Will and Evanlyn have been kidnapped by the skandians after their fierce battle with lord morgarath. The ranger halt has swore to rescue his young apprentice ,and he will do anything to keep his promise---even defy his king(king Duncan).To do this he was expelled from the ranger's after he talked treason about teh king's birthright and about the king's parents.
The king was left with no choice except death or banishment.Here is part of the text,"halt."he spoke firmly,feeling every eye in the room upon him."former king's ranger of the redmont fief,i hereby,as lord of this realm of araluen,declare you to be banished from all my lands and holdings""you are forbidden ,under pain of death to set foot in this kingdom again..."he hesitated,seeing now the sadness in halt's eyes,the pain of the graying ranger could no longer hide.then he completed his statement:"...for the period of one year fom this day on."
the next day came and halt said farewell to all his friends especially Gilan ,his former apprentice before will,remembering will ,he remembered that it was him who brought so much joy and happiness into his miserable life.After the farewells he went back to the trail he was on before he was interrupted by the former friends.
