It is composed of the chief advisers, ministers and dignitaries in the Empire. Convening in the White-Gold Tower of the Imperial City, the Elder Council advises Emperor Quintus Velius and executes his will.

The Elder Council is led by the High Chancellor.
Henri VI

**Henri VI** was a King of Silverspire, reigning from 2E 458 to 2E 518. The restorer of Galan rule and the usher of a golden age, he is considered to be one of the realm’s most successful monarchs.

Amongst his living descendants are notably:

* Henri X, King of Silverspire and Darkshard
* Prince Edouard, Earl of Griffinheight
* Richard Marcy, Duke of Eastbourn

Raoul FitzRoger

Kingdom of Stormstone

**Raoul FitzRoger** is the illegitimate son of Roger Combray, Earl of Fellgate.

His mother, Marie, was the daughter of a crofter in the earldom of Spargrove. When Earl Henri Beuvron's hunting party presumed upon the hospitality of his subject, Roger (then a squire) and Marie conducted a brief love affair.

Later, a pregnant Marie - cast out by her father - journeyed to Earl Henry's castle at Spargrove. There she gave birth to a son, name Raoul *FitzRoger*; an acknowledgement of paternity encouraged by Earl Henri. Marie would be put to work in the kitchens of Spargrove (until she succumbed to the Knahaten Flu in 2E 563) and Raoul would be raised as a page in Earl Henri's household.

Following the Spargrove Coup and Roger's banishment to Fellgate in 2E 563, the prudish Earl Simon refused to acknowledge his illegitimate grandson. Before Roger could wed Helene Launois, her father Claude obliged his future son-in-law to swear that he had not secretly married Marie (thereby making Raoul his heir). Roger vowed that Raoul was sired *"by folly, in halcyon days"*, from which originated his nicknames **Folly** and **Hal** (given to him by Helene).

When his father inherited the earldom of Fellgate in 2E 569, Raoul, aged fourteen, was at last accorded the status and honour of noble rank. He was sent to squire for the Baron of Westwatch, one of Earl Roger's vassals, and would be knighted by his father in 2E 576. Upon knighthood, Earl Roger granted the reversed arms of the House of Combray, thereby identifying Raoul as a scion of one the kingdom's great families.

Raoul was thereafter retained as a knight in his father's household, much to the dismay of Countess Helene (although the two would develop an amicable relationship).
County of Kasuf

**The** **County of Kasuf** is one of the five fiefdoms in the Principality of Cespar, established after the Breton conquest in 1E 2868.

It is ruled by Anseau IX of the House of Roisel, who was elected Prince of Cespar in 2E 606.

## **Notes**

* *kasuf* (كسوف) translates from Arabic to 'eclipse'. This is reflected in the fiefdom's heraldry.
Bernard Velaine

Sir **Bernard Velaine** is a Breton holy knight.

A founding member of the Knights of Stendarr, Bernard was formerly the heir to the lordship of Mistgrove - a fiefdom of the Kingdom of Daggerfall. Inspired by the *Dream of Stendarr* - a religious experience shared by many throughout High Rock - he renounced his inheritance and journeyed to Cyrodiil in 2E 578.

Bound by sacred and mutual oath, he and his brother-knights now protect to region's helpless and holy places from the brutality of the Interregnum.

Though haunted by the sins of his former life, the honour and probity of Velaine is beyond reproach. Untainted by the opportunism and ambition of some of his brother-knights, he has remained true to his purpose; his divine charge.

On account of his integrity and rectitude, he is perhaps one of the most well-respected of the Knights - both within and without the order - despite others surpassing him in martial skill.
Bishop of Wayrest

The Bishop of Wayrest is the High Priest of the Temple of Zenithar. Though the highest religious authority in the Kingdom, his effective power and influence is bound to the capital.

Elected by the priesthood from amongst their ranks, the Bishop’s responsibilities primarily concern leadership of the Temple. The Bishop, whose tenure is lifelong, is also responsible for leading the coronation of a monarch. How much involvement any one bishop has in secular life and governance is at their own discretion, although the office has historically proven more commonly to be apolitical.

Ascending to the holy office in 2E 562, the current Bishop of Wayrest is Ernest Roye.

