Their journey is far from a simple one, but along the way they are assisted by Old Man Cogline and his daugher (of sorts) Kimber Boh, along with her pet Moor Cat, Whisper. Rone argues that Brin cannot go alone, so the pair goes off into the Eastland to find the Ildatch, within the Maelmord. He is with Brin and Jair as their parents, Wil and Eretria, are away.

It would be his children, Brin and Jair, who were both born with Elven magic within them called the “Wishsong.” In Wil’s use of the Elfstones, Wil is aware that the elven magic within them changed something inside him, but it was not his life that change would shape.
