=The Three Families=

Three powerful families dominate civil politics in Vikreng - the Enkbazetz, the Agretzad, and the Rangfolz. All three clans are mostly human or half-orc, with the occasional orc, half-elf, aasimar or tiefling mixed in. (Gnomes are still numerous up here in Gartihann, but they never prospered as well in the face of so many orcs and half-orcs.) All three families are descended from the pre-imperial rulers' top henchmen, which is as close to technical nobility as Gartihann offers. All three own lots of property - and have enough clout that the magocracy preferred not to steal their stuff under cover of law. The Agretzad and the Enkbazetz are notorious rivals; their hostility varies in nature, but is always fierce. They came to blows increasingly often in the run-up to the revolution, thereby unintentionally distracting the mages from the quiet return of the bards. After a bloody battle at a coming-out party, in which the Enkbazetz suffered an unexpected defeat, the rivals have been quiet for somewhat over a year.
