Kiin was popular with the military men, however, because of the heroic figure he cut. He was the adventuring sailor, while Eventeo was a scholarly bureaucrat. Over the next few years, Kiin managed to gather a naval force from pirates, deserters from Eventeo's armies, and mercenary forces. It was during this time he nearly died to the accident that crushed his throat. He took the name "Dreok," after Aon Reo("punishment."), and sailed against Teod, trying to take the throne by force. He fought with an axe transcribed with the [[Aon#Reo|Aon Reo]].{{book ref|elantris|58}}
Eventeo won the battle, though only barely. Kiin barely escaped with his life, and went to Arelon to recoup and plan his next invasion. However, he fell in love with Daora, and slowly began to loose his hard edge.{{wob ref|2194}} He and [[Daora]] sired two children, [[Kaise]] and [[Daorn]]. He acted as a father to Daora's other two children from a different marriage, [[Lukel]] and [[Adien]]. Kiin became a merchant and using his experience from his travels, Kiin was very successful.{{
Kaise was borne around the time of the [[Reod]]. Daora and Kiin were horrified by the violent servant uprising in the Reod, and never hired servants again. As Kiin was very rich, he was offered a title by Iadon multiple times, but he always refused it. Daorn was born about two years after the Reod. Three years later, Adien was taken by the Shaod. Unwilling to have him thrown into the city, the family concealed Adien's condition with makeup and kept him close to home.{{
When Sarene was a little girl, she couldn't pronounce "Uncle Kiin," and nicknamed him "Hunkey Kay."{{book ref|elantris|5}}
