Until one day he recieves a letter from his father, who is king of the Southern Lands, who is also dying. In the letter he says that, you guessed it, he is dying, and Taven needs to go in the Northern Lands to find his uncle and take him back to the southern lands where he takes his brother's place on the throne.

This sounds awfully complicated. If I got it right, it goes something like this:

-Taven lives in southern lands. He recieves the letter from his father, the King, which means he doesn't live with his father, ha may or may not know whether his father IS a king, but once he finds out, he travels to North Lands to pickup his uncle, return him to South, and put him on the throne???

Can't he just... like... go Hamlet-ish all of a sudden, and kill his father with a pillow (hes dying already, no suspects), and send assassins to kill the uncle? Like, the assassins come, and tell the uncle "Yeah, your nephew arranged your ascension to the throne, please step onto the ship", then they throw him overboard, or make him walk the plank while shouting "Taven, ruler of Southern"...
