The first parcel of what would become Succession was a land grant to a son of the High Boyer of [[Boyer Kingdom]] in 712. Dhovisha, being the youngest of eight, was fairly certain he would never see the crown; instead, the polite and engaging apple of his father's eye was given a deed to land unused by the emperor at that time. The emperor signed off on the agreement and Dhovisha Arasstai set off to create his own legacy. Owning the choicest cut of land in the unclaimed wilds of western central [[Dregar]], Dhovisha set about making his barony with a farming and livestock center (which it remains today). Many generations of his kin followed, taking the surname Dhovisha and tending to the lands. [[Seacove]], already established, ignored the new barony that now belonged to it. One enterprising count formed a trade treaty in 947 that forced an acknowledgment of the former barony's right to collect certain taxes. | |||
The area called Zaj was next, being the entirety of the Backbone Mountains, and granted with the emperor's permission to Ahmet Zaj. Ahmet was both a brave and skilled warrior and a charismatic leader. The <span class="ITALIC">Abt</span> (a nomadic tribe) say that this gift was twofold: one, to reward a faithful soldier for service; and two, to remove him from the admiring eyes of the people and prevent a possible coup. Whatever the reason, Zaj has always had the most reliable path through the mountains (starting in [[Sandstone]]), and Zaj contains one of the most sought-after <span class="ITALIC">restorative</span> towns on Dregar, Lakeside. It is not uncommon to find several dozens of influential people and their families relaxing in the saunas here or taking guarded hikes up the mountainside. | The area called Zaj was next, being the entirety of the Backbone Mountains, and granted with the emperor's permission to Ahmet Zaj.
