I can only speak for Rhidhana and not the rest of Fontan's negotiators at the time of the surrender. To her Nivemus is not a Sirion colony, but rather a homeland for the Rancaguan people cleansed of the poison of old King High Guard and his cronies. She still visits Ashforth from time-to-time to trade supplies and is hopeful that in time the northern realms will heal the old wounds and resume their ancient friendship.
Monte Cristo(formerly known as High Guard, ruler of Old Rancagua) is the ambassador and Banker, but is not yet a Lord in Nivemus. And his 'cronie's back in the days of Old Rancagua were the Fleishers, the Flockharts, and the Cobalts, a clan that eventually grew out of control(ironically, they are more of a clan than any of the people supposedly are in Fontan as they were actually a family OOC... I think Flockharts was Dad, Fleishers was Mom and Cobalt was kid). They moved that power to Sirion, and eventually paid the price for their corruption(Erik Eyolf banned them. Nobody even protested).
Really, we don't have that many Old Rancaguan characters there. We have Neji, Monte Cristo, Talius, and Olaf and that's about it. The rest are either additions from Sirion, Fontan, or other realms.
