Amongst her allies, the powerful pirate fleets that united under her banner for the first time since the days of Reinut, famous knights Sir Gust De Weer and Sir Jan Reuter, the Van Oords of Castalor, the Bach’s of Colle and rumored, but never confirmed officially the ‘Old Crow’ of Scaldingport himself. Also known as the ‘Fair’ Anne Burton, the ‘Rebel Princess’ and the ‘Pirate Queen’.)

Lady Lotte (Riverdor. Wed to the Lord of Riverdor.)

*) Several rumors have Nienke dying in Issir’s Eagle, or near it. Some confirming the birth of an heir (not all a boy), others denying it.

**) In Sir Gust De Weer’s version of the events and late Sir Mael Bolte’s surviving army records, Sir Robert made it out of Rida and Raoz. Of course this turned Lord Janos’ position as Baron of Badum invalid and highly disputed in the years that followed.

***) Sir Shane Est Ravn, the Priest Knight of Midlanor was rumored to have survived the High Queen’s death. The rumors fueled by the adventures of an Issir Knight-errant with the same first name that traveled extensively in the Lorian lands the years that followed. The man accompanied by his young daughter. The famous Lesian song ‘Ode to a Roving Heart’ hinting they were the same person.

****) Huge red flags accompanied Antoon the Third’s heredity, from the absence of an independent witness confirming Lord Anker's story, missing the Eikenaar distinct eyes, or Nienke’s and Elsanne's light-colored jade pools, to his pedestrian looks and mediocre intelligence. A couple of decades later of course the truth would eventually come out.
