I kinda explained the D'Hara thing a long time ago...
But first let me say that the original Shadovar rebellion was performed by Mathias Ridder, who enlisted the help of Yoruk Bronzeweasel. Apparently Yoruk got shafted immediately after the rebellion was successful. lol @ Mathias for stabbing his friends in the back.
Yes Artemesia, both Chénier and I were present in the realm for those events. The question is more, was the succession of D'Hara the formation of a totally new realm, or was it one of those successions that are more to undermine a few powerful nobles so the realm can get back on track. My memory was that most of Shadovar supported the succession, but we did need to lead a few armed missions in to completely reclaim the land. This was shortly after Mathias Ridder was bolted, I think for abusing an OOC ban as the ruler. Of course he later became a Duke in the realm and caused many problem with the whole SA vs The Way of The Dragon.
