With Sir Baris joining the party, the Earldom of Techen has again come to our attention. I know it would help me to review my understanding of the recent history of said Earldom, given its evident centrality to our current business.
Revi Lenesque was the Earl prior to the rebellion of the Earl of Tormau only two years ago. His aunt had been Chafin III's queen, and is depicted in Rahel's tapestry. A nephew (?) of Revi is still at large, and of specific concern to Sir Auram. At some point early in Tormau's rebellion, Osric Jethysan, Arren II's brother-in-law, hauled Revi Lenesque out of his castle and beheaded him. Osric became the present Earl of Techen in recognition of this deed of loose-end tying up, and he subsequently fought in Golotha under Arren II, where he fell into the canal with a bunch of his knights and contracted the ubiquitous Golothan dysentery.
One of those unlucky knights was our new friend, Sir Baris Tyrestal, whose uncle is constable of Themeson Keep for Earl Osric. Perhaps I missed some discussion during my period of self-inflicted hearing loss during the first two-thirds of the session, but I am led to wonder whether Sir Baris' uncle (and/or Sir Baris himself) served under Revi Lenesque or Osric Jethyson prior to the rebellion. And whether Sir Baris (or his uncle) might know anything which might be of assistance in identifying our mysterious Lenesque youth who is the partial subject of Bevan's charge from Sir Auram. Thanks.
