Victorr Taras of the Royal Taras Family has taken a firm hold of his region, careful not to allow anything to happen in his Shire without his approval or knowledge. His stern demeanor and somewhat ruthless tactics has allowed him to retain possession of the lands surrounding his keep throughout the war with Tomicia and Servosa despite the heavy losses in other parts of the Barony. His visible presence during the defense of his lands and skills as a natural leader, along with the noble standing of his family, have made him the natural choice as Lord of the new Shire.
