White Sea story
Raimarc's killing of Garion's former One explains his refusal to share information that could help the king exploit other people. Garion recognizes the Dark Eagle's Archangel nature and calms him after Raimarc provokes an attack, but refuses to explain that vulnerability to the king. (White Sea, Chapter 5.)
His duchy safeguards a Holy Forge of Hephaestus. Later, when Lucille Alderis challenges his bond with Remy Gousselle, Garion fights her and confronts Cassiopeia, whose interference has immobilized Remy. He forces the spirit to release his mate; Lucille dies after refusing to yield. (White Sea, Chapters 10 and 36.)
