The Priesthood of Dikost supported Peter II Illiam Eam  meaning that much of the priesthood was out of favor during the reign of Elizabeth.  Elizabeth was eventually slain my Peter ii Illiam Eam solidifying his position as Tzar.  Peter II Illiam Eam was slain on the battlefield by Peter III Zhenya

===Royal Lines of Regor===

----

The Founder of the Line of Regor was Mihael of Regor and his two wives Eudoxia & Maria.  Euxodia had one son; Alexis I.  Maria was barren.  The three lived long happy lives with their one son considering both women his mother.  

==='''''Borna-Regor Wars'''''===

The son of '''Mihael & Eudoxia''' was '''Alexis I''' who would father 13 bloodthirsty children who fought bloody wars among themselves for 1500 years over the succession to throne of Regor.  The Eldest, '''Ivan Borna''', and his younger brothers '''Dimitri''', '''Alexi''', &  '''Fyodor''' contested over the bloody centuries. Ivan and Fyodor traded off the throne repeatedly.  Ivan murdered his father '''Alexis''' and mother '''Maria''' to seize the throne of Regor.  His brother Dimitri Petrovna lead the battle to dethrone Ivan, but disappeared.  While the sons of Maria and Alexis battled among themselves the children of '''Natalia''' and '''Alexis''' stayed out of the wars.    Natalia Zhenya was a married concubine, a second wife, and under Regor laws all her children were legitimate, bore the '''''Zhenya''''' name but despite age and timing of birth came behind the Regor children.

Eventually both the Borna and Regor Lines bled themselves out and Ivan and Fyodor's half brother Mydoris Zhenya took the ruined realm's throne to rebuild it and the Regor line.  

The Borna line became extinct after the death of Ivan II. However, it is know that 7 children of the Borna line had been taken away to [[Brunswick-Regor]] during the conflict.  Their whereabouts are unknown and popular myth has it that they were placed in foster families in Brunswick, unaware of their heritage and lived out their long lives in ignorance, all eventually dying of violence.  Many fairy tales and stories surround the ''Lost Borna children''.

==='''''Zhenya-Illiam Eam Conflicts'''''===
Mydoris Zhenya had one wife and one mistress. The three of them were constant boon companions. His mistress Eudoxia Illiam Eam bore one set of triplets who carried the Illiam Eam cadet branch name.  His wife Catherine bore 7 children under the Zhenya line.  Warfare among the two branches of Zhenya and Illiam Eam covered over a thousand years.  These conflicts were mostly peaceful, characterized by political movements, cold wars, and sabotage rather then bloody open warfare untill near the end of the epoch. 

During Mydoris's long reign members of both family branches were active in court life. In those years many situations arose where members of both branches worked well together.

Open war erupted when Caterine Zhenya took the throne on the death of her husband.  Caterine assumed the throne in her own right, declaring the House Alasaga although for all practical purposes the House didn't gain status as a ruling line till her daughter Elizabeth followed her to the throne. Peter II Illiam Eam was declared Tzar at the time of Mydoris I Zhenya's death. The wars of Zhenya-Illum Eam would continue openly till rather then her elder brother Pavel Zhenya who declined and fled Regor.  Peter Illiam Eam slew Elizabeth and took the throne.  Eventually Peter Zhenya defeated Peter Illiam Eam.

===='''''Clarrisa and Oberon during the Zhenya-Illiam Eam wars'''''====
Princess Clarissa was the third daughter of Czar Mydoris and Czarina Catrine.  A boldly outspoken child, she had much of the flaming personality of her bloody Regor Uncles.  She was witty, funny, and ruthless.   While a young girl she manipulated aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings so well that she  was considered a confidant of bitter enemies. While only 18 years old she was a Prima Sorceress and a High Priestess of the Tiger, bearing a Primal Imprint of the Squiggle of Regor.
  
When she was 19 an Embassy from Amber came led by its King Oberon.  The two began a tumultuous affair that was a scandal to both houses and briefly unified the Zhenya and Illiam Eam factions against Amber, and then in favor of Amber after the two wed.  

The Reign of Queen Clarrissa of Amber lasted several hundred years in Amber and absented her Regor politics till the reign of Paul I.

==='''''Pherick-Zhenya '''''===

These conflicts were unrevealed for centuries and manifested as strange wars, assassinations, intrigue and sickness.  The details would be long in explaining.  However when Alexander I was found dead his grandson Konstantine tried to seize the throne.  Alexander I's brother Nicholas I took the throne and drove Konstantine into hiding. Eventually the Pherick insurgents were defeated during the long reign of Alexander III.  Konstantine was revealed and fought nearly to death after it was proven that he had gone to the Courts of Chaos and become a Lord of Chaos.
 
==='''Black Years War-Patternfall Conflicts'''===

Konstantine and Alexander III fought during the Years of Blackness which correspond with the Black Road and Patternfall Wars.   Konstantine disappeared in defeat, and Alexander died.  His son Nicholas II took the throne after the Black Years War.  

==='''External and Small Scale Threats'''===

Regor is located in a section of the shadow realms where many small realms have mighty sorcerers able to cross realms and bring war for a wide variety of reasons.  During these conflicts the Family of Regor had often set aside family squabbles, however bitter, to fight side by side against foreign foes.  Think of Regor as a tornado of great magnitude, with the debris in its funnel different shadows.  Then surround the central tornado with thousands of tiny tornadoes, each with their own debris patterns.  Sometimes the debris from the small ones gets mixed in the big one.  That is the violent conflicts in Regor realms. 

The Tower of Dikost is a potent magical source and its rulers often invade other shadows to cull treasures and peoples.  many of the small wars are called Dikost Struggles. 


==='''The Scourge of Regor'''===

[[Borlak]] is a Prince of Amber, a son of Oberon, and a bitter and cruel man, as evil and wicked as any in shadow and Chaos.  He leads a vast horde of mostly horse mounted troops in ravaging paths across shadow. Horse, by the way, is a general term used to describe a warrior on a animal's back.  The shape of the animals are greatly mixed, as are the races of the barbarians.  Borlak seems to hunt in shadow for violent creatures and conquers them, often on many neighboring shadows, to add to his uncountable hordes. These groups settle on a shadow, bleed it dry, literally, then move on.  

He is considered one of the worst people in shadow.  He is not, however, stupid.  He never leads troops into realms that allow faster then light travel, blocking Amber's Star Fleet and space forces from attacking him.  He does not go into worlds where a wide variety of firearms systems work without adequate preparation.

The Flowing Horde is known for its cruelty.  

He has fought the Regor Empire and been involved in all its wars either as a mercenary or a eager participant. His forces ride through shadows that are part of the Regor Sway and cast shadows of his forces deep into Regor shadows where the forces of Regor frequently must confront them.  

He has been banished from Regor several times and is generally unable to personally enter the closed realm.  However, belligerent forces often sneak him in, or import his forces as mercenaries.  Some wars have had his forces on both sides. 

----
Recently as time flows Borlak was attacked by forces of Alexandir Kos Korag of the Tosian Empire.  He fought Borlak hand to hand, nearly ripped his head off, and took his sword, Shieldbreaker.  Borlak's location is unknown.