### List of Wayrestian Bishops

* Horace Hamel (2E 496 - 538)
* ? (2E 538 - 553)
* Armel Gellin (2E 553 - 562)
* Ernest Roye (2E 562 - present)
College of Haafingar

The **College of Haafingar** is a school of magic located in the city of Solitude, capital of Western Skyrim.

## **Timeline**

**2E 467 — The College of Haafingar is founded *(146 years ago)*.**

* It is established as a satellite school by mages of the College of Winterhold, with the assent of the western High King.

**2E 505 — The College of Haafingar secedes from the College of Winterhold *(108 years ago)*.**

* Following the death of the venerable Master Wizard Bersi, the mages of Haafingar (with encouragement from the western High King) elect Isgerd as the first *Archmage* of the College of Haafingar.
* The Archmage of Winterhold's prerogative in appointing the College of Haafingar's leader is thereby rejected, signalling the separation of the schools after 38 years.

**2E 576 — Orlyg the Terse becomes Archmage *(37 years ago)*.**

## **The College**

The College of Haafingar largely preserves the ethos and organisation of its eastern counterpart. It is led by an Archmage, who entrusts the day-to-day administration of the school to a Master Wizard. Members of the College can be roughly categorised as apprentices, teachers and researchers. Fully-fledged members of the College are granted the title of Wizard.

Admittance to the College is strictly regulated, observing the teachings of the First Era archmage Shalidor. Those seeking to join the College must display ability or aptitude in the arcane, or else be vouched for by a reputable member of the school. Those who fail to equal the College's high standards risk expulsion and ostracism.
County of Westmore

Westmorean

The **County of Westmore** is a fiefdom within the Principality of Goldenstar. It is the ancestral seat of the House of Parce, who rule as Princes since 2E 453.

Effectively part of the princely demesne as the Prince’s personal fief, the County is currently ruled by Prince Roland V.

Though not employed in his personal coat of arms, the Westmore charge - a silver rose - is present on the Prince’s banners and battle standards. Those knighted in the County may also choose to take on the silver rose of Westmore.

Sigurd Horiksson

**Sigurd Horiksson** is a Thane of Whiterun, the first cousin of Jarl Freya Gormsdottir.

## **Timeline**

**2E 569 — Sigurd is born on the 6th Second Seed.**

* He is the nephew of Jarl Gorm of Whiterun.
* He grows up in Riverwood, a holding of his father Thane Horik *[pending approval].*

**2E 582 — Sigurd's father, Horik, dies *(aged 13)*.**

* Sigurd is brought to Dragonsreach as a ward of his uncle, Jarl Gorm *[pending approval]*.

**2E 589 — Sigurd is named Thane of Whiterun *(aged 20).***

* Having come of age [?], Sigurd is required to perform a service to the hold before being named Thane. In response to a troll waylaying merchants on the eastern road, Jarl Gorm instructs Sigurd to bring the beast's pelt to him.
* Though intended as a trial of valour and martial prowess, Sigurd hires the Companions to slay the troll and retrieve its pelt.
* Having, circuitously, completed the Jarl's task, Sigurd is named Thane of Whiterun by his uncle.

**2E 598 — Sigurd does not participate in Whiterun's war with the Reachmen *(aged 29)*.**

* He remains at the court of Jarl Gorm - safely behind the walls of Whiteun - throughout the conflict.
* His lack of participation does not immediately discredit Sigurd. It would, however, undermine his claim to Whiterun's throne a decade later.

**2E 608 — Sigurd's stratagem fails *(aged 39)*.**

* *Proposal:* With Jarl Gorm on his deathbed, Sigurd sends a message/messenger to Sigmund Gormsson (who is away somewhere) to return at once; Sigurd has in fact arranged for brigands to seize Sigmund en route and hold him captive. Gorm dies, and Sigmund is portrayed as a bad son, careless, etc etc. A moot is thus convened to select a more suitable Jarl (perhaps under the auspices of some threat or crisis?) with Sigurd expecting himself to come out on top (I think he would have a fair amount of support) -- but he is trumped by the combined claim of Freya and Harald. He therefore sends instruction for Sigmund to be released, hoping he would come to Whiterun to claim his jarldom, but he instead slips away to the eastern holds.
King's Council (Stormstone)

The **king's council** is a body of royal advisers in the Kingdom of Stormstone.

