02 - Iron Kingdoms W.. - Captain Spud Is Amazing

108.1.141.197
Captain of the Ordic Royal Navy and castellan of
Westcliffe Manor. Brogan is a quiet and introspective
son devoted to modernizing Ord’s antiquated armed
forces. Prince Brogan has traveled to many port
cities including Ceryl, yet he is most eager to visit the
Strategic Academy and Cygnaran Armory in Caspia.
He is married and has a son and daughter at his estate
in Berck, but his frequent travels abroad have strained
his marriage.
In addition to his sons King Baird has a pair of
daughters. Princess Carlutia Vascar (female Tordoran
Ari2/Ftr6) is as stubborn and irreverent as her father.
It was only through careful manipulation that he
managed to marry her to Captain Ostal Vascar (see
Midfast, pg. 307). Having given her an admonition
to stay away from home, he simply let nature run
its course. Carlutia has mellowed over the years
particularly after the birth of her two sons.
Baird II married his second daughter Princess
Sandrea Torcail (female Tordoran Ari6) to Rogan
Torcail, the prominent moorgrave of Almare.
Despite incensing the northern castellans by giving
his youngest daughter’s hand to a Thurian, Baird
made this shrewd political move to endear him to his
subjects in the south who love the princess greatly. She
is considered more ladylike than her older sister, and
the role of wife and mother suits Sandrea well. She is
one of the more influential nobles among the upper
circles of Armandor and has two young daughters and
an infant son. Sandrea adores her family, the people
of Armandor, and her father most of all, and like a
good daughter she always does her best to keep him
informed of any significant news.
Some Castellan’s jest that Baird III’s son Alvor
Cathor (male Tordoran Ari1/Ftr1/Rog5) is Ord’s
truest heir. He is the very image of his grandfather
in his youth with all the willful impertinence, love of
excess, and attraction to the irresistible lure of Five
Fingers. Alvor idolizes his grandfather but has not
spent much time with him. Recently Alvor has been
seen in the company of Eliana Mateu (see pg. 294),
daughter of the infamous Castellan Izabella Mateu.
Though this pairing scandalizes his father, Alvor revels
in the attention.
