This page contains spoilers. If you do not wish to be spoiled, do not read further.

Taran and his Companions came upon a camp in the woods of the Hill Cantrevs, occupied by Dorath and his Company, a band of mercenary warriors. Dorath, believing that Taran sought a treasure near the Lake of Llunet, tried inviting himself and his band along for "protection." When Taran sensibly refused, Dorath suggested that "Lord Swineherd" not insult him, and invited the travelers to stay the night. Taran could do little but agree; during the night, he and Fflewddur discussed the possibility of blowing his enchanted Battle Horn and calling the Fair Folk to their rescue. Taran decided to employ the horn as a last resort, and later the trio went ahead with their plan to escape the camp. But from the black shadow of a tree Dorath moved a booted foot to block Taran's way, a dagger in his hand.