Whereas the parliament of Stormstone is composed of landed nobles who attend by customary right rather than royal summons, members of the king's council are appointed and dismissed at the pleasure of the king. It is essentially the inner circle of the wider royal court, made up of the most powerful, trusted and favoured individuals in the king's service.

In addition to those retained solely for their advice and assent, the king's council is also attended by a number of functionaries, by virtue of their office. As such, the king's council is the heart of the royal administration. The Folcarde kings of Stormstone have seldom been itinerant rulers, and thus the king's council is permanently established in the capital as the realm's preeminent advisory and ministerial body.

Spargrove Coup

*Not to be confused with the Spargrove Rebellion.*

The **Spargrove coup** was a failed coup staged by Henri Beuvron, the Earl of Spargrove, in 2E 563.

When King Gaston VI was infected with the deadly Knahaten Flu, it was widely believed that he would imminently die. Beuvron (the leading nobleman of the realm, holding the high office of Lord Admiral) sought to assume power as Lord Protector during the minority of Prince Garlan, the king's son and heir.

Although King Gaston still drew breath, Beuvron seized the initiative to seize custody of Prince Garlan. In this he was supported by Queen Adela, the prince's mother and Beuvron's rumoured lover. The earl's celerity was impelled by his rivalry with the sorcerer Nerius. Nerius had exercised considerable influence over the king and, as tutor to Prince Garlan, would likely enjoy even greater distinction in the impending new regime.

Thus, on 14th Last Seed 2E 563, Beuvron and his retinue (including Roger Combray, the future earl of Fellgate) stormed the wizard's chamber, in which the ailing king was sequestered. The earl, upon on his self-proclaimed authority as Lord Protector, brought forth a warrant ordering the arrest of Nerius. The Imperial was charged with high treason; accused of causing the king's ill health to promote his own advancement. Beuvron and his companions, however, were greeted by none other than King Gaston himself - frail, yet seemingly cured by the magic of Nerius.

On the king's orders, the royal guard arrested the earl and his retinue. Beuvron, resigned, bade his companions not to resist: he implored the king that culpability for these events should rest with him alone. Thus the Great Earl, after a decade of dominating the affairs of the kingdom, was vanquished. Cast into the dungeon, Beuvron was stripped of his office as Lord Admiral. He was later subject to an attainder, depriving him of the earldom of Spargrove and preventing his son from inheriting his title and estates. He would never face trial, but would languish in prison until his death in 2E 567; a rare case of ruthlessness from the otherwise pacific and unremarkable Gaston VI.

The Spargrove coup was a failure: the abortive attempt to remove Nerius from power only consolidated the wizard's favour and influence, and had undermined the relationship between the king and his earls. Beuvron would be avenged, and Nerius finally ousted, by the Lords Supplicant in the Spargrove Rebellion seven years later.

 Sixth Century
Pierre Ricaud

**Pierre Ricaud** is a Breton statesman. Since 2E 577, he has held the office of Lord Steward of Stormstone, as head of the royal household.

Following the controversial marriage of his daughter Elise to King Garlan II in 2E 574, Ricaud has enjoyed the status and influence of the king's father-in-law. Granted the barony of Gullpeak, he has promoted his kinsmen and dependents to positions of power within the royal court and government. Ricaud is bitterly opposed by the Lords Supplicant, a faction of the old nobility.
The Strife

**The Strife** is the name given to the civil war in the Kingdom of Stormstone, fought during the middle of the fifth century of the Second Era. In this conflict those loyal to the young King Garlan I warred against the supporters of Foulques Treban, the Earl of Redhall and Lord Protector.

 Sixth Century
Kingdom of Daggerfall

The **Kingdom of Daggerfall** is Breton realm in western High Rock. It is ruled from the eponymous city-state, a port striding the Iliac Bay and the Abecean Sea.

It is ruled by King Donel II of the House of Deleyn, who is supported by the Royal Council.

## **Currency**

In the Kingdom of Daggerfall, the **silver drake** – a silver coin weighing 10g – is the basic unit of currency.

The lowest value coin is the copper **wyrm**. 100 wyrms are worth 1 silver drake. A **half-drake** (a silver coin weighing 5g) is worth 50 wyrms, whilst a **quarter-drake** (a silver coin weighing 2.5g) is worth 25 wyrms. The rare **golden dragon** is worth 20 silver drakes, or 2,000 wyrms.

