For Alagaesia: 74. The declaration

He had to resort to a violent mental push to bring Roran back from wherever he was caught in. And the moment he came out of his stupor, Roran screamed; the scream of a man who had lost his grip on sanity.

He had requested that his identity be kept a secret for the sake of sanity during the dark times. The elf had accepted his argument and had let him pass.
