Ricard
The eldest, he was appointed Count of Upperfell within 3 months of his arrival at court. Irascible and disputatious, he dislikes bureaucracy and wooly leadership and has little time for religion. Remarkably he has stayed loyal to Redspan who's leaders have exhibited all those traits at one time or another. Even more remarkably he is counted as one of the inner circle of advisors. Secretly he wishes to be a successful infiltrator but constantly argues with his tutors and makes little progress. He currently bides his time, somewhat impoverished, in Stargard awaiting some new initiative in the war with the NA.
Conrad(d.)
Attracted by the sagas which had enthralled him in his younger days he travelled to north Atamara and took command of a troop in Norland. Then as now they fought Eston, only then Barony of Makar were also enemies. Inquisitive and a little too daring for his own good he could not resist the opportunity to become an infiltrator. Ill prepared he was soon captured and imprisoned by Eston. He did not survive and was never seen again. We are not sure of the precise circumstances but we like to think he perished in a valiant attempt to escape.
Rolf
Started his career on the Colonies in the Realm of Giblot at a time of constant war. Realising the life of a warrior was all he wanted he declared himself Hero and forsook all other professions forever. Events overtook his career plans in Giblot however. The government was overthrown politically by newcomers who's followers held the most votes. Unhappy with the Usurper's style he emigrated to Beluaterra and joined the Realm of Old Grehk.
For a Hero this was a most opportune decision for he arrived at the start of the The Second Undead Invasion. Within weeks he was apppointed Count of Rolbury and set about defending it from the invasion vanguard. The invasion lasted over a year. With countless battles, honour and prestige quadrupled he has more tales to tell than can be told in a whole lifetime. Rolbury was taken by the "rogues" but is once again entrusted to Rolf. Quiet times have engulfed the island but Rolf keeps himself occupied with various projects.
Ronan
The youngest brother, he chose to start his career in Falasan. It having a reputation as a successful trading realm it appealed to his tendency to spot the main chance so to speak. Indeed his first weeks were spent trading. However with increasing turmoil all around Falasan was soon at war. This tends to close a lot doors to a trader. Returning to the capitol he purchased a small troop of cavalry and travelled to the battle front. For over a year he toiled and fought, bringing his troop through many a difficult situation. His reliability and steadfastness has recently been rewarded by his appointment as Marquis of Menedor.
