+ | The Orlovsky were refugees from the city of Orlov, in Ioberia, who left to escape a foreign invasion, more than 1000 years before the conquest, and are the only one of the Great Families who came here as a unit. That same foreign invasion sent smaller groups west as well. Mountain and country folk drifted over the Icerime mountains and settled the region between the Mountain and the forest and, eventually, became the Medyed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This all happened about 100 years after the Taldan Expedition that colonized the southern part of the region. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some time later, The Surtova started to exert their dominance - they were the most aggressive and war-like of all the new Ioberian settlers - and Lord Surtova eventually declared himself King of Issia. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Over a longer period, the Aldori extended their influence. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By the time of the Conquest, The Aldori had two main strongholds, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In many ways, there is little difference between the Issian, Gorum worshipping Issians and the southern martial artist of the Aldori - who (even in modern Brevoy) are described as short-tempered, | ||

+ | 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' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Surtova** finished up with the northwest corner - but didn't lose their reputation as pirates, thieves and outright badguys. | ||
+ | * **Orlovsky** continued much as it was, although it was forced to consolidate its holdings and pay tribute to Choral. | ||
+ | * **Lodkova** became the leader of the less aggressive (Issian) fisherfolk, and traders in the Northeast. | ||
+ | * **Medveyd** - coalesced out of the Erastil following farmers who lived between the Mountains and the Forest. | ||
+ | * **Garress** - was formed from the issian warlords who had started working with the Dwarves from Deepdelve Minehold (The Golka). | ||
+ | * **Lebeda** - Formed from a mix of Ioberian and Taldan settlers, and a series of political marriages that tied some of the more prominent families together. | ||
+ | * **Aldori** - were the example of what happened if you didn't co-operate with Choral. | ||
+ | * **Restov** - one of the larger Taldan settler holdings, but not under Aldori rule, managed to negotiate a settlement with Choral, and remained as an Independent City - responsible for their own taxes and tributes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Great swathes of land remained unsettled, and therefore uncontrolled. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **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. | ||