## **Factions**

Numerius Proxinius, the Imperial ambassador, identified three distinct factions at Daggerfall's royal court.

*Unfinished*
Duchy of Potterhill

County of Grimdale

County of Hammerhill

County of Potterhill

County of Rainmarch

County of Stormhill

County of Towerfell

The **Duchy of Potterhill** is one of eleven duchies in the Kingdom of Silverspire. It covers the eponymous county and the counties of Bluenest, Foxhall, Grimdale, Hammerhill, Rainmarch, Stormhill, and Towerfell.

The Duchy is currently ruled by Renaud of the House of Marcy, who is the seventeenth duke of his line.
Constantin Vaire

Kingdom of Silverspire

The eldest son of Earl Clement Vaire and lady Elisabeth Laigne, sister to the Count of Greyfort, the knight was born under the sign of the Lady. He was named for his granduncle, Constantin Laigne - a saint of the Temple of Dawn and Dusk.

*Unfinished*
House of Combray

The **House of Combray** is a dynasty of Breton nobility, ruling the Earldom of Fellgate as vassals to the Kingdom of Stormstone.

The current head of the house is Earl Roger Combray.

Demelza

Demelza , The Ninth Guide, is called upon only by the most desperate and lost.  Demelza’s life was a tragedy for the most part. Originally she was a rock gnome explorer and spelunker. She was separating from her party while traversing the Underdark. There was an earthquake or other such even which left her buried below with no way back up the way she came. She spend years and years fighting, hiding, scrounging, and surviving the perils of the Underdark alone (save her own beliefs that Arlo was with her). At one point she briefly allied with an outcast shadow elf and this elf taught her some dark magic to help her survive below. After nearly 50 years, miraculously, she found her way back to the surface (though now far from home). She told others her story, and though the perils were great, many gnomes wished to go below and see the wondrous (and sometimes terrifying) things yet to be discovered. Having become very accustomed to life below and very sensitive to the light, Demelza helped to settle a small underground burrow near the upper layer of the Underdark which could serve as a “leaving point” for those wishing to travel and explore below. She wrote many guides for survival and how best to avoid the alien creatures of the deep depths. She also wrote the first (controversial) gnomish book on necrotic spells which she had learned from her shadow elf ally. She participated in search parties for those who got lost and she helped draft maps. This small city would one day grow to become a great Deep Gnome city (lost in the Catastrophe), and all Deep Gnomes that exist today (if they cared to) could follow their lineage to this first permanent gnome city of the Underdark. Demelza met a premature end when, while leading others to a huge gemstone cavern she had found years ago, she was captured, enslaved, and killed by Ilithids. She was honored by Isolda for her bravery and dedication to protecting other gnomes and given the honorary job of shepherding dead gnomes into the afterlife.
Gerald Galan

Count of Pebbleton (jure uxoris; until 587)

Ruler of Pebbleton (jure uxoris; until 587)

Duchy of Talonmere

Kingdom of Silverspire

Charles (b. 544)

**Gerald Galan** was a member of the royal family of Silverspire. He was the Duke of Talonmere from 2E 547, and the Lord Protector from 2E 570, until his fall from power and grace in 2E 573. Additionally, he was the jure uxoris Count of Pebbleton from 2E 560 until 2E 587. Imprisoned for 34 years, he perished after a period of poor health in 2E 607.

His name now censured in polite company, Prince Gerald was at one time the most powerful figure in the kingdom. Considered to have been his brother’s equal, he accrued numerous titles and offices, which in turn allowed him to purchase a loyal retinue and favours in the royal court. In 2E 565, he was appointed Grand Steward.

The Talonmere faction, ostensibly calling themselves the Lords most Loyal, held influence in a good part of the realm. Lords Barbas and Marcy, the Grand Chancellor and Grand Treasurer respectively, were the Prince’s chief supporters.

The greatest opposition was found in Talonmere’s own mother, who sought to maintain the Damblain power that was so enjoyed under her father. These two factions, those for Talonmere and those for Damblain, would frequently clash during the reign of Henri IX. Though the Queen Mother kept a great deal of influence in the royal court and the realm beyond it, Prince Gerald became increasingly difficult to match or surpass.

