The Swordlords of Restov

History
 Bandits from the river kingdoms and Issia nearly spelled the end of the small colony of Rostland in its early years. Sirian Aldori challenged the bandit leader to single combat, half his wealth if he should lose, or the bandit's head if he wins. The bandit leader accepted and bested Sirian, who fled the country in shame.

 Years later Sirian returned with a 100,000 gold wager for a rematch, and bested the bandit in seconds, reestablishing his rule over Rostland. He kept open the wager, 100,000 gold to any who could best him in a duel - thousands flocked to Rostland to answer the challenge, and thousands were defeated. It was Sirian Aldori who founded the Aldori dueling school, and the students of that school rule over Restov to this day.

Current information
 Unlike the rest of Brevoy, Restov is ruled by a council, the four swordlords of Restov. To become a swordlord, a person must demonstrate mastery of the blade, must command an army of at least 500, and must get approval from the existing swordlords. The current leader of Restov is Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellemius, and it was his plan to send people out to settle The Stolen Lands.

Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellemius
Current lord mayor, and leader of The Silvercloaks, the largest force of any of the swordlords

Azygos Quarashi
A foreigner from Osirian, Azygos put together the broken pieces of one of the old swordlord's forces. In 4680 Enyon Harvey led a campaign against Pitax, but his army was defeated and he was killed. After this, a merchant from Restov, Azygos Quarashi put back together the pieces of Enyon's forces along with some of her own to form The Broken Regiment.

Melor Badwen
Leader of The Shadowswords - the smallest force of any of the swordlords, the shadowswords specialize in special operations which require some subtlety

Beli Roscarroc
Leader of The Immortals - The most well trained foot army of all of the swordlords, the Immortals fight with spear and shield and when they go to battle, there tend to be very few casualties

Joseppa Trevose
Leader of The Snow Eagles - Joseppa is unwed and has no natural children, but she is getting old and so in 4699 she adopted Jocelyn Penhallow (now Jocelyn Trevose), a twelve year old girl from a minor noble house which was under Rogvarian rule until the vanishing. Her family was killed in the conflicts following the vanishing.
