So his father discovered the truth and warned Archendale about the Zhent plot. His mother managed to find Lander and offered him a place among the Zhents, but in response he killed the Zhent companions of the mother but not her. So the mother arranged the death of Lander's father. Later a Harper approached Lander informing him that his mother had died. Lander decided to join the Harpers and stop the Zhent's at any opportunity. In 1360 Florin Falconhand send him to Anauroch to warn the Bedine of an imminent attack from the Zhents and Asabi.