His relationship with his brother, though falsely remembered as one of deception and betrayal, was in fact one of mutual respect and allowance. At times, the King found Gerald’s seemingly limitless ambitions irksome, once describing him to be of *‘low and unbecoming character’*, and yet he did neither oppose him nor move to check him. This freedom the Prince found to advance himself was not a thing afforded to any others in the realm, and was widely unpopular amongst the lower nobility.

*Unfinished*
The Imperial Legion

The Imperial Legion was, until recently, the professional force in the service of the Emperor - separate from feudal levies. Following the Soulburst and the collapse of Imperial order, the many Imperial Legions have backed a number of individuals: notably the Potentate, Gaius Horatius.

Made up of cohorts, numbering several thousand at full strength, and commanded by legates and assisting tribunes, the Imperial Legions are famed for their professionalism and elite nature.
Henri Beuvron (the Elder)

## Henri Beuvron

Kingdom of Stormstone

**Henri Beuvron** was a Breton nobleman in the Kingdom of Stormstone. He ruled as the Earl of Spargrove and for many held the distinction of the most powerful nobleman at the court of his second cousin, King Gaston VI.

He held office as Lord Admiral of Stormstone between 2E 554 and 563. In 2E 563, in conspiracy with Queen Adela (his rumoured lover), Beuvron seized the young Prince Garlan and attempted to proclaim himself Lord Protector. His coup failed when the king, afflicted with the Knahaten Flu, recovered from the plague.

Beuvron was cast into prison and subjected to an attainder, stripping him of his earldom and depriving his son Henri from inheritance. He would languish in prison, without facing a trial, until 2E 567. Shortly after the death of King Gaston VI, Beuvron was found dead in his cell. Officially, his death was attributed to suicide. Many, however, suspect more a more sinister cause.

The tribulation and death of Henri Beuvron would become a *cause célèbre* of the Lords Supplicant, which includes his son Henri and his nephew Roger Combray.
Morcant IV

**Morcant IV**, who became Prince Morcant the Green following his forced abdication, was the grandson of King Morcant III and the last Morcantine ruler of Silverspire.

His reign began in 1E 2425 with the death of his grandfather, his father having died just three years prior, and would last until his abdication to his uncle in 1E 2432. In 1E 2447, Morcant would revolt alongside his twin sister Jeanne in an attempt to reclaim the throne; the year following, he killed - and was killed by - King Henri I in a battlefield duel.

## **Timeline**

**1E 2420 — Morcant is born.**

* He is the son of Prince Roger, King Morcant III's legitimate son.

**1E 2422 — Prince Roger dies in battle *(aged 2)*.**

* He is slain by the chief of the Morrowmere tribe.

**1E 2425 — King Morcant III dies *(aged 5)*.**

* Prince Morcant ascends to the throne as Morcant IV. He rules under the regency of Denis Castelner.
* Prince Henri, Morcant IV's illegitimate uncle, returns to the Kingdom of Silverspire. Henri pledges himself to Morcant and is quickly given command of the King's armies.

**1E 2432 — Morcant IV is forced to abdicated *(aged 12)*.**
Nerius

**Nerius** is an Imperial wizard hailing from Cyrodiil.

He arrived in the Kingdom of Stormstone in 2E 557. Nerius immediately exposed Vaermina as the cause of King Gaston VI's terrible nightmares, following which the mage was retained at the royal court as an adviser and tutor to Prince Garlan, the heir to the throne.

The wizard exercised significant influence over the king, becoming an *éminence grise* (never holding any formal title or office). The favour and trust in which Nerius was held provoked bitter resentment and jealousy among the kingdom's nobility, particularly Henri Beuvron, the Earl of Spargrove. For half a decade, the rivalry between the wizard and the earl would define the royal court of Gaston VI.

When the king was afflicted by the Knahaten Flu in 2E 563, Nerius was the only courtier willing to attend his royal master. He healed the king (a testament to his arcane mastery) and survived the Spargrove Coup: an attempt by Henri Beuvron to oust him from the royal court.

*Unfinished*
Knights of Stendarr

The **Knights of Stendarr**, also known as the **Knights of Glenpoint,** the **Swords of Stendarr** and the **Sons of Stendarr**, is a Breton knightly order operating in Cyrodiil.

The order was founded following a collective religious experience called the *Dream of Stendarr*, in which the God of Mercy is reported to have commanded numerous people throughout High Rock to take up the sword in his name. Stendarr charged the recipients of the *Dream* to travel to Cyrodiil - at this time devastated by Varen's Rebellion - to protect the helpless and holy places.

