Transportation by the Pattern of Amber might pierce their isolation but transportation by the Sigil of Regor will not. |
The royal family of Brunswick became embroiled in the early Borna-Regor wars. Prince Anthony Ulrich married Anna, daughter of Ivan I. After terrible family conflicts the two fled into Brunswick with their 4 children. Rumor has followed them that she also stole her three sisters away, leaving the youngest, Tanya, behind. | The royal family of Brunswick became embroiled in the early Borna-Regor wars.

− | + | *'''''Dimitri Regor''''' was the prime protagonist in the opening phase of the Borna/Regor wars. A witness to Ivan's murder of his their parents he rallied troops against him. The battle of the twins was brutal and shockingly devastating as the first wholesale war in Regor's long bloody history. Five bloody years cost the royal family 3 members; Maria Regor, Yevdokia Regor, & Maria Dolgorukova( Wife of Mihael Regor). In the war's 6th year Dimitri suddenly disappeared and was presumed dead, though Ivan denied any involvement in his death. His long absence was partially solved during the reign of Peter III. When he was discovered wander outside the shadows of Regor suffering from Amnesia so profound that he looses him memory completely every 4 years or so. He manages to disappear every time he is found and brought back to Regor no matter what lengths are gone to in keeping him safe. A big man, and a warrior born, he often is found in shadows warfields. | |

Thin, almost elfin in appearance, she was a valiant member of the Regor military for hundreds of the early years, and a member of its inner council. Eventually weary, she retired from the warfield after the death of Ivan I. Living deep in the woods of Regor she is a frequent presence in Elf halls across Regor. |
− | + | *'''Ekterina Regor''' was the first High Priestess of the Tiger. The Primal Tiger followed her with passionate devotion. They were active parts of the Borna/Regor wars. During the second reign of Fyodor she resigned and went into seclusion after the Tiger left her to follow Borlok of Amber. | |

She was the prime motivator that placed Tanya Borna on the throne when Fyodor died and no children of his could be found. This attempt to settle the conflict by re-seating the ex-empress and daughter of Ivan I backfired and caused great resentment in the family and the populace, souring her reputation terminally. After that she started traveling the shadows and rarely returned to ''Gorod Bogov'' except during coronations and baptisms. |
− | + | *'''Natalya Zhenya''' Witty, Urbane, sarcastic, playfully cynical. She and her Zhenya siblings mostly stayed out of the Borna/Regor conflict, often supporting whoever held he throne as long as they left them alone in the family city of ''Petola''. When Myodoris became emperor she acted as Seneschal for many years. She has left the court and returned to it many times. A frequent face in court and city life. She is often considered, like [[Cymnea]] to be the "Elephant in the Room" of Regor politics. | |
