• War in HeavenPrignam's war of vengeance against the Jonorn empire of Emperor Raeus, triggered by her discovery of Raeus' affair with her son Akura. Its casualty list includes the greatest civilization Nurrheim had ever known, the goddess herself, the god whose grief began the duel that ended it, and the supercontinent of Mokrae itself.
• OrlingBastard son of Farnek and a Jonorn woman; raised as an orphan in a village whose other notable orphan was Hurdania, Goddess of Justice, exiled by her grandfather Exar to live out a span among mortals. The two children fell in love over the years that followed, and she was carrying his unborn son Þordil when armed men he believed to be bandits descended on the village and struck her down, a deception staged by the mercenary commander who, having failed to recruit Orling by ordinary means, sent his own men in disguise to give him reason. Fought alongside the Doghul against the Legions of Voitykras during the Second Voityllic Rift with such ferocity that they named him friend; learned the truth of his recruitment only after the war was over; pursued his revenge against the mercenary who had ruined him, and was slain in single combat by the legendary Drakhul Viedskavn before he could reach his quarry. Died believing his lover dead, and the child she had carried lost with her. Never knew either had survived.
• ÞordilDemigod son of Orling the Wary and Hurdania, Goddess of Justice; warlord-king who in twenty-seven years of unbroken campaigning forged the greatest domain any Primevean had ever held, founded the dynasty that bears his name, and was remembered by his own line as the First Emperor of the Nortr. To those his armies broke, the Enorns, the Northern Isles, the Primeveans his Thrakheddenol sold into Drakhullic slavery, he is remembered in different terms.
