== In Assail==
After Orman took Boarstooth from Jal's hall in the middle of the night, Jal was incensed. He led a hunting party of eight men, including Gerrun Shortshanks, into the wilderness to recover it. When Jal located Orman, he insulted the memory of Orman's father. Orman was so enraged he speared Jal with Boarstooth. As Jal died, he cursed Orman as a kinslayer.Assail (novel), Chapter 3
