Argentum

Summary

Argentum was Lady Evalina Hartwall’s husband and is connected to Snowsorrow and Hartwall history, Lady Evalina’s marriage threads, Garadule’s war, and the Hartwall family’s records. He died defending his people; his urn bears an apology suggesting that his marriage or the love surrounding it was more complicated than the family record admits. In the Hartwall child’s tea-party labels, he is Daddie.
