└── [Third line] → Crown Princess Eilrora (currently ruling, GRANDDAUGHTER)
Three-Way Dispute:
- Crown Princess (Eagle faction, ruling, junior claim)
- Falcon bastards (Elincia/Alvar/Yavanna, attacking, illegitimate)

Important Secrets & Relationships
CRITICAL SECRETS:
- Avicia is rightful heir (only party + Patriarch + Princess + Eldrin know)
- Odonia made assassination arrangement with Princess (meta-knowledge - party unaware except Odonia)
- Dormant Bane commands in ToooAh/Odonia/Patriarch (party aware)
- Elvva's corruption CRITICAL (sprite manifestation, overflow risk)
- Lord Pompaduke "Brother Algrim": Second identity revealed S36; green Bane aura from lute during cathedral service; party witnessed, congregation did not; allegiance unknown
KEY RELATIONSHIPS:
- ToooAh adopted Avicia (enormous stakes, education decision pending)
- Elik'r connected to Purple Dragonborn (calls his name from ancient past)
- Yavanna had relations with Elik'r (unaware of connection to Alvar)
- Barry/gnome army seek revenge on Odonia (shot in eye)
- Co'narr distrusts Crown Princess
- Elik'r severe guilt (forced to kill Elvva in vision, Guy's death, ~25 friendly fire casualties Session 25)
- Odonia private meeting with Princess Session 26 (assassination arrangement confirmed)
STRATEGIC POSITIONS:
- Odonia: Lady of Sylobelle (land ownership), Royal Advisor (left of throne)
- Party: Marshals of the North, 712 troops, war chest access
- Stormhold Keep: Official deed granted
- Base secure but castle inaccessible (too far for immediate return)
The Bane
Nature: Evil incarnate, pure corruption, "the earth itself" (living entity), feeds on chaos
History: Corrupted dwarves in First Age, imprisoned by dragon gods (one died), released when party blew horn
Current: Active, strong presence in Belendar, corrupting Elvva (sprite manifestation)
Capabilities: Plants dormant commands, psychological curses, corrupts magic (green glow), sprite manifestation = advanced corruption, can overflow and take over host, shortens lifespan
Detection: Party has Bane Sense (currently unfocused, overwhelming)
Threats: Elvva's sprite manifestation (CRITICAL), dormant commands, progressive influence, overflow risk
Co'narr's Knowledge (Session 26):
- Bane Watchers have "sad existence"
- Can shorten lifespan
- More attuned = worse corruption
- Can overflow and take over host
- Sprites = normal manifestation
- Citadel visit URGENT for training/cure
