Farengar says, "Balgruuf and one of his guards rushed into my room one night, asking me to come see something. When I came, it wasn't there. Gilles, they said it was. I was doubtful at first, but then I heard of others who heard of it I knew my suspicions were correct. The jarl ordered some soldiers to head over and take the thing from wherever it was and to pursue it. I advised against it. This has happened many times in the past, a war over what the common folk think is just a phantom. Finally we realized that the Jarl had become mad from the thing. Later that night, he bit his steward for arguing with him. If that wasn't enough, he started beating his children when they talked back to him. They deserve a slap or two, I will admit, but he had never punished them this way and it was the kind of beating even I would not be able to handle. Commander Caius secretly called off the attack and when the Jarl found out, he left the keep and was nowhere to be found. His children are too young and weak to rule, so we had the people vote. They elected for the new leader of house Gray-Mane, Thorald. A shame 'Ol Vignar died. He would've been better."
