A great feud grew between the Princes until they lashed out in their fury. The fields burned with their anger and an entire forest was swept away. A hill was flattened and a mountain was brought low. The people of Westrun were frightened and begged the Princes to refrain from their battle, but they did not relent. Finally, Kels intervened between the Princes and beguiled them from their anger. With a drum in one hand and fire in the other, she charmed them promised them both what they most desired.
Ris is a contemporary of Heimos and his one-time lieutenant, turned rival. After an conflict between the two, Ris relocated with Kels to the Provinces and agreed to remain there while Heimos remained in Westrun.
In the Provinces, Ris became known as one-half of Morset Tributa, that is, Death and Taxes. Ris is personified as a white man, often lame by virtue of his age and often depicted with a crutch or leaning upon a staff. In some places he is depicted as a dog on point. His symbol is a crude arrow pointing upward, and alternately, a tower of stone. He is the personification of Law, Order, Organization, Government, Taxes. He is the immovable object. Though it must be pointed out that there is no connotation of goodness for Ris. He might be, and often is, considered evil.
