What They Know
- He knows the full terms of the curse Amarantha laid on him and his court: that a mortal girl must fall in love with him and say so of her own free will before the last Calanmai, or he and all of Spring will remain bound forever.
- He knows that Amarantha killed his family—his father and brothers—and that the curse was sealed on a Fire Night when he failed to stop her.
- He knows the mask is part of the curse, and that removing it before the curse breaks will doom him and his court.
- He knows that the blight eating Spring is the curse's physical manifestation, draining the land of its magic and life.
- He knows that the other High Lords are held Under the Mountain, and that Rhysand is the only one who moves freely—which he trusts about as far as he can throw a mountain.
- He knows that the Wall between the mortal lands and Prythian is weakening, and that Hybern is stirring.
- He knows that he cannot tell the mortal girl the truth of the curse, because if she learns it too soon, the bargain breaks in a different, worse way.
