|  Blackford Castle and Mistone
I am sorry if this information is out there somewhere, but I could not find it.
I was wondering who is in charge of Blackford Castle, and who the current rulers in Mistone are. I became curious a while back, Aeronn was traveling with some other adventurers passed the castle and mentioned what a beloved Queen Allurial had been. I would have gone on to say more about the current ruler, or at least inhabitants of the castle, but I realized I had no clue who that was.
Thanks in advance,
Andrios

From what I know, Mistone isn't One United Kingdom, but broken into 3 or four

Yes, you can check the maps for the kingdom breakdown. Currently, Blackford Castle is ruled by an appointed Steward (appointed by Allurial before she died), and Blackford castle is the governmental seat of Trelania.

The current queen of what is now the Whitehorn Kingdom is Arania Mouring.
Other information is not available at the moment due to ongoing writing. | | | | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to EdTheKet For This Useful Post: | | |

The steward's been replaced? ... and Trelania has been renamed?
Already.
Man I'm going to have a lot of work to do on LORE when that handbook comes out.

Yeah, that's kind of the problem with the way stuff gets released, as much as everyone looks forward to whatever can be given. It gets roleplayed, but without anything else that goes with it, like a disconnected fact floating in a void. So someone tomorrow will be saying IC, "Oh yes but that Arania up in Blackford is very nice, much better than that witch Allurial." or "Queen Mouring doesn't hold a candle to our Allurial, may she rest in peace." "What does she do?" "Absolutely nothing, just sits in her empty castle while the kingdom takes care of itself." "Good, the last one thought too much of herself, ruling all of Mistone as she did." or something. Hehe.
Regarding there being several kingdoms, that is true now, but Allurial was at the time the queen of Mistone, so it was still applicable at that point. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Acacea For This Useful Post: | | |

Thanks for all of the quick replies.
I should have written rulers of all the kingdoms of Mistone. In my head the plural implied more than one kingdom. That is what I get for posting at work. :P
At least now I can say Queen Mouring lives at Blackford Castle, if I am ever asked. Like Acacea (and everyone else I am sure) I am eagerly awaiting the new handbook.
I can not believe I forgot to check the maps! Especially since so much has changed from V2.
Thanks again to everyone that replied.

**glances up at Ed's post** Whew. I liked the name Trelania. Glad that's not changing at least.
