There, Ivon announced that he did not recognize Zanroar as the new Thunderlord of the Herd, having been just appointed by Grog after killing Kevdak, and planned to leave the Herd and refom the Rivermaw Tribe. Vox Machina attempted to intimidate Ivon and his companions, but they didn't back down. Zanroar told Ivon to leave, and that following the battle with the dragon, the Herd of Storms would not look kindly on deserters.
