Ultimately Dalton betrayed Fitch, who was forced to flee. Though he was conflicting goals and values, Fitch's gratitude towards Dalton resulted in blind obedience and he smothered his conscience to accomplish Dalton's bidding. Dalton treasured his wife, Teresa, above all else.Ī kitchen scullion, Fitch, was recruited into the messenger corps by Dalton. He used his connections, along with his squad of messengers, to accomplish underhanded tasks to ensure that the Minister would ascend to the chair of Sovereign (a religious position similar to the real world pope), when the present one passes on. They began infiltrating Imperial Order soldiers into Anderith under the guise of Special Anderian Troops.ĭalton Campbell, aide to the Minister of Culture, had a hand in most events within the Anderith nation. He also plotted with the Minister of Culture, Bertrand Chanboor, to surrender Anderith to the Order. Stein offered double the going rate for any goods that merchants, all of the Ander race, would sell to the Imperial Order. Most Hakens had bought into this idea and willingly subjected themselves to the oppression.Īnderith was being wooed by the Imperial Order in the person of Stein, who personified the savage ruthlessness of Jagang's empire. From an early age, Hakens were kept under control and disrespected by the Anders and were taught that this oppression was a necessity to protect the Hakens from their violent ancestral ways. Both the Anders, black-haired people who govern the city, and the Hakens, red-haired people under the boot of Ander oppression, occupied Anderith. However, the Sisters of the Light betrayed Ann to Jagang because they fear his wrath.Įlsewhere, Machiavellian politics of Anderith were introduced. Ann infiltrated the Imperial Order in order to save the Sisters of the Light under Jagang's enslavement. Zedd recalled some lore that related the chimes to Anderith, and he traveled there to attempt to banish the chimes. Meanwhile, Zedd and Ann set off in separate ways. Richard, Kahlan and Cara, unaware of the truth, set out to accomplish the task of breaking the bottle. Zedd determined that he must find a remedy and wanted Richard and Kahlan safely out of the way while he did so. This would cause death to beings that require magic and possibly cause the destruction of the world if additive magic were to completely fail. The chimes would eventually drain all magic from the world of the living, beginning with the Additive Magic. He had surmised that a terrible magic known as the Chimes had been released. According to Zedd, the only way to destroy the Lurk was by smashing a bottle from the Wizard's Keep in Aydindril with the Sword of Truth. Zedd confided in Richard that the chicken was a Lurk sent by Emperor Jagang's Sisters of the Dark. Strange deaths and the appearance of a 'Chicken That Isn't A Chicken' left Richard fearing the worst. Continuing on from Temple of the Winds, the story began after Richard and Kahlan's wedding in the village of the Mud People.
