Message: <blockquote data-quote="Conaill" data-source="post: 802946" data-attributes="member: 1264">How about this... (just a summary, I'm not saying we should get rid of all the juicy details!)The ancient dwarven fortress of Kul Moren has been taken over by an alliance of Derrro and Hobgoblins. Mor grows up as a slave and escapes, to find his hometown obliterated. Has a dream, goes to seek out Warlord Eregh Nohan. Eregh is reluctant, but is persuaded by his grandmother Lady Kelvin, a powerful sorceress and Seer. Eregh marches his army towards Kul Moren, manages to reunite the remaining dwarven tribes high in the mountains, and the joint army retakes Kul Moren. Scattered hobgoblin bands flee south and seek refuge in the swamp, vowing to one day come back and retake Kul Moren. The dwarves resettle Kul Moren (they claim the Derro have been obliterated, but who knows?...) and tell Eregh of the riches in the area around the lake. Eregh splits the region between his two best men: Russol Mor (who starts a settlement at the mouth of the river flowing out of the lake), and "Katze" Kulpin (who becomes a pirate terrorizing the lake after some dispute with Eregh and/or Mor).Mor's End flourishes, but Mor - uninterested in administration and politics - leaves the day-to-day running of the city in the surprisingly capable hands of Lady Kelvin. Eregh disappears out of the picture somehow. (In real life, I believe Eric went back to being a teacher and librarian, so it would be nice if we could add in some allusion to that. Perhaps Eregh died and Mor appointed Lady Kelvin to rule Mor's End in his honor?)Lady Kelvin later dies under mysterious circumstances, but the aging Mor acquires  a new mistress who soon proves to be a capable admistrator. Before his death, Mor appoints her as head of the city, carrying the "Lady Kelvin" title which people had come to associate with the position. The "Lady Kelvin" titled has since passed from mother to daughter, and although they have not always ruled the city, they always play a significant role in its politics (e.g. advisor to the dukes during the Silk Years). They all have the same striking green eyes as the very first Lady Kelvin - Erek's grandmother.What do you think, does that seem to work? We essentially keep almost all of fusangite's history, but make Mor a second-in-command under Eregh Nohan (I do think we do need to keep this, if only for EN World historical reasons, and as a tribute to Eric), and reintroduces Lady Kelvin as a central role in Mor's End history and politics.</blockquote>
