Broadhoof has problems with Seth insulting him, and Seth promises Broadhoof a duel. Patton Burgess replaces Seth and defeats Broadhoof. Broadhoof later dies during the battle in Kurisock's tar pit: when the dark hamadryad Ephira attacked him with her dark garments, Kendra was sitting on his back, holding the talisman of light the Fairy Queen had given her. Torn between light and dark, the strain was too much for Broadhoof, and he was killed.
