Their history ends perhaps three centuries ago... they were perhaps the original builders of these crypts (and Castle), perhaps.The Rivenroar Family were a Halfling trading clan that supposedly won the Castle in a game of dice, from Von Jallch's. No great heroes or exploits come to mind- the Rivenroars were perhaps the last inhabitants of the Castle, and quickly abandoned the place and went back to river-trading when the Nerath Empire fell.The Von Adrez-Kauthin were a violent bunch of human's, more akin to Bandit Lords than Ladies and Gentlemen, they ruled over the Nentir Vale, or a portion of it for more than a century. They were also responsible for building the original city walls at Fallcrest- destroyed much later by the Red Hand. No names or deeds spring to mind.The Von Jallach family were the last family to rule from Rivenroar (the castle has gone under many different names- as per the family names), how they came to power is unknown- how they lost power is still laughed at today- they lost their fortune in a dice game to the Rivenroar clan. Again, a human family, the Von Jallach's however didn't last long- about two decades till all the money was gone.Certainly the Rivenroar tombs you found contained the remains of Halflings- so that bears out your recollections.</blockquote>
