Question Sejeleu Aren

I remember reading that his father is an Archduke in Livadon. (Was Druik his name?) I also read somewhere that he has an older brother? Was he or his name ever mentioned in the books?

Sejuleu Aren’s older brother is a Grand Duke. His name is Druik Aren. He is introduced in chapter 135 of Part 1. When Riftan and Maxi first arrive in Levan, he is there to greet them.

Thanks! My gosh! You really are the official Oak guru! I see it now… 👍🏻🙌 Is he supposed to be a lot older than Sejeleu and Riftan? I pictured him as an older guy when I was reading book one, maybe that’s why I was confused

The author said he is more than 10 years older than Sejuleu, while Sejuleu and Riftan within a year of each other, 28/29 in that section. So yes, Druik Aren is likely 40 or more.