Those able to do so convened at Glenpoint in southern High Rock, and there swore the mutual and sacred vow that would found the Knights of Stendarr. To demonstrate their conviction and dedication, the Knights also renounced their worldly wealth and lands; waiving all lordship and inheritance. From Glenpoint, the Knights sailed the Abecean Sea and landed at the western Cyrodiilic port of Anvil.

Without a definite leadership structure, the order only remained united for several months after their arrival in Cyrodiil. Following this, the diverse outlooks and ambitions of the knight-brothers took them on different paths - although each ostensibly remains dedicated to their original purpose, and to each other.

Some knights have occupied castles and fortresses - captured or abandoned - from which they effectively rule petty fiefdoms. Such strongholds are generally close enough to a temple or shrine for the knights to justify its occupation. Others have remained strictly itinerant, travelling the land and depending on the charity and hospitality of those they protect. Unsurprisingly, some knights have been known to take advantage of this goodwill: extracting coin and goods in a manner not dissimilar to tribute or rents.

Opinions on the Knights of Stendarr are divided. Some laud them as righteous crusaders undertaking a noble and holy cause, whilst others condemn them as opportunistic and rapacious brigands. This is ultimately a reflection of the order's own divergence. The onset of the Three Banners War has also impacted on the Knights' image, with many suspecting them to be forerunners of a greater Breton invasion.
House of Galan

Principality of Goldenheight

Gerald (Imprisoned)

Edouard (Earl of Griffinheight)

The **Galan dynasty** exists in two distinct forms and periods. The first **House of Galan** refers to King Henri III and his descendants, who ruled over the Kingdom of Silverspire from 1E 2665 to 2E 348. The second refers to the restoration of the dynasty by Henri VI in the Thirteen Years War (2E 445 - 2E 458) with his ascension to the throne.

The Galan family tree can be viewed here.
Kingdom of Wayrest

The **Kingdom of Wayrest** is a Breton realm in central High Rock. It is ruled from its eponymous capital city - seated on the mouth of the Bjoulsae River. In the sixth century of the Second Era, it is the most prosperous and powerful Breton kingdom - extending its hegemony across the region through the Greater Daggerfall Covenant.

Lord Justiciar of Stormstone

The **Lord Justiciar**, sometimes simply called **the Justiciar**, is the head of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Stormstone.

One of the Great Offices of the Realm, and thus an *ex officio* member of the King's Council, the Lord Justiciar is appointed to oversee the dispensation and administration of royal justice throughout the kingdom. The office-bearer is regarded as the paramount jurist and legislator in the realm, and thus serves as the king's principal legal adviser.

The Lord Justiciar is responsible for appointing the Justices of the Realm; officers who travel the kingdom to ensure the pertinent and punctual enforcement of the law, commonly referred to as "sweeping the gaols". Furthermore, judges of the Court of Lesser Offences and the Court of Greater Offences are appointed and supervised by the Lord Justiciar. The office-bearer personally presides over the Court of Reprieve as judge, and is thus empowered to overturn the judicial errors of the earls.

Since 2E 565, Sir Renaud Mortain has held the office of Lord Justiciar.
Hazim Guard

The **Hazim Guard**, or simply the **Hazim**,is an elite order of warriors in the Principality of Cespar.

Established in the First Era as the bodyguard of the Yokudan kings of Cespar, the Hazim Guard pledged their service to Guerin Corseul following the Breton conquest of 1E 2868. The order would subsequently protect the Corseul dynasty for almost four centuries until the deposition and regicide of King Drogo VI in 2E 390. Since then, the Hazim Guard has served as the bodyguard of the elected Princes of Cespar.

Throughout its long history, the Hazim Guard has been solely composed of elite Yokudan warriors.

## **Notes**

* *hazim* (حازم) translates from Arabic as resolute or firm; ironic given the Hazim Guard's history of defection.
Parliament of Cespar

The **Parliament of Cespar**, otherwise known as the **Great Council**, is a deliberative assembly in the Principality of Cespar.

