Is there something resembling a complete royal lineage for the Royal House of Myrmoran?
I have:
Uth I (Uthtower)
Ornoth I (Uthtower)
Uth II (Uthtower) / Ornoth II (Yarlith)
...
... Approx 340 years unknown
...
Uth VII (Uthtower)

Sure, but they are all Uths. Not very exciting.

Those are some long lived Uths. Uths 3 thru 7 would have had an average reign of almost 70 years and assuming each wasn't born immediately before their long lived father's death they probably had an average lifespan quite a bit over those 70 years.
I also doubt the Yarlith branch we're all Uths as well. The numbering scheme would have been quite confusing. |

| "Uth" sounds like someone asked the mother what the name of the baby would be -- while she was in labor. |

Or, someone had a cut on their tongue and was trying to say "us". |

Uth V was a wizard and known as "the Slumbering King" as he would spend significant amounts of time in stasis to avoid the effects of aging. He reigned from 349 DR to 543 DR. He was also regent for the adolescent King Ramorth III of Yarlith from 390 DR to 398 DR.

| Thanks this is great. Now the question is who was the power behind the throne while the king was slumbering. |

He must have had a number of regents, himself, if he was taking decade-long naps during his reign.
Can you imagine being a new servant in that palace? "Now this is the king, here. Don't try to wake him up, but make sure he gets dusted every week. He once woke up with a spider web on his nose and was very cross!" |

When Uth V was slumbering, the realm was ruled by a council of noble regents known as the Isandiani (or Lord Vassals in the Illuksan tongue).

Master Krashos,
I was just reading Dungeon magazine numbers 69 - 73 yesterday. Was the reference to Uth V and the Isandiani in there and I may have overlooked it, or in some other tomes? That is really interesting!

No, that lore comes from private work (for now) that Eric Boyd and I (and others) are doing on the North. It's "Fanon" so feel free to ignore it.

Master Krashos,
Oh, I am more than happy to take your work as effectively canon. I think you have the background enough to make that more than reasonable! I was just absolutely lost in trying to find it.
Alas...I didn't search your personal documents to find it. haha
Thank you for that! Is that something you are considering on putting more information out about in the future?
Best regards,

About Uthtower? Unlikely, Small realm that fell some 800 years ago and wasn't famous for anything other than playing a role in the fall of Phalorm. Can't see it adds all that much to the Realms historical firmament. We've mapped out its royal lineage and that of Yarlith too. Anyone want more, they can have fun and make it ups themselves.

Master Krashos,
Fair enough. :)
I just never assume what is out there and available, especially with some of the more prolific realms writers of lore such as yourself who are well known for putting that fantastic lore out there for public consumption! :)
