Istaban Novares

Istaban Novares is credited as being one of the founders of the nation of Tear. 
==History==
He was a nobleman of the province during the days of Artur Hawkwing. Upon Hawkwing's death in , he formed an alliance with an equally powerful noblewoman named Yseidre Tirado and, together with their supporters, they seized control of the city and a stretch of surrounding countryside. Neither was powerful enough to declare themselves king or queen, so a ruling council was established instead.
Over the course of the War of the Hundred Years, Tear overcame its enemies and expanded to its modern size, with the notion of a council of High Lords and Ladies leading the country instead of a single ruler becoming cemented in law.