The parliament was first introduced to Cespar by the conquering Bretons after 2E 2868. During the rule of the Corseul kings the parliament was an event rather than an institution; convened intermittently when the monarch was in need of extraordinary funds. Following the Regicide of 2E 390, Prince Roland I confirmed the permanence of the *Great Council* to secure the allegiance of the capital's wealthy burghers (whose support prevented early attempts to restore the House of Corseul to power).

Seats in the parliament are allocated according to qualifications of property and wealth; its members therefore belong to the noble, knightly and mercantile classes. The latter group (comprised of many Redguard merchants) represents a majority of the assembly. Though exclusively drawn from these privileged estates, the parliament claims to represent the entire *"commonwealth"* of Cespar.

Any new law or taxation proposed by the Prince of Cespar must be approved by the parliament before it is enacted. Generally, a Prince must acquiesce to the petitions and complaints of parliament in order to secure its assent.

Attending parliament is not a itself a vocation; by requisite its members are landholders and merchants. Whilst the Great Council itself is permanently in session, most parliamentarians (particularly those who reside outside the capital) only attend when a deliberation or vote is at hand. Over half of the assembled parliament must vote in favour of a proposal for it to be enacted; an absentee parliamentarian forfeits their vote.
King's Men

The **king's men** is a term used to loosely describe those who are intrinsically loyal to Garlan II, the King of Stormstone. Unlike the Lords Supplicant and the Ricaud faction, the fidelity of these individuals is not conditional on patronage and rewards. The king's men are not a sworn confederacy, but are aligned by their common values and objectives (which may at times diverge). They fundamentally seek to uphold (and even advance) the authority and dignity of the king, and reject the factionalism and sedition that has plagued the kingdom in recent years.

Earldom of Oakmont

The **Earldom of Oakmont**, also rarely called **Oakmount**, is a feudal lordship and vassal of the Kingdom of Stormstone.

The fiefdom is currently ruled by Earl Frederic, who belongs to the House of Hallencourt.

## **Geography**

The land covered by the Earldom is perhaps best known for the great and solitary oak, for which the fiefdom was named, central to it. Believed to be the oldest tree in the Kingdom of Stormstone, it is both magnificent and awe-inspiring. Standing eighty feet tall, with a trunk thirty-five feet wide, the tree is guarded by members of the Earl’s own retinue.

[Unfinished]

## **History**

Though the exact founding of the Earldom is disputed, with many believing it seized to exist a number of times across the history of the realm, it is clear that the territory as it is now is as old as the Kingdom of Stormstone itself. Ever remaining the holding of the old and proud House of Hallencourt, the Earldom’s borders have remained largely unchanged for a number of centuries.

The involvement of the First Earl Hallencourt (first since the founding and formal recognition of the Kingdom), Roland Hallencourt, in the Daggerfall-Stormstone war against Northpoint is both well-known and well-regarded. A great commander, on land and water, he secured a number of key victories on the Northern Sea.

Amongst the most famous of the Hallencourts was the Third Earl Frederic Hammerhand. Named for both his strength and his construction of the Hallencourt Castle, Hammerhand was largely responsible for the later shift of the Hallencourt seat away from the city of Highport. Siring five sons, he secured Hallencourt inheritance amongst his numerous descendents for all the centuries that followed.

County of Malja

The **County of Malja** is one of five fiefdoms in the Principality of Cespar, established after the Breton conquest in 1E 2868. The county's first ruler was Toussaint Monet, one of Geurin Corseul's companions.

With the disappearance of Count Tancrede and the increasingly unlikely possibility that he might return, Sybille Monet became the 21st Countess of Malja in 2E 603.
Mansur at-Imad

**Mansur at-Imad** is Redguard merchant.

The patriarch of the wealthy at-Imad family, Mansur is a leading member of the Forebear community in the Principality of Cespar.

Continuing his family's longstanding mercantile influence, Mansur is a Master of the Spicers' Guild and sits on the Great Council of Cespar.

He is a close personal friend of Sir Jacques Criel, the Lord Treasurer, whom he met during their guild apprenticeships. Their friendship has endured the decades, including an unremitting written correspondence during Criel's five year embassy to Daggerfall.

Mansur's son, Nasir, currently serves as the Lord Treasurer's secretary.
Charles Maire

**Charles Maire** is the Lord Treasurer of Wayrest, his appointment coinciding with the ascension of King Emeric in 2E 563.

