Some minor crisis arrived at the same time as their father died, and Eventeo--thinking his brother unworthy of the throne--eased into the role of king and was crowned before Kiin. Eventeo dealt with the problems of state, and generally was a good king. When Kiin got back from his latest trip, however, he was furious to find that his crown had been stolen from him. He demanded it back, but Eventeo refused and had Kiin banished.
 
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]].{{citebook 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.{{cite}}
