W'Zaal is dead.

After Flark ascended to the Ducal Seat, a day or so after Flark had Lorek assassinated, someone (Feng) hired an assassin to kill W'Zaal. The assassin managed to sneak into the Ways of Amblerash, where W'Zaal was seeking refuge from his maternal grandfather, and gunned down both W'Zaal and his grandfather.

W'Zaal was seeking refuge with his grandfather because he (W'Zaal) had been severely wounded by a thermonuclear troll of Laan's.

You see, Seonaid had discovered (she thought) that the duelist Raga Tvariens, after recuperating from his wounds from his duel with Flark, had moved to Axsum, under the care and patronage of Lorek. Since Seonaid and Fendrith were supposed to meet with Flark and Shandor at Axsum in just a day or so, Seonaid thought this indicated that Lorek and Raga were setting a trap for Flark. So she told Ellionis, who told Laan. Laan set a pair of trolls that had been specially crafted to resemble Flark and Shandor, and had a thermonuclear surprise implanted in them, to the rendezvous (in place of Flark and Shandor).

Unfortunately, somehow, someone (Feng) arranged for W'Zaal to receive a message, supposedly from Flark, asking W'Zaal to meet Flark at this same location and at this same time. Thus, W'Zaal was severely injured (almost killed, in fact) in the trap set for Lorek and Raga.

Lorek is dead.

Some time ago, Lorek had got his friend Raga Tvariens to challenge Flark to a duel. Raga was supposed to "accidentally" kill Flark during the duel.

Just a few days after ascending to the Ducal Seat, Flark hired the assassin Bren to kill Lorek. Bren fatally shot Lorek in the head using a high-powered sniper rifle, with the expected graphic results.

Jarek really is a professional freelance assassin and spy. In fact, he now has his own apprentice assassins/spies that assist him in his endeavours.
