I like it. I was thinking that the people getting married originally
could be Roganvarth Penterestsson & Rana Riverlocks. But this added
twist just makes the whole business more tragic/interesting.
During the Shargashi assault Rana was down inside the Tor and was
dragged off to Hell along with the Shargashi when the Sea flooded
their tunnel. So she's fought her way back through Hell, Alkoth and
across half of Genertela to get back to Roganvarth's side only to
find him getting married to someone else! (Taking a season or two do
this of course).
But who is Roganvarth marrying?
