Vanimedle' is still in Arcachon, but no longer the general of the realm. He also has a character in PoZ I believe. Lefanis is in Arcachon yes, he is the Duke of Enlod. Considering the general life span of any realm Lefanis plays a large part in Arcachon is doing remarkably well, it could have something to do with the geo-graphical location, but I'm sure the terrible military co-ordination in Arcaea and OW helps a lot.
