Tale of Oswan

Told by a female rogue in Tortall, it tells of Oswan Kingkiller:


 * Oswan murdered King Andar the Weak. The law said that he wasn't to die until he was tortured for three days, dawn to dark. The gods turned their faces from him, and he lived six days.

Who Andar was the king of, it is not known, but it is not a stretch to assume that he was the ruler of the Tortallan people, as it was a Tortallan who spoke of the tale. She went on to explain that royal dynasties get their right from the gods, and that only they may take it back; never men.
