'''Gevalden''', nicknamed '''Gevin''', is a prince of the Kingdom of [[Elis]] on the Darkside of [[Taldain]] and the former fiancé of [[Khrissalla]]. He is currently known as the Lord Beggar '''Nilto''', the unofficial [[Taisha]] of the beggars of [[Lossand]].{{book ref|ws3|2}}
== History ==
Gevalden was the second son of the king of Elis, and was betrothed to the Duchess Khrissalla in an important political arrangement before his untimely death.{{book ref|ws1|3}} Gevalden journeyed to [[Dayside]] in search of the mythical [[sand mastery|sand mages]], who are reputed by Darksider children's stories to hold many magical powers.{{book ref|ws1|3}} Khriss believed that he sought to recruit or use the sand mages as a weapon to undermine the [[Dynasty]].{{book ref|ws2|6}}
News of Gevin's death prompted his fiancée to organize her own journey to Dayside in search of the sand mages and the truth behind Gevalden's death.{{book ref|ws1|3}} After arriving in [[Kezare]], Khriss met with [[Loaten]] who informed her that, Gevalden reached Kezare as well but gave up on his original goal before he died. Loaten was reluctant to share more details with Khrissalla, but implicated the Dynasty.{{book ref|ws1|5}} Khriss supposed that Gevin must also have met with the [[Lossand]]in [[Taishin]] during his time in Kezare.{{book ref|ws1|6}} Upon her discovery of the sand masters, she assumed that he must have found the [[Diem]] as well and petitioned them for help, though [[Kenton]] has no records of such a meeting.{{book ref|ws2|1}} Upon her first encounter with [[Nilto]], the Lord Beggar gave her Gevalden's pistol and ring, but refused to explain why they were in his possession.{{book ref|ws2|2}}
==Relationships==
=== Khrissalla===
While their engagement was arranged for political reasons, Gevalden's pet name for her, Khriss, suggests the prince held personal affection for the duchess.{{book ref|ws1|3}} Khriss's own grief over her fiancé's death suggests that she returned the sentiment.{{book ref|ws2|5}}
=== Loaten ===
Gevalden associated with Loaten after reaching Kezare, and the two apparently became friends to some degree, as evidenced by Loaten's use of the prince's nickname, Gevin.
