"History of Shadowdale - Mourngrym's Rule:

Since being recommended to the position by the outgoing Lord Doust Sulwood, Lord Mourngrym Amcathra's rule of Shadowdale has been less peaceful than he had hoped. The First Battle of Shadowdale occured in the Year of the Prince (1357 DR) and involved Daleland forces routing those of Lyran the Pretender. Lyran has made repeated attempts to gain the Lordship, as was intented by the former Zhentish puppet, Lord Jyordhan. While signifcant, this battle pales when compared to the larger battle fought on the same site between Bane-led Zhentil Keep forces and the Dales during the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR). When the Battle of Shadowdale referred to (without a number), it usually mens this second battle. In addition, Mourngrym has had to deal with a large number of skirmishes, incursions, a possible invasion from below, and other sundry disasters."

"Mourngrym and Shaerl have one child, Scotti, who is now nine winters old. By the customs of the area, he is not considered the heir apparent, and another suitable warrior or mage may take the reins of power of the small community. Most feel that Mourngrym will hold the Pendant, until his son has reached his maturity, then abdicate in young Scotti's favor once he takes his grown name. If this happens, it will be the first occasion of the lordship of Shadowdale passing down a family."
