Olek
Knyaz of Sturgia - Resents Raganvad's Authority
Olek is patriarch of the Kuloving, one of the oldest of the Sturgian clans, which never really accepted the idea of the monarchy. He believes the boyars should be lords in their own lands. He is famed for once telling the prince, 'Every wound I suffer in battle under your banner is like my wife's caress, but every denar I pay to your treasury in tax is like an arrow in my gut.' He is older now, and keeps his counsel, but few believe that his resentment of princely authority has in any way diminished.

Well, my other sister - Siga - she wasn't having any of that. She rescued NAME, and left the Khuzait's castle in flames behind her. Well, Raganvad couldn't have that - he had my sister taken by surprise, and sent her head to the Khuzaits. This is not something that our family can forget." |
