Editing Eranon's Stuff he knows (section)

===The Traitor Princes===
Completing the Shadow’s hierarchy within occupied
Eredane are the traitor princes, leaders of noble houses who
betrayed the Kingdom of Erenland and their own people for
an extended, though tainted, lifespan, as well as the power
over their fellow men that they’ve always coveted. Lesser in
stature but just as greedy and malevolent are the false sussars,
petty southern nobles and administrators of Sarcosan descent
who have become puppet rulers throughout Southern
Erenland. Both types of leaders command their own (largely
human) troops, establish their own laws, and conspire against
their peers for the Shadow’s favor. Izrador’s gift of long life
has heightened the character flaws of the traitor princes, leading
to dangerous forms of insanity and instability, while the
false sussars long for the dark gift whose cost they cannot
fathom. While the areas controlled by the traitors still retain
the veneer of civilization, they can be far more dangerous
than areas controlled by the legates or even the orcs.
