The empire founded by Tray Galund and his brothers in h-109 after seizing River City (CastleCliff) and renaming it Trayalon. Built on a foundation of military conquest, mercantile policy, and diverse religious tolerance. The council of four heroes (Freespirit, Duncan, Admond, Solomon) forms its practical governing body. After Tray's assassination, Admond becomes de facto ruler.
Attributes
NotesFounded h-109. Named for Tray Galund. After Tray's assassination, Admond Galund becomes de facto ruler with the council. By h-141: Admond and Graak Cinderforce were killed at the Tower of Basai by a maximized delayed fireball (triggered by Brandon Swiftwater escaping through the Basai portal to the Nexus). Peter Gallund assumes control with a strong hatred of outsiders. Solomon (Seamus Adair) maintains a large intelligence network spanning all River Lord empires AND extending into Arla — Jack the Gobo (Brightport) and contacts at Brimstone (Millworks) are part of this Arla network. The GRE intelligence network in Arla is an embedded function of this faction rather than a separate entity.
