Each time Lith and Jormun met, they learned something more about the other, but they also grew more distant. Whatever Valeron's mother was doing posed a threat to Lith, especially her dealings with a man called Meln.
Valeron had only a vague memory of the man called Meln, and it wasn't a good one. He remembered the revulsion both Jormun and Thrud felt for him and how they had tried to keep Meln as far away from Valeron as possible.
Such was his father's disdain for Meln that it had led to the only pacific confrontation between Jormun and Lith after he escaped from the Golden Griffon.
Instead of fighting, they discussed their differences and found an acceptable compromise. A compromise that allowed them both to go back home to their respective children.
After the meeting in Meln's secret lair, came their final encounter.
