The Fate Of Storm: Faithful And Fallen Series

The Faithful and the Fallen is a four-book series by John Gwynne, comprising *Malice*, *Valour*, *Ruin*, and *Wrath*. It is an epic fantasy saga set in the Banished Lands, a continent divided into several kingdoms populated primarily by humans, with clans of giants living at the fringes. The series follows Corban, a wolven-raising boy with a talent for training, and Veradis, first sword to High Prince Nathair, as they navigate a world of political intrigue, battle, and betrayal.

The series features a prophecy that foretells a war between the god of creation, Elyon, and the god of destruction, Asroth. Elyon's avatar will be called The Bright Star, and Asroth's will be called The Black Sun. As the story progresses, the paths of Corban and Nathair converge, leading to a climactic showdown that will determine the fate of the world.

One of the central questions surrounding the series is whether Corban's wolven companion, Storm, dies. Storm is a white wolven with darker undertones in her fur. She plays a significant role in the story, and her fate is a source of concern for many readers.

Storm is Corban's wolven companion

Storm is a loyal and lovable animal companion, and one of the most interesting members of the epic's ensemble. She is described as a "wolven-raising, colt-loving boy with immense talent in the training field" who deals "with bullying from another boy with kindness and grace". Storm also loves Corban, and defends him from a hound that attacks:

> "Your colt, Ban. He just raced past us, from nowhere, threw himself into the hound. He killed it, Ban, defending you. I’ve never seen the like before."

Storm is also described as a "true-heart" in the following excerpt:

> "Black Sun will drown the earth in bloodshed, Bright Star with the Treasures must unite.’ Again he stopped, carefully turned more pages, eventually continued his halting reading: ‘By their names you shall know them – Kin-Slayer, Kin-Avenger, Giant-Friend, Draig-Rider, Dark Power ’gainst Lightbringer.’ And so he went on: read, pause, search. Read again. ‘One shall be the Tide, one the Rock in the swirling sea. Before one, storm and shield shall stand; before the other, True-Heart and Black-Heart."

Storm is still alive at the end of the Faithful and the Fallen series, but she does die in the sequel, which is set around 100 years later.

Storm does not die in the series

The Faithful and the Fallen is a fantasy series by John Gwynne, comprising the books Malice, Valour, Ruin and Wrath. The series follows Corban, a wolven-raiser, and his companions, including his wolf Storm, as they traverse the Banished Lands.

Storm is a white wolven with darker undertones in her fur. She is Corban's constant companion and was rescued as a pup by Corban when she was discovered on a hunt in the Baglun. Evnis, an advisor to King Brenin, demanded the wolven be destroyed after his son Vonn was injured in a skirmish with other wolven. However, Corban declared King's Justice and, in the absence of King Brenin, Queen Alona declared that Corban could keep the pup and raise her as his own.

Storm is described as one of the "most influential characters" in the series. She is present in all four books and is a beloved companion to Corban, who has a strong bond with animals. Storm is instrumental in Corban's escape from captivity, and she also helps him discover a hidden tunnel back into the city.

While Storm does not die in the series, one Reddit user notes that she does die in the sequel, which is set around 100 years later.

Storm is injured in a skirmish with other wolven

Storm, Corban's wolven, was initially rescued as a pup by Corban during a hunt in the Baglun. Evnis, an advisor to King Brenin, demanded the wolven be destroyed after his son Vonn was injured in a skirmish with other wolven. However, Corban declared King's Justice, and in the absence of King Brenin, Queen Alona allowed Corban to keep the pup on the condition that it would be destroyed if it injured anyone.

Storm's skirmish with other wolven, which resulted in Vonn's injury, is not described in detail. However, it is clear that the incident caused tension and had significant consequences. Evnis sought to have the wolven destroyed, while Corban was determined to protect it, leading to a conflict between them. The skirmish also impacted Vonn, who was injured as a result.

The skirmish and its aftermath highlight the potential dangers and complexities arising from interactions between wolven and humans in the story. It is a pivotal event that shapes the relationships and dynamics among the characters, demonstrating the impact that such encounters can have on the narrative.

Storm's presence and role as Corban's companion are significant throughout the series, and she is described as a loyal and influential character. Her relationship with Corban is a source of comfort and strength for him, and her injury or harm would undoubtedly affect him deeply.

Storm is primarily white with darker undertones in her fur

Storm, Corban's wolven, is described as "primarily white with darker undertones in her fur". Storm is a pup when Corban first rescues her in the Baglun. Evnis, whose son Vonn was injured in a skirmish with other wolven, demands that the pup be destroyed. However, Corban declares King's Justice, and in the absence of King Brenin, Queen Alona rules that Corban can keep the pup as long as she doesn't hurt anyone.

Storm is a source of comfort and companionship for Corban, who is often bullied by others. Storm is also described as a "loyal and lovable animal companion". Storm's fate is a source of concern for readers, with some expressing relief that she survives the series, while others note that she does eventually die, as all dogs do.

In the Faithful and the Fallen series, Storm is not the only animal companion to a human character. There are also talking ravens, Craf and Fech, who provide comic relief in an otherwise dark and intense series.

Storm is rescued as a pup by Corban

Storm, a white wolven with darker undertones in her fur, was rescued as a pup by Corban, the son of a blacksmith, during a hunt in the Baglun forest. Corban's friend Dylan was killed by brigands early on, and Corban himself got lost in the Baglun woods. Corban's life was in danger when he came across a pack of wolven protecting their pups. A skirmish ensued, and Evnis's son Vonn was injured. Evnis demanded the wolven be destroyed, but Corban declared King's Justice, a ruling that allows a person to keep a wild animal if they feel they have been wronged by it. As King Brenin was not at Dun Carreg, the fate of the pup was left to Queen Alona, who allowed Corban to keep the pup on the condition that she would be destroyed if she injured anyone.

Corban's relationship with Storm satisfies a craving for a wolf-human bond. Corban loves animals, and they love him. Storm is described as Corban's "wolven companion" and is considered one of the most influential characters in the series.
