering that Hallandren and Idris always seemed to be on the brink of war and that harvesting early would only serve to help his competition if the two countries remained peaceful. However, [[Vivenna]] revealed her identity by displaying her [[Royal Locks]], shocking Fob and adding credibility to Denth's position. He then promised to consider Denth's proposal.{{book ref|wb|22}}

Denth contacted him in an effort to convince him to harvest his lands early, before war broke out between [[Idris]] and Hallandren. If he would do so, Fob would have made a nice profit and Hallandren would have one less source of food should they go to war. However, harvesting early would only have served to help his competition if the Idrian and Hallandren relations remained peaceful. Fob did not immediately believe Denth’s claims that war was inevitable, however after seeing proof of [[Vivenna]]’s [[Royal Locks]], he promised to consider Denth's proposal.{{book ref|wb|22}}