Coming from a middling burgher family, his means and ambitions mild, Charles is considered by many a friend and by few a foe. His methods of raising finances have proven, outside of war and preparation for war, effective yet unoffensive, earning him a rather unique reputation as a kind tax collector. Though able, he is regarded as naïve.
Duchy of Eastbourn

County of Frostmere

County of Oldbuck

County of Shadow's Roost

County of Silverhall

County of Starheight

County of Townsend

County of Westhaven

County of Wyrmhall

The **Duchy of Eastbourn** is one of eleven duchies in the Kingdom of Silverspire. It covers the eponymous earldom and the earldoms of Flockshire, Frostmere, Oldbuck, Shadow’s Roost, Silverhall, Starheight, Townsend, Westhaven, and Wyrmhall.

The Duchy is currently ruled by Victoire of the House of Cabourg, who is the twenty-first ruler of her line and the Queen Mother of the realm.
Bernard FitzRaoul

Duchy of Malustar

**Bernard FitzRaoul**, called **Bernard the Black** and **Bernard the Bastard**,is an illegitimate son of Raoul III, Duke of Malustar. He is the half-brother of the late Duke Hugues III and uncle of the ruling Duke Raoul IV.

## **Timeline - *very unfinished***

**2E 540 — Bernard is born on 13th Second Seed.**

* He is an illegitimate son of Duke Raoul III and a washerwoman. Bernard is acknowledged by the duke and is granted the patronymic *FitzRaoul*.

**2E 559 — Duke Raoul III dies *(aged 19).***

* He is rumoured to have died in the bed of his mistress.
* Bernard's half-brother Hugues becomes the Duke of Malustar.

**2E 563 — Bernard is knighted *(aged 23)*.**

* He is girded by Duke Hugues in fulfillment of his late father's wish.
* This is facilitated by the death of Emma, the Dowager Duchess, who had impeded the advancement of her husband's bastards.

**2E 568 — Bernard is exiled from Malustar *(aged 28)*.**

* When his affair with a noblewoman is exposed, Bernard is challenged to a duel by her betrothed (the heir to one of the duchy's leading families), resulting in the latter's death.
* To keep the peace (and likely save his half-brother's life), Duke Hugues exiles Bernard from the duchy.

**2E 579 — Bernard returns from exile *(aged 39)*.**

* He returns to attend the funeral of Duke Hugues.

## **Quotes**

* *"I was born in infamy."* - when chastised for his infamous behaviour.
* *"Monogamy is foreign to a bastard."* - regarding his reluctance to marry.
* *"Such were my lord father's tastes."* - when branded the *"spawn of Sheor"* by Emma, the Dowager Duchess.
* *"My lord father was a dutiful lecher; I am but half of him."* - regarding his own illegitimate children.
Order of the Chalice

The **Order of the Chalice**, alternatively the **Knights of the Chalice**, is an order of chivalry founded by King Guerin I of Cespar in 2E 4.

The origins of the Order rest in the formative years of the Breton conquest of Cespar. Despite subjugating the island, Duke Guerin and his companions remained overwhelmingly outnumbered by the native Redguard population. Resolved to perpetuate their newly-conquered fiefdoms, the Breton counts convened in the Hazim Palace {?} and there pledged oaths to defend one another's *"justly acquired"* spoils. To seal this pledge of fellowship, the counts passed a gold chalice of wine (looted from {Yokudan King}'s treasury) between them, each taking a sip.

Memorialising this event, King Guerin I established the Order of the Chalice in the fourth year of the Second Era (he would also adopt the golden chalice as the royal symbol of Cespar). In its founding charter, the Order was pledged to protect *"this Bretonic realm of Cespar"* from foes *"within and without"*. Commanded by a Master, its allegiance was to *"the lord duke and king"* and his *"successors"*.

Whereas the Hazim Guard expeditiously defected during the Regicide, the Knights of the Chalice defended Drogo VI up to the the king's death. Owing to ambiguities in their founding charter and oath, the Order was successfully rehabilitated following the election of the first Prince of Cespar, Roland I in 2E 390. However, the Order's conflicting loyalty to Cespar and to the House of Corseul remains controversial.

Not all knights in Cespar belong to the Order, but all members of the Order are knights. The Order's ritual of induction hearkens back to its origins, whereby an inductee drinks wine from the very same chalice of Duke Guerin and his companions, thus emphasing the fraternity and continuity of the Knights.
