"Brevoy is currently ruled by the House Surtova — the former kings of Issia. But their power pales in comparison to that of House Rogarvia, when they were here. So now, Surtova and Aldori stand facing each other, staring each other in the eye, waiting for the other to draw their sword. It's an untenable situation. No one wants a civil war that would drown Brevoy in blood... but peace between us is also out of the question."
