Garbhan entered the Keep, at his side were Eignach, Borig, Tahara, Ulen and a dozen other Forsworn. As they approached the throne room they saw that the 9 people were all near the Jarl who were sitting on his throne. The Forsworn had their weapons drawn so as soon as they were spotted the mercenaries and guards near the Jarl also drew their weapons.

Jarl Thongvor had his hand on his sword, the Silver-Blood family sword. However he didn't draw it as he could see the Forsworn hadn't attacked yet and he was curious as to why.

Garbhan approached the throne room, staying out of range from the mercenaries and guards that stood by the Jarl. "I am the Briar King." He said proudly, and a bit arrogantly. "I've come to take my rightful place on the granite throne of Markarth."

"This throne is not yours to claim." Thongvor said to the Reachman. He noticed that the so called Briar King was in fact a Briar Heart. However it wasn't the old Briar Heart that caught his attention it was the Reachman standing to his left. Despite the tattoos, the darker skin and the stains of red still in his hair there was no doubt in the resemblance. Thonar could see it to, Thongvor could tell as much just by the way his brother was also looking at the Reachman. He man couldn't be in his 40s yet but still his hair was already pretty grayed, though it was a lighter gray, almost silver. A common trait in our family Thongvor thought. The Silver-Bloods commonly grayed much earlier than most people, by the time they reached their 40s their hair was fully silver-gray.

Lieli was holding her weapon, ready to strike on the Jarl's command. But he didn't say anything so she stood and waited.

"My uncle was Madanach, the King of the Reach. The Reach is mine by blood." Garbhan said, he sounded angry.

Thongvor ignored him and turned to face Eignach. The Reachman was confused by how the two elderly Silver-Bloods were looking at him. The Jarl opened his mouth to say something but couldn't and the throne room was silent for a few moments. Finally he spoke. "Who was your mother?" He asked.
