“Shiz Propose That Coriantumr Would Give Himself Up”

Brant Gardner

Shiz’s counteroffer to accept Coriantumr’s proposal only if Coriantumr agrees to let Shiz kill him with his own (Coriantumr’s) sword reveals his true motive: the blood feud. Jaredite history had supplied an endless series of captive kings, which was probably the fate that Coriantumr envisioned. He had underestimated Shiz’s hatred.
