So he stopped his father before the door. He was going to kill Tamlin too, but Rhysand couldn't let his father do it. Rhys tried to stop him, but his father didn't listen. Then the High Lord of Night went for Tamlin's room. However, when he got to the High Lord's bedroom, he found the High Lord and his wife dead, killed by his father, even after he had promised not to touch her. When they got there, Rhys slew Tamlin's brothers on sight. When Rhys and his father heard, they winnowed to the edge of the Spring Court that night, then went the rest of the way on foot to the manor. Tamlin's father kept their wings as trophies pinned to the wall of his study. They put their heads in boxes and sent them down the river – to the nearest camp. Tamlin's father, brothers, and Tamlin himself set out to the Illyrian wilderness and slaughtered his mother and sister.
When Rhys told Tamlin that his mother and sister were going to camp alone and that he had plans to meet them but in the end he didn't go, Tamlin told his father. And because he was weaker than both Tamlin and Rhys, he wanted to prove to the world that he wasn't. Rhysand's family disapproved, but Tamlin's father felt threatened by him, sensing Rhys's power and knowing that he would become the most powerful High Lord and that his court supported mortals. Rhys sought Tamlin out whenever he was able to get away from war-camps or court and taught him some Illyrian techniques. Rhys being a half-breed Illyrian who had to prove himself and defend his power, saw what Tamlin was going through and befriended him. Tamlin realized from an early age that fighting and killing were about the only things he was good at.ĭuring various court functions over the years, Tamlin and Rhysand, the heir to the Night Court got to know each other. In the war band, there were contests to see who could write the dirtiest limericks Tamlin didn't particularly enjoy losing, so he took it upon himself to become good at them.
So the moment Tamlin was old enough, he joined his father's war band and trained so that he might someday serve his father, or whichever of his brothers inherited the title. Tamlin's brothers would have never let him live to adolescence if they had suspected that he did. He never expected – never wanted – his father's title. Tamlin's father was a friend and ally of the King of Hybern and Amarantha and often went on trips to Hybern sometimes bringing Tamlin with him, that was how he first met Amarantha and when she first decided that she desired him to be her lover but he never reciprocated her feelings.ĭuring the war, Tamlin was too young to fight. Tamlin was born in the Spring Court, the youngest of the three sons of the High Lord of the Spring Court and his mate.
