Long before Adin became king of Deltora, Geddock went into the Forests of Silence with his brothers Gorl and Gudden to search for the Lilies of Life. They eventually found the flowers in the centre of the Forests, but when Greddock and Gudden ran towards the lilies, Gorl fought both of his brothers to the death to take the nectar for himself. The story of the three Jalis brothers became a Tenna Birdsong tale known as The Tale of the Three Knights.
