 )  Urzen Rogarvia  (King of All Brevoy) and all of his blood relations, no matter how distant, just suddenly disappeared over night.  One night they were there, next morning they weren't.  Anyone who could trace their heritage back to Choral the Conqueror (even babies and children) just disappeared overnight.    There have  been a couple of claimants, who were disproved etc -  but basically, the whole of the Royal Family disappeared mysteriously over night.

-South of New Stetven the banks (on both sides) of the  East Sellen river is dotted with villages, farms and fishing hamlets.  Piers allow boats and small ships to  stop and load (or unload) cargo – and they carry Fish, Grain, Raw Linen and Hemp  up the river to New Stetven.  These settlements run right down to the Brevoy Borders – and their residents are a tough and fierce lot.  The lordlings of these villages (mainly Master of ...) are descended from the leaders of Choral’s original horde – and while they were loyal to the Rogarvia -  they are less loyal to the Surtova and are somewhat unpredictable.  ++Note| Farmers in this context means the lordlings who own manage and control the farming villages and communities.  The equivalent of Lords of the Manor or Country Squires who hold the title ‘Master of Xxxx’++

-//Telgar Gurov// Leads the South Steven Farmers.  He was never much of a farmer (he leaves that to the rest of clan) and is seen by many as a throwback to his ancestors.  Telgar is somewhat of an Intimidating leader -  but it seems to work well enough among his rough and ready people.  Telgar Gurov has 19 Influence points.

 There are a number of other aristocrats that wield some influence.  These include ...
-  * //Baron Varn of Vin // controls a small estate that abuts Lady Carmela's increased holdings. As an outlying estate towards the Icerime mountains, he is part of the old county of Skywatch, but fell outside the control of the Viscount. However, he is on good terms with Lady Carmela and is supportive of her claim - if only because it keeps the other local lords under control while maintaining Varn's independence. Carmella, on the other hand, realises that Vin is a buffer between her claims and the Medveyed - which means she is less likely to be seen as a threat. One of his sons is Maegar Varn, Lord of Varnhold. Varn of Vin has about 25 Influence points.

-  * //Clan Golka// – Until recently controlled a Minehold, called High Delve, in the Goluskin Mountains. Then 10 years ago, on the same night the Rogarvia disappeared, so did High Delve. There was an earthquake and a landslide and the whole mine hold disappeared. Despite searching, no one has managed to find an entrance to it yet. The Baron’s son was in Grayhaven on that fateful night, and taken over his father’s title and responsibilities as he oversees the remaining elements of the clan and organises search parties into the mountains. The Golka still have a few Master Forges in trade partner cities, and this keeps them ‘in the game’ as far as Brevoy Politics is concerned. With secondary titles and interests and they have about 25 Influence points.
+  * //Mayor of Brundeston// -  The mining town of Brundeston in eastern Rostland is the new 'spiritual' home to the dwarves of Clan Golka. Most dwarves throughout southern Brevoy and the northern River Kingdoms have relatives from here, and gem, ore and metal traders from Brunderton can often be found peddling their wares along the Sellen's many tributaries. While there are Dwarf 'outposts' in Greyhaven, New Steven and Restov -  Brundeston is their primary stronghold.
-  * //Mayor of Brunderton// -  The mining town of Brunderton in eastern Rostland in Brevoy is home to a relatively large number of dwarves for the region. Most dwarves throughout southern Brevoy and the northern River Kingdoms have relatives from here, and gem and ore traders from Brunderton can often be found peddling their wares along the Sellen's many tributaries.  With secondary interests etc, the Mayor of Brunderton has 20 Influence Points.
+  * //Rowle of Smallhurst// -  Thomas Rowle, Master of Smallhurst, lives in a well-fortified keep on the Great North Road. The keep has a village built inside its palisaded bailey and provides a safe over-night stop for trade caravans and travellers of all types.
