 +This section mixes detail from the AP, with the flavour generated by the early history of the land.
  
 The leaders of these houses were, in basic terms, Choral's tax and tribute collectors.  Part of their reward is that they were allowed to skim some of the taxes and tribute for themselves - and really cement their place as leader in their area.  Choral eventually gave them the title 'Duke'. The leaders of these houses were, in basic terms, Choral's tax and tribute collectors.  Part of their reward is that they were allowed to skim some of the taxes and tribute for themselves - and really cement their place as leader in their area.  Choral eventually gave them the title 'Duke'.

   * **Aldori** - were the example of what happened if you didn't co-operate with Choral.  Not only were they decimated (or more) at The Valley of Fire, Choral claimed their lands  for his own people.  The Mivon Aldori left Brevoy completely.  The Khavatorov, found a way to work with Choral -  but everyone else who stayed was subject top an overlord, and  an array of Counts and Viscounts ruled across Skywatch and the Rostland Plains.  While Choral built his capital at New Stetven, Sky Watch became his second holding -  and all traces of Aldori influence in the area was removed or eliminated.   * **Aldori** - were the example of what happened if you didn't co-operate with Choral.  Not only were they decimated (or more) at The Valley of Fire, Choral claimed their lands  for his own people.  The Mivon Aldori left Brevoy completely.  The Khavatorov, found a way to work with Choral -  but everyone else who stayed was subject top an overlord, and  an array of Counts and Viscounts ruled across Skywatch and the Rostland Plains.  While Choral built his capital at New Stetven, Sky Watch became his second holding -  and all traces of Aldori influence in the area was removed or eliminated.

 +Great swathes of land remained unsettled, and therefore uncontrolled.  The one exception is the bandits in the Gronzi Forest.  They have been there since shortly after the conquest, and the Rogarvia never managed to root them out. 
 + 
 +**Post Rogarvia** 
 + 
 +Then, in one day, three things happened to throw the land into confusion. 
 + 
 +  - Every single person of the Rogavarian bloodline disappeared - and have never returned 
 +  - Deepdelve, the Golka Clans holding, disappeared during a massive, but very local earthquake -  they have not been found yet. 
 +  - Skywatch isolated itself from the world, using powerful magics - it is still sealed, and the even the best magical minds do not understand how.

 +The rest is covered all over the website  :)
