I came here to say exactly what Susan Stoner said. I feel like Tarkyn or Reth suggested this. It’s the same as when Reth got Elreth to command respect, by dominating to become queen, rather than inheriting the title. And how Tarkyn made sure everyone saw Aaryn’s doninance, during the Flames and Smoke. I do wonder if Gar’s absence was intentional, so there is no doubt, as to how skilled the disformed are.
