Not bad, and certainly could be argued for the case, but not what I had in mind. How would you explain the third part? (And the question asked just before it? Note that the third part is an answer to "tell me, what's there / the two of us share?" That's very important, actually.)

The dead guy at the Paths of Dead was Baldor, son of Brego, as far as I am aware, he was a prince-to-be of the Mark, but he never actually lived to get the title.
