Death of father, ascent to throne

In 360 AV, Prince Belirendrick III was killed under mysterious circumstances during Grand Ball at DiSilveron Manor. Vorclaf disappeared after this. In his absence, Vorclaf's cousin Sirolarn became interim regent. Later, during the conclusion of Sorrow's war, Vorclaf returned to Zoluren with Baron Jeladric IV's army from Therengia.

A delegation from Dirge was sent to Ulf'Hara Keep to negotiate with Sirolarn. He killed a member of the delegation and then fled south, but was captured before reaching the gondola. Sirolarn was subsequently executed and had his head placed on a pike outside the East Gate of Crossings.

Vorclaf eventually had his coronation on (Oct 26 2003) in Ulf'Hara Keep.
