Instructing at School[]
Dulcamara taught some of the gentry children at their school about rules of inheritance, probably in anticipation of the coming coronation. However, the students became uncomfortable when she talked about how tricky it would be to take the throne by force. Rumor had it that her king, Lord Roiben of the Court of Termites, was planning to swear to the new High King and bring his large Court with him. Lord Roiben's joining the High Court of Elfhame was widely considered to be a masterstroke of diplomacy, negotiated by Prince Dain against Madoc's wishes.

The Court of Termites Camp[]
Dulcemara caught Jude Duarte trying to sneak into the Court of Termites camp and took Jude to Lord Roiben. Dulcemara asks Lord Roiben if she should snap Jude's neck, however, Lord Roiben dismisses Dulcemara and allows Jude to speak. When Jude refuses to answer one of Roiben’s questions he says that he could get Dulcamara to hurt Jude until she begs to be allowed to tell all her secrets.
