Notes
Previous to Gied, little documented on family save family origins in group of Northmen who fled to Dale after wars with the Wainriders ending in the Battle of the Plain in TA 1856. Popular family rumor connects ancestors to “King” Vidugavia of the 13th century TA, though this is (likely) just to impress barmaids and the like.
