==The fall of Riverside==
Riverside was established as the Winter residence of the Kingdoms rulers not long after the unification of the various human fiefdoms. The city has an imposing set of inner fortifications with massive main gates that were enchanted to only open to particular personages. The kings mages working in concert for nearly a year modified this enchantment so that only members of the royal family could activate this enchantment. As such, the gates are normally left open, and only closed when the royal family were in residence or in times of extremis.
When the Elven invasion sent a force up towards Riverside, the majority of the cities populace and soldiery retreated inside the inner fortifications and closed the gates. However, during the second day of the Riverside siege, the enchantment was activated and the gates opened, the city fell shortly thereafter.
Both sides in the civil war accuse each other of being the traitor, and this has driven the Solarans and Alverans even further apart. Some of the more cynical point to Adamas and Reston as acknowledged bastards as other potential candidates, whilst others simply point out that William had any number of bastard offspring who might have met the enchantment criteria.
== Francis Urquhart - clan lands NE of Riverside ==
His ancestors would have landed c400 years ago, probably rose to some form of prominence near Far Haven as minor warlord types, migrated south when things got too hot up there. Settled near Riverside and carved out a small fiefdom about 250 years ago, over the next 100 years via a lot of political wrangling etc. managed to get your fiefdom recognised by the kingdom as it formed..... all came crashing down with the Elven invasion. You are not sure whether your holdings were overrun by the Elves or not - if not then they will be extremely exposed to the Orcs
